Sonniel was the crown prince of Ferroburgh, and has an older twin named Morell. After giving the throne to his twin he fled to Dunkrel under a new name and eventually started the guild Nightmodo with Anya.

## Personality

He was often hostile since he wanted to distance himself from his old meek personality. He tried really hard not to be a pushover. He thought that he was manipulated and used because he was too kind, and that if he was harsh and mean he wouldn't be hurt again. He had a lot of run ins and fights with other guilds, and when he did he was aggressive and unwavering, and didn't let his younger age stop him from getting what he wanted. He also enjoyed bossing people around for the thrill of being in control. Even around his friends, hes rather harsh. He often snaps at them, getting mad when they mess something up or don't do what he says.

He also loves fighting. After feeling weak during his childhood, he felt a thrill whenever he overpowered someone. He frequently trained with his magic, often to the point of overexerting himself. He often challenged others to duels, and whenever he lost, he was sure to train for a rematch to try and best them. He was competitive and hated when anyone beat him at anything in general. If he doesn't think he can win a challenge, he refuses to take it on, saying it's a "waste of time". He also loved taking on jobs that involved taking down hostile monsters, the stronger they were the better. He preferred doing it alone because he thought that proved he was stronger, and got irritated if someone joined in because he saw that as stealing his thunder. "Kill stealers" annoy him to no end.

Since he doesn't have faith in his own judgement and intelligence, he has trouble thinking for himself. So he has to get someone else to do his thinking for him. He finds one person he trusts and constantly goes to them for advice, and gets stressed and overwhelmed if he's separated from that person for too long.

He has C-PTSD from his adoptive father's abuse. This causes flashbacks at times, the biggest trigger being hugs due to how often martin hugged him. He is also incredibly uneasy when someone shows romantic interest in him, going into a dissociative rage whenever he realizes he's being flirted with. To try and deter others from being interested in him, he puts up a nasty, mean-spirited front, and does little to care for himself beyond basic hygiene, such as letting his hair get messy and long. Unfortunately this backfired due to many being attracted to his 'bad boy' persona, much to his frustration. He's also wary of middle-aged men and goes out of his way to avoid being alone with them.

He also has BPD, so he has trouble controlling his emotions and intense mood swings. Because of his intense self hatred, he sometimes cut himself, but after Anya worried about him so much he almost completely stopped. As previously mentioned, he doesn't have much faith in his own judgement and relies on someone else, being his FP, for guidance. He does everything he can to prevent his FP from abandoning him, but also sometimes has mood swings where he becomes frustrated with them. He has little to no impulse control, and sometimes does destructive things on impulse such as getting drugs. His BPD also gives him general feelings of anxiety, stress, and depression. After the story though, he gets therapy for his symptoms and his mental health gradually gets drastically better.

He also has ADHD which is why he didn't do very well in his tutor lessons as a child. It made him generally inattentive and forgetful, which made him believe he was stupid. But after learning how to be kinder to himself, he was able to come to the conclusion that he wasn't stupid, just different. And as an adult he learned to manage his symptoms and function better.
