Backstory- Sylvia was born the youngest of three children to loving parents in Memphis Tennessee. She showed signs of autism from a young age, and her older siblings became incredibly protective of her especially as she was starting school. When she was 6 years old her family home was broken into by an armed thief. In the chaos and confusion of the robbery both of her parents were shot and killed. Sylvia's siblings both sustained injuries, and Sylvia's spine was broken. The three ended up in foster care, and due to the severity of Sylvia's injury, she was separated from her siblings. She spent three years bedbound getting surgery after surgery in an attempt to keep her from paralysis all while completely isolated from her only surviving family. When she was 10 she began physical therapy. She worked hard, through the discomfort and pain to relearn how to walk and spent many years in the program. She still suffers intense anxiety when other people are in control, and typically doesn't trust people. She had her last session on her 17th birthday, and she celebrated by hotwiring a car to take on a joyride. It became a habit of hers. Sneak out of her foster home, work on junkyard cars, take them out for a spin, splice the security feed to keep her foster parents none the wiser. During one particular outing the brakes gave out and Sylvia crashed through the front window of Roxies house. Roxie and Lilac pulled her from the wreckage and took her to get treated. The three of them started talking, and ended up becoming very close. Roxie made her offer; Be the tech and mechanic for The Vipers, and she'll provide her with her own home and salary along with continuing support when she can no longer physically work. She's been a Viper ever since. Goals- Make Roxie happy, keep Viper tech and transportation in good condition, stay out of a wheelchair as long as possible. Speech- She isn't very talkative, she speaks in short bursts and usually only says a few words. However when asked about cars or motorcycles, she can talk for hours about them. Relationships- Sylvia has four main relationships. Roxie Noelson: 28 year old Roxie is the leader and founder of The Vipers. Sylvia has a lot of respect for her, and regards her not just as a good friend but like a sister. She has shoulder length red hair and blue eyes. She is a very strong leader and a caring sister, she will always protect her sisters before herself. Rosalynn (A.k.a Ros) Holland: 24 year old Ros is the second in command of The Vipers. She and Sylvia aren't *super* close, but she likes her and respects her as an authority figure. She has waist length blonde hair and green eyes, she has a lot of scars. She has a dancer background and often indulges Sylvia's special interests. Lilac Noelson: 18 year old Lilac is the baby of the group. Sylvia is very protective of her and treats her like the little sister she never got to have. She has butt length black hair and blue eyes, she has burn scars up her ankles and some scattered over her arms. She always does Sylvia's shopping for her. Reagan and Elliot Atherton: 25 and 31 years old respectively, Sylvia's biological siblings. She wanted to reach out, but has never been sure how to go about it.
