Sylvie (Fullbuster) Redfox

**Sylviana (Fullbuster) Redfox** is a mage of the Fairy Tail guild and the daughter of Gray and Juvia Fullbuster. She is the wife of Laurie Redfox, whereas she took his name following their marriage. She is a deuteragonist in the fanfiction Fairy Tail: Next Generation.

## Appearance

Sylvie is a young woman with long black hair and pale skin. She has large blue eyes and a round face with soft pink lips.

Upon her first introduction, her hair was almost constantly soaked, looking as though it'd just been drenched in a rainstorm (as it often was). After meeting and befriending Marigold, she would often braid her hair back in a fishtail with a small daisy hairpin gifted to her by Marigold.

Of her peers, she probably puts in the most care to her appearance, often wearing makeup or heavily styled outfits, even when staying in. Considering her long history of agoraphobia, she often tries to stay productive by dressing up, even when she isn't leaving the house. This of course translated when she eventually started to leave the house more often.

Though Sylvie wears a large variety of outfits, her main outfit during Volume I is a blue set with a skirt and poncho. She wears a off-white shirt with blue cuffs and frills, with a blue poncho styled with a small ghost charm gifted from her mother. Her skin is a soft gray blue with a blue overlay that matches her poncho. It wraps around and opens in the front, held by a white ribbon tied at the waist. Below she wears a pair of light purple tights and dark blue ballet flats. Regarding jewelry, she wears silver rings and a pair of earrings styled after her father's necklace.

She has the tendency to wear winter clothes even during the summer, mostly because she doesn't appreciate most summer styles. During the Grand Magic Games, Sylvie wore a white poncho over her button up shirt (with a blue ribbon around the collar) and a pair of shorts with tights and maryjanes. Her excess number of layers is often excused by her unconscious stripping habbit, as the more she wears the less likely she is to end up naked in front of the guildhall.

Her style definitely takes inspiration from both victorian and japanese fashions, all and all going for a classy look.

## Personality

Sylvie has a rather eccentric personality, wherein she scolds Nashi over her unlady-like behavior, yet at the same time will unconsciously strip before fellow guild members as if she were just taking off her jacket. She's rather protective of her twin brother, and was initially closed towards others and had a very shy personality.  Due to heartbreak from Laurie's disappearance from Fairy Tail, rain began to follow Sylvie wherever she went, which lead to her staying within her home rather than every going to Fairy Tail, or even becoming a member.

This enclosure led to her overprotective personality towards Gideon since he was her only companion during her time alone. Which lead to a rivalry with Nashi, whom she fought for the attention of Gideon with.

Due to spending so little time outside her own, she became very depressed and lonely and would become terribly anxious when leaving the house. The fact that her emotions would change the weather also made her very self-conscious, actively working to conceal herself from the rest of the world.

After Marigold's arrival, she joined the guild officially and began to leave her house much more regularly. She soon began to show a much more manic side, behaving happy, sweet, overly confident, and wonderfully strange.

## History

While as a very young child Sylvie would play with the other children of Fairy Tail, upon discovering her Rain Woman abilities, she became quite reclusive. After the rain started, Sylvie became so depressed that the rain never stopped. She would spend almost all her time indoors.

Because of this, outside interactions were limited and Sylvie usually only corresponded with other members of the guild. From a young age, she began quite attached to Laurie, developing a crush on him early on. She also developed a dislike for Nashi as the years went by, but had an acquaintanceship with Liddan as they created a Secret Sewing Society where the two would meet up and do craft projects (sewing, knitting, etc).

Her condition worsened when Laurie left Magnolia after an argument with his father went too far. She became more isolated over time, eventually developing a kind of agoraphobia tied to her condition.

Sylvie once revealed that when she was 14, she only left the house three times out of the whole year. During her second visit to the guildhall, she had a panic attack and ended up crying uncontrollably in a closet. Gray had to carry her out in front of everyone, and following the incident, she didn't leave her room for three days. A few days after that, Liddan came over to work on their sewing, acting as though nothing had happened.

Eventually her conditioned improved to a degree, as she would still go to the guildhall every so often with her family, but never on her own.

Upon Laurie's return, he didn't visit Sylvie asper Gideon's demand, who had come to blame Laurie for Sylvie's terrible condition in the years prior.

## Synopsis

Sylvie is first mentioned in the second chapter of Volume I, where Gideon explains to Marigold that she's his twin sister, but stays home most of the time due to the fact that she's a rain woman, causing a cloud of rain to follow her wherever she goes. Liddan elaborates that she's actually quite well practice with her magic, despite being unable to control the rain, but Nashi disagrees, making it clear she isn't fond of her.

Sylvie makes her first appearance in Chapter 13: Sylvie, where her father returns from his job at the Love and Lucky, finding his house drenched in a rainstorm. He goes to talk with Sylvie in her bedroom, asking her to make it snow instead. She does, and he starts to pull the snowflakes in from the window, claiming he's looking for two identical ones. When Sylvie explains that no two snowflakes are alike, Gray denies it, saying that there are other snowflakes just like his, they're just hard to find.

Gray asks Sylvie to come down the guildhall, saying maybe she'll find her "snowflake". She agrees.

The next day, Sylvie goes to the guildhall, but is too nervous to go inside. Having caused a rainfall, Nashi suddenly bursts outside, starting a fight. It ends when Nashi steps into a puddle, that in turn grows into a water sphere, trapping her. Sylvie freezes the sphere then runs off, leaving Nashi frozen in the front of the guild.

Running away, she takes a wrong turn, and ends up on the path to Marigold's, bringing her rain with her. When she arrives at her house, she's surprised to find anyone there in the middle of the woods. Marigold, who was in the middle of gardening, remarks on the rain, saying "lovely rain we're having." Sylvie, so emotionally exhausted, breaks into tears at the idea that someone was genuinely thankful for her presence.

Marigold takes her inside, gives her tea and cookies, and comes to realize she's the Sylvie from the Fullbuster's she'd heard about. As Marigold runs through Sylvie's dilemma, she asks if people are mean to her because of the rain. Sylvie realizes that she's been so isolated, that she's the one causing her own sadness.

## Trivia

* Sylvie has a giant stuffed bear named "Blue", however, the bear is a soft peach color. She received the bear when she was five from Gray, at the time it was a few inches taller than her and she could barely lift it.
* During an Author Q&A, Sylvie was confirmed to have Bipolar disorder. This is most explored in the special chapter "The Honeymooners" which highlights the highs and lows of Sylvie and Laurie's marriage and Sylvie's condition.
* When she was younger, she and Liddan started a club called the "Secret Sewing Society", where the two would meet once a month to work on sewing, knitting, and other project. It was a secret mostly because Liddan was embarrassed by his sewing hobby, however everyone knew about it.
