I'm rewatching the whole _SAO_ series and I go to the manga whenever I want to
clear things up for the show but I thought about something.

In the Aincrad novels, there are specific chronological Arcs for:

> Silica, Lizbeth, Yui, Sachi

But in the second season, we see Sinon, a "main?" character. But isn't there a
specific Arc for her? or some more backstory than what we see in the Anime?

> The fact that she gets scared of guns but in-game she isn't, and her past at
> the bank.

I couldn't find any Arcs for the characters of the second season so if there
are where can I find them or what are they called?

Is there a specific arc for Sinon in the anime?


One could say that the two _Phantom Bullet_ novels are her arc.

Except for Sachi whose story is shortly summarized, the other characters you
named don't appear at all in the original story in the first light novel. They
first appear in those character specific stories in the second light novel,
which were then integrated with the first novel into the first anime season.

There isn't another Sinon specific story and the anime adapts basically the
whole backstory of her from the novels.

The whole _Phantom Bullet_ arc **is** Sinon's arc, in the same way the _Fairy
Dance_ is mostly Leafa's arc, for the most part. Neither character has another
side-story outside of these arcs, seeing as most of their past is expanded
within them.

In the Light Novels, this is Volumes 5 and 6. Most of what you want to know
about Shino/Sinon will be in those two volumes.
