Syr Flova works as a waitress at the Hostess of Fertility tavern. She possesses bluish-gray hair, usually secured in a small-knotted ponytail, matching eyes, and light peachy skin. Her standard work attire includes a white blouse, a leaf-colored knee-length skirt, a half apron, brown boots, and black stockings; on her days off, she wears a white one-piece dress.
Syr's identity originated from a transaction between the goddess Freya and an orphan girl named Syr. Freya took this name for herself and gave the girl the new name Horn, along with the transformative magic Vana Seith, enabling Horn to impersonate Freya publicly. In exchange, Freya adopted the human identity Syr Flova, suppressing her divine aura to live among mortals. Freya established this arrangement after facilitating Mia Grand's semi-retirement to open the Hostess of Fertility, where she later provided shelter for Anya Fromel and Ryuu Lion. She eventually used the Syr persona to approach Bell Cranel.
Initially, Syr represented a role-playing diversion for Freya, mirroring divine pastimes. Over time, the persona evolved beyond pretense, becoming an expression of Freya's unfiltered self—"Freya without makeup." As Syr, she radiates cheerful kindness and mischief, frequently teasing Bell yet blushing intensely when teased back. She demonstrates sharp perception, noticing colleagues' presence unnoticed by Bell, and maintains calm under pressure to devise swift plans. Her kindness extends to helping strangers, counseling a troubled Alise, aiding a distressed Anya, and rescuing Ryuu. She volunteers at Maria's Orphanage in Daedalus Street, showing affinity for children.
Despite genuine care, Syr exhibits cunning and manipulation. She exploits Bell and coworkers to avoid chores, spreads favorable rumors to assist Ryuu on missions, and bluffs proficiently in poker games—traits earning her the "witch" moniker from Anya and Chloe. She guards her personal life closely; even friends know little about her residence or background. She resents surveillance by the Freya Familia and relishes evading it during outings with Bell.
Her dual existence reached crisis when Bell rejected her romantic advances. Heartbroken, Freya renounced the Syr identity as artifice. She nevertheless maintained concern for Hostess colleagues, especially preserving her bond with Ryuu. After the Freya Familia's defeat in the Great Faction War, the tavern waitresses persuaded her to retain the Syr persona. She ultimately chose to abandon her goddess status and live permanently as Syr.
As Freya's mortal incarnation, Syr possesses innate divine abilities:
- **Discerning Eye**: Grants perception of soul colors and brilliance (e.g., Bell's transparent soul, Ais Wallenstein's golden soul). This power estimates adventurer capabilities, detects emotional states, and assesses mental conditions.
- **Charm**: Enables enchanting gods, mortals, and monsters through beauty alone.
- **Strategic Acumen**: Combines soul-reading with acting and bluffing skills to manipulate others, exemplified by defeating poker-playing con artists.
Her history includes spreading misinformation to access restricted areas, exploiting interpersonal connections for tactical advantages, and orchestrating scenarios to influence events discreetly. After embracing her Syr identity permanently, she continued working at the tavern while integrating her divine insights into mortal interactions.
