Sylvie is a original character from the artist Ray.Kbys and first appeared in the hentai game "Dorei to no Seikatsu -Teaching Feeling"

## Sylvie

### Age

Not stated; (see relevant sections), likely around or about 18 to 22.

## Character

Sylvie is a orphan who prior to the game was a slave. Her body is full of scars from abuse and torture of which she was subjected to for years. She has been proven to be 18 years of age, Design was made based of story and constant malnutrition. Given the game's release date of October 27, 2015, it is implied that Sylvie's birthday may be October 27, though obviously not in that year most likely. This should not be taken as her official birthday, rather, it is simply most likely the closest we will ever get to her official birthday, as there are no other possible dates for her DOB.

She is given to Protagonist at the beginning of the game, initially she expected to be subjected to torture but instead is cared for and loved.

* She is often shown insisting on learning and being better at various tasks in order to be of better use to the player.
* She is an orphan, having never known her parents.
* She enjoys eating pancakes and receiving headpats.
	+ In one particular incident in-game, if the player fails to give her pancakes, she will die. The player is given the option to give her either pancakes or a sandwiches, if the player picks the latter, she will die. Additionally, if the player eats or gives a meal to Sylvie that conflicts with the other, such that Sylvie and the player are not eating the same food, she will die.
		- In previous, earlier versions of the game, no matter what else the player did, by simply selecting sandwiches over pancakes, the player is locked in a bad ending where she dies, again, no matter what else they do, even if all good options are picked, she will die from eating sandwiches. In newer updates and copies of the game, the player is allowed to make this error, provided they do not make any further errors whatsoever, if they do, the sandwiches choice will result, indirectly, in Sylvie's death.
* At the beginning of the game, the player has to chose one of two routes to continue the game through their actions; since Sylvie is completely mentally destroyed, they are to be nice, or to return back to abuse. She can be tortured by the player again, if they so chose to, but in general the overwhelming majority of the relevant community appears to strongly favor the former option, wherein the player is extremely kind, and in turn largely - if not completely - overrides the idea of hers, that she must serve her new "master".
* She, depending on the player's exact actions, can take in alcohol on a romantic occasion, which she appears to be of age to drink.
* If the option to go out alone is taken, on high enough lust she will wait on the window by the front door for the entirety of the outing.
* Speculations were arising that she was about 10 years old, Myth has been disproven.
	+ The most compelling evidence against the idea that she is underage is a post, by artist Ray-K on the site Twitter, where he writes, translated from the original Japanese; "As the physical image, I drew them as if they were petite 14-16 year old's (in the main story), **and** healthy 19-22 year old's (after they grew up)", adding, in that same post, "*All the characters in this work over 18 years of age*.".
		- What this means is that Sylvie was intentionally *drawn to have the body of* a 14-16 y/o in game, based off her petite frame in-game, and that the author only briefly, in Tweet, *considered* drawing them at around 19-22, which is probably where their actual age lies, given the nature of her abuse, and other Twitter posts by the author, whose content is currently lost, but a summary of which is still available on the Teaching Feeling Fandom Wikia, in Spanish, all of which point to her body type being intentionally drawn as being that of a 14-16 y/o, stylistically, and for story-telling reasons, given her abuse, malnourishment and other factors, and that this is not representative of her actual age, especially since in-game, the protagonist is not concerned with her alcohol intake, which the age for in Japan is 20, and the fact that the author explicitly mentions the 19-22 y/o body plan consideration, paired with the "All characters are 18 or older" text, point to her age being somewhere between 18 and 22 at widest, and likely 20 to 22 at most reasonable.

### Appearance

She is a short, skinny female who seems to be a young or maybe late teen by physical appearance, though through malnutrition and abuse is almost certainly older than she appears, as she has prematurely greyed. She has large burn scars on her body from an incident with corrosive chemicals, most notably on the right side of her face and left arm. Though these scars are also on her torso and legs. She sports a fair grey hair with grey, light eyes, with perhaps a hint of light purple, alongside a white hairclip on the front side of her hair, right when viewing outside, and left when from her perspective.

#### Education

   Despite being a slave, she appears to have reasonable level of vocal communication, reading and writing abilities, enough so she is able to sort books, and work as a assistant to the protagonist who is a general practitioner helping with basic administration paper work during the events of the game.

In artwork and information provided by Ray.Kbys she eventually is able to work as a nurse.

2. ↑ A case in point, to further outline the nature of these misconceptions may be Natsuki from the visual novel Doki Doki Literature Club, who is oftentimes written as 17, 16 or even as young as 14, despite Dan Salvato, her author, explicitly stating that all in-game characters are at the age of 18, and that confusion regarding where her birthday could be is misplaced, as she could be turning 19 the year the game takes place, paired with malnourishment and physical abuse from her father, she has a very petite body, and her interests are in traditionally "innocent" or "childish" things like baking, manga or the color pink, despite none of those having the same connotation outside of this discussion, and to people seemingly convinced of her underage status. To conclude, Sylvie, like Natsuki from D.D.L.C., is an adult, and absolutely not a child no matter what physical appearance might suggest, as for mental age, she appears damaged but not with the mind of a child, and is therefore competent enough to qualify as mentally an adult. It is inconceivable that somehow she is still a child, as it violates all known evidence, save for a fixation and determination to call any petite or small character a child with zero justification, beyond mere suspicion and unhealthy skepticism, it also violates common sense, as if she were a child, none of the events in-game would make much, if any sense, as she was likely abused around the ages of 16-20, somewhere in that range, since it is implied to have been somewhat recent, were she 12-18, there would be little room for her to have been subjected to a prolonged torture, likely having lasted at least one year, and the video game in general would not be legal in either Japan or the west given the nature of its contents, were she a minor, case study; *Reipurei*, a game where actual abuse of underage girls is a plot point, which was assessed by the Japanese Ethics Organization of Computer Software, and banned in 2009 from sale and [re]production even in the country of origin. It should be noted that similar games, like Omega Labyrinth, were banned from certain countries simply because the author failed to clarify the ages of (potentially, though dubiously adult) characters, resulting in the U.K., for example, banning the game.
