Appearance: Sylvie looks like she could take a punch, or dish a few out if needed. As the only girl with five brothers, Sylvie has learned how to fight. Her time in the Air Force has given her a lean, muscular frame, and becoming a Shifter only made her leaner, and her muscles stronger. Shes a quarter Haitian, thanks to paternal grandmother, and as such has dark hair, dark eyes, and a tanned, almost bronze complexion that suggestions a Mexican or South American heritage.
As a Detective in the New Orleans Police Department, Sylvies everyday wear suits her duties. Light blouses, dress slacks, and jackets. When she is off duty, Sylvie switches over to jeans and t-shirts, occasionally rocking a white wife-beater if shes working on her motorcycle or Hannahs car.
Personality:
Sylvie is a cop, through and through. Ever since she was old enough to walk shes dreamed of becoming a cop and saving peoples lives. In many ways, thats her dads fault. As a firefighter, he instilled the need for community service in all of his children, and while he was close with all four of his sons, Sylvie, as the only daughter, had a special relationship with her dad. Such that, when he was killed in a fire when she was sixteen, she took it to heart.
Sylvie is fiercely dedicated to her job and her duty as a Law Enforcement Officer, and struggled for six years under Juan-Vidals reign. While Sebastian Kaviklowski tried to break her spirit, he only forged her into a tough as nails Detective, dedicated to bringing Los Sangrientos down...even if she couldnt conduct her investigation openly. She can be cold and calculating, and her ability to disassociate her emotions from a task makes her almost brutally efficient at her job.
Despite the abuse that she suffered at the hands of the male members of the Pack, or perhaps because of it, Sylvie has routinely come out on top in the ring when faced off against male opponents up to twice her size. She routinely partners with Emilie Mercier to practice her martial arts, and shes familiar with quite a few.
Character History:
Sylvie Anne Levesque was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, not more than an hour and a half from where she now calls home. The fourth out of five children, Sylvie is the only daughter, and has a result she had a special relationship with her father, who took great pains to make sure that Sylvie knew she could be just as strong and capable as any of her brothers. He served as a member of the Baton Rouge Fire Department, and when she was sixteen he was killed in a house fire. His death hit Sylvie hard.
When she was eighteen, she graduated High School and shortly after 9/11/2001 applied for the U.S. Army, but was refused a combat assignment, and so she applied for the U.S. Air Force instead as a 3P0X1, Security Forces Specialist. She went through Basic Training and Tech School at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, before being assigned to the 435th Security Forces Squadron; part of the 435th Contingency Response Group. During her four year enlistment, Sylvie deployed three times; twice to Afghanistan and once to Iraq. On all three occasions she served as base security for the 435th CRG as they opened up airfields in both countries during the height of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
In 2005, in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Sylvie Levesque made a decision not to reenlist, instead returning to her home state in the hopes of helping those individuals affected by the hurricane and subsequent flooding. To that end, Sylvie Levesque was one of the first new candidates to join the New Orleans Police Department when it reopened its doors and began recruiting new officers.
Like her time in the Air Force, Sylvie pushed herself to excel, regularly out-performing her male colleagues. She had her eyes set on joining one of the tactical units in the Special Operations Division. But in 2008, when the New Orleans Police Department established their own Regional Preternatural Investigations Taskforce under the Specialized Investigations Division, she jumped at the chance to be on the cutting edge of Law Enforcement... Sadly, NOPD Administration quickly saw the RPIT unit as a failed experiment, completely incapable of performing its mission...and so it became a dumping ground for failed officers without a shot at redemption. Sylvie refused to see it that way though.
In 2009, a hot tip about a recently solved violent abduction and homicide suggested that the case involved more of a Preternatural angle than the NOPD originally thought, and the newly minted Detective Levesque was tasked with conducting an interview. The source, a man by the name of William Sutton, had evidence linking Los Sangrientos, a well known and influential gang in New Orleans, with the kidnapping and murder of Corryn Thompson. More than that, Sutton revealed that the gang was comprised primarily of Shifters, and that its leader, Juan-Vidal Ramos, was the Ulfric of the local Werewolf Pack. Over the course of three more interviews, Sylvie Leveque extracted every detail she could about the Packs businesses, and then, against the better judgement of her superiors, she dug a little deeper. Her actions didnt go unnoticed, however, and while investigating a warehouse at the Port of New Orleans after hours, Sylvie was attacked and abducted.
She awoke naked and chained in the basement of a house. She was kept there for three days, raped, tortured and abused, before finally Juan-Vidal came to her. He told her he wasnt going to kill her, but he couldnt have her continue to investigate him and threaten his businesses any longer. So he gave her to his Geri, Sebastian Kavisklowski. He attacked her and infected her. And she became his personal toy, to do with as he pleased. The case, officially, was quashed. Sylvie lied to her superiors and told them the leads she had been working were dead ends. In the end, no one even noticed when William Sutton went missing. And all Sylvie could do was grit her teeth and say nothing. Unofficially, she kept working the case...
For five years, she said nothing. She kept her head down, enduring the pain, the abuse, and the torture, all while building a case that, she hoped, would burn the entire Pack to the ground. She knew that a lot of innocents would likely get caught up in the case, but she couldnt save everyone. Some she could, and so she kept notes...a LOT of notes. Names. Dates. Places. Shed snap photos of cargo manifests and records of payments whenever she could. She kept a running diary of everything she endured, witnessed, or heard.
When Juan-Vidal got himself killed and took Sebastian with him, Sylvie saw an opportunity, but Isabella Prichard, a Wolf from outside the Pack, and the return of Ah Lam Liu, prompted her to hold off. Julias rise to power was even more destructive and caustic than Juan-Vidals, and if Sylvie turned her case file over to the Police, all it would do is bring Federal Agents down on people who had suffered enough under the weight of the Packs crimes. Instead, they formed an uneasy partnership with Deacon Keen, Ulfric of the Gathering Storm Pack, and the Rey of the local Cougar Pride. They tore Julias Pack apart from the inside.
When Deacon Keen seized control of the Los Sangrientos Pack from Julia, and killed those responsible for the death, the drugs, and the trade in flesh, Sylvie hoped that, FINALLY, the horror had come to an end. Using selective evidence from her files, and Lanas help to get that evidence into Police hands without it linking back to Sylvie, they managed to round out the human elements of Juan-Vidals criminal enterprise. And Sylvie could finally sleep...
