Syl is generally cheerful and
She has a very strict code of ethics, despising deception and lies, although she eventually becomes more willing to be cunning.{{book ref|sa1|34}}{{book ref|sa3|17}} She believes that being a [[Windrunner]] is not about finding justice, and that the use of their power is only justified when protecting others.{{book ref|sa2|22}}{{book ref|sa2|18}} She can be very assertive and even angry when she perceive someone as acting in a wrong manner.{{book ref|sa2|18}}{{book ref|sa2|16}} However, she also believes in the "us versus them" duality in the war against [[Odium]], and becomes uneasy and confused when the lines grow blurry.{{book ref|sa3|31}} She can be rather forceful in her attempts to do what she thinks is right, even when it could hurt the emotions of others. She despises [[Shardbearer]]s.{{book ref|sa3|10}}
Syl is particularly focused on keeping [[Kaladin]] in a healthy mental state. She always tries to push him to keep going even when he's at his worst, and encourages him to let himself be happy.{{book ref|sa1|11}}{{book ref|sa2|86}} When he's in the depths of depression, she looks after him and tries to comfort him, often acting like his sounding board when he's unwilling to speak to others.{{book ref|sa3|91}} However, while her efforts are always well-meaning, she can sometimes try and force him to act her way, even when he's perfectly capable of disagreeing.{{book ref|sa3|10}}

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}}▼

As an honorspren, Syl has the capacity to bond with people, gaining higher sentience in the [[Physical Realm]] in exchange for granting her partner -- currently, [[Kaladin]] -- [[Windrunner]] abilities, including the [[Surge]]s of Adhesion and [[Gravitation]].{{book ref|sa1|57}} Beyond that, once her Surgebinder reaches the Third Oath, she is able to transform into a living, shape-shifting [[Shardblade]]. In this form, she's capable of communicating with [[Kaladin]] telepathically.{{book ref|sa2|86}} ▼
However, there is a downside to this bond. When Kaladin strays from his Oaths and break them, Syl begins to lose her higher mental functions, to the point where she essentially dies.{{book ref|sa2|64}}{{book ref|sa2|69}} However, she is brought back once Kaladin returns to the path of the Windrunner and swears the Third Oath.{{book ref|sa2|84}}▼

Crossing the Perpendicularity, Syl returned to her semi-corporeal form, and accompanied Kaladin as a weapon in the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]].{{book ref|sa3|120}} After the battle, the two discussed once more the righteousness of fighting [[singer]]s, who were only trying to regain their home, with Kaladin deciding that he would still fight for humanity's survival and reassuring Syl that he would not kill her, or other sapient spren, ever again.{{book ref|sa3|121}} Eventually, the two went to rescue [[Skar]] and [[Drehy]], two of Kaladin's squires, who had managed to get Gavinor out of Kholinar.{{book ref|sa3|122}}
