### Appearance

Sonia is a slender young woman with fair skin, ginger hair in a large ponytail, and turquoise eyes. She wears a tan-colored trenchcoat with four buttons, a teal blouse, and light blue skinny jeans. For accessories, she wears a large black bracelet and gadget on her right hand, orange sunglasses, a black purse with a white heart, and four white heart-shaped hair decorations.

On her feet, she wears black and turquoise high-heeled boots with white hearts. She also wears turquoise nail polish. After succeding her grandmother's place as a professor, Sonia wears a white lab coat that she receives from her grandmother. She keeps the coat open, which reveals that her blouse is actually a crop top (thus showing off some of her belly as a result).

## Personality

Sonia is an enthusiastic and quite intelligent girl, aspiring to become a researcher, just like her grandmother, though a little distracted. She is a relatively bad driver, though she refuses to admit such a fact. Although finding her grandmother's discipline strict, she still diligently learns how to be a professor in the future. In the past, she was Leon's journey companion, but their relationship changed as Leon became closer to Chairman Rose.

Helpful and knowledgeable, Sonia provides practical advice to aid trainers on their journey. While she's a big sweetheart and is very friendly, she often gets exasperated by Leon's antics, especially his tendency to keep his head in the clouds. She also isn't afraid to speak her mind, as shown when she berates Sordward and Shielbert later on.

Sonia is an amiable young lady who is extremely fond of cute Pokémon. She shows fondness by tugging the Pokémon's ears. However, although she mostly has a mature exterior, Sonia actually doesn't mind acting childishly to those who are younger than her. While she was a participant of the Challenge Cup, she is slightly embarrassed when someone brings up that topic.

## History

### Past

#### Early Years

Many years before the events of the series, Sonia used to be a Trainer and was childhood friends with Leon. They used to be very close and she taught him knowledge about Pokémon. She was also Leon's rival during their Gym Leader and Elite Four Challenge, but she eventually dropped out and doesn't like to speak much about it ever since.

However, this seems to have bit her in the butt, as she and Leon began to drift apart after while Leon eventually grew to become an excellent Trainer and later a world famous celebrity and Champion. Wanting to stay with her grandmother, Sonia became little more than a glorified assistant and later decided to train with the aim to become a Pokémon Professor.

Ever since then, she has been trying to find out what she is good for and what she wants to do, albeit unsuccessfully.
