About Sylvie's inspiration
I actually had a source on that one but I lost it, though I clearly remember tweeting about it. Suppose I'll just come back at this when I can provide a link.

EDIT: Oh wait, there we go.

 * But even Wikipedia lacks a source. The article is making the same assumption. Kyosei (talk) 02:40, May 21, 2017 (UTC)
 * It makes a whole lot of sense, still. From the same kind of fashion to the fondness of mixing cute elements with grotesque (brains, eyeballs, etc) in her video clips, to even the tendency to make funny faces (her victory pose). I tried checking Japanese sites and even there that was the general consensus, though they didn't provide links either. Dang, if only I could just confirm the source somehow...

 * Why do you need to find an exact quote or a link to some "general consensus? Let's look at the facts here:


 * 1. Her name is structured the same as Kyary Pamyu Pamyu.
 * 2. She looks like Kyary.
 * 3. She dresses like Kyary.
 * 4. She talks like Kyary.
 * 5. She has the same eyeball motif as Kyary.
 * 6. She makes the same silly faces as Kyary.
 * 7. She uses a megaphone like Kyary's.
 * 8. Kyary's kind of a big deal.
 * 9. She's based on Kyary, this is "Ryo totally wasn't intended to be a Ryu knockoff, it's just a total coincidence that he's so much like him even though Dan Hibiki was made as a direct response to this obvious ripping off of their poster boy" levels of denying that someone's got a nose on their face. In fact, this would be like if someone came in and went "Hm, nah, K9999 is definitely NOT based on Tetsuo, you're gonna need to provide an exact confirmation quote from his creator and proof that the quote is legit before we can accept this ridiculous notion as fact, he's simply a common character archetype in Japan even though there's literally only one character who looks and functions like that." TheSwedishElf (talk) 12:06, October 31, 2017 (UTC)


 * It's no use, I tried that too before: I know how certain wiki moderators operate. Nothing short of getting her designer on the phone will convince them. The "smoking gun evidence" mindset is more common than you'd think, and not just in cases like this. KurobinaYuki (talk) 15:17, October 31, 2017 (UTC)
