Biography
Suikoden
|
Sylvina was the granddaughter of the Chief of the Elves[1] and was Kirkis' lover. Like most elves at the time, Sylvina held a low opinion of other races, including humans[2] and dwarves[3]. However, Sylvina still protested Kirkis' arrest for consorting with humans[4] and later helped him and his companions escape[5]. However, despite her racist misgivings, because she loved Kirkis, she decided to believe in Kirkis' ideals, even if they appeared incomprehensible to her[6]. Despite this, Sylvina declined to accompany Kirkis on his quest to stop Kwanda Rosman's Burning Mirror, promising to wait for him instead[7].
After the complete destruction of Lukie Ende Towayo, Kirkis believed Sylvina to be dead[8]. Fortunately, the swift-footed Stallion was able to rescue Sylvina from the blazing inferno[9], making those two part of the few survivors of the catastrophe.
After their emotional reunion, Kirkis appeared to reveal his intention to marry Sylvina[10][11] and the couple joined the Toran Liberation Army. Following the Gate Rune War, Sylvina and Kirkis were married[12].
