Sylphina Ford Dustiness (ダスティネス・フォード・シルフィーナ) is Darkness' cousin.[1]
Appearance[]
She is described as the spitting image of a younger version of Darkness, having the latter's face, hair and eyes. However, unlike Darkness, Sylphina has a high-class aura.
Personality[]
While Sylphina is a bit shy and has poor health, she is actually a very curious and playful kid. Because of her noble upbringing, Sylphina is also mature for her age, as well as courteous, generous, principled and even exacting, albeit she is wide-eyed as well. Furthermore, since Darkness became a mother figure after her mom's death, Sylphina is very attached to the former, often calling her "Mama".[1]
History[]
Sylphina lost her mother to illness when she was still an infant, and so Darkness took up the role of a mother for her frail cousin. Years later as the Devil King's army began large scale mobilisations, Sylphina's father at Ignis' suggestion sent her to Axel for safety,[1] though during the trip Sylphina became infected by the Choleran Disease without anyone noticing.[2] Hearing about Kazuma's mansion and heading there for a visit, Sylphina surprised the party when she initially referred to Darkness as her mother. Megumin soon grew attached to Sylphina, and had played house with her while dragging Kazuma into it.[1]
Taken by Darkness to the orphanage on the next day so she could play with children her age,[3] the disease residing within Sylphina finally released toxins that rendered her and all other children unconscious. While the other children were treated with magic, Vanir concocted the formula for a complicated antidote needed for curing hosts like Sylphina, the final ingredient for which was the nails of a High-Ranked Demon.[4] As the ingredients were being gathered, under Aqua's Healing Magic Sylphina managed to regain consciousness as well as cling onto life, and was accordingly cured after the final ingredient got obtained from Zeeleschilt by Kazuma, Darkness, and Chris.[2] The party subsequently invited her on a picnic at the lake.[5]
As she regained her health, Sylphina went around thanking Wiz,[6] and later to other adventurers at the Guild, while she afterwards attended the school set up by the Dustinesses. Sylphina following a visit to Wiz's Shop also expressed interest in the cute appearance of Zeeleschilt.[7]
Abilities[]
Like her maternal family, Sylphina inherited the magical talent and resistance of her mother, even though she also inherited her physical weakness and poor health.[1]
Trivia[]
- Not just Sylphina and Darkness' fathers are siblings, as Darkness' mother is Sylphina's mother's older sister.[1]
