{{for|/Gallery|more images}}

 

In the [[Physical Realm]], Syl can take on a variety of appearances, including a ribbon of light,{{book ref|sa3|5}} a flurry of leaves,{{book ref|sa1|23}} flame,{{book ref|sa1|40}} or a small cloud.{{book ref|sa1|27}} However, she prefers the form of a young woman about a handspan tall, with an angular face and flowing hair that fade into mist behind her head.{{book ref|sa1|2}} She usually wears a long, flowing dress, of a girlish cut.{{book ref|sa1|9}} She will often augment it with various other articles of clothing, like a cap, a jacket or an umbrella, or swap it out for similar attire, like a [[havah]] with a [[safehand]].{{book ref|sa3|46}}{{book ref|sa3|5}} Regardless of her clothing, however, she always goes barefoot.{{book ref|sa3|91}} In any form she takes, her entire form has a uniform, blue-white color, and glows with faint blue light. While [[Kaladin]] and [[Lunamor]] can always see her, to others, she's invisible unless she wills herself to be seen.{{book ref|sa1|21}}

 

 

In [[Shadesmar]], Syl is incapable of changing forms, or becoming invisible.{{book ref|sa3|97}} There, she is human-sized, looking like a pretty girl with blue-white skin.{{book ref|sa3|90}} She wears a dress but, like with her Physical Realm form, she is barefoot.{{book ref|sa3|91}} This being said, while she is humanoid, she does not share human biology -- her eyes are decorative rather than functional, and she sees the world in the same way spren without human features, like the [[Cryptic]]s, do.{{book ref|sa3|97}}

== Abilities and Attributes ==

 

Like other larger spren, Syl can change her form and choose who to show herself to, making her an excellent spy.{{book ref|sa3|97}} She can float or fly through the air, as well as walk sideways, and is particularly good at finding things.{{book ref|sa1|55}} She can also use [[Adhesion]] to stick things together. She generally uses this to play pranks on people, though she has also applied this ability to assist people.{{book ref|sa1|2}}{{book ref|sa3|77}} She's also, like all [[honorspren]], able to sense an oncoming [[highstorm]] days prior.{{book ref|sa3|20}}

It was around this time that Kaladin began backsliding on his oaths, causing Syl to worry about him.{{book ref|sa2|22}} Nonetheless, she stuck by him, and gave him a warning when [[Szeth]] was coming to assassinate Dalinar. She also immediately recognized Szeth as not a Surgebinder, despite his abilities.{{book ref|sa2|32}} Despite her increasing knowledge, though, she was still surprised at finding out that Kaladin could heal Shardblade wounds.{{book ref|sa2|33}}
