Age    : 19

Small by even the diminutive standards of her race, Sylvy manages to be odd in all sorts of ways, or so she's been told. Her parents were both wanderers. Some say they met in Saltmarsh, some say they arrive together, a few say they even left together. Whatever the case might be, Sylvy has had little interest in them since she last saw them when she was five. That day, they dropped her off at her "aunt and uncle's" place and never came back. Uncle John was a sailmaker and Aunt Mary stayed at home or helped him. Secretly, Aunt Mary was a smuggler and brought pirate goods into Keoland to be sold and smuggled the profits back out again. AS such, from an early age Sylvy learned little respect for the law. She spent more than a few days underfoot at the Empty Net under its old ownership.

Around the time Sylvy was 12, her aunt got caught by the king's men. It went poorly for Mary and Sylvy was soon left only with Uncle John who fell into a depression over his absent wife. Undaunted, Sylvy took up her aunt's old operations. By the age of 16, she was a well-known smuggler. That was when she disappeared from Saltmarsh herself. She met a man who was seeking to end the practice of slavery in the Amedio Jungles and she agreed to help him. She still has no idea why. She traveled to the Holds of the Sea Princes and spent the last three years smuggling freed slaves back to the jungles along with other types of cargo.

She only came back when word reached her that her uncle had passed. He had long since passed from her daily thoughts, but the news struck her and she felt a need to return to Salt Marsh and pay her respects.
