Oh, when I said Sydney was sticking around, I meant it! It's been a while since I've gotten a full character ref sheet, and this one by  bloodyjacket is amazing! It helps that she also originally helped make her design and was also the one to bully a soft lock onto me so that the character would really stick.

Sydney is a soft-spoken botany professor working on her PhD and teaching at a small coastal town college! She's always one to help out those who ask and has a motherly instinct for her plants. She has flashes of who she once used to be, but they've been getting smaller and less disorienting as of late. Having accepted her new life, she doesn't mind the change, only how many more papers she will have to grade.
