**Events**

The Twins, Alixria and Alrdia, the wiliest of the old Najaran Quintet, saw their chance for prosperity alongside Cynelle. In the days of old Najar they had been shining jewels reduced to a dull glean by long centuries of toil, war, and occupation. Now, they too renounced Navillus and declared themselves free of the old ways.
Sylvia Trench

**Sylvia Trench** is a recurring love interest of James Bond. She appeared in the first two official James Bond films, Dr. No (1962) and From Russia with Love (1963) and was portrayed by Eunice Gayson.

## Film biography

### Dr. No

At a classy casino in London, James Bond plays Baccarat with a crowd of people. Sylvia sits across the table. It should be noted that Trench can be credited with giving the cinematic Bond his most iconic catchphrase; at the Chemin table, when Bond asks her name, she replies: *"Trench, Sylvia Trench"* and when she asks Bond his he replies in the now-familiar style, mimicking (perhaps playfully mocking) Trench's own cadence.

When he receives a message from M and excuses himself, she follows him. He gives her his card and invites her to lunch the next day. After meeting with M, Bond returns to his apartment. There, he finds Sylvia putting golf balls into a hat wearing only a button-up shirt of his. Although he must run to the airport, he spends a quick amount of time with her.

### From Russia With Love

Sylvia picnics with James Bond and notices the scar on his back, before he is paged by Miss Moneypenny, thus making Trench the only female character (save for Moneypenny and the Judi Dench version of M) to appear in more than one James Bond film.

## Behind the Scenes

* Originally, Trench was to be a recurring woman character in the films, with the running gag of Bond being called away just as things were becoming interesting, however the idea was scrapped from Goldfinger. Sylvia Trench was supposed to have appeared in the first six films, becoming the principal Bond Girl in her last one.
* Lois Maxwell was given the choice of both Sylvia Trench and Miss Moneypenny, and picked the latter (whom she would portray for 14 movies), considering that Trench's role, which included appearing in immodest dress, was too sexual. Eunice Gayson was invited by Terence Young as they worked together in Zarak and he stated that "You always bring me luck in my films."
Mr. Canavan

**Mr. Canavan** is a minor character in *Best Friends Whenever*. He appeared in Shake Your Booty.

### Cyd Ripley (friend/former student)

Cyd and Ms. Nesbit have a student-teacher relationship. Cyd takes an empty test away, calling it a 'study guide' when really it's cheating. Cyd leaves her an anonymous tip that 'someone' took the test, causing her to make an even harder test.
