Sydney Elise Danvers . "You can tell me all your thoughts, about the stars that fill polluted skies; And show me where you run to, when no one's left to take your side." mostly known as Syd twenty-three years of age born in Atlanta, GA on February 16 of 1986 currently living in Atlanta, GA Occupation: Architect Class: Upper middle class Reincarnation: Yvaine from Neil Gaiman’s Stardust Link to source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yvaine_(St Abilities: Sydney glitters in the darkness, although this depends on the extremity of her emotion, and it only manifests when she’s either happy or scared. It is only very apparent when it is pitch black, and absolutely unnoticeable when the surroundings are bright or if there is some other light source nearby. Personal History: Ever since she was little, Sydney had been exposed to designs, blueprints and all things of similar sort. Her father is a civil engineer, employed in a well-established engineering and architectural firm, while her mother is an interior designer who also used to work in a design firm but decided to start freelancing after getting married. She had a brother when she was almost three years old, and although they get along well (as well as brothers and sisters do), they aren’t what you would call incredibly close. Sydney loved both of her parents equally, but Sydney had closer bond with her father; probably because she liked how he had a stable personality as opposed to her mother who sometimes had an inclination to pick them up from school the moment the bell rang on a Friday and announce that the family is going on a weekend trip to wherever, your own plans be damned. There really isn’t anything worth noting about her childhood; it was your normal run-of-the-mill kind. Every summer before sixth grade she had gone to all sorts of classes – ballet, swimming, painting, piano, but nothing really stuck, save for swimming. She was a part of her school’s swimming team until her freshman year in high school, when she felt she needed to concentrate on her academics more, to get into a good university. Sydney had been set on being an architect, but when she started dating Matt Kane during her 8th grade and all those usual teenage romance fantasies started blooming, the idea of becoming a PR agent for professional football player Matt became appealing. But then trouble in the family started brewing -- her father was climbing up the career ladder but was also spending less time with the family, and then the arguments started. It grew more often until an intense fight one night ended with her father storming out of the house and while away, her mother took off to New York with her and her brother in tow. They even moved to California because her mother wanted to put as much distance as she can from her father. So even though she initially wanted to make it work with Matt, being on opposite sides of the country was just too much and unrealistic in her practical mind. Sydney initially distracted herself with studying fervently, which earned her grades good enough for Ivy League schools. Her mother ‘secretly’ moved the three of them back to New York after Sydney’s graduation from high school. She went back to her original plan and with her good grades got into Columbia, taking a degree in architecture. Some time around her stay in college, her mother and father had somehow resumed communication and had recently reconciled and wed a second time, which is why Sydney is back in Atlanta, almost a full year after getting a degree and fresh from traveling around Europe (to learn more about architectural design is what she tells people, but really, she just wanted a break). She’s currently newly hired at the same firm her father works at. Personality: When she was younger before her parents falling out and getting divorced, Sydney was known as one, if not the, sweetest girl you’ll ever meet. She was sensitive and gentle, and gave people the initial impression that she was naïve. It was quite the contrary, however, because Syd is logical and intelligent, and had consistently good marks in school. She had a sensible practicality in her, and had a dry humor that she would only unleash on those she felt comfortable with. However, after her parents’ divorce and moving to New York to California to New York and now back to Georgia, Sydney is now rather a different person. On first meeting, there are now very little traces of the gentle, sweet girl that she was before she moved out. She is more assertive (although never overbearing) and more confident and comfortable exchanging witty barbs with other people. Before, she was thought of as rather shy, but the new and improved Sydney expresses herself more now with assurance, albeit still with moderation. But really, that sweet and sensitive girl is still there, underneath all that acquired layer of protective wall she had built around herself. Around and for those she cares for like family and friends, Sydney is someone who is loyal and faithful, and is willing to do everything they can for them. Sydney is as sociable as the next person, but she is one who treasures her ‘alone time’ and might suddenly disappear from most people’s radar for a few hours (a good book in a shaded spot in the park) to a day or two (sitting in front of the telly watching good movies or a marathon of a good TV show) to relax and recharge herself. Physical Description: Sydney is rather tall, standing at five feet ten inches, and she wishes she was a few inches shorter, just so she wasn’t towering most people. She has a slight-to-medium built, at around a hundred eighteen to twenty pounds. Sydney is physically intuitive, but she did not really do sports enough to make her look incredibly fit. Her only physically activity lately was mostly walking and morning jogs. Sydney has brown eyes and originally light brown hair, but she usually keeps it dyed blonde that most people cannot even remember seeing her as a brunette. She keeps her hair curly and long, almost always halfway past her back. She dresses smartly and sensibly, mostly in skirts and dresses, but that’s not to say she never goes out in jeans or slacks.
