Sorora

**Sorora** is a Celestial Dragon believed to be the progenitor of the dragon kin line.

## Appearance

Sorora is described as looking like a grown up version of Herb’s cursed form, but with a near overwhelming presence of power about her. However this body is an avatar: An advanced form of Homunculus. Think of it more as a very complex machine with its own will, but subordinate to the true Sorora's will. The real Sorora isn't even on Earth. She is likely deep in space up to her own things, merely using the Avatar to keep tabs on Earthly affairs in her absence. She has her own will, so she likely has significant spirit of her own, but it ultimately would be overruled by the true Sorora's direction should it come to it.

## Biography

Sorora has been an important adviser to the Dragon Clan historically; Herb’s predecessors have come to her for many things: military strategy, complex diplomatic negotiations, social reforms, legal issues, and various questions on the martial or mystical arts. She also seems to have an intimate connection with them as she was the who named Garlic, the current leader of the Musk, though he later changed it to Garnet. Garnet eventually forbade seeking out her aid claiming that she was a devious influence. Sorora had to sleep that one off for some time. By the time she woke up, Garnet was already in charge and running amok. During that time moved the Musk capital into the protected zone causing her power base to suffer.

Herb having no experience on how to court a woman ignored his fathers decree to seek her advice. Fortunately he caught her at a good time and she could respond immediately. Though Herb reminded Sorora far too much of his father in both appearance and attitude she decided to give her council. She was greatly amused when Herb asked her for advice on how to pursue Kasumi. After everything the Dragon Clan had asked her she found the complexity of dealing in a human relationship far more interesting. This was not something that she would just wave her hand and fix, something Herb was quick to assure her wasn’t expecting, even if he was hoping she could.

Sorora’s first piece of advice was to completely forget everything his father taught him, particularly about women. Her next piece of advice was that given who he was attempting to pursue he would have to give up his pride as a Musk. Herb didn’t understand what she was talking about, but she just replied that he would in time if he was serious. After telling him to stop referring to Shampoo as the Amazon she gave him a bit of homework for the next week tell her why Kasumi and Shampoo loved each other.

Having caught her attention and with nothing else to deal with Sorora decided to monitor Herb. Sorora watched the battle between Kasumi and Rose. When Kasumi defeated the later with Heaven's Ascension purifying her soul Sorora wondered out loud why she would show such mercy to the women who killed Shampoo. Kasumi delirious from exhaustion and thinking she hallucinating answered that it was the right thing to do and killing Rose wouldn't bring Shampoo back. Witnessing Kasumi’s remarkable conviction made Sorora see why Herb was so fond of her. With that she led Sailor Uranus towards them as well as out of the building.

She waited for Herb in his room, and while she was furious when she finally returned from the hospital, having attempted to contact her three times. Sorora was quick to remind the prince that she sets when they meet not her. After a moment of silence she informed the chastised Herb what she did, causing her to fumble out an apology which Sorora was quick to accept. The conversation moved to Kasumi while she was quite the interesting woman, her situation was equally as complicated. Sorora was worried that tying herself with Kasumi could get her in trouble with her father.

Herb however didn’t care which Sorora didn’t know weather this was an admirable quality, or just a sign of her foolishness. Sorora was planning to continue to keep an eye, but that didn’t mean she was going to be guarding her, much to Herb’s annoyance. She was more focused on the homework assignment she gave Herb, which she still had no idea where to start. Sorora didn’t expect a perfect answer, just a decent one. If she wanted to win Kasumi’s heart Herb needed learn empathy.

Later after Eyebright learned of Herb’s condition Sorora confronted him at Furinkan High School. He didn’t even bother to engage with her, as they both knew how the conversation would go. He did point out that she should support him as she wanted Garnet just as much as he did. Sorora explained how she was making headway with Herb, telling him that his actions would complicate things. While shocked that that Herb had contacted her. Eyebright still refused to back down, but he did assure her that he had no intention of harming him. While his action could undo all the progress she made Sorora concluded like Eyebright that this conversation was pointless.

Sorora returned to Herb, her reminding him that she couldn’t interfere didn’t make him any less annoyed by her presence given everything he had been through. She informed him that she talked to Eyebright on his behalf, though he remained intractable on the issue. Herb asked her about the organization and she told him what she knew, while warning him not to get to cozy with Grenda as there was a lot of politics involved in things. She did aleve some of his worries, pointing out that not only is the Organization unlikely to have another demon as powerful as the Rouge Youma. They also have no idea who killed her so wont come for revenge.

She also informed him that Eyebright had all of his fathers supporters under close watch. Unfortunately this did nothing to relieve Herb’s concerns as it implied that his father alone is enough of an opponent to keep Eyebright and his entire clan at bay till now. Sorora confirmed that Garnet was a lot more powerful then Herb suspected. Changing the subject she asked him if he had finished his homework.

After realizing what she was talking about Herb admitted that he didn’t have any answers. He knew that there was more to Kasumi and Shampoo’s relationship then just village law, he just didn’t know what. Luckily Sorora never expected him to find the answer she just him to improve his empathy. Sorora then told him that it was time for her to meet Kasumi. Sensing her departure Herb asked if she could teach him anything to help him protect Kasumi. She agreed to expand their agreement and impart some of her knowledge.

Something unexpected came up, causing opportunities for an introduction anytime soon to narrow considerably. So Sorora decided show up at the restaurant and introduce herself stating that she was a relative who has been advising Herb. Everyone’s attention was shifted to Herb when he arrived who was shocked to see her there as it had only been a day. Saying her goodbyes she left Herb explain who she was.

## Abilities

Sorora herself appears to be of the dragon clan as all members of the clan know how to instinctively summon her, but her exact status is unknown. She clearly is very powerful though, apparently able to read Herb's thoughts to a degree, and even threatened to blast him into the nearest star on their first encounter, a threat Herb believed legitimate.
