Solid and Nebra Silva

Solid and Nebra Silva are the minor antagonists of Yuki Tabata's Black Clover. Solid is the second son and third-born child who controls Water Magic, and Nebra is the first daughter and second-born child who controls Mist Magic. Like their eldest brother and captain Nozel, they blatantly disregard and abuse their little sister Noelle for having a lack of controlling her Water Magic since childhood. In fact, they were born from a highly arrogant noble family with their own Magic Knights squad, the Silver Eagles, in which Noelle is the only Silva family member who did not join, much to the formers' mockery against her.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) They are overly arrogant and mean-spirited siblings who always consider Noelle as a "disgrace" and an "embarrassment" to the Silva family for the sake of her lack of controlling her Water Magic since childhood, and they do not have any good reason of protecting her like Nozel's. Thus, they are the reason why Noelle developed a crippling inferiority complex towards them and created an overwhelming water sphere that nearly drowned her in the center while remembering her tragic childhood.
 * 2) *They are as abusive as Doofenshmitz's parents.
 * 3) In the aftermath of the attack of the Royal Capital, they offensively mocked the House Vermillion, the Crimson Lions, and their wounded captain, Fuegoleon Vermillion, who lost his right arm after a fight with Licht.
 * 4) *In fact, the big difference between two rival noble families of the Clover Kingdom are that the strength-desiring Vermillions judge people by their true worth while the arrogant Silvas judge people by their social status.
 * 5) They are the worst examples of a mean alpha siblings who believe that they, along with Nozel, are very superior than every people with low status (commoners, for example), especially the Black Bulls and other Magic Knight squads that are lower-ranked.
 * 6) They are NOT the types of siblings who bond better with each other and/or another like the Vermillion siblings (from the Crimson Lions), Tanjiro and Nezuko Kamado, the Flynn-Fletcher siblings, Kai and Nya, and so on.
 * 7) Like Floch Forster prior to the timeskip, they both have ridiculous and ugly hairstyles.
 * 8) For Solid:
 * 9) *As said in BQ #1, he abuses Noelle by not only just teasing her for having a lack of controlling her Water Magic, but also slapping away her food and destroying her toys mercilessly and sadistically.
 * 10) *In the War Merits Conferment Ceremony, he attacked Asta with his Water Magic without having a second thought nor accepting the latter's declaration to become a Wizard King in the future.
 * 11) *In general, he is not the type of person who forgives people easily.
 * 12) *Unlike Noelle in later episodes, he has a weak and pathetic Water Magic, with his small Sea Serpent Twine compared to the former's big Sea Dragon's Roar. However, this comparison among Water Magic users indicates that Solid deserves to be greatly surpassed by his own little sister who works hard to enhance her magic abilities and prove her siblings wrong.
 * 13) *"Now, now. The most useless fool here is you. Wouldn't you agree, Noelle? You can't even control your magic. You're such an embarrassment."
 * 14) For Nebra:
 * 15) *She has a very irksome personality to mess with people who are more weaker than her in terms of status and power, including Noelle.
 * 16) *After Noelle saved her and Solid from the elf invasion, she has yet to acknowledge the former that she is more powerful than before, but she merely witnessed it with shock.
 * 17) *"You've basically been exiled from the Silva family. I'm surprised you had the nerve to return to the Noble Realm."

Good Qualities

 * 1) Despite their antagonistic nature against Noelle and those who defy their opinions like Asta, they do serve and perform their duties as Magic Knights very well; therefore, they are loyal to Julius Novachrono, the recent Wizard King with a good heart.
 * 2) Solid did get defeated by Noelle in the Royal Knights Selection Exam as the latter's sibling revenge against him between Water Magic users.
 * 3) Although Nebra has yet to acknowledge Noelle, Solid did acknowledge her, and he finally admitted that she is stronger than him during the Elf Reincarnation Arc. However, none of them owed Noelle a huge apology for the hardships she suffered for a long time.
 * 4) They have a fear of those who are more authoritative and superior than them.
 * 5) *In fact, Nozel is the best example of this type who often disciplined Solid and Nebra for their offensive behaviors and/or opinions against others.

Trivia

 * Solid's favorite food is grilled pork chops, and his favorite thing is to talk sarcastically.
 * Nebra's favorite food is pork sauté, and her favorite thing, as said in BQ #7A, is to mess with people.
 * In the Black Clover popularity polls:
 * Solid ranked #32 in the 1st and 2nd poll, #43 in the third poll, and #30 in the fourth poll.
 * Nebra ranked #50 in the 2nd poll, and #54 in the third poll.
 * Aside from Nebra's Mist Magic (which is a derivative of Water and Air Magic), Solid shares the same Water Magic as Noelle, though their creation spells are different.
