Character Basics
Appearance - It's a shame Sylvia's chosen to be so mean to everyone, because she's quite pretty and with a nicer attitude she could really go far. Sylvia isn't that tall, standing at 5'5, but that's not too short either. She makes sure that she stays a good weight, and is decently fit. She's not really that muscular, but she doesn't really want to be. She thinks those people who walk around with arms bulging with muscles just look stupid. Sylvia's skin is tanned and her complexion is clear- helped with quite a bit of makeup every morning.
Sylvia's hair is long and brown, with suttle blond highlights. She has sidebangs, and eyebrows plucked to perfection. Her eyes are clear and blue. She wears jeans and a t-shirt usually. Sylvia will almost never be seen wearing a skirt or a dress. But when her clothes are covered by her robes, it's hard to see her designer jeans or shirts. You can see her shoes, which are usually just running shoes.
Personality - Sylvia is the kind of girl who sits at the back at the class and never talks to anyone unless they talk to her. She's a good student, and the kind of kid who all adults love. But that doesn't mean she's a goody two-shoes all the time. All her friends know, and most of the kids at the school know, Sylvia's not the sweet little girl that the teachers thinks she is. Sylvia knows who can get her into real trouble, and avoids those people as much as possible. If she can't, she puts on her little act. Sylvia's amusement is almost always at the expense of someone else; she siezes every opportunity to humiliate or tease people she can, especially if the person she humiliates is scared of her. She's a bully and a coward, but that doesn't bother her much. She hangs out with other people like her, and that's where she gets her support. Sure, they all treat each other pretty badly sometimes, but at least it's all together. From Sylvia's point of view, she's not doing anything wrong. Is somebody else gets hurt, they should toughen up. The world is a hard place. If a little teasing makes them cry, their never gonna make it.
History - Sylvia was born and raised in London. Her father was a wizard, her mother wasn't. Her mother didn't know that her father was a wizard until Sylvia was four years old. Micheal Bay hadn't told his wife the truth because he was afraid she would leave him if she found out. Surprisingly enough, after eight years of loving marriage, when Micheal finally told Catherine, she left him. It wasn't a pretty scene. Catherine was screaming at him, he sat on the couch and stared sadly at the floor. Their four year old daughter was bawling, and their seven year old son watched silently from the doorway to his room. The reason Micheal had finally decided to tell Catherine was not just guilt, but also their son, James, had started showing signs of being a wizard. Sylvia never forgot the scene, but she was young enough when it happened not to be affected too badly. But James was old enough to feel the full blow. He was affected more than anyone realised until later.
When Sylvia was 13, James was 15. He was silent, and always seemed depressed. He was a bit weird, she always thought, but nobody could ever figure out why. Obviously they weren't working very hard to find out. Sylvia and James were both going to Hogwarts, and their father was working a muggle job- the best he could get. Their life was not going well. It hadn't been since their mother had left them. One day during the summer, when James was going into fifth year and Sylvia was going into the third, Sylvia and her father woke to find that James wasn't in the house. They thought that he had just gone out for the day, but after calling all his friends and finding that none of them had seen him, they started to worry. When he didn't come back after one day, two days, three days. They called the police. It took them a month to track him down. It turned out he had left to join the circus. It was not a proud moment for their family, but nothing and no one could make James come back. Their father was never a very determined man, and gave up easily. Sylvia never saw her brother again.
Hometown - London, England
Likes - Getting good marks, making fun of other people, learning a new hex, when someone talks to her in class (surprisingly enough).
Dislikes - Know-it-alls, anyone who upshows her, not being able to come up with some sort of comeback, when someone she likes disagrees with her or shoots down an idea.
Goals - To get good marks and impress her teachers, and to go another year without being caughtdoing anything wrong. She also would like to find herself a boyfriend who shares her views on things.
Dreams - As if she would ever tell anyone.
Family
Parents - Micheal Bay & Catherine Woods
Sibling(s) - One older brother- James
Pet(s) - Owl named Velvet

Sam had no idea how he had gotten past the guards, or the castle walls. Security was tight in Orihai these days, and they didn't let just anyone waltz in. Maybe that was why they hadn't caught him. No one expected anyone to have snuck in, so everyone who was in was obviously allowed to be in. Grinning to himself in contentment and relief at not being arrested, Sam made a quick decision to not set out to steal things. He would mess about with the servants, maybe even find the princess. He had heard she was looking for a husband, and was interested in seeing if there was a chance that the Thief King could weasel himself into the position of Orihai King as well. Of course he would not marry her for any reason. He was curious to see how easy it would be. As he walked casually down the hall, he could his reflection in a mirror. Grinning, he straightened up, grabbed a comb that someone had left on the table below the mirror and fixed up his hair. When he put down the comb he was quite changed; he looked quite like a noble- except his clothes were all wrong. He looked around, not really sure why he was doing this, and ducked into a room. He found exactly what he was looking for: a wardrobe.
Five minutes later, dressed in extravagant noble's clothing, Sam was walking down the castle halls again. Even those who knew he was the thief king would not have recognized him. He glanced side to side into every room, looking through every door he could, quite determined to find the princess now. He still didn't understand why though. After reaching the back side of the castle, he decided she must be on the second floor. But just as he turned to climb the stairs, a door was swung open and he caught a glimpse of a girl out in the courtyard, sitting in a gazebo. Even if she wasn't the princess, he was getting tired of searching and any girl would do now. He looked at the man who had burst in. He was a noble, clearly. Sam was surprised when the other man nodded at him, but then remembered his 'disguise'. Sam smiled slightly and nodded back, then passed by him into the grounds. Sam could feel the man's eyes on the back of his head (he had developed a sort of sense for that kind of thing) and turned so that the man thought he had left. When Sam saw the other guy left, he moved back on track.
Putting on his best and most charming smile, Sam approached the gazebo. The girl looked kind of stressed. As she became clearer, he saw her rubbing her temples and then lean back in her chair with her eyes closed. Sam smiled delicately to himself and moved even closer. He wondered if it would be a bad idea to sneak up on her. When he thought of it, yes. He didn't want her screaming and alerting all the guards in the palace of his presence. Not that they'd recognize him, he was just paranoid. He leaned against the entrance of the gazebo calmly and cleared his throat slightly to get her attention. He hoped she wasn't the jumpy type. Those people had a tendency to bug him. A lot.
