Sydero Theron

"People are pawns, only instrumental in fulfilling some need. Whether that’s information, sex, exploitation, or something completely different. That song doesn’t change." - Sydero to Roe

Sydero “Syd” Nasi Theron is a female cambion who originally poses as a witch to hide her identity. She is a love interest in Superstition and first seen in episode one, No Good Deeds and shows up in all of season one. In season two, due to her new circumstances, she is missing for most of the season.
Syd was searching for her mother by tracking her brother when the two fighting lands her in the hands of Roe. With her original plan derailed, she struggles to balance both her demonic and human side, as well as accomplish her goals.

Physical Description

Specialized Equipment

Though Sydero relies more on abilities than weapons, it is not rare to see Sydero wielding a dagger that can sometimes transform into two separate daggers. A gift from Lust, this demon blade reacts only to Sydero's presence, and only she can effectively wield it. In the hands of another the blade will become immensely heavy and fail to perform.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Due to a prophecy, Sydero’s birth was foreseen and needed, along with her twin brother’s, Rahim, birth. She was born to Maurine Theron and the Prince of Lust, Asmodeus. As soon as Sydero turned five, fully weaned off her mother, Asmodeus came for her. Sydero was then raised amongst demons. She matured at a faster rate and was being taught supernatural history and trained on what her power was[1]. When Sydero returned home she discovered her mom was now both blind and mentally unstable. Her brother blamed her and called her a monster, pushing her to leave. She didn’t, and the family, though on edge, lived together for a while in peace.
That peace was again disrupted when Asmodeus was able to find Sydero when she turned ten. Sydero had accidentally undone her mother’s magic, allowing the demons to track her. This time she was tortured and trained on how to control her powers even in the worst situations. She was put into a box that still haunts her and told that she would not come out until she got a question right. Sydero stayed in that box for 3 months, 3 weeks, and 3 days, though this was in demonic time. She was allowed out when she finally got the question right.
When she was let out, she was able to escape yet again after killing a host of demons. This time, she went to a powerful witch and learned how to keep the demons from finding her. Sydero began to survive on her own and learned to rely on herself.

Social

Social Aptitude

In no way is Sydero a people person. Her patience is far too short and her attitude disallows her from effectively speaking to others. The only people who typically see past this attitude are those who know her. Despite her ineptitude, she is highly manipulative and charismatic enough to trick people into doing what she wants. It also may come as a surprise that Sydero is able to easily blend in with the crowd. Having to do so multiple times to avoid detection, Sydero's ability to copy the mannerisms of those around her are truly noteworthy.

Personality

“There’s no conversation, love and caring for others is a weakness. Sure, there are elements that can give it strength, but at the end of the day, it’ll kill you. There are just too many things that that amount of care opens you up to. Better to keep your distance.”

At the end of the day, Sydero cares for one thing and that's her own survival. For so long she has had to fight for her survival that it has become second nature to her. When faced with a fight that she cannot win, Sydero will run. Sydero doesn't take risks, despite her hatred for plans she does an excellent job of weighing the outcomes of situations before entering them. But, saying that's all that motivates Sydero would be a lie. Her own survival is her top priority, but it is obvious that Sydero also cares greatly for those around her, even if she does a horrendous job showing it. Her need to constantly protect those who rely on her weigh heavily on her conscious. Enough to where she will either abandon them or become fiercely devoted to their safety.
Depending on how Roe treats and responds to Sydero, her personality can go down one of two different paths.

Rogue Disposition

The Rogue Disposition, represented by +, is defined by Sydero's need to be free and striving to escape the grasp of fate. Rogue Sydero still remains distant but is far warmer than her counter disposition. Her pessmistic nature is more likened to being realistic with a dash of hope intertwined. She is far more likely to trust others and give them the benefit of the doubt. Rogue Sydero is also much more cautious, not only in what she says and does but also what she shows others. Her wish to be included and viewed positively battles with her actual nature. One can almost say that Rogue Sydero is human Syd.
Rogue Sydero views Roe as being able to protect themselves but also possessing a protective nature towards them. Through this, she will usually help and provide advice, even when not asked. This Sydero is far goofier and relaxed but has a tendency to keep a lot of things to herself to remain tough in the eyes of others.

Loner Disposition

The Loner Disposition, represented by -, sees Syd being a one woman team. Though she will play ball with others, she still retains her individuality and will more than likely want to do things alone. Her trust for others is low and she typically keeps people in the dark. Loner Sydero has learned to accept that fate cannot be challenged and everyone's paths are pre-destined with no hope of changing them. She is far more pessimistic, blunt, and less likely to stray or change her mind and listen to others. If Rogue Syd is human Syd then Loner Syd is her demon side coming out more. She has no care for how others view her and acts accordingly. She does what she sees is best and lets her demonic side flourish.
Roe will see two different versions of Sydero depending on whether or not they choose Syd as their best friend. Not being best friends with a Loner Sydero keeps the status quo with Syd seeing Roe as just another person they must deal with. Syd believes Roe is capable and will most likely let them do as they please without any interference on her part. Their relationship is one of mutual understanding. While a best friend Loner Sydero will seek out Roe and no one else. Sydero has no friends besides Roe and she holds tightly to the connection.

Romance Differences

Seeing that she has faith in the future, Rogue Sydero has less of a problem with stepping out of her comfort zone to show Roe unique sides of herself. She is far more fun-loving and there is a cautious nature about her, afraid to ruin what she has found. Her emotions are kept on the low though and serious prodding on Roe's part must be done to get her to admit some of her deeper feelings. Loner Sydero is much more open when it comes to her thoughts and goes off of the mindset that "if everything is predestined then nothing I do or say will change the future." With this thought, she is more likely to speak her mind, giving Roe a look at a far more vulnerable side of herself. Loner Sydero is also much more aggressive in her actions, having no doubt that Roe can handle it and being fueled by desire while Rogue Sydero is careful with how she handles Roe.
