Syonide is a recurring character in Black Lightning. She is Tobias Whale's surrogate daughter. He rescued her from a dumpster as an infant, and he has since taken her under his wing. She was in an adoption center until she was 8, which was when Tobias officially adopted her. Before that, she was abused and mistreated.

Throughout the Series[]

Season 1[]

In The Resurrection, she was first seen watching the news on the Black Lightning attack at Club 100. She was called to Tobias, so he could be informed of the incident.

Later on, she, along with Joey, pulled up in front of Lala's car to take him to Tobias'. There, they watched Tobias shoot him with a harpoon gun while telling him to handle the Black Lightning situation.[1]

In LaWanda: The Book of Hope, Syonide was in Tobias hideout, being given orders to up their security at all of their businesses. She rolled her eyes at Lala's comment on Tobias hating black people. When Tobias forced Lala to the floor, she gagged him to keep him from talking.

Days later, she joined Tobias at the Freeland Police Department to confront Lala. In Lala's cell, she watched as Tobias choked him to death, and they left the precinct.[2]

In LaWanda: The Book of Burial, she was walking with Tobias to meet with Lady Eve at Black Bird Funeral Parlor. She and Tobias listened to Lady Eve talk about Reverend Holt's march, were tasked with handling the situation, and left. Later on, Syonide watched as Tobias gave orders to another member to shoot the Reverend at the march and smiled as Tobias jammed a pen into the gang member's hand. Friday night at the march, she and Tobias went to the march and witnessed the protesters singing to Black Lightning. At Tobias' order, she shot Reverend Holt and indirectly shot Khalil Payne as well.[3]
