**Sylvia** is a major antagonist in the light novel, manga and anime series *KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World!*. She served as the main antagonist of the fifth volume of the light novel, the ninth volume of the manga, and the 2019 anime movie *KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World! Legend of Crimson*. She also had a cameo appearance in the spin-off light novel and manga *Consulting With This Masked Devil!*.

Sylvia was a creature known as a chimera, an organism capable of artificially manipulating the structure of her own body. As such, Sylvia possessed both male and female anatomy. She served as one of the eight generals of the Demon King's army, acting as the director of the Monster Enhancement Bureau.

Perhaps due to her incredible magical resilience, Sylvia was sent by the Demon King to annihilate the Crimson Demon Village and secure the Mage Killer weapon. The Crimson Demon Clan were a race of incredibly powerful mages who all possessed dramatic tendencies. Unfortunately, due to the strength of the Clan, Sylvia's armies were easily decimated and she struggled to make any progress.

Sylvia is voiced by Akeno Watanabe in the Japanese version of the anime and by Carrie Keranen in the English version. Watanabe has also voiced Tayuya in *Naruto*, Villetta Nu in *Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion*, Kycilia Zabi in *Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin*, Sherry Cromwell in *A Certain Magical Index*, and Anna Williams in *Tekken: Blood Vengeance*. Keranen has also voiced Satsuki Kiryūin in *Kill la Kill*, Misato Katsuragi in *Neon Genesis Evangelion*, Sailor Galaxia in *Sailor Moon*, Murrue Ramius in *Mobile Suit Gundam SEED*, and Carta Issue in *Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans*.

## Appearance

Sylvia had free-flowing bangs that were highlighted red and long, straight hair partially kept up in a bun. Her eyes were purple and she had pointed ears similar to an elf (except in the movie), leading Kazuma to believe she might be some kind of demon.

At first glance, Sylvia appeared as a towering, voluptuous, and beautiful woman. She was so attractive that Kazuma seriously considered defecting to the Demon King's Army to be with her, although this was before he realized that Sylvia had male genitalia.

As a chimera, Sylvia possessed traits typically unique to both males and females. She had the breasts and figure of a woman and male features which couldn't be picked up on as easily, such as a penis.

She wore a crimson leather one-piece dress made from the skin of low-level devils, white-sleeved gloves, brown stockings, dark-red shoes, a gold necklace, and a single blue earring on her right ear which isn't present in the movie. She usually carried a rope around with her to use for the "Bind" skill (except in the movie).

After fusing with the "Mage Killer" weapon, Sylvia's lower body was replaced by a giant white snake-like tail. Her clothes were completely shredded with the exception of her necklace and some red cloth that hanged atop her breasts.

In the movie, upon escaping death and fusing with Verdia and Hans, Sylvia's appearance altered drastically. Like with the Mage Killer fusion, only her her upper body remained. Her hair changed into a blue-luminescent slime and her clothes were completely gone, only being covered by orange wedge-like patterns on her breasts. Her size increased drastically, to the point where she completely dwarfed the likes of Kazuma and Wiz. Sylvia's lower torso was made up of blue luminescent slime covered in armor platting in the shape of a four-legged animal.

## Personality

### Light Novel

Sylvia was a smart and charismatic leader who seemed to genuinely care about the well-being of her subordinates, often shielding them from the magic of the Crimson Demons. She could be very observant, such as when she deduced that Kazuma wasn't the famed magic swordsman Mitsurugi by noticing the low quality of his blade.

She's quite the seductive type as well, mainly due to the fact that she wanted to seduce Kazuma when he was taken hostage.

Sylvia also likes to taunt her enemies and make rude remarks about their strategies and their predicaments. When she's angry, Sylvia's voice all of a sudden deepens and sounds more masculine.

### Movie

Upon her near death experience Sylvia realized that she had never been truly happy, but merely satisfied with her life. Sylvia sought true companionship, someone who would love her that they could love back. She chose to live for love and hope and the bright future that she could strive towards. Sylvia's newfound feelings were so strong that they were able to hold back the entire might of the Crimson Demon Clan.

In the movie adaption Sylvia's feelings for Kazuma went beyond mere physical attraction, as she had fallen in love with him by the end of the film. Sylvia's attraction to Kazuma was so strong that his betrayal lead to her strong resolve being completely shattered. Despite Kazuma's betrayal, in her last moments, Sylvia declared that she still loved him.

She was shown to be an extremely benevolent leader, often showering her incompetent army with praises where others would punish them.
