==History==

Line 24:

Sylvia Christel is said to be half-Japanese and half-Ukrainian, and born and raised in France, although the validity of this is unknown. In college, she got married to [[Henry Cooldown]], but would frequently disappear due to Henry's income not being enough. She became a professional con artist, and used the ranking battles of the [[United Assassins Association]] to scam people for money.

===''No More Heroes''===

Sylvia meets [[Travis Touchdown]] at the Death Match Bar in [[Santa Destroy]] one night; she overhears his drunken rambling and offers to help him get even with his parents' killer, his half-sister [[Jeane]]. Travis agrees, and Sylvia has him assassinate the 11th ranked hitman [[Helter Skelter]] to place him in the rankings. Sylvia appears after Travis kills Rank 10, [[Death Metal]], and informs him that if he refuses to continue, he will be a target for assassins ranked below him. He agrees to continue after Sylvia teases the promise of sex once he reaches Rank 1. A short time later, Sylvia briefs Travis on Rank 9, [[Dr. Peace]]. She informs Travis about the entrance fee, and tells him to take on assassination jobs from [[K-Entertainment]].

Throughout the game, Sylvia informs Travis about his targets, and appears after each fight with [[Talbot]] and [[Weller]] to dispose of the body. She questions Travis's decision to spare Rank 8, [[Shinobu]], but agrees to leave her alive. As the fights continue, Sylvia spends Travis's entry fees on extravagant shopping trips and vacations, to his chagrin. She appears after Rank 5, [[Letz Shake]] is killed by Henry, preventing Travis from fighting him. Sylvia accompanies Travis on a date to a show, where he fights Rank 4, [[Harvey Moiseiwitsch Volodarrskii]]. After the fight, the two share a kiss. Before the Rank 2 fight with [[Bad Girl]], Sylvia sends Travis a letter by carrier pigeon, telling him not to look for her. After the fight, she does not appear. Travis would later learn from [[Mrs. Christel|Sylvia's mother]] that Sylvia is a con artist, and that the battles are a scam, but is encouraged by her to go forward with the final fight. Before the final battle, Sylvia tells Travis over the phone that she can't meet him again, and mocked him for thinking they would have sex. She ended the by declaring her love for him. After Travis kills Jeane, she can be seen watching him from a distance.

Line 43:

===''No More Heroes III''===

By 2021, Sylvia began working as a secretary for [[Damon Riccitiello]], and was present when [[FU]] arrived after his 20 years away from Earth. Sylvia was shown to be frightened by FU, and was shaken when he placed his arm around her. Sylvia used her position in the UAA to place the alien invaders into the rankings, allowing the situation to be better controlled. After Travis defeated [[Mr. Blackhole]], she arrived with Talbot and Weller, who incinerated Mr. Blackhole's eggs. Sylvia informed him that he had become Rank 10 in the Galactic Superhero Ranking, and once again promised him sex if he reached the top. Travis tried to ask her about the kids, but she ignored him and sky-dived off of the ship.

Throughout the game, Sylvia fulfilled her role as Damon's secretary, and is present for most of FU's meetings with the other ranking members. Sylvia appeared at the board meeting with Damon's executives, and got the President on the line when FU demanded it. Travis called Sylvia after FU attacked, killing [[Badman]] and injuring Shinobu. She arranged for a test battle in order for Travis to qualify for the next ranking, and told him to head to [[Perfect World]]. Before each ranked match, Sylvia informed Travis about his next opponent over the phone. She continued appearing after each battle, but kept leaving before Travis could ask about the kids. Sylvia arrived at the motel to tell Travis about his fight with [[Vanishing Point]], and thanked [[Buzariashvili Bishop]] for always looking after Travis. After the fight, Travis felt regret for killing [[Kimmy Howell|Kimmy Love]]. She reminded him that the strong are the ones who survive, and that life isn't like a super-hero movie. After FU kills [[Sonic Juice]] and prepares to fight Travis, Sylvia arrived to stop the fight, telling FU that if he breaks the battle rules he'll be stripped of the #1 position. Later, Sylvia appeared after Travis defeated Henry outside of the motel, and asked him how fratricide felt. She told him that she'll consider listening to him after FU is defeated. Another body of Henry's is shown to be alive through the window to her motel room. Sylvia appeared again after the final battle with FU, when Damon killed him as he tried to flee on his spaceship. Sylvia says that her hunch was right, and that Damon intended to kill FU from the start.

Sylvia appeared alongside the others at Badman's funeral, which was interrupted by the arrival of King [[Jess Baptiste V]], who was quickly dispatched by Hunter and Jeane, who arrived from the future. Sylvia and the twins told Travis that the battle wasn't over yet, and that his next opponent is Henry, who killed Travis in the future and teamed up with aliens to take over the world. Sylvia flew away as she announced the upcoming "family war".
