Sonia is a member of Griffith's reformed Band of the Hawk and one of his most devoted followers. Her parents were killed when the Kushans invaded her village, and she spent time as their prisoner before Griffith and his apostles mounted a rescue operation that freed her along with others.
What sets Sonia apart is her almost unsettling composure. Surrounded by nightmarish circumstances that would break most people, she remains eerily calm and fearless, seemingly delighted by her new life with the Hawks. She's got a childish crush on Griffith that makes her jealous of Charlotte, and this infatuation is intensified by her clairvoyant abilities, which strengthen when she's near him.
Her clairvoyance proves useful to the Hawks' operations. She can sense emotions and catch glimpses of the future, giving the group real tactical advantages. She's built friendships with both Schierke and Irvine—she met Schierke in Vritanis and had a vision of them meeting again, imagining Schierke as an owl and herself as a kite dancing in a moonlit forest. Her bond with the typically reserved Irvine runs surprisingly deep.
Fans often note that Sonia serves as a clear mirror to Casca: both were saved by Griffith, and both fell for him. The contrast between how each character handles that history is part of what makes them interesting foils.
