[color=Goldenrod]Strengths[/color]
[indent]If there is one thing about being raised with two older brothers, it is that you'll have to learn to fend for yourself. Especially if you are an Ironborn. Today, this has translated into Syla being quite the brawler, substituting a man's brute strength for knowing just where to hit and being light on her feet. She's a noted dirty fighter, too, in order to compensate for the lack of testosterone. Also, being a fighter, she was taught how to fight in combat beyond just her fists. Her preference is with a sword and shield.

Suprisingly crafty despite her lack of brilliance. Some would call it "street smarts" but to Syla, it's just knowing your way around. It can be bigger things like she knows how to con a man out of his coin purse or it can be the small stuff like knowing just exactly where to get the fish in Pyke. 

All things considered, she is pretty tough in both realms, mental and physical. She's prepared to 

[/indent]
[color=Goldenrod]Weaknesses[/color]
[indent]Syla is quite dense and academia was always her greatest weakness. She isn't book smart by any stretch of the imagination and has no grasp of the finer points.

As you can imagine, Syla can be pretty easy to manipulate being one that is motivated more by passion and feeling instead of logic or truth. She's quick to anger, lust, and so on... Many of those that practice their intrigue, and there are many in King's Landing, can convince Syla to do just about anything.

A Greyjoy doesn't really have many friends outside of their islands and Syla is no exception. She pretty much reeks of the salty rocks of Pyke and everyone can "smell" it after meeting her once. To make matters worse, Syla isn't doing herself any favors by boisterous and impudent guest in King's Landing. The worst part is, she is considered entirely expendable by most of those back home.[/indent]

[color=Goldenrod]Personality[/color]
[indent]Syla is an Ironborn, true and true. She's cold and hardened to many things with a fierce temper and pride. She aspires after her rolemodel, Asha Greyjoy, who had also previously defied the traditional gender laws of the Iron Islands, even leading men into battle. Syla is ambitious and desires a lot out of life, namely title and land. She's also rowdy, tough, and an open flirt with other women, which generally doesn't work out in her favor. Many harbor contempt for her "sinful" reputation but at this point, Syla is beyond caring.[/indent]
[color=Goldenrod]History[/color]
[indent]Ah, being the face of Greyjoy's disinterest in Targaryen politics doesn't provide the best outlook on life but it can have its perks...

Syla is Bailin Greyjoy's answer to the mandatory Targaryen request to send a ward from their family. Seeing as the Greyjoy's are still bitter about their denied kingship, Bailin sent what he considered to be a non-serious candiate. Syla. Overall, this was probably the best move he could make. He could send off his landless daughter and earn something in King's Landing without running the risk of losing a son, or more importantly an heir.

Still, one has to admit that even she does the Greyjoy name proud. Ever since she was a kid, she was always one to follow her brothers around. She always preferred the iron to the frilly cloth of typical ladies and she was always at least tolerated for it. So her father, Bailin, trained her alongside her brothers, who were and still are the most important people in her life. But Bailin knew the day would come where his daughter would want to lead ships, just like her brothers. Thankfully he was presented an out before Syla's coming-of-age and sent her off to King's Landing to serve as the Greyjoy ward.[/indent]

[color=Goldenrod]Extra Stuff[/color]
[indent]Seeing as how Syla is the only Ironborn representative, she has a retinue of about twenty, curiosity of her lord and father, Bailin.[/indent][/hider]
