### Status

Alive

Sonya was found in Whispering Woods, and later adopted by a couple who founded a new kingdom called Whispering Kingdom. She was never fond of the so-called "royal manners". She always wanted to explore the rest of Etheria and find someone who really understood her, but she was not allowed to go outside the woods which made her even more rebellious. She wasn't liked towards her peers, but she cared more about improving her fighting skills and orientation in the field so she didn't worry about it too much. The only friend she had at the time was Nymphessa, but they once quarreled a lot and Nymphessa called her a "loser" and "the only orphan in the kingdom". Sonya then attacked her friend. After the fight Sonya was isolated from the world. On her sixteenth birthday, she fled the kingdom because she didn't want to be someone she was forced to be. Since then, she has defended the woods as best she can.

# Relatives

### Nymphessa

Sonya and Nymphessa met when they were six years old. When her peers mocked and laughed at Sonya, Nymphessa stood by her side and never left her side once. Both were very different what united them so much, Nymphessa was always the one who followed all the rules and Sonya was a rebel and opposed everything. They were like sisters to each other... until they were thirteen. The girls quarrelled and Nymphessa called Sonya a "loser" and "the only orphan in the kingdom" which provoked her to attack. Sonya's parents found out about the quarrel and isolated their adopted daughter from the world. Sonya and Nymphessa have not seen each other since. Sonya took it very hard because it was her only friend and she had a bit of a crush on her.

### King Morro and Queen Daia

King Morro and Queen Daia differed in their methods of upbringing, but this did not change their relationship with their adopted daughter. Morro always taught her to be strong and brave, he taught her to be independent, and Daia taught her to be kind and honest, as well as responsible. However, Sonya's character was rather affected by her father's teachings. Sonya loved her parents very much and wanted very much to prove to them that she was worthy of them. After an argument between Sonya and Nymphessa, they began to come to the conclusion that their adopted daughter was not self-controlled. Since then they have tried to make Sonya learn to control her emotions by starting with isolation. They became tougher on her, which broke Sonya down more. They thought they were doing the right thing until their adopted daughter ran away.
