Sydney may look sweet and innocent, but don’t be fooled by appearances. She’s a force to be reckoned with! Shrewd and driven, she will find a way to get what she wants one way or another. She shares her ma's fascination with all things dark and spooky, but she lacks Audri's sunny personality. What she lacks in social graces, she makes up for in intelligence.
Although she’s not above playing dirty, she doesn’t believe in hurting others for no reason. She has her own moral code, just not one that aligns with societal norms. While she’d be the last to admit it, she has a heart, which only those close to her get to see. She doesn’t easily let people into her life, only doing so when one has something valuable to contribute, but when she does, she’s loyal to the end.
Likes: anything horror, Halloween, sour candy, science, robotics, amusement parks, puzzle/strategy games, plants (especially carnivorous ones), true crime stories, jazz, gobstones, anything from the 1920s-30s
Dislikes: being mistaken for her sister, ignorance, predictability, bright colors, most sweets, her hair, sentimentality, smiling (when she smiles, LOOK OUT!), being touched (will tolerate it with certain people/situations but doesn’t enjoy it)
The things I did up there were high school but now I’m going for my degree… History
Sydney is the eldest child of Lily-Belle Leyton and Audri Masters, a librarian and a restaurateur, respectively. Ever since she can remember, she’s been fascinated by all things dark and creepy. Much to her chagrin, her life so far has been the exact opposite: completely normal.
Sydney was an eerily calm child. She hardly ever cried, preferring cold anger over tears. Precocious from an early age, she hit her developmental milestones faster than most children her age. By age three, she was learning to read. By age six, she was helping her ma fix the animatronic band in the family restaurant. She was five when her magical powers manifested. On a family trip to an amusement park, she made a broken animatronic move, terrifying the guests. Only her mums knew what really happened; the park chalked the incident up to a mechanical failure.
Sydney attended a muggle primary school. There the teachers loved her for her intelligence; the students hated her for her strange interests and aloof personality. Not that that bothered her. She had no desire to be one of the crowd. While Sydney mostly ignored her peers, there were more than a few instances of odd things happening to people who bullied her or her sister. Some examples included gum randomly appearing in one’s hair, one’s shoelaces tied to the desk, and face-planting into one’s lunch tray. Suffice it to say nobody made that mistake twice… not that anyone could prove Sydney was behind the occurrences, of course!
