Minor Characters: Syl's Family

BACK TO CHARACTERS INDEX

This is a list of all mentioned members of Syl's family from Arel's Tree on Halvalla, who she is separated from. It is known that, after becoming trapped in the Tower, Syl misses them - especially her mother - though the jury is out on how long it will be before they notice her absence.

See Syl.

"Mama"
Syl has repeatedly mentioned her mother, referred to by her as "Mama". Her relationship with her daughter is apparently good, given how much Syl stated she missed her.

Syl's mother seemed to be well aware of her daughter's short attention span and low academic prospects - as well as her relatively random memory - and in turn made Syl aware of those observations, to whatever end. On several occasions, Syl got in trouble with her mother due to hearing things she wasn't supposed to.

At some point, she told Syl to always act like there was a tomorrow, something that could be viewed as wise. Despite that, though, she also saw no problem with informing her daughter that Drow were great in bed, so the soundness of her advice is disputable. (Floor 1 - The Gateway)

She would observe at another time that her daughter had a tendency to 'go a bit nuts' with arrows during bow practise, but would use her remaining ammunition more wisely once she was running low, something she would convey back to Syl herself.

On one occassion, she had to free a terrified young Syl from being locked in a chest by her brothers - presumably her sons - as a 'fun little prank'.(Floor 3 - Greed and Glory)

"Brothers"
Syl has mentioned having multiple brothers. When she was young, they locked her in a chest as a 'fun little prank', which lasted until their mother let her out. This gave Syl a lasting case of claustrophobia, and she was unable to return to her room until the chest had been thrown away as a result of her brothers' actions.

After gaining a sizable chest from absorbing much of the Chocolate Woman's chocolate, Syl would anticipate the look on one of her brothers' faces upon him seeing she finally had an actual chest to speak of.

Her relationship with them outside of this is unknown. (Floor 3 - Greed and Glory)

"Grandma"
Syl has referred to "Grandma", presumably her grandmother, on at least one occasion. At one point, she told a supposedly funny story about how said grandmother learnt not to underestimate drow men, the story notably causing Ashley to blush. (Floor 2 - Mirror/Mirror)

"Grandfather"
Syl has referred to her grandfather on at least one occasion. He was supposedly unable to speak, and thus used a form of basic sign language - largely based around pointing at things - to communicate, later making Syl familiar enough with the concept to at least attempt to understand Peridot. (Floor 3 - Greed and Glory)

"Distant Ancestors"
Syl has referred a couple of times to parts of her personal ancestry, stating herself to be 1/16th drow - in defense of some previously made comments about drow - and 1/8th wood elf, as explanation for the origin of her pseudo-stealth abilities. These two facts imply the existence of both one drow and one wood elf ancestor, at minimum. (Floor 1 - The Gateway)
