Sylvain is described as a gentle music artist who is friendly and easygoing. He composes his own tracks, is skilled with various instruments, and is quick to spot when others need help. His personal motto: "Notes are free like waves. Music is about expression, not perfection."
After completing university, Sylvain considered opening a music shop. His cousin Stella (a former idol who spent two years in the industry before seeking a quieter life) recommended Starsand Island, prompting him to establish Silvan Notes there roughly one year before the current timeline.
Daily Schedule
Sylvain follows a loose routine that often takes him far from town:
NPC | Schedule |
|---|---|
Mornings | Spends time composing music on his balcony above the shop. |
Afternoons | Seeks creative inspiration at Crane Cape or Cloudrest Lake (scenic trails). On clear days, he feeds cats in the town square. |
Evenings | Attends Stella's nightly performances. |
Winter | Covers pet store shifts at Woof & Wow when Stella is away. |
Because of his habit of visiting distant scenic locations, Sylvain can be hard to track down during the afternoon. Use the map's NPC tracking feature to locate him.
