Sylvia is a major antagonist in the 2013-2020 Japanese fantasy comedy light novel series KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World! and its 2014 manga adaptation of the same name, as well as the main antagonist of the 2019 anime film adaptation KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! Legend of Crimson.
Sylvia was a creature known as a chimera, an organism capable of artificially manipulating the structure of her own body. As such, Sylvia possessed both male and female anatomy. She served as one of the eight generals of the Demon King's army, acting as the director of the Monster Enhancement Bureau.
Perhaps due to her incredible magical resilience, Sylvia was sent by the Demon King to annihilate the Crimson Demon Village and secure the Mage Killer weapon. The Crimson Demon Clan were a race of incredibly powerful mages who all possessed dramatic tendencies. Unfortunately, due to the strength of the Clan, Sylvia's armies were easily decimated and she struggled to make any progress.
Sylvia is voiced by Akeno Watanabe in the Japanese version of the anime and by Carrie Keranen in the English version. Watanabe has also voiced Tayuya in Naruto, Villetta Nu in Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, Kycilia Zabi in Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin, Sherry Cromwell in A Certain Magical Index, and Anna Williams in Tekken: Blood Vengeance. Keranen has also voiced Satsuki Kiryūin in Kill la Kill, Misato Katsuragi in Neon Genesis Evangelion, Sailor Galaxia in Sailor Moon, Murrue Ramius in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, and Carta Issue in Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans.
