Sorrel (Dragon Rider)

Sorrel is a forest brownie and one of the three main characters of the animated film, Dragon Rider also known as Firedrake The Silver Dragon on Netflix, based on Cornelia Funke's best-selling novel and is one of the three main heroes of the film along with her best friends, Firedrake, and Ben.
She is voiced by Felicity Jones, who also played Jyn Erso in Star Wars Franchise.
==Personality==
Sorrel is hugely devoted to Firedrake and will never let him down, no matter how crazy the dragon's ideas are and how much she knows about the naive nature of her best friend.
She openly despises humans because of their past actions, mostly because her parents tell her that stuff. When Ben joined in on the adventure, Sorrel had no confidence in him at first, sometimes argued with him and tried to get rid of him by annoying him into leaving by pushing off a small cliff, once. Despite all of that, even though she didn't trust Ben, she shows that she actually cares about him just as much as Firedrake does. For example, Sorrel saves Ben from the basilisk, she smiled when Ben flirted with her, she cared for Ben when he was drugged by Djinn and she was relieved when Ben recovered, and even though she admitted to Ben that she doubted him at first, she actually showed that like Firedrake, she has faith in Ben. When the orphan had abandoned the duo, she felt hurt just as much as Firedrake did. 
After Nettlebrand's defeat, Sorrel punches Ben for deserting them but she forgives him, and the human and the brownie really became friends, and she may even really like Ben. After these events, Sorrel realizes how wrong she was about humans and stopped judging and became not only devoted to Firedrake, but to Ben, as well. She tells her family so much about Ben, she even waved goodbye to Ben and his new family and gave Ben a loving smile, which may hint that she and Ben may become a couple.
==History==
Sorrel and her best friend, Firedrake, climb to the top of a ridge to spy on a reunion between the dragons. They end up tumbling to the ground and after leaving, Firedrake expresses the frustration with having to stay hidden while Sorrel simply accepts it because they are safe and that is most important. Sorrel then returns home for dinner.
Later, Sorrel listens to Firedrake tell her about a wonderful place far away called Rim of Heaven, suggesting new life although the brownie doesn't floss as enthusiastically since her father once told her the outside world was dangerous. Their conversation is suddenly interrupted by a colossal noise which makes them discover a construction site in operation. 
This discovery makes the dragons panic to the point that some would rather fight sooner than go into hiding. Firedrake exposes his idea to Sorrel to take everyone to Rim of Heaven but she judges his idea crazy before joining her family when her mother calls her. After her father expresses his doubts about the possibility of finding a safe place, Sorrel discreetly slips away after dark and reluctantly joins Firedrake about to take off in search of Rim of Heaven. Once the duo are in the air, Sorrel mentions that a pixy told her about something humans call the internet that could help them with their research.
Arrived at a city platform, Sorrel tells Firedrake to keep a low profile while she goes to search the internet because she is more discreet than him. Having failed to find anything, Sorrel finds Firedrake in a shed where she is shocked to see a human orphan named Ben in their presence. The dragon tries to convince his old friend that Ben, whom he believes to be called Dragon Rider, can help them find the Rim of Heaven, a fact that Sorrel doesn't believe in due to her belief that humans are just liars and cheaters. Police disembark outside the building shortly after, forcing the unlikely trio to fly away.
Away from town, Sorrel continues to express his distrust of the kid and is even called a Chipmunk when Ben insists on coming down to earth. Barely after Ben is gone, Sorrel and Firedrake briefly encounter three dwarves before the orphan returns after hearing the word gold. Sorrel still refuses to come with them, starting a long argument with Ben as Firedrake explores the surroundings. A little later, Sorrel apologizes for earlier, affirming that it is because of the youngest brownie syndrome and proposes to him not to have any more hard feelings. When Ben shakes his hand to make it happen, Sorrel doesn't waste a moment to throw him off the path. Firedrake returns, insisting on leaving immediately until he worries ridiculously about Ben's absence, which Sorrel tries to hide but the human returns again and the trio takes off just before Nettlebrand arrives.
In the early hours of the morning, Ben asks Firedrake for a flamethrower breath, only for them to be praying in a sandstorm and crashing into Egypt. Sorrel climbs out of the sand, the ruffled fur worth Ben's sarcasm before she sets off in search of Firedrake. Entering an Egyptian tomb where the dragon is likely to have crashed into it, Sorrel quickly finds him but is suddenly attacked along with Ben by a feathered dinosaur-like creature until an archaeologist petrifies the thing spanking her looking at her reflection. After the man is introduced as Professor Barnabas Greenbloom, Sorrel accuses him of killing the creature as a typical human trait despite the Professor calmly asserting that he is not dead, which Sorrel believes that after using the mirror on the creature starting to move again. When Greenbloom becomes fascinated by Firedrake, Ben coldly denounces the inability of the fire-breathing dragon, spanking him fleeing in sadness. Disgusted by Ben, Sorrel tries to call Firedrake to no avail, not knowing he was behind the dunes.
All gathered and going to the professor's encampment, Ben friendly compliments Sorrel for standing firm against the creature, calling her a "Tiger", which makes her blush. At the camp, Sorrel is suddenly licked in the face by one of Greenbloom's critters. Upon learning of their journey to the Rim of Heaven, Greenbloom gives them a map connecting different hostile and dangerous locations that could lead them to the Mighty Djinn, a being able to answer any question. The next day, the trio say goodbye to the professor and then resume their journey, guided by the so-called know navigator Ben to which Sorrel remains skeptical.
During the trip, the trio encounter multiple dangers such as giants, evil elves, a giant sea serpent and fire fairies, coupled with a problem of understanding between the human and the brownie. All these hard-to-overcome obstacles, the trio stop at the seaside where Sorrel criticizes Ben's poor sailing instinct before being captured by a Rock. All seems lost for the young brownie until Firedrake finally manages to breathe fire, spanking the giant bird loose and Ben catches Sorrel in freefall from Firedrake's back. Shocked by the incident, Sorrel is nonetheless delighted that Firedrake managed to breathe fire for the first time but disillusioned when Firedrake absurdly thanks Ben, leaving her to feel cruelly left out. She then notices that they have arrived at Djinn's Ravine, where the Mighty Djinn lives.
Walking deep into the jungle, the trio involuntarily summon the Djinn who asks them to ask him a question but warns them that he will spray them with his eye ray if he has heard that question before. Cunning, Ben asks where the Rim of Heaven isn't, forcing the Djinn to give him a vision of the place in question that leaves Ben in a state of madness. Unfortunately, Sorrel sarcastically asks how to get out of the ravine, causing the Djinn to attempt to kill them since he heard this question so many times before. At the moment, Nettlebrand emerges and enters a colossal fight with the Mighty Djinn, during which Sorrel notices that the metal monster is indestructible due to the fact that the Djinn's vaporizing beam has no effect, while being once again dismayed at Firedrake's grotesque beliefs that he can only breathe fire with Ben on his back. The trio managed to escape after that.
Refugee on a mountain, Sorrel insists on doing without an ever-insane Ben because he's only been a problem from the start but the naive dragon refuses to do so so she gives in for another idea of ​​going to the position where the teacher found the map. They later arrive at a beach in India where locals greet them and get excited when Firedrake calls Ben a Dragon Rider. Sorrel then tells them that they are coming to see Subisha Gulab. Shortly after, the trio meet the old woman who takes them to an ancient temple where other people are pictured in search of the Rim of Heaven and who have failed. The trio soon notice a painting depicting Nettlebrand, the mere mention of whose name reveals the presence of Twigleg whom Sorrel captures and interrogates to discover he was spying on them for Nettlebrand. Sorrel then suggests getting rid of the homunculus but the tiny man claims to be able to help the trio, which he does when his master calls by phone and fools him by saying the Rim of Heaven is at the north pole, only for Subisha's husband did all messed up. With time playing against them, Subisha uses incantations to get Ben access to vision again, pointing to a snow-capped mountain named the Grand Pique and after one of Nettlebrand's ravens stole the map, the group now counting Twileg hurry to leave for the mountain.
In view of the rocky terrain, the trio enter the blizzard and then into an ice cave where Sorrel spots Nettlebrand. A devastating chase ensues, causing instability in the cave. The three friends get out in time but are nearly caught by Nettlebrand puncturing the wall of ice between them, only for the metal monster and his minion Gravelbeard (one of the dwarves we met earlier) to fall into the void. Having escaped it, they land in front of a staircase going up to the top. During the climb, Sorrel apologizes to Ben for having doubted him and also for having pushed him out of the hill but the orphan is no longer angry with her. It doesn't take long for the trio to enter ancient ruins where they find no trace of the entrance to the Rim of Heaven. With Nettlebrand getting closer and closer, Ben insists he gets out of here but faced with Firedrake's refusal, the human ends up declaring that the Rim of Heaven never existed before abandoning the dragon and the brownie.
Left to their fate, Sorrel repeats one last time that she said never to trust humans, something Firedrake finally agrees with. Nettlebrand's voice begins to echo, causing the duo to go into hiding before the monster arrives but Firedrake decides to fight in the name of all the dragons against Nettlebrand. The young dragon is quickly in bad shape as he can only dodge the attacks of his opponent while Sorrel is angry to see Ben again who remembered the prophecy saying that when the Rim of Heaven is discovered the money will beat it. 'gold, apparently meaning that as Firedrake is a silver dragon he can beat Nettlebrand. Sorrel then informs the human of Firedrake's ridiculous belief that he can only breathe fire with Ben on his back. Once Firedrake is in Nettlebrand's clutches, Sorrel bravely rushes at the metal creature just to be easily knocked back with a flick. Sorrel can only watch helplessly as Nettlebrand nearly devours Ben, which finally allows Firedrake to spit out a mighty bluish fire that melts the dastardly Nettlebrand.
Nettlebrand devastated, Ben checks to see if Sorrel is okay and takes a punch in the face from her for deserting them earlier. Despite this victory, the dragon and the brownie are unhappy because their quest came to nothing. However, Sorrel notices a relic in the molten remains of Nettlebrand and embeds it in a form on a statue, activating a secret entrance. The trio pass the entrance and finally arrive at the Rim of Heaven. Although delighted, Sorrel and Firedrake notice Ben's sudden sadness because he doesn't feel out of place here or with other humans since his parents died, Sorrel comforts him especially by saying that not all humans are bad. The adventure ended; the trio resumed their journey.
After dropping off Ben, Firedrake and Sorrel return home just before the workers arrive at the shrine. Sorrel happily reunites with her parents and then shows the luminescent flowers of the Rim of Heaven as proof that they have found the mythical place. All Dragons and Brownies set off on their journey to the Rim of Heaven while Sorrel talks so much about Ben to her family on the way. The next day and as it passes over Professor Greenbloom's enchanted creature pool where Ben now lives, Sorrel and Firedrake wave to their first human friend as 'they fly towards the horizon.
==Trivia==
*Sorrel is often mistakenly viewed as the tritagonist but that's not true as she has appeared from the start and has appeared on scenes as much as Ben. She is also much more concerned with Firedrake while Ben has been very rough with the dragon. It should also be noted that despite some wrongdoing in her behavior, Sorrel is a much better person than Ben.
*Although she is a Brownie, Sorrel and her familly are nothing like the Brownies depicted in folklore.
*She has youngest brownie syndrome, which is a disorder probably only found in Brownies.
