Sylvia 'Syl' Ledston

[SarahSyna]

Name:Sylvia 'Syl' Yae Ledston

Age: 16

Sex: Female

Occupation: Student

Powers and Descriptions:
Perfect Ancestral Memory

Syl is able to remember, in perfect detail, everything that has ever happened to her throughout her entire life.

She is also able to access the memories of her family, provided she was descended from them and that they also had the same power as her, with the memories starting from the moment of awareness as well and ending at conception. This means that Syl has roughly 200 years of memories, a good few of them quite awkward.

Personality:

Syl first seems to be an outgoing, bubbly person, even a little ditzy at times. This isn’t entirely true. While she is certainly bright, Syl is more inclined toward introversion and the bubbly, extroversion is more of a cover than anything else. Anyone who is good at reading people can figure out that she’s faking.

Due to her power, Syl is able to remember some pretty horrific things as if she herself had witnessed (or in some cases, committed) them. Her ditziness is at least partially a defence, and a way of forming an identity of her own.

Syl fancies herself diplomatic, and she often is. However, when things get rough she has a tendency to get hysterical and freak out.

She is a complete hopeless romantic, and despite knowing how utterly awful they are, she usually has a stack of bodice rippers hidden under her bed, and she very obviously believes in the idea of true love. That doesn’t stop her flirting with damn near anyone she finds attractive though.

She has a particular fascination for Japanese culture and wishes to someday go to Japan to learn more about the other culture that she comes from.

Syl wants to be more than her power but she does embrace it and part of why she is at Solstice is to learn more about it, learn more in general and explore. Maybe even find Atlantis!

Appearance:
Syl is a slim, quite pretty young woman of mixed English and Japanese descent. She is fairly pale, has black hair that she usually pins up and one blue eye, one green.

She favours black and white clothing with blue or green accents, waistcoats and thigh-high stockings.

History:

Syl comes from a long line of scholars and academics (her mother being one of the few exceptions). She and was the result of a one night stand between her mother (Sylvia Sr.) and a co-worker. The two didn’t particularly like each other, so Syl was raised in England by her mother who she had inherited her power from, her father visiting on birthdays.

Due to her memories, Syl moved through the school system quickly. She left secondary school at the age of 14 and enrolled in Solstice shortly after, though she could have finished earlier. Attending school was really more of a formality and was done more for the socialisation aspect rather than actually learning anything new.

Syl spent most of her time in Solstice simply just reading and making superficial friends. When she goes get some friend, she hopes to explore the De Leon islands, as she’s heard rumours about Atlantis and she’d like to explore for herself. After all, a girl with a perfect memory could pick up on what many others would overlook, but going alone would just be silly.
