I need help with the grammar of this sentence from a light novel:
短い黒髪に、高くも低くもない平均的な身長。
1. What is the purpose of に after 黒髪? Is it a conjunction particle?
2. Does the く after 高 and 低 make them adverbs? If so how does it affect the verb です (which I assume is the implied verb)
3. I don't understand the use of もない in the sentence
This に is a listing particle. See: Particle に to enumerate things?
高くも低くもない平均的な身長 is the same as 高くもなくて低くもない平均的な身長, or "an average stature which is neither big nor small". See: What is the correct grammar for "neither x nor y"? / How would you say "Something isn't X, but isn't Y as well."
The omitted verb after 身長 is indeed だ/です (or をしている), but it has little to do with the grammar above.
短い黒髪に、高くも低くもない平均的な身長(だ/をしている)。
[He/She] has short black hair, and an average stature that is neither big nor small.
[He/She] has short black hair, and is neither tall nor short.
