Description
Sylvia Mercury First serves as a Warrant Officer and Planetary-Class Magician in the USNA military unit "Stars." Her code name signifies her top ranking within the "Mercury" classification, earning her the nickname "Sylvie." She is 25 years old as of January 2096.
Originally studying journalism in college, Sylvia developed strong data analysis skills. She had no initial military ambitions but was recruited into Stars due to her exceptional aptitude for information processing and intelligence gathering, a talent directly supported by her journalistic background.
Sylvia exhibits a calm, practical, and analytical personality, approaching situations with reason and often acting as a voice of restraint, especially countering the impulsiveness of her superior, Angelina Kudou Shields (Lina). Despite their rank difference, Sylvia maintains an unrestrained demeanor and does not emphasize hierarchy. During an intelligence-gathering mission in Japan, she lived as Lina's roommate and support, adopting an older-sister-like role and openly correcting Lina's cultural missteps, like criticizing an inappropriate outfit as something only found in "sketchy anime or comics."
Her primary responsibility is intelligence operations. In the Visitor Arc, she deployed to Japan to investigate the Strategic-Class Magician behind Scorched Halloween, coordinating intelligence efforts and monitoring suspects alongside Lina and other agents.
Sylvia was abruptly recalled to the USNA after facing suspicion of parasitic infection related to the Michaela Hongou incident. This forced departure strained her dynamic with Lina, who expressed sadness. After being cleared, Sylvia reunited with Lina, and their relationship evolved beyond professional duty into a genuine familial bond, with Sylvia treating Lina as a younger sister even outside missions.
In the movie *The Irregular at Magic High School: The Girl Who Summons the Stars*, Sylvia appears bearing new orders from the General Staff Headquarters following Lina's return from Japan. Her sensible nature is highlighted when she reacts with mild frustration to Lina's excessive souvenir collection, underscoring her grounded personality.
Her abilities focus on strategic intelligence analysis and information-gathering magic. As a Planetary-Class Magician, she demonstrates high proficiency in breaking down complex data, a skill rooted in her academic past. Her "First" designation reflects her elite status within Stars.
