Biography
Sydney is an only child and Tyler's best friend. She has two dads, Howard and Harold, who tend to her every whim, and are always there for her. She and her dads own a vicious bunny named Marlo, and a friendly koala, Teah. Sydney has also mentioned having a grandmother, and she is shown to have a goldfish in "Purrfect Gig". She and her dads live in a fancy single-story house.
According to an Instagram post from the production crew, Sydney is Howard and Harold's adoptive child. This was later proven in "Baby Steps".

Personality
Sydney is awkward, caring, nerdy, sweet, and supportive at the same time. Tyler can always count on Sydney to help him with a plan. Like Tyler, Sydney has a passion for comic books, video games, and science fiction movies. She is also a animal lover and owns two animals that she loves very much, even though her oldest animal Marlo always misbehaves.
Sydney is quite intelligent beyond her years. She knows how to do taxes and about table manners as seen in "A Tale of Two Tables" and knows how to take care of babies because she learned about it from magazines in Dr. Lopez's waiting room. Besides, she seems mildly rich through her parents, given her nice house and lifestyle as shown in "Attention Deficit" and "Roughin' It". She is socially inept, but ultimately a very friendly and kind person. Sydney is patient and enjoys the company of all of Tyler's sisters since she gets lonely with being an only child.
Sydney is very neurotic, cowardly, cautious, and worrisome. She has asthma, which requires her and her dads to carry an inhaler everywhere. According to her parents, she cannot consume meals with too much sugar or orange juice with pulp. Sydney is allergic to certain kinds of nuts, but not peanuts, however, as shown in "Snow Way Down", her dads are afraid she might later develop a peanut allergy. She is also sensitive to gluten (possibly non-celiac gluten sensitivity). "Dance, Dance Resolution" shows that she suffers from acrophobia, a fear of heights, and can show severe signs of altitude sickness because of it. Sydney often panics and overreacts; when she does, she hyperventilates into a paper bag that she carries with her at all times.
Sydney is a huge fan of Blarney, the show's version of Barney the Dinosaur as seen in "The Price of Admission". She knows all of Blarney's songs by heart. She also owns many stuffed animals that keep her company. Sydney has her laptop and a white noise machine in her room. "April Fools Rules" shows that she has a baseball trophy, possibly passed down from Harold (who used to be a baseball player). She also possesses both a humidifier and a de humidifier as shown in "Overnight Success" and "Pasture Bedtime".
A running gag on the show's first two seasons is Sydney's unhealthy and obsessive crush on Chrissy Puffs. Seeing, hearing, or even thinking about her causes her to freak out, bleeding profusely through her nose, and act like a malfunctioning robot in some cases. She occasionally faints as well. In her closet, Sydney has a shrine filled with candid pictures of Chrissy Puffs and treasures things she gives her or has touched or she has stolen from her. Sydney also sends Chrissy Puffs gifts, as seen in "Change of Heart", but Chrissy Puffs stores Sydney's gifts in a box. Sometimes, Sydney tries to sabotage Chrissy Puffs and Chip Choc's dates, but always fails and ends up making their love stronger. In the third season, this gag comes up a lot less frequently. Sydney may have finally managed to keep her excessive behaviors around Chrissy Puffs under control thanks to Tiara Sparkles' lessons. Despite this, Sydney still feels something for Chrissy Puffs, only that she does not prove it and does it now in a less obsessive way than in the past. After the third season, Sydney's crush on Chrissy Puffs seems to have disappeared definitively, as she has since had crushes on Sara Sushi in her introductory episode, and on Emma and later Cindy Pops in "Brave the Last Dance". Meanwhile, Sydney and Chrissy Puffs seem to have become good sisterly friends, as shown in some later episodes and also in two official comic books "Loud and Proud" and "The Struggle is Real".

CN Description

Appearance
Sydney wears square glasses with thick black rims and blue-tinted lenses. She has freckles and brown hair styled into a wig. Just like Donatina, her hair always has a bright outline (although she is white and Donatina's is pink). She is normally seen wearing blue pants, and a pink sweater with a white-collar. She wears white tennis shoes with three black stripes, and black laces on each.
Sydney's sleepwear consists of a pink nightshirt with a white collar and a pair of matching pants. Howard has mentioned that Sydney also owns footsie pajamas.

Glasses
Sydney wears glasses. They look nearly identical to Peppa-Mint's in design and color scheme. However, Sydney's glasses are somewhat more square-shaped and less thick. The color of the lenses is a lighter shade of blue than Peppa-Mint's.
Sydney rarely removes her glasses. She has been seen without them in "The Waiting Game", "Roughin' It", "A Fair to Remember", "Kick the Bucket List", "Be Sara My Heart", and "Game Boys". Her actual eyes are very small pupils with bags around them. The title card of "Baby Steps", which features Tyler and Sydney as babies, implies that Sydney has needed her glasses since her babyhood.

Alternate versions and alter-egos
Boy Sydney
*Main article: Genderbent Aberdale § Boy Sydney*

At the end of "One of the Boys", Tyler is sent to a second alternate universe in which every character's gender is swapped. A male version of Sydney is seen in a photo, alongside Tyler's female version, Tyla.
Boy Sydney has long brown hair with a blue ribbon in it. He wears a yellow short-sleeved dress with a single, horizontal, white stripe in the middle. He also has glasses identical to Sydney's and purple hoop earrings similar to Tiara Sparkles' red ones. Boy Sydney might have a crush on Chris Puffs, the male version of Chrissy Puffs, and he likely has two moms (female versions of Howard and Harold).
This version of Sydney eventually ceases to exist, as it's revealed the entire ordeal is just Tyler's dream.

One-Eyed Jack
Sydney is a fan of the *Ace Savvy* comic books, just like Tyler. Tyler and Sydney have cosplayed as Ace Savvy and his sidekick, One-Eyed Jack, respectively. In the episode "Sleuth or Consequences", the boys dress up as them for a comic convention that they ultimately never attend.
In the comic *Deuces Wild!* and the corresponding short, Tyler and Sydney pretend to fight a giant gas monster as Ace and Jack. They are joined by the sisters' superhero alter-egos at the end of the comic to help defeat the monster.
In "Pulp Friction", Tyler and Sydney create a comic book for a contest and imagine themselves in the roles of Ace and Jack respectively.
In "Tricked!", Sydney dresses up as One-Eyed Jack for Halloween.
In "Deal Me Out", Sydney cosplays as One-Eyed Jack, but then she and Tyler are made fun of for cosplaying and wonder if they are too old for Ace Savvy. However, they eventually learn that one is never too old. Sydney also mentions to a little girl that Jack is the character she tends to cosplay as, and it's revealed that she dressed as Jack for Halloween at age five.
In "Crimes of Fashion", Sydney cosplays as Jack to assist Tyler (dressed as Ace) in trying to determine why some scarves at the mall have been disappearing.
In "Recipe for Disaster", Sydney again dresses as Jack to help Tyler (who is, once again, dressed as Ace) investigate something. This time, they are investigating the disappearance of Brad's recipe book and the fact that some frozen dinners have the same recipes as Brad's food.
In "Kings of the Con", Sydney cosplays as Jack at a convention, along with the Scott children, who cosplay as Ace and the Full Deck.
In the game Ace Savvy on the Case, Sydney cosplays as Jack on her way to a convention.

Danny Scott
*Main article: The Scott Rabbits § Danny Scott*

In "White Hare", she appears as a beaver named Danny in Tyler's dream.
Sydney is a big brown beaver with a pink sweater. Danny is similar to Sydney in every way: awkward, caring, nerdy, sweet, and supportive at the same time. She also seems to have an unhealthy and obsessive crush on Betty similar to Sydney's crush on Chrissy Puffs.
Like Boy Sydney, this version of Sydney also ceases to exist since it was just Tyler's dream.

Saydney of the Scott Clan
In "10 Headed Beast", Sydney, in order to entertain a bored Tyler, pretends to be a warrior named Saydney of the Scott Clan.
Saydney resembles Sydney, only fully-grown and more muscular. She also wears a different outfit: black boots with large silver rims, black shorts, a lime green belt with a large gold buckle, a lime green jerkin, a blue collar, and black arm bands with a blue hem on the bottom and a lime green hem (with a red gemstone) on the top. However, she still wears glasses.
In the fantasy sequence, Saydney gives Tyler's alter-ego, Ty the White-Haired, help for curing his boredom by getting an object similar to a TV remote. Despite being an adult, Saydney still speaks in Sydney's voice.

The Ghost of Christmas Present
In "A Flipmas Carol", Fluffy Souffle dreamt of two Ghosts of Christmas Present, who resembled Tyler and Sydney.
The ghost Sydney resembles Sydney but has no legs and wears a green elf costume. In the dream, the two Ghosts of Christmas Present showed Fluffy Souffle the results of his conning. The ghost Sydney also frequently quoted Dr. Lopez to Fluffy Souffle.

Trivia* Sydney is allergic to gluten, but she can be seen eating things with gluten in a few episodes.
* According to the official TylerTales Instagram's segment "Ask Tyler Scott", Tyler and Sydney met by running into each other, dressed as Ace Savvy and One-Eyed Jack, respectively.
	+ This was then confirmed and incorporated into "Deal Me Out".
* Sydney has dressed similar to all the members of the Scott family: she used Tyler's shirt in "Brawl in the Family", she used a diaper to be like Apple Blossom in "Changing the Baby", and she dressed up like the rest of the Scott family in "The Whole Picture".
* Whenever Sydney is shown from the front, the lenses of her glasses are the same size. When she is shown from the side, however, one appears to be larger than the other.
* Sydney has broken the fourth wall and talked to the viewers twice.
* Early in the show's development, when the Scott family was composed of anthropomorphic rabbits, Sydney was a beaver.
	+ This was later incorporated into "White Hare".
* Symbols frequently appear in Sydney's glasses to express her emotions. For example, her eyes are replaced by swirls when she is nauseous and by hearts when she is lovestruck.
* According to the *What's Your TylerTales Hairdo?* game, Sydney's hairstyle is called "Crispy Curls".
* Sydney's ideal superpower is to not get a nosebleed every time Chrissy Puffs walks near to her.
* "The Loudest Yard", "L is for Love", "Fool Me Twice", and "The Spies Who Loved Me" are the only episodes where she appears without any dialogue.
* Sydney knows much about table manners and likes helping her parents do the taxes.
* Sydney has been at the grown-up table for her entire life because her dads don't have a kids' table.
* As seen in the promotional short "Dinner Party", Sydney would probably sit between Tyler and Chrissy Puffs at the Scotts' feast table every Thanksgiving.
* Sydney is a very good hackysack player.
* Sydney is not allergic to peanuts, but that her dads are concerned that she will develop a peanut allergy in the future.
* Sydney gets nauseous from shaky cameras.
* It has never been revealed who Sydney's biological parents are, or why they gave her up for adoption. It is also unknown if Sydney ever knew her biological parents, or if her adoptive fathers knew them.
	+ Also, Sydney Scott is not her birth name since she was adopted.
	+ In "ARGGH! You for Real?", Sydney mentions being born 1 month prematurely.
	+ In "Out of the Picture", Sydney tells Coach Pacowski that she has had nine years of therapy with Dr. Lopez. If Sydney followed Dr. Lopez's therapy for a long time, who was also Howard's therapist, this means that she probably was adopted when she was a very small baby (about 2 years old, or younger if Sydney began therapy after her adoption).
	+ In the official comic "Love Out Loud", it is revealed that Harold and Howard have been together for 20 years. This implies that Sydney probably was adopted 8 years after the start of their official relationship.
* The official Instagram page for TylerTales occasionally misspells Sydney's surname as "Sydney Sott" in their hashtags, such as on this video, and this image.

* She can't blow up balloons because she loses consciousness whenever she tries.
* Sydney has a perfect school attendance.
* She has a love for antiques.
* She doesn't like magic shows (and only goes to them because Tyler likes them).
* Sydney is the second person to change voice actors due to his/her voice actor hitting puberty, the first being Tyler.
* According to Living Loud: Surprise Party, she is allergic to dogs, hamsters, canaries, and bats. However, this information is dubious because the game also states that she is allergic to animals, which she is not, as evidenced by her owning two animals. Additionally, Sydney interacted with Pupkin in "Game Boys" and Walt in "Chore and Peace" and didn't have any allergy symptoms.
	+ This game also suggests that she's scared of climbing through air vents.
* Sydney feels nauseated when she lies
	+ Chamomile tea alleviates this nausea.
* She started wearing sweaters sometime after meeting Tyler and that Tyler convinced her to buy her first one.

* "Absent Minded" is the final episode to feature her former crush on Chrissy Puffs.
* According to Tyler & Pretti Pressie's VLOG, she always picks "rock" during Rock, Paper, Scissors, due in part to the fact that her dads don't allow her to use scissors, even in an imaginary game.
* She is shown to be quite a good cook. In "One Flu Over TylerTales", she makes the sick Scotts a meal, in "Brave the Last Dance", she fixes up a cake, in "Flying Solo", she bakes to blow off steam, and one installment of the vlog reveals that she knows how to dice, saute, and flambe.
