Sylphinford Tachibana

橘・シルフィンフォード

Sylphynford is the self-proclaimed rival and classmate of Umaru. She is just as popular as Umaru and comes from a rich family. Sylphyn has long, wavy, sky blue hair with two shorter strands that lay on the front of her shoulders, and matching-colored eyes. Her hair appears to be held back by a white hairband with yellow flowers at the sides. One of her most unique features are her plus-shaped eyes that almost resemble stars, and her smug, catlike mouth. Sylphyn wears a modified version of her school uniform, with pale blue shoes, a short, puffy blue skirt, and fluffy material around the cuff of her sleeves and the bottom of her skirt, with a dark blue ribbon on her white blouse’s collar. In one episode they go to an anime concert where another girl wears the same outfit as her. Sylphynford is very confident and competitive. She constantly states that Umaru is her rival that she must beat, but Sylphyn always comes second to her. However, she's very kind and doesn't insult those she's competing against, and even bought a bouquet of flowers for Umaru on her birthday. She is also quick to feel embarrassed when she realizes that people are watching her show off, especially if her brother Alex is present. Sylphynford appears to come from a wealthy background, and is of German and Japanese descent. Like Umaru, she doted on her brother and always wanted to be near him. Its because of her brother she developed an interest in Japanese culture and wanted Japanese friends. She later moved to Japan with her brother.
