Backstory: Born and raised in Mykonos, along with her sister, Myla. They were raised by their parents and lived relatively normal lives. As the two of them grew older, many men (and even some women) took notice of the two girls’ beauty. However, only Myla enjoyed the attention as Scylla was more of the standoffish type. While Myla had many suitors, only one of them managed to catch her eye. He was a handsome villager named Christos, and things went great between the two. There was a woman by the name of Demina who wanted Christos for herself. She envied Myla and began scheming against her. Using a transformation spell, Demina turned into Christos and lured Myla into meeting "him" at the beautiful yet dangerous Neptune Waterfall. Before she left to go meet her lover, Myla wrote a letter to Scylla, as she usually does whenever she goes out. Upon returning home from shopping with her parents, Scylla went to the room that she shared with Myla. Seeing her sister's letter on the vanity, Scylla read it. Unlike previous letters she read from her sister, Scylla felt horror upon learning that Myla went to meet Christos at the Neptune Waterfall. Without saying a word to her parents, Scylla bolted out of the house to pursue Myla.
Upon arriving at the Neptune Waterfall, to Scylla's horror, she spotted her sister's left slipper near the cliff towards the waterfall. Looking over the edge of the cliff, she was filled with absolute dread as she spotted Myla holding onto a branch for dear life. Myla saw Scylla and immediately cried out for her older sister to save her. Scylla did her best to maintain her composure as she tried to figure out a way to save Myla without both of them dying. Suddenly, an old man known in the village as The River Hermit appeared before Scylla in her time of need. Despite being wary of the old man, Scylla pleaded with him to help her. The old man offered to help on one condition. In exchange for his assistance, Scylla had to kiss him on the lips. At first, Scylla outright denied his request and began berating him. After hearing Myla's screams for help, Scylla put aside her pride and gave the hermit a kiss on the lips. Upon doing so, Scylla felt a magical sensation entering her body. The River Hermit then told her she needed to hurry up and jump into the waterfall if she wanted to save her sister. Normally, it would be suicide to jump inside of the Neptune Waterfall, but Scylla felt compelled to do so. Once she jumped inside the waterfall, Scylla's legs transformed into four enormous serpents. She gained the ability to breathe under water and she handled the current caused by the waterfall with ease. Scylla used her newfound powers and saved Myla right before the branch she held onto broke. Myla was thankful to have been saved by her older sister but also horrified seeing that her sister's legs had become four giant serpents. Scylla’s legs became normal again upon reaching land. The two sisters then shared what happened with each other. Scylla explained that after she kissed the River Hermit, she gained the ability to breath under water and her legs turned into serpents. Myla explained that who she thought was her lover, Christos, was in fact Demina who used a transformation spell to deceive her. Realizing Demina had tried to kill her sister, Scylla swore revenge.
Scylla confronted Demina for tricking and nearly killing her sister. She unleashed a watery wrath upon her until Demina begged to be spared and taken to the authorities instead. Shortly after putting the Demina situation behind them, Christos asked for Myla's hand in marriage, which she happily accepted. Years went by and Scylla learned the best ways to use her powers. She also became an aunt. Life in her village was good until one day a group of Sages known as Fallen Stars kidnapped her and brought her to Rogue Town, a state within the country of Mayland. The Fallen Stars were determined to use Scylla in a ritual alongside various other Sages they had captured. Fortunately, Myla was pen pals with Mayland's current ruler, King Onyx. After explaining to him what happened, Onyx sent a team consisting of Hellin, Orsela, James, and Railing Herrera to rescue Scylla. Hellin and her team defeated the Fallen Stars. Scylla returned to her village, but often traveled back to Mayland to assist Hellin with various missions. She was a reluctant member of Team Hellin. It's surprising that she didn't accompany Hellin and the others in rescuing Trevyn.
