11Overview33The Detective is the player-created protagonist of Silver Palace. Players choose between a male or female version. The female Detective's title is "The Raven's Claws"; the male Detective's is "The Raven's Beak." Both epithets come from official character title pages, which present the pair as a sibling duo at S.T.A.T.S.: The Raven's Claws is the elder sister and The Raven's Beak the younger brother.55The two protagonists have names. Official material calls them Huginn and Muninn: Muninn is the elder sister, Huginn the younger brother, and the two had been working cases together as partners before the story starts. That lines Muninn up with The Raven's Claws and Huginn with The Raven's Beak.78DetailValueProtagonist namesHuginn and MuninnSibling rolesMuninn is the elder sister; Huginn is the younger brotherEpithetsThe Raven's Claws (female Detective); The Raven's Beak (male Detective)Opening choiceThe player picks one sibling; the other dies at the story's openingStory branchingThe main story does not split into separate routesRarity, class, element5-star, Hero, GravitasAffiliationS.T.A.T.S.Official quote"Let's cut to the chase. Can't have the witness dying before the testimony is taken."910Appearance1011The Detective has light lavender hair and denim blue irises with bright red pupils. Their expression is described as calculated and alert.1213The female Detective wears a black hat with a white ribbon, a white shirt under a black leather vest, a white necklace, black shorts over dark leggings, and mismatched gloves: white on the left hand, black on the right. The male version wears the same upper outfit but with black pants instead of shorts.1415Combat Abilities1617The Detective is a 5-star character with the Gravitas element and the Hero attribute. Their weapons include a gun, a silver sword, and a silvery cane. In combat, they switch between ranged and melee stances.1819Their abilities include gravity manipulation for crowd control, time dilation effects, conjuring silver creations, and a scanning ability that provides both investigation utility and combat advantages by revealing enemy weak points.2021Backstory2223The Detective left Silvernia three years before the game begins, after an airship crash linked to the Queen's assassination, the event both official character title pages give as the reason the Detective disappeared. They return during the third year of Queen Feliana's reign to investigate the death of their sibling, described in official materials as investigating "the origin of that fatal shot." The Detective operates within a fragile justice system complicated by opaque noble politics.2526Their personality is described as rational, reliable, clear-minded, and efficient. The official character profile carries the in-game line: "Let's cut to the chase. Can't have the witness dying before the testimony is taken."2728The official world overview frames the return as a piece of city news rather than as a private matter. Under the headline that S.T.A.T.S. is reopening its doors, it asks whether the detective who survived the airship incident and has now returned to Silvernia is an outlaw or a saviour. Both words are also class names in the game's own roster vocabulary, so the line does double duty: it establishes that the Detective's reputation in the city is genuinely contested, and it plants the question the first chapter is built around.2930Companion3132Alf, MISS Maid No. 49, is the Detective's assistant. Despite her poor housekeeping skills and lack of common sense, she proves dependable in combat situations. Ashley joins the office separately, hired in the first act after an interview. She asks for no wage and instead asks the Detective to take on a case of her own.3334Dialogue in the same act places an earlier assistant aboard the airship destroyed at the story's opening.3536Male Protagonist3738During the first beta (the "Identity Test"), only the female version of the Detective was playable. The Dichotomy beta (Round 2) introduced the male protagonist as a playable character. The male lead drew attention at the game's initial reveal, and his addition was part of the second beta's expansion, which also brought new characters and expanded story content. Specific kit and story differences between the two versions have not been detailed publicly. A July 2026 gameplay showcase centered on the female Detective's investigative work and teased how the two protagonists' separate storylines connect.3940The July 2026 gameplay showcase was titled "The Raven and the Rose." The Raven refers to the Detective, whose title-page epithets are The Raven's Claws for the female version and The Raven's Beak for the male version. The Rose refers to the dancer Red Rose, who narrates the preview.4142Choosing a Protagonist4344The Dichotomy Beta introduced a male Detective alongside the existing female one, making the protagonist a player choice for the first time. The test's name points at that split. Official material presents the two as distinct people rather than two presentations of one character: each title page carries its own epithet, its own quote and its own sibling role, an elder sister and a younger brother who worked as a detective duo. The surrounding cast, cases and city are shared between them.4546Choosing a protagonist is itself part of the story rather than a presentation setting. Huginn and Muninn were partners on the same cases before the game begins, and the sibling the player does not pick is killed at the very start. The survivor begins the investigation already carrying that loss, which is what turns the search for the truth into a personal one.4748The names are confirmed in the game's Japanese material as フギン and ムニン. Spelled out in English they follow the usual romanisation of the Norse raven pair Huginn and Muninn, the same imagery the Raven's Claws and Raven's Beak epithets draw on. No official English-language spelling has been published yet.4950Neither version had been shown as an option in the first closed beta or in the game's original reveal, where the Detective was presented as a single female protagonist. The choice does not fork the main story: the central case and the story built around it are the same whichever sibling is played, and the differences sit in specific scenes, staging and lines written to suit each protagonist. Romance options and case outcomes have not been addressed.
