Sonia Nevermind

Sonia Nevermind (Japanese: ソニア・ネヴァーマインド Sonia Nebāmaindo) is a character from the Danganronpa series. She first appeared in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, and a participant in the Killing School Trip that took place within the Neo World Program.
Sonia Nevermind was a student who attended Hope's Peak Academy as the Ultimate Princess, referring to her status as the actual princess of the small European landlocked Kingdom of Novoselic. Sonia was scouted by Koichi Kizakura and was a student of Chisa Yukizome's Class 77-B.
As with all of her classmates, barring Chiaki Nanami and Ryota Mitarai, Sonia Nevermind was brainwashed by Junko Enoshima and turned into a member of the Ultimate Despair terrorist organization that was stated to be behind The Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Event in Human History. During this time, Sonia used her influence as a royal, and her natural charisma and leadership qualities to brainwash crowds of others to do the bidding of Junko Enoshima. During this time, she sought to cause Ultimate-level despair by ordering her homeland to be destroyed by a missile strike. Alongside the other Remnants of Despair, Sonia was tracked down by Makoto Naegi and the other survivors of the Killing School Life and placed within the Neo World Program for rehabilitation.
== Physical Appearance ==
Sonia Nevermind is a fairly tall individual with grey-blue eyes and long light-blonde hair. Her hairstyle, while loose, does feature a braid that arcs over the top of her head.
In Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair and Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak Academy - Side: Hope, Sonia wears a dark teal sleeveless dress adorned with a small white crest (likely the crest of the Kingdom of Novoselic) over her heart. Under her dress she wears a white collared shirt with slightly-puffed shoulders and short sleeves, and on her left wrist she wears a tan-coloured bracelet. On her chest Sonia has a large red ribbon with a golden-trimmed dark blue jewel adorning its centre, and she also wears a thin white belt across her belt. She also wears dark-coloured leggings and red platform-esque shoes. In her hair, Sonia also wears a large black boe that seems to have small diamonds hidden embroidered within it.
In her official artwork for Danganronpa 2, Sonia wears a large frilled royal dress of a light-golden colour, with a white seven-pointed crown atop her head and a red jewel on her chest. As a member of Ultimate Despair, as shown in Danganronpa 3 - Side: Future, she wears a similar, albeit different, dress of a more white colour that has a large red rose pinned to it.
As a student of Hope's Peak Academy, she instead wore the uniform of the prestigious high school; this outfit consisted of a brown blazer atop a tan-coloured vest and white button-up shirt, a red ribbon adorned to her chest, and a brown skirt. Sonia also wore dark grey leggings and brown-coloured shoes that bore a similar design to those she wore in Danganronpa 2. In her hair, Sonia wore a dark red-brown headband with a brown flower accessory attached to the left side of her head. The brighter colour scheme used in Danganronpa 3 - Side: Despair also shows her with bright blue eyes, as opposed to the duller almost-grey ones she had in-game.
== Personality ==
Sonia is a polite and cheerful girl, somewhat fitting of her role as a princess, though she also shows a more naïve side to her at times. Additionally she is fascinated by Japanese culture and traditions. Somewhat going against her polite and elegant demeanour, Sonia Nevermind has an interest (bordering-obsession) with the occult and, to a lesser extent, serial killers; both of which she is quite knowledgeable about. Her love for the occult allows her to get along well with fellow Killing School Trip participant Gundham Tanaka, and she seems to show that she cares about him and his Four Dark Devas of Destruction more than she does the others.
As the apparent-ruler of her homeland, Sonia Nevermind can be a very assertive individual, who can be fairly commanding when she needs to be. Her natural charisma also helps captivate all those into around her and enchant them into following her commands; she is aware of this and will not hesitate to use it when annoyed or when she feels the need to, such as when she was a member of Ultimate Despair. Despite this, she also wishes to live as a normal girl at times, with her main goal while attending Hope's Peak to be seen not as a foreign princess but as a normal Japanese schoolgirl.
During the Killing School Trip, Sonia also shows that she is an individual capable of hiding her emotions fairly well, appearing to be fairly calm throughout the killing game despite all of the murders occurring around her. During Class Trials, Sonia also shows that she has a very logical and pragmatic side, which comes into conflict with her desire to trust the others participating in Monokuma's games and believe in them.
A somewhat comedic trait Sonia has shown both in Danganronpa 2 and the non-canon Danganronpa: Togami light novel is that, when visibly upset or annoyed Sonia will loudly shout vulgarities. In the latter, as a member of Ultimate Despair, she also shows a very cruel side to her personality, willing to kill a crowd of innocents in the name of despair with no concern. Due to the influence of the Despair Book, which the light novel centres around, Sonia also displays a deep obsession with the despair she spreads, and attempts to mimic the mannerisms of the leader of the Ultimate Despairs, Junko Enoshima.
