"You know, sometimes I just wish I was a normal human, without any cool abilities or Huntress career or anything that makes you unique or...wow, even I can't finish that with a straight face."Name: Sylvia Sterling
Age: 23
Human/Feren: Feren (
Chrysocyon brachyurus (Maned Wolf) type)
(The maned wolf is its own species, not technically a wolf or a fox. From South America, it can run very swifly with its long legs, and its vocalization is called a "roar-bark". Sylvia has retained the mane, the tall figure (it is the tallest of any canine), the large ears, and (most interestingly), the roar-bark, which she can do at will.)Nationality: Tarcan
Religion: Omnigaia Pact
Appearance: Because of Sylvia's Chrysocyon side, her most prominent feature is her long, slender legs, which are of the type and length usually reserved for generously-proportioned anime girls. Were it not covered in knee-length dresses that extend all the way to the top of her neck (like the one in her picture) nearly always, it would be more obvious that her body was no slouch either - well-proportioned and
very (almost too) slender.
Perhaps equally as noticeable as Sylvia's legs is her voluptuous silver hair, which is absurdly long. Were it let down and not in her usual extravagant ponytail, the hair would nearly touch the ground. Her face is soft and inviting, but the pointed chin hints at the sarcastic brain that lies underneath.
Sylvia's audible appearance, when not playing the violin or roar-barking, consists of a complex, velvety smooth contralto voice that rarely gets loud outside of combat.

Role: Reconnaissance/Long Range Support
Font: TiltSylvia's font is a limited form of gravity manipulation, primarily focused on personal gravity manipulation via floortilting. Sylvia can traverse any surface, no matter the direction, with ease, and is a multiplanal parkour/free-running expert.
Color: Silver
Weapon: Violono Della Guerra. Usually just referred to as "Della Guerra", the weapon's title literally means "violin of war." In combat, the weapon is a sniper rifle and a rapier with a five-foot blade, but out of combat the rifle turns into a beautiful silver violin and the rapier turns into the instrument's bow. The violin does not have a soundbox; instead, it appears much like an elaborate electric violin, with the soundbox being emulated by Resonant embedded in the body. The sniper rifle can fire any type of Resonant ammunition to cause various effects, and although bolt action can be fired very quickly by a skilled user in a non-sniping situation.

Personality: Usually reserved. Dignifyingly lighthearted, without ever sacrificing her mental focus and collectedness. Sarcastic and cynical, but usually not in a negative way. Acts in combat as if she was just having a casual chat - her state of mind doesn't change at all from eating lunch to parrying with a deadly foe, which is both unsettling for others and beneficial to her, as she never becomes tense or loses focus.
Background: Born and raised on the coast of the Tarcan Sea, Sylvia's childhood was filled with struggle...but not bad struggle. Her parents were both frequently gone to fight a war, so she had to learn to cope with Tarcanis' harsh living conditions on her own. But learn she did, and she was soon able to discern exactly how her geneology made her different from her human friends. She knew there were other ferens out there, but she never knew any, and not all humans she encountered were kind to her. However, she was welcomed and accepted in the local area where she lived, and was educated in academics, combat, and music. By the time she was recruited into Echo, she had become a warrior worthy of the Tarcan nation, and one ready to tackle any foe with her violin in hand.

Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
