Syr (シル), currently known as Horn (ヘルン), is a member of the Freya Familia.
Appearance[]
Horn has grey hair. Her eye color was originally black, but when she received Freya's blessing and her magic Vana Seith, her right eye's color changed. Now it seems to be silver when one looks at it from certain angles and gray when looked at from others.[1]
Personality[]
Horn is extremely loyal to Freya. Thinking of herself as dirty and empty and of Freya as a beautiful and warm being, she developed a profound admiration for her ever since first meeting her, wishing to become her. She expressed great joy upon Freya granting her wish, easily giving up her name "Syr" to achieve this and, from then on, acted as her attendant.
Horn dutifully carried out her orders and devoted herself to her Goddess. However, she wasn't just an obedient dependant and was even willing to act against Freya's desires if she thought it was for the better. Her extreme passion made Allen call her not an attendant, but a mere religious fanatic.
As a result of frequently taking Freya's place whenever she took on her Syr Flova persona, therefore getting her memories and feelings, Horn started adopting more of the personality of her Goddess. She also came to believe she held a special place among Freya's followers as the only one who could know the Goddess' true feelings.
Her view of Freya as a superior entity led to her developing a great hatred towards Bell Cranel, sensing how much he had changed Freya. She despised the idea of her Goddess being degraded to a mere girl, believing it would soil her. However, due to her shared connection, she also began to fall in love with him too, as Freya's feelings began to spill over into her. Nonetheless, her devotion prevailed as she resolved to personally kill him to end his influence in her.
These contradictions resulted in Horn feeling simultaneous bitterness, adoration, jealousy, and love towards Bell. Following his capture, while not wanting to admit it to herself, she nevertheless started to also develop feelings of her own for the young adventurer for maintaining his self and his firm refusal to accept Freya while in her sandbox.
After Freya's rejection by Bell, she decided to maintain her façade and deny her real self, represented by her Syr persona. Though she initially hated the idea of her succumbing to this side of hers, Horn started to oppose Freya's decision as she experienced firsthand the emotional turmoil her Goddess was undergoing due to their connection.[1] She ultimately worked once again against her orders to help her by revealing her desire to be saved to Bell and later the Hostess of Fertility staff.
Following the Great Faction War, she was shown happy with the outcome, Freya's decision to remain as Syr, and thanked Bell for saving them both. In spite of it, she still despises him extremely, proclaiming her dislike for him at the same time. Horn continues to antagonize and verbally denigrate him whenever he is brought up, such as when she engaged in a lengthy discussion with Laurier about him.
Nonetheless, in reality, she is just as aggressively possessive as well, prompting some Gods to call her a yandere. Despite her tirade against Bell, she became very jealous when Laurier asked him to go on a date as they had promised when he saved her. She couldn't control her jealousy when Laurier took Bell's hand and attacked him with a knife. She also reacted similarly when she learned Bell was having a "date" with Eina. Upon finding out about it, she went crazy and took a knife from the Hostess of Fertility to go stab him for dating another woman.
Although she prioritizes Freya over anything else, Horn differs from the rest of her familia in that she cares about others as well. During Ais' training with Ottar, she gave the young swordswoman a change of clothes and a towel to clean herself, being the only one to express any concern for her.
History[]
When she was a child, Syr was an orphan. One day, she met Freya, who told her that she would save her and asked her if she had a wish. After saying she wanted to be like her, Freya offered her a deal.
In exchange for giving Freya her name, she received the name "Horn" and a magic that allowed her to become Freya, acting as her replacement every time she left under the identity of Syr.
Abilities[]
Great Physical Prowess: As a Level 2, Horn's physical abilities are all significantly superior to those of a normal person. In terms of raw physical prowess, her abilities are also far superior to those of any Level 1.
Great Durability: Horn survived being hit in the temple by Allen with enough force to fly through a pillar and crash into a wall producing a loud noise, though she was still severely injured by it. Meanwhile, the attack was strong enough to not only snap a normal person's neck, but also make their head explode.
Enhanced Senses: After acquiring her falna, Horn's senses became much better than those of a normal person. They improved even more after she ranked up.
Magic[]
Vana Seith (
One of its most notable aspects is that, when she transforms, Horn experiences her Goddess' senses, receives her feelings, and hears her thoughts, all as if they were her own. However, the connection can be disturbed when Freya feels very strong emotions, leading to Horn not getting a clear picture of what she is going through at that moment.
When she received her falna and thus this magic, Horn's right eye transformed, which Horn herself considered the "price to pay" for a mortal wanting to become a God. Instead of its natural black color it now appears silver or grey depending on the angle it is viewed from. However, beyond her appearance this change had the side effect that Freya's feelings can sometimes flow to her through said eye even if she is not using her magic. While it is a milder experience than when she uses Vana Seith, it still allows her to feel everything Freya feels.[1]
