Sylvia Marie Rauchen de Royale, or better known as "Smoking Viper", is a Quincy Royalty that was captured during the events of the 55th Quincy-Shinigami War. She was the one responsible for the assassination of Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto alongside her brother, Light Rauchen. She is also noted for her "Dissociative Personality Disorder" in which her other self, Olivia, takes over her body.

Appearance
Sylvia takes the appearance of young and cheerful teenager. Her casual appearance is that of a sleeveless dress that is red-violet in color. Attached to it is a hood that has two eye-shaped patterns found on each side. Her brown hair is tied into a braid she wears below her neck. She has kept it that way because it reminds her of her mother who died in the outcome of the previous war.

When she changes into her Heirloom form, her hair slowly becomes white and she becomes very pale. Her dress keeps it appearance but she now wears her hood up.

In the events the 55th Quincy Shinigami War, Sylvia wears a tight fitting garment that is embroidered with dotted snakes along the sleeves. She also tops it with a black backless dress. She also wears white boots that extend up to her thighs. As stated, she kept her hair and braid the same.

Personality
Sylvia is often seen smiling in most situations. Her cheerfulness is evident in almost all situations except for assassination assignments (in which Olivia takes over). She has a rebellious nature, often disobeying orders from the High Marshal. She is often reprimanded for this and was almost kicked out of the team. Her actions often lead to trouble but before she could carry on Olivia forcibly takes over to prevent any more damage.

Because of her condition, her other persona has different traits too. Olivia is often described as a serious and calm person. She is the one that does all the assassination duty when Sylvia is given an assignment. She follows orders strictly and will stick to the protocol in contrast with Sylvia. She is also a very intellectual person in reference to her high knowledge of Gintō spells

History
Before the other wars started, Sylvia was just a student in the human world. Her parents raised her in an environment that was far from the confilcit between Soul Reapers and Quincy. Her parents were both Quincy Marshals at that time and were under strict orders that they remain in hidden because of their child's abilities. When she manifested a spirit weapon accidentally, Soul Reapers within the area were alerted and they searched for the child's whereabouts. In the act of protection, Sylvia's parents sacrificed themselves to the Soul Reapers, one of which is Yamamoto. Her "Dissociative Personality Disorder" manifested when she fled the murder scene where her parents died. She created an entity called Olivia, her only friend.

After wandering in the Human World, a person who called himself Father-Q raised her and trained her in the arts of the Quincy. He noticed Sylvia's condition and he used it to his advantage. He genetically modified Sylvia's body to attune with her other self's persona. She was kept under training and hidden from the world for the past thirteen years.

Synopsis
Under Construction: Please have patience, try visiting sometime.

Equipment
Scharfrichter Schneider (German for "Executioner Cutter"): A modified version of the Seele Schneider created specifically for members of the Royal Family. Its appearance is similar to a Seele Schneider but is sometimes etched with intricate markings and ancient writings. Its function is similar to the original version (loosening spirit bonds and absorbing reishi) yet it's capabilities are of great extent. When fired, its vibrations get extremely high and they tend to loosen the bonds between both Hollow and Soul Reaper alike. Unlike the original version, once it cuts a bond, its remnants wither away and the reishi from the remnants are automatically stored in the Quincy's Gintō rather than just dissipating.

Seikei Tamashii Glove (成形魂-Glove, Japanese for "Soul Molding Glove"): Is the modified version and the exact opposite of the Quincy Sanrei Glove. Instead of scattering spirit particles, it absorbs them and it reforms them into very unstable and volatile particles. Weapons created from this glove are etched with runes that glow everytime it used. Spirit arrows also gain attributes depending on the runes inscribed onto them. Unsichtbarer Geist Cloak (German for "Hidden Spirit Cloak"): Sylvia's cloak was heavily modified to hide even the slightest form of spiritual pressure. Often used in assassination assignments, Sylvia's cloak supresses her reiatsu inside a small cross-shaped emblem found inside the cloak. This was the gadget that allowed her to get inside the Seireitei without getting noticed.
 * Nebel Gekippt Pfeil (German for "Mist-Tipped Arrow"): Sylvia uses this kind of arrows to generate clouds that freeze the opponent's reiatsu. The make-shift ice then stops reiatsu from flowing into the opponent, rendering them unable to cast Kidō or any Reiatsu-base techniques. This arrow can be created by etching the Rauchen Family Crest on the glove.

Powers & Abilities
Immense Spiritual Energy: As a Quincy Royal, Sylvia boasts a high spiritual energy. Though her reiatsu is very tremendous, she always keeps it hidden by suppressing it inside a special cloak she wears during her assignments.

Master Archer: A natural trait of a Quincy, she uses different ways of firing her spirit weapon. Her style is very unpredictable because of her two personalities. Sylvia often fires a dozen arrows to multiple enemies just to damage them while Olivia focuses on only one enemy in which she focuses a precisely aimed arrow for intantaneous death.
