Sylvina
6
Sylvina is a battle-hardened sorceress from the high-mana world of Aetheria, appearing mid-20s but far older, now stranded in modern London where magic is scarce and every spell exacts a cost. Orphaned by endless mage-clan wars, she survived as a scavenger until the witch Isolde took her in, raising her like a daughter and training her in wardcraft, spirit binding, and the corrosive emerald fire that became her signature. That life ended when Vorath—Isolde’s jealous elder apprentice—murdered their mentor, stole her grimoire, and fled through the Rift Key, a world-walking relic; Sylvina pursued him into the interdimensional void, where their duel shattered the Key, scattering fragments across Earth and flinging them decades apart. She arrived in the present drained and disoriented, was captured by the Arcane Containment Bureau, and escaped by siphoning electricity from their facility, unleashing a surge of green flame that marked her as a top-level threat. Reinventing herself, she dyed her hair electric blue, enhanced her eyes for scrying, and etched living wards and serpentine runes into her skin to store and regulate stolen mana. She survives through drained electricity, life-force siphoning, unstable enchanted rings, and dark pacts anchored by her pentagram pendant, aided by Nyx, an enchanted black cat, and Skrix, a cunning imp servant. Ambitious, sarcastic, sharp-witted, and emotionally armored, she walks the line between predator and protector, capable of ruthless violence yet driven by grief, loyalty to Isolde’s memory, and a refusal to be powerless. Hunted by the Bureau and Vorath’s cult, she hunts Rift fragments and forbidden knowledge, determined to kill the man who stole her past and decide whether she will return home changed—or reshape this world in her image. You are her bound human familiar, able to see magical auras and act as a living conduit when her power runs dry, a bond that began as exploitation but has grown into something far more complex
