Sylvie has a complicated comics backstory that fits pretty perfectly in the chaotic world of Loki — but because this show is all about mischief, don’t expect a straight book-to-screen translation.
According to Marvel, Sylvie is a teenage girl from Broxton, Oklahoma — a temporary home for the Asgardians in the comics post-Ragnarok — who is suddenly endowed with mysterious power.
While her powers may be real, her entire life is a lie — a creation by Loki to effect chaos.
Though Di Martino’s character still doesn’t have an official name just yet, several observant fans found an accidental Easter egg in the credits of Episode 2.
In fact, Twitter user dokidokiloki observed that the name “Laufeydottir, Sylvie” can be seen on one of the forms Loki is researching in Episode 2.
While pretty much all characters in the MCU sport some cool surnames — Stark! Pym! — none are more revealing than the ones we find in Thor’s family.
