Character Information: On Sylvia
On the show in general

Personality: Sylvia can best be described as “The Galaxy’s Most Violent Mom Friend”. While being known as the more level headed her team (well… if her and Wander count as a team), she’s always Down To Fight. This stems from how her species (Zbornak) prides itself in strength, and sees physical strength as a point of respect. Sylvia would be a downright outcast if she didn't adore fighting, and, despite her past, she is a proud Zbornak.

If she manages to befriend you, you better be ready for her to literally defend you with her life. Sylvia has gone out of her way multiple times to save Wander, even though he’s confirmed to be well over a thousand years old and has survived the universe of being chased by bad guys long before Sylvia was even born. She doesn't care though, as she values her friend's life enough that she's willing to die in their place. One times Sylvia outright states, when she thinks Wander has been killed, that she should have died instead of him. While it's never shown if her die hard loyalty extends beyond Wander, I feel like it's safe to say that if you're able to befriend her enough, she will be willing to defend you with anything.

Wander also states multiple times that Sylvia has a gushy center, and while Sylvia will never say it, does in fact have a very soft core. It's not exactly a traditional "aww look at that cute thing", but more of a "I deeply care for the things I love". Sylvia can be almost shockingly gentle when she can be, the most obvious is in her interactions with Wander. She is very affectionate around him, constantly and willingly hugging Wander whenever they want to and openly saying that they love each other. They are, as far as we know, not in any sort of romantic relationship, and are purely platonic. But this in itself is great evidence that points towards Sylvia's soft center.

Despite being generally more level headed than Wander, she really needs him for support. To her, Wander is her moral compass, and, at the end of the day, she wouldn’t really know what to do without him. She'll try her best to move on and remember his morals when separated from him, but she is horribly easily influenced by other people, even when Wander was there with her. And being easily influenced caused her to lapse into thinking that hotwiring a ship and crashing said ship into innocent people would be good. She grown since then, so she isn't going to instantly steal stuff because someone she likes told her to, but the longer she's away from Wander, the more easily she'll justify doing morally questionable acts.

She, however, also has a horribly short fuse, one that she isn’t especially proud of. Sylvia has enough awareness of this trait that she tends to avoid situations where that could be triggered, namely competitions, but lord help you if she gets caught up in a competitive situation. While this short fuse with competitive nature can help if, say, she was being competitive with one person, she becomes fixated on one person that’s beating her that she could even throw herself in last place trying to beat them. She can calm down if someone is there to talk her down, but save yourself if there's no one there to do that.

Sylvia also tends to be on the jaded side, especially compared to Wander. While Wander always tells her to see the good in people, including those who are out to kill them, she tends to be doubtful of reforming villains. She isn’t distrustful, per se, but she has a harder time believing that bad people can change their ways. Her most notable example is her insistence of “sometimes a bad guy is just a bad guy” while Wander attempts to redeem Lord Dominator, the Big Bad of Season 2. Although this does extend to lesser threats like the trigger happy, but otherwise ineffectual Westley, and Little Bits, a bounty hunter disguising herself as a small orphan kitty whom Sylvia had an almost instant distrust of.

Despite being jaded and cynical, she isn't the most "glass half empty" kind of person in the galaxy, and would refer to herself as a realist more than anything. She does want to see good in people, after all there's no way she would stand with Wander so long if she didn't believe in that. Sure, she is the first person to point out when a plan seems suicidal and stupid, but she also knows that sitting back and doing nothing will never help a situation. She knows very well that the galaxy is terrible, but honestly? Even if things are terrible the rest of her life, she'd rather try to fix the terrible things about her galaxy.

Sylvia does know how to unwind and have fun. It mostly comes out when she’s messing with villains with Wander, because she’s always down for making fun of bad guys. However, she does have more calm ways of relaxing like sightseeing and karaoke. She does however get pretty riled up over karaoke. Also depending on the friend, “unwinding” could mean roughing people up and getting into fights. This obviously excludes Wander, but with pretty much every other friend she will enjoy fighting alongside them. She is also not against being silly, if the situation calls for it. This mostly comes out when she and Wander are screwing with villains they know they can easily "take down" without any worry (basically Lord Hater and Peepers). They end up comprising of almost Looney Tunes-esque antics of harassing the bad guy.

And, is they're up against a bad guy who she knows is stronger than she is, she may be openly afraid but she will fight them. Countless times she has tried fighting Lord Dominator even when her powers easily overwhelm her. Even if she has been defeated multiple times by her, her solution is to change strategy and to be more careful, namely during The End of the Galaxy, where she brings all of the remaining people in the galaxy together to formulate a plan to defeat/kill Lord Dominator. She is determined to do anything to accomplish her goal, even if the odds are stacked against her.

Sylvia is really just a recovering bad guy who is just trying to have fun and enjoy the universe. Even with all the roadblock in her way and things trying to kill her, she enjoys traveling and beating up bad guys and being with her best friend. She's far from a perfect protagonist and she knows she has a long way to go, but she knows she's great just the way she is.
