Sylvain

Sylvain’s story begins on the stormy peaks of Rhyme Snow Mountain. Born during a violent thunderstorm, Sylvain’s first cries echoed with the sound of crackling lightning. It was a night of chaos and destiny, and as the thunderrumbled, the currents of fate carried Sylvain into the care of Huang, a seasoned Zeraora who had made the mountain his home.

Huang taught Sylvain how to conduct. Though strict and often stern, Huang shared a deep, unspoken bond with Sylvain. Whenever Sylvain struggled—whether with music, training, or self-doubt—Huang would place a gentle paw on Sylvain’s waist, a simple but profound gesture of encouragement. It was a reminder of Huang’s faith in Sylvain, and of the journey they had both endured to protect their home.

Sylvain, in turn, became a symbol of hope for the mountain, defending Rhyme Snow Mountain from any threats. But Sylvain also brought something new to the mountain: a sense of playfulness and light, a counterbalance to Huang’s solemnity.

Trivia:

• In Sylvain’s Chinese name 泽拉杨, 杨 means a kind of tree. In French, Sylvain means forest.
• Sylvain’s Chinese name is the combination of Zeraora (捷拉奥拉) and Karajan (卡拉扬), one of Sylveon Shi’s favorite conductors.
