**Sylvie Laufeydottir** debuted in the Loki series. She is a variant of Loki, and while she shares some of his character traits and tropes she is none the less is a character and sexywoman independent from her association with him. She is played by Sophia Di Martino.

Sylvie quickly gained popularity after she debuted in episode 2 and featured prominently in episode 3 of the show. While not much is known about her at the moment, there has been much fan speculation about her origins and what her role in the show will be as more episodes come out. Sylvie is still greatly overshadowed by Loki in terms of sexyperson notoriety, however this is unsurprising considering how long Loki's been a sexyman and how recently Sylvie was revealed.

She is based on both Lady Loki and Sylvie Lushton, the second Enchantress, from Marvel's comics.

## Basic Information

Like Loki, in her timeline she was adopted by the Asgardian royal family and originally named Loki, however unlike him her parents told her at a young age that she was adopted and later in life she adopted the name Sylvie as an alias; she expresses frustration and possibly discomfort when she is referred to by the name Loki. She has been running from the TVA for much of her life

She holds a strong hatred for the Time Variance Authority, has killed many of their Minutemen, and has vowed to destroy what they call the Sacred Timelime. Just when she was about to kill the Time=Keepers and succeed in her plan, Loki interrupted her. The two are now working together in order to survive. Their alliance is rather reluctant, and they often argue over things like plans and which one of them is "the superior variant".

## Archetypes

### Girlboss

Many agree, Sylvie did in fact utilize girlpower when she reset-bombed the Sacred Timeline, attempted to kill the Time-Keepers, and declared herself to be superior to Loki.

### Chaoslord

She is the goddess of mischief. She wants to bring about the end of the TVA by wreaking havoc to the Sacred Timeline and killing the Time-Keepers.

### Dominating

More often than not, she can easily use magic to take control over others. She also has quite a smug and egotistical personality, which many of her fans would say is part of her appeal.

### Intelligence

Sylvie is shown to be intelligent. She is calculating and has a lot of knowledge of magic and how timelines work.

### Knifemurder

As stated before, she's killed a lot of the TVA's Minutemen (many through stabbing) and her end goal is to kill the Time-Keepers.

### Mysterious

Sylvie is currently shrouded in quite a bit of mystery, as how exactly she was declared a variant, what happened to her timeline, and why she hates the TVA are unknown.

### Power

She has demonstrated proficiency in physical combat and with magic. She can use telekinesis and enchant others, taking control of their bodies or accessing their memories. She's even able to use magic within the TVA's headquarters, where magic supposedly cannot function, although her spells are weaker than normal there. Sylvie's magic seems to be more powerful and/or skilled than Loki's, as he's completely incapable of using magic in the TVA's HQ.

### Technically Antagonist

While Loki was previously working against her, Sylvie and Loki are currently working together.

### Well-Dressed / Long Cape

She's initially shown as a hooded figure in a long cloak. After her identity is revealed, she's seen in fancy clothing with a long cape.

## Subverted/Added Archetypes

### WLW

Since she is a variant of Loki, it can be assumed that she is bisexual. Unlike with Loki's bisexuality, hers is not explicitly stated, however it is implied in the same scene Loki's sexuality was confirmed in.
