Description
Finally! One without grey hair!This is Silicon. Though she's somewhat socially awkward, she's friendly and pretty easy to get along with. She's a cheerful, happy-go-lucky kind of person. She is, however, very sensitive and easily hurt. She is rather weak. She is easy to read and absolutely cannot keep a secret- though she loves finding them. She's a computer geek and is great with technology. She knows how to hack.
Her eye color was chosen because of crystalline silicon's grey color, and her hair color was chosen because of amorphous silicon's brown color. Her shirt says "Si" in binary code- a reference to her love of computers.
Silicon is relatively inert but capable of bonding with a large number of elements, so she is socially awkward but friendly. Silicon is very electropositive, so she has a positive attitude. It's brittle, so she's sensitive and weak. Silicon transmits wavelengths of infrared(which cannot be seen by humans and is used in things like night vision), so she likes finding secrets, but cannot keep them. Silicon is used in computer chips, transistors, and other such things, so she's good with technology and is a computer geek.

I hate to break it to you, but if the motivation for the metals having gray hair was that they were metals, then silicon actually SHOULD have gray hair too. It may be a semimetal, but you wouldn't know from the looks of it. It LOOKS just like a metal.

We also can't forget silicon based life forms. No, not computers or AI. Silicon ability to bond with others could allow life to natural evolve. Although they would probably look like roxks

That is prevalent in sci-fi but no grounds in reality. Carbon and silicon are similar in some ways but very, very different in the way they bond in others. Compare the difference between silicon dioxide and carbon dioxide. And silicon, its ONLY crystal structure is the same one carbon has as diamond - but in that state, it looks like a metal and it conducts electricity, whereas pure diamond is transparent and is perhaps the best known electrical insulator. Just about every carbon compound, when you replace it with silicon, if that compound exists at all, the properties are completely unrecognizably different. As if CO2 having a sublimation point 100 degrees below 0 and SiO2 melting at 1500 degrees wasn't enough of a difference to show the point.
