Sylph is a demon in the series.

History

A Sylph, also known as a sylphid, is an air elemental and mythological being first appearing in the alchemical works of Paracelsus. He describes sylphs as invisible beings of the air. Sylphs resemble tall, lithe humans and are commonly depicted as a woman. Some have a huge pair of feathered wings sprouting from their backs. They are often referred to by the female name Sylpheed. As air spirits, they can disappear and cause gentle breezes with their voices.

Sometimes they are depicted as cloud beings, and are also believed to be responsible for the myths of angels. Their attitudes embody the extremes of nature, mercurial and intense. Most of all, they defend the high peaks and wilderness mountains that are their home. Sylphs care little for the machinations and politics of "ground folk", and they rarely interfere with society.

The name Sylph is derived from the Latin "silva," meaning forest, and it is thought that they came from Nymphs of Greek lore.

Profile

Megami Tensei II

Sylph is needed to free the frozen Sword Knight in the Forest of Confusion. The Sword Knight can either be freed as-is or merged with Sylph to create Divine Cherub.

Shin Megami Tensei

"Origin: Worldwide. A wind spirit named by Paracelsus. It symbolizes the element of wind and is said to live in the air in all places. It's commonly depicted as a woman."

—Shin Megami Tensei A-Mode DDS Dictionary

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey

"One of the four elemental spirits of Paracelsus, it is a wind spirit that resembles a beautiful girl.
The name Sylph is derived from the Latin "silva," meaning forest, and it is thought that they came from Nymphs of Greek lore. They are often referred to by the female name Sylpheed. As air spirits, they can disappear and cause gentle breezes with their voices."

—Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Compendium

Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse

Sylph can teach Nanashi the Bind Voice skill through her Demon Whisper. She benefits from learning Force and ailment skills. As a member of the Element race, Sylph must be fused using two members of the same race, with possible combinations belonging to the Avian, Dragon, Fury, and Holy races.

Persona 2

Main article: Sylph (Fusion Spell)

Sylph is a Fusion Spell in both Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment, summoned by using any wind skill and the Summon Spirits skill in the former and Dangerous Garula and Summon Spirits in the latter.

Persona 4

"A cheerful, mischief-loving spirit that governs air. Since belief in it dates back generations, many have tried to find a real Sylph."

—Persona 4 Compendium

Sylph can be acquired through Shuffle Time in the Steamy Bathhouse. Its innate possession of the Sukukaja skill means it is a good choice for fusion to create an Ippon-Datara with this skill, vital for advancing the Empress Arcana Social Link with Margaret.

DemiKids Light & Dark

"A maiden spirit of the winds who hopes to some day find a partner to share her life."

—Demonary, DemiKids

Sylph can perform the combo Ice Wind with Apsaras or Bibisana. Sylph also has the power Windboost.
