History

Sylvia was born in the South side of Chicago on May 24, 1992. Her family wasn't very well off so she lived in the projects, exposing her to the lifestyle of gangs, hoodlums, and dropouts at an early age. As she grew up, the area she grew up in had an efect on her, teaching her that she had no time to be soft and the only way to survive was to get tough and show others you were better than them. At first, it started as just causing trouble in school and disobeying teachers, but rapidly the trouble she caused got worse and worse. She began starting fights with kids just for looking in her direction and even joined a gang when she was only eleven years old. Her parents tried to talk sense into the girl, but when she stood up to them, they just gave up on her and didn't bother trying to help her in any way. Because of this, Sylvia rarely ever returned to her home and would stay out on the streets with fellow gang members and when she actually did go back to her home, it was only to take whatever money she could and her parents had few to no words to say when she arrived. At the age of twelve, Sylvia would then begin her downward spiral to her new lifestyle, with seemingly no hope for reform. She began doing drugs and smoking at this age and eventually would try even harder drugs just a year later. Sustaining her habits became difficult and she had to resort to crime in order to get the money she needed to keep up her drug habits. As more time went on, she would move from gang to gang, either because they wouldn't have the drugs she wanted or because they were killed in gang conflicts. School was never an option and she rarely went, sometimes missing weeks at a time. She eventually dropped out of school officially at sixteen. It was also at this age when she would have considered officially homeless, sleeping on park benches with just the clothes on her back or whatever scraps of clothing she could find to cover up. She had no source of money whatsoever and was desperate. She eventually began offering sexual favors to people for money on her own, but soon worked with a pimp. She did this for three years until she decided that she needed a change of scenery. She heard about Millennium City after hearing about the city reopening after The Battle of Detroit and thought it would be a good place to move to.
