## Character Story

This character has specific story events that are revealed by unlocking their level attributes using Decryption Keys.

### Level 10

Kirito: Right back at you Asuna.
Sinon: Whew. Those were some pretty tough mobs!
Asuna: Sure was. We couldn't have beat them without your shooting!
Kirito: Yeah, our melee and magic attacks wouldn't have dealt enough damage.
Kirito: Not to mention the nasty combos they unleashed as soon as we got close...
Kirito: You definitely get the MVP award for today's battle, Sinon.
Sinon: Oh, stop, we all made contributions this time around.
Asuna: This seems like a good stopping point. Shall we log off and continue this tomorrow?
Kirito: Yeah, that works for me.
Sinon: Actually, about that...
Sinon: I'm scheduled to work tomorrow. I don't think I'll get a chance to log on.
Asuna: Oh, okay.
Kirito: You're really getting involved, aren't you?
Sinon: Pfft, you say that as if I like my job.
Kirito: Er, okay, sorry to assume. Are you saving up for something?
Sinon: I, uh...
Kirito: Hm?
Sinon: S-So what if I am! Don't go prying into my business, okay?!
Kirito: Yeow!
Asuna: Hahaha! She's not going to tell you EVERYTHING just because we're friends, Kirito.
Asuna: Let's respect her privacy.
Kirito: Yeah, got it...

### Level 30

Liz: Oh! Yeah, sure thing.
Liz: It's only been a few days since we started OS. We've gotta keep an eye on our play time!
Liz: And we want to play ALO again, don't we?
Asuna: Yeah... And I feel like we'll end up playing OS a lot more at this rate.
Silica: She's right. We've all been pretty addicted to OS lately.
Liz: Of course we have. It's a shiny new game!
Silica: I know. I was just saying we have to be careful.
Silica: It's not as though ALO is boring now. Besides, I can only visit Pina in ALO!
Asuna: Hehe, that's right. It'd be nice to be able to balance both.
Liz: Alright then, see you later in ALO, Asuna!
Asuna: Okay!
Asuna: Hm?
Sinon: ...
Asuna: Is that Sinonon? What's she doing here?
Asuna: Has she started playing OS too?
Asuna: When Liz and the others asked her if she was going to try it out,
Asuna: She said she was sticking to VR.
Asuna: So why would she start playing OS without telling us?
Asuna: Maybe I shouldn't bring it up.
Asuna: No. I can't sit here and worry about it.
Asuna: I'll just say hello.

### Level 50

Sinon: Huh?!
Sinon: Oh, hi Asuna...
Asuna: It IS you! I just happened to see you.
Asuna: So you've started playing OS too?
Sinon: Yeah, just today...
Asuna: Really? Why didn't you tell us?
Sinon: ...
Asuna: I'm sorry, that was rude. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to.
Asuna: I've turned around and done exactly what I told Kirito not to do.
Sinon: Actually... I've been preparing for this ever since you all said you were going to play together.
Asuna: You what...?
Sinon: I didn't want to cause any trouble at work, so I took a bunch of shifts early on.
Sinon: That way, I'd be able to take a bunch of time off once the game launched.
Asuna: So THAT'S why you were so busy...
Asuna: I'm sorry, Sinon. We all got the Augma for free as students at the Survivors' School.
Asuna: We should've been more considerate when we were making a huge deal out of it.
Sinon: I... I don't really mind. Besides, that's not why I didn't say anything.
Asuna: Oh no? Then why did you-?
Asuna: Sorry, there I go again.
Sinon: Hehe, it's okay.
Sinon: Unfortunately I've gotta go to work now. I'll talk to you later tonight in ALO, okay?
Asuna: You're still working, even after starting OS? Wow.
Asuna: Okay, I'll let you go. See you tonight!
Sinon: Yep. Bye!

### Level 70

Asuna: Unf!
Asuna: You think you can beat me?!
Enemy NPC: This one's nearly dead!
Asuna: What?! Where were the rest of them hiding?!
Enemy NPC: Bleargh!
Asuna: Huh?!
Sinon: I just made it.
Asuna: Sinonon! You came!
Sinon: Why'd you try to tackle this solo? I would've gone with you if you had waited...
Asuna: Heh. I figured I could handle it on my own, so I-
Sinon: Sorry, you're right. I was late. I shouldn't berate you.
Asuna: No! That's not what I meant at all!
Enemy NPC: Hey! Did you forget about us?! Quit yapping already!
Sinon: Let's kick the stuffing out of these guys shall we?
Asuna: You bet!
Sinon: Whew. That takes care of them.
Asuna: Sinonon, I can't help but wonder how you made it here so fast.
Sinon: Sorry?
Asuna: The town you spawned in was 30 minutes from here, wasn't it?
Asuna: When you said you'd be 30 minutes late, I thought for sure you'd actually be an hour late.
Sinon: Well, I, um...flew really fast.
Asuna: REALLY fast.
Sinon: \*sigh\* It's just...you know...
Asuna: What?
Sinon: There's another reason I've been working really hard.
Asuna: Besides wanting to play OS with everyone?
Asuna: And how could that be related to how fast you got here? I'm officially confused.
Sinon: Okay... I'll come clean. When I first heard about AR games, I thought it was scary.
Sinon: Augmented or not, it's still reality, you know?
Sinon: You're actually you, running around. I thought my own physical limitations would hold me back.
Asuna: Ah, I see... True, OS does rely a lot on your ability to get around.
Sinon: And I've liked to read books ever since I was young. I'm an introvert-a homebody.
Sinon: Why would I be any good at a game that suddenly demands I move around all the time?
Sinon: That's what was going through my head.
Asuna: Sinonon...

### Level 80

Asuna: So you could train up for OS?
Sinon: More or less. I figured the more I worked, the more fit I'd get.
Sinon: And I figured I'd not only be able to get the Augma, but nice running clothes and shoes too.
Asuna: Whoa! You're taking this workout thing pretty seriously, huh?
Asuna: You certainly didn't need to go that far with it...
Sinon: Easy for you to say, since you work out. Even Liz and the others are pretty fit for gamers.
Sinon: And then there's me-the bookworm. I didn't think I'd be able to keep up.
Asuna: Sinonon...
Asuna: I'm kind of glad to hear that.
Sinon: Come again?
Asuna: Whenever you thought about playing OS, you were also thinking about us.
Sinon: I mean, I didn't do ALL of this for you guys. I did it for myself, so I wouldn't be embarrassed!
Sinon: That's why I didn't tell anyone! It felt so selfish.
Asuna: Heh...
Sinon: You know you can't tell Kirito and the others ANY of what we just talked about, right?
Asuna: Yep. It'll be our secret.
Sinon: Secret...? Sure, whatever. Call it what you want.
Sinon: I'm going to get so buff and prove to everyone that I can keep up in OS either way.
Sinon: Will you wait for me?
Asuna: Of course, Sinon!

## Tips

Sinon doesn´t have a fast fire rate, however can hit flying targets and isn´t that much affected by AOE damage as she can attack from a distance. Also, uprgrading her 2nd skill slot will allow you to get higher combos without interuption, this will increase your damage in combat.
