Sylphrena was born some time before the [[Day of Recreance]]. She was one of the first [[honorspren]] to be created by [[Stormfather]] rather than [[Honor]].{{book ref|sa3|108}} Although she was too young to form a [[Nahel bond]], she did so anyway with a man named [[Relador]].{{book ref|sa3|95}}{{book ref|sa4|55}} He took part in only one battle before dying, which sent Syl into a state of deep slumber. This led to everyone assuming she had passed away, but it also saved her from becoming a [[deadeye]] during the Recreance, as befell with so many of her siblings.{{book ref|sa3|108}}
Over a thousand years later, she was found and reawakened. The Stormfather, not willing to let her come to any more harm, tasked [[Notum]] with keeping her safe in one of honorspren cities.{{book ref|sa3|108}}{{book ref|sa3|110}} However, she wasn't happy with staying put. Sometime around the year 1170, she felt drawn to [[Kaladin]], a soldier in [[Amaram]]'s army, and the way he treated children as a squad leader.{{

Leaving [[Shadesmar]] made Syl lose most of her cognitive ability. She became mostly mindless, acting much like her cousins, [[windspren]].{{book ref|sa1|2}}{{wob ref|4071}} However, she didn't forget her desire to accompany Kaladin, and followed him
She did not speak to Kaladin until he found and kept the leaves of [[blackbane]], a strong poison. Kaladin was initially unwilling to respond, thinking he was going insane, but eventually gave in.{{book ref|sa1|2}}{{book ref|sa1|4}} From then on out, she would accompany him everywhere. During his first bridge run, she urged him to get up and move, and as he spiraled further down, beaten by the constant battles, she tried to keep up his spirits.{{book ref|sa1|6}} Eventually, however, she stated that she was unable to see him in that state any longer and departed.{{book ref|sa1|9}}
