Sylvie Barker is Richard's Geri, or second-in-command and a good friend to Anita. She is a lesbian, has short curly brown hair and is about five foot six inches, and has dated Gwen. Sylvie is an alpha were and one of the few others, besides Richard, that can partially shapeshift. She also has a collection of bones that came from her enemies, such as Fernando, Padma's son. She occasionally takes out the collection and runs her hands over the bones to comfort herself. This article or section is a stub. You can help the Anita Blake Wiki by [ expanding it].
