**Soren**is the main protagonist of the first six books or the *Guardians of Ga'Hoole*book series and the deuteragonist of the second half of the series and the main protagonist of the 2010 computer-animated film adaptation, *Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole*. He finally found the guardians, being guided by his dreams and by Soren's friends and his strong gizzard. Taught by the old screetch owl Ezylryb, Soren learns that wars are not glorious but rather, it is a manner of duty by doing what is right.

## Personality

Even when he was younger and an adult, Soren was always a dreamer and, according to Kludd, Soren was weak because he always "lived in his dreams," even when they confronted each other as enemies. However, it was actually his greatest strength, pointing this out during the battle he has with Kludd. He believed in his father's stories, and faith in the Guardians, and had little to no thought that they were just legends, such as his childhood-hero Lyze of Kiel and his nemisis, Metal Beak. This becomes clearly evident when he asks Grimble that they're real, with Grimble replying they do exist, just like Soren thought. Later, its proven true when he comes across King Boron and Queen Barran, the leaders of the Guardians. He even points out that while he had no proof that the Guardians were real, he still believed in them when most of them didn't believe that the Pure Ones' plans exist.

Soren is also an owl that does what's right and helps others. He also easily befriended others, such as Gylfie, Digger and Twilight. Unlike his brother, Soren truly didn't care who was who and believes in equality, being friends with owls outside his species. Before knowing the truth about war, Soren saw it as heroic when his father told them the bright side of the Battle of the Ice Claws. However, Soren learned that battle wasn't as glorious as he thought it was after reading The Chronicle of the Battle of the Ice Claws and after Ezylryb told Soren the real side of war: it's not beautiful, glorious or heroic: it's merely doing what's right, again and again, even after you've fought in so many battles and being scarred after much fighting.

Soren takes his relationship with his friends and family seriously and began valuing friendships with others. He easily befriended Gylfie, Digger and Twilight. They all gained respect for each other and went to fight many battles. He cared very much for his little sister. He was fiercely protective of his friends and would attack those who threatened his friends without hesitation and showed this by attacking Metal Beak for ruining his brother and him and Nyra attacking Ezylryb. When Soren realized that the Guardians were in danger and being led to a trap, he immediately caught on this action. and went to save them. When Digger fell to the sea, Soren immediately went down to save his friend but had extreme guilt when he thought Digger was embraced by the sea.

He also has a love for flying into storms and colliering and was very outspoken, wanting the Guardians to see that what he was saying was true. Soren did not want other young owls to suffer the same way Kludd did, and hated Metal Beak for ruining an innocent's and was against Pure One Supremacy. Later, Soren told his stories to owlets when they were his age, and keeps them inspired through them. However, he was very cautious about giving them what owls call "day-mares" (a play-on of the word "nightmare").

In the books, Soren was described as a good father towards his daughters, loved his nephew Coryn as a son, and a lover of the arts, like his wife, Pelli, who doted her husband.
