Trademarks - Limited Generosity (5 out of 7) (Patreon)

Daughter of the Mayor of Ablesmith, Captain of the Ablesmith Academy's Cheer Squad, and to top it all off, a reputation that precedes nepotism and social classes.

Despite all these, a lot of people are surprised to hear that Sydney's well-reserved and always keeps to herself and her small circle of friends.

Since she was a kid, she was brought up under a rather strict household. She was raised with poise and dignity, as if everything she is and will be was already prepared for her on a silver platter. Her life, as one may see it, seems to be lifted straight from the pages of fairy tales and princesses. All these resulted into her being a spoiled brat... That is, until she was slapped back to reality by a certain black-haired girl, whom she calls 'glasses', which eventually became one of her closest friends.

Still, this hasn't stopped her curiosity in the average lives of other girls. All her life, she's wondered what it meant to wake up without the burden of her family name on her shoulders, and what it might feel to be a simple girl... To enjoy her life with her friends, to eventually fall in love, and live a simple life.  

In her pursuit of this, she's taken advantage of the freedom she was given when she entered the Academy as a college freshman, and took it as a means to be liberated from her templated life.  She shares everything with her friends, and luckily for her, they value their friendship more than material things, so she was never taken advantage of.

Despite a rather traditional upbringing, whenever she sees someone in need, she never hesitates to help. Like her status, she views money as a burden, and she'd be glad to use it to make the lives of everyone around her better.  After all, with Jessica and her other friends which can be counted by hand, she's already got everything she needs.

Sydney's heart outgrew the spoiled princess she once was and was replaced by the most generous person anyone could be. She became someone who believes that material things are only catalysts to make lives better. Neither social standing nor money would make anyone happy in the long run, but they certainly help get us to where our happiness is.

Although, even the most selfless of humans have something, or someone, they'd selfishly keep for themselves.
