Sylvia (Mario Tennis: Power Tour)

Sylvia

Sylvia is a character from Mario Tennis: Power Tour. She holds the second rank in Junior Class doubles at the Academy before she is beaten by Clay and Ace. At first she's condescending in a way the player will later encounter from Mynx and Tori, stating that it'll be "decades" before their doubles team will challenge hers, but once Clay and Ace get ranked, she's instantly impressed with "how you (the player) get results", then will pretend when it's time to face Ace and Clay that she saw their talent all along. Her doubles team focuses too much on the player's partner, who is in senior class, not seeing the talent after all. Afterwards she's a lot more friendly, very unlike doubles tournament opponent Mynx, even pointing out her doubles partner's problems through the course of the game. Her sprite animation (and fanon) implies that her face naturally squints and winces into something like an odd smile from the bright sun, which may be a piece of why she's been stuck where she is for what seems like at least a year or two (not able to see the ball as well). She is a speedy-type character and her doubles partner is Sasha. She also mentions that Sasha is only really motivated when it's Island Open time, confiding in the player that she wants to go after a senior ranking, but that Sasha's disinterest in leaving junior class and fickle attitude towards practice is holding her back.
