"don/t get in my way and i won/t have to sl/ice and di/ce ya"
Sylvee's been a warrior for her whole life; she first fought her way through her brutal cavern trials, and continued fighting to prove her worth and earn her keep in her jungle community, where strength was the only language everyone understood. For the most part, her blades were her only comfort and constant, always reliable and by her side right when she needed them. If nothing else- and there's almost never been anything else-, she's always had her own skills, abilities, and expertise to fall back on.
Sylvee loves being a little bit (or a lot) of a showoff for a crowd- and they love it too! Making combat look easy is one of her great skills, and boy, does she put on an entertaining show, skimpy outfits included! When she doesn't have to be fighting for her life or status, Sylvee loves fighting for show or using her blades to do cool things, like halve fruit tossed at her midair. Danger is her middle name- not that trolls really have those, but who's counting?- and she loves proving it at every opportunity.
Character
The Alternian jungle absolutely sucks- if you think sharpgrass fields are the worst of your problem, just wait until you meet the man-eating monstrosities that make up most of the understory of the rainforests. And that's just the plants, for starters; the animals are far, far worse, but not nearly as bad as the other people. Even when you think you're safe in a group, there's always infighting to establish a heirarchy, and if you're not dealing with that, then you're dealing with rival groups trying their damnedest to steal your resources by any means necessary. Sylvee was fed up with the whole song and dance, so one day she just picked a direction and walked until she couldn't see trees anymore. Freedom at last!
Adjusting to life outside of the forest was almost as hard as living within it. Though much of the actual danger was gone, percieved threats were hidden everywhere. Everything from scuttle-buggys to screencorders made her want to attack on sight, and it took quite a while before her hair-trigger kill reaction wasn't her go-to response anytime something mildly startled her. Still, Sylvee is a survivor, and she had pledged to survive this, too. So on she went through life, slowly opening up to people and settling into her new routine. Eventually, 'friends' came into the mix- a strange concept that was entirely foreign to the jungle, but also entirely welcome to Sylvee. Once she found her people, the pieces all fell into place, and the rest is history.
Abilities
JUNGLE JUICED UP: Sylvee may be a chronic prepper, but it's only a side effect of her being a survivalist and a jungle warrior. Living among the dense underbrush meant fighting every living thing in the vicinity for food, water, and even the right to be alive. It's also given her a unique skillset- not very many trolls are trained in tree climbing, vine-swinging, or disarming murderous plants. Because of her rough upbringing, Sylvee has learned to stay alive at all costs, no matter if it even means cutting off everyone you know. If nothing else, one can rest assured that Sylvee will most definitely return home perfectly fine at the end of the night.
DANCING DEMONESS: Sylvee's talent and passion for showmanship is noted by audiences far and wide. She's managed to worm her way into a fairly well known lowblood performing troupe, but has aspirations of hosting her own shows one day. Though she's a highly trained performance fighter, Sylvee still pulls no punches when fighting, even when her matches are just for exhibition; she says it's against her moral code to do so in the ring. Still, even if she's putting her all into a fight, she'll make sure to make it all look smooth and flawless. Though her moves may be flashy, they're throughly calculated and leave little room for opportunity. Most opponents, once they see they're up against her, let out a textbook groan before going to the game-master and seeing if they can reshuffle their matchup.
Notes
- Sylvee mostly wears such revealing clothing to show off the complete lack of scars on her body. Interestingly, that fact's due to a mutation.
- Whetstones are both necessary and prohibitively expensive, so Sylvee often has to improvise when sharpening her blades, like using unfired ceramics.
- Sylvee sews or upcycles all her own clothes, since she's not famous or rich enough to warrant having a stylist.
- Although only pictured with one scimitar in her reference, Sylvee keeps an entire arsenal of blades on her at all times.
- Sylvee wears the skimpy outfits for show, but she's found that she doesn't particularly need armor, so the 'performance' outfits stay on.
Relationships
Astare Sephir [ As Seen On TV ]
After seeing Astare rant about how terrible jungle living is on live TV, Sylvee felt the most vindicated she ever has in her life. She quickly got in touch with this mystery man over text, and the two hit it off, mostly bonding by shitting on their respective living situations. Hey, whatever works, works, right?
Jaxsen Lauwel [ Forester Furtive ]
Sylvee just can't understand why anyone would WANT to live in the Alternian forest. The whole place is designed to kill you, is that not a good enough deterrent for even the most sane people? She at least appreciates his work to keep others out of the woods; most people don't belong there.
