She worked on her family's farm until her crystal bond was discovered by a visiting priest. She then went to study at the Temple of Scherza in Shintillah, Southern Viria.

They became friends and Syl ended up recruiting her into the Carpathian Alliance. She studied at the Donovan Institute and trained as an operative.
