Personality: Sonia is a bit different than the usual ten-year-old girls that one may see around Mosaic City. Appearances aside, the first thing that one will notice when speaking to the girl is her rather noticeable Slavic accent. Though one would easily notice it, her speech is thankfully still easily understood to anyone who can speak English. Other than her usually cheerful and lively attitude, that is all one may learn about this girl from a brief conversation. In other words, most will likely see a lively, little foreign girl who is completely sound of mind. Thankfully, this is at least half true.
Given the girl's environment growing up, whether it be how she was raised, her culture, how she was taught, special circumstances, or something that was simply genetic, Sonia turned out quite a bit different than one would anticipate. Compared to other girls her age who enjoy being cute, doing cute things, and trying to be noticed by boys, this girl puts a great deal of focus into becoming “manly” and “cool” by her own definition. As for dreams and aspirations? Most girls have simple dreams of getting married, having kids, becoming a princess, or some other simple job. Instead, Sonia is on the complete opposite spectrum of this ideology. Rather than being “the wife” or “a princess,” Sonia wishes to become the Epitome of Manliness. This goal would involve a number of things of course. Above all, the first thing that would entail would be other people recognizing her as the Epitome of Manliness. Simple enough. However, it does not stop there. The manliest person needs more than recognition, else they would be all talk of course! Someone who is recognized as the manliest needs the power to back it up. How the girl wishes to obtain adequate “power” to call herself such alludes even her. And last but not least, what is the manliest person without a harem to fawn over her? Yes. Young Sonia wishes to obtain a harem of young girls (boys are fine too) to top off her pedestal of power and recognition. But more importantly, she needs them to bear her children; or so she believes is going to be the case. (Though she understood the “sex” portion in her sex-ed classes, she seemed to miss the bit on “who can impregnate who.”) It probably goes without saying that Sonia is somewhat ambitious. Of course, one mustn't just look at this girl's goals to truly define her. Yes, even if one should learn this much about her, there is still much more to this young girl.
It goes without saying that the girl is quite intelligent for her age thanks to her private training and education. Her resourcefulness and quick thinking are two of her greatest assets that had been honed during her years of training. These skills were naturally accompanied by a calm mind which prevents her from panicking or getting scared. In fact, the girl considers a great deal of what she saw in her training to be much scarier than anything she sees “in the field.” Complimenting these valuable traits is the girl's high affinity for working with others. Whether it be running an operation herself, (something she has done in the past) taking orders from the higher-ups, or simply working together with a team, Sonia sets the standard for teamwork.
Boasting an extremely high tolerance for pain which she seemed to display as far as she can remember, Sonia can usually be found on the front lines of a fight in hopes of taking the majority of the attacks. Having been trained to not be afraid or to hesitate even in the toughest situations, young Sonia has no qualms with such a dangerous spot in battle. If anything, the girl hopes that she gives off the idea of manliness with such actions. Protecting her teammates is also important of course.
Putting all of her oddities and strange exceptions due to her unique childhood circumstances, Sonia is still a young girl at heart. When she's not on the battlefield, the girl seems like a bit of an airhead. She may occasionally forget simple things, misinterpret conversations, or have jokes go right over her head. She is prone to various misunderstandings thanks to this. The girl can be somewhat clumsy as well. For example, while possessing Olympic level stamina trained from a very young age, it isn't uncommon for her to fall over while on a light jog. And while her pain tolerance has been noted as remarkable, a simple flick on the forehead is enough to make her tear up. But the important thing to note is that despite all of these seemingly vulnerable traits, the girl maintains an unwavering, confident image no matter how unfitting it may seem. She also possesses a hearty, loud laugh; which comes out as “”Bwahaha” or “Gahaha.”
However, just because things go over her head quite easily doesn't mean that the girl isn't capable of some wit herself. Her personal training involved all aspects that were deemed important for her overall directive. Naturally, this included social prowess of many kinds. She is capable of a few snappy one-liners or some quick retorts. If you want an easy and very accurate idea of what her “social prowess” training was based on, see James Bond.
Funnily enough, though Sonia wishes to become the epitome of manliness and even wishes to establish her own harem, she may just as easily be charmed by someone who displays intense manliness themselves. This would involve a nearly complete turnaround personality-wise for her as she would enter the state of a love-struck ten year old girl, completely dismissing her previous goals of “control and conquer” for “bear this person's children.” Well, at least until she gets over it and returns to her old self, assuming she does. Nevertheless, Sonia is still quite serious about her own personal ambitions and works hard at whatever she sets off to do.
Likes: Fishing, Bitter Foods, Tea, Frisbee, Canine Companions, Heavy Clothing, Anything Manly, Anything Helpless(something she wants to protect; possible harem additions)
Dislikes: Anything that Deters Teamwork, Needles, Getting Cock-blocked, Sweet Foods
History: Sonia's early life began in the cold, river-filled areas of Belarus in the Ukraine. Her life up to about eighteen months old was fairly normal; at least, compared to the next nine or so years anyway. A good portion of it was spent outside on her father's small fishing boat which he took out on the weekends at a lake just outside his workplace, a nuclear power plant. Sonia's parents were both very, very important people. Her father was an ex-Spetsnaz commander who later went into the nuclear engineering field shortly after retirement. He was a stout, burly man with an exceptional amount of muscle. Despite him reaching his later years, the man maintained amazing physical strength, dexterity and endurance. He was actually quite scary at first glance. However, beyond his scary exterior is a rowdy, fun-loving man who simply enjoys fishing and spending time with his daughter. Sonia's mother was a Spetsnaz spy who undertook various types of missions; most of them covert operations. In a stark contrast to her husband, Sonia's mother had a no-nonsense attitude and always focused on getting things done. Funnily enough, her cute, small-framed physique gave off the impression who was easy to get along with. Naturally, it was quite the opposite. The two ex-agents made quite a pair in that regard.
Sonia's mother did a bit more work than spy work, of course. Over the course of her career, she managed to get involved with other organizations, resulting in her receiving a persona at some point. Just before Sonia was even conceived, a large majority of the woman's work was shadow and persona-based. After becoming pregnant however, spy work had to go in favor of a full-time sit down job with the Bureau. This did not change even after Sonia was born. The two parents agreed that a safer and more stable life would be good when raising their daughter.
Going back to young Sonia's life of fishing with her father, things changed around the time she was nearing two years old. Her parents had been given a proposition from the Bureau to train their daughter who had two exceptional parents to be a persona-user. This special training was a highly experimental program dubbed “Ego Acceleration Training” (EAT). Humans need a concrete thinking process in order to not only understand rules, right from wrong, and other social norms. But more importantly, concrete thinking processes are where humans are able to not only understand such ideals, but allow themselves to determine which ones they believe in and which they wish to deny. In other words, this training was made to accelerate young Sonia's “identity.” Her parents were more than fine with the idea, knowing what it would involve ahead of time. And just like that, Sonia's path in life had taken a drastic turn from the norm.
The ego training was rather simple, involving little tests and quizzes disguised as games. She had honestly enjoyed them quite a bit and looks back fondly on the training as a happy time in her life. That isn't to say her rough got much harder, of course. Her ego training went rather well, establishing various ideas and concepts into the girl's mind. All of these things were neutral ideas, preventing her from being swayed any one way. She would pick her own path in life. In between this ego training, the girl underwent basic physical training as well to keep her fit for “the road ahead” as they would call it. It was kept simple since she did not possess a persona, but it was brutal. So brutal in fact, that “basic” and “simple” probably weren't the best ways to describe the training. The training was based on old Spetsnaz training, modified for someone her age. Nevertheless, the girl carried on throughout this brutal training. The extra training did not end there of course. In between all of this was normal schooling which took place in a pseudo-schooling environment that even had other children present. The girl was kept social, learning her necessities for life, took on modified Spetsnaz training, and was given special ego training. Her parents gave her support through all of this as well.
Around the age of five was when results were being expected from the girl. She had done quite well up to that point and was expected to receive her persona a bit earlier than previously anticipated. Her ego training up to that point had involved reading various philosophical and controversial works and discussing them with groups of children much older than her. At the tender age of five, young Sonia was considering various philosophical views on the world around her, listening to others views, and soon enough forming her own. Just a few months shy of her sixth birthday, Sonia received her first persona. The cause? It was a simple conflict that wasn't really noteworthy to neither the ones inducing her training or to Sonia. To her, it was just a simple fight that also involved receiving her persona, the thing which she had apparently been training the majority of her short life for. The conflict itself was a simple fight she had gotten into with one of the larger boys. The end result? The boy being slightly bruised and crying, and Sonia stomping off with a slightly satisfied expression.
Naturally, the girl's training was far from over. The Bureau was aware that there were higher levels of power that a user could reach and they liked what they had seen so far. Naturally, there were a few changes to the girl's training. She was taken out of her normal schooling in favor of classes filled with kids older than her. Funnily enough, the girl was more comfortable with the older children, finding them to be “much smarter than the babies.” Her Spetsnaz training was also dropped in favor of user training that was standard for persona users. It was much more dangerous than her previous training, given that users could endure much more than a normal human. And finally, her ego training was completely replaced with a time slot in her busy schedule simply labeled, “free time.” During her free time, the girl was free to do whatever she wanted, in hopes that she would develop hobbies, interests, and other sorts of quirks to add to her ego. In a way, this was a huge success.
Sonia spent a good deal of this free time with her father, whom she had remained close to throughout her life thus far. Both of her parents remained influential in her life during all of these years, in fact. Even then they were a close family. Though, it was clear to anyone who watched Sonia's development that she was taking quite a few life lessons from her father who was more than happy to pass them on. Of course, quite a few of these lessons were somewhat questionable. Her mother wasn't exactly thrilled about what her daughter was slowly becoming either. The result of this free time? A young girl who wanted to be just like the man that she looked up to. Or, at least what that man said was “what all true warriors strive for.” This was the foundation of the girl's soon to be obsession with manliness, her questionable sexual orientation(much to the dismay of her mother), and her lively personality. It was after these changes that life for the girl took a rather smooth turn.
Years passed, progress was made, and Sonia got older. Around age eight, the girl was soon sent on missions as support. As time went by, the girl got progressively stronger and even started to head a few small missions. Another simple incident during one of the bigger missions resulted in her receiving her second persona as well. It was at this time that the girl's training was considered a huge success, and subsequently, resulted in her “graduation” from the training. Acquiring elite status among the users, young Sonia was sent on many missions all while maintaining a carefree life with her small family. Of course, this is where the first legitimate problem in Sonia's life truly rose up. Her new assignment was to enter Mosaic City and assist in the dissolving of the barrier that blocks the city off. This naturally meant leaving her family until the mission was complete, which could take months. Nonetheless, the girl took up the mission with a proud but heavy heart. Saying her goodbyes to her family and friends, the girl set off for beyond the barrier. Being the optimistic person that Sonia's is though, she saw this as an opportunity. Perhaps this was where she would establish her position as the manliest? Perhaps this is where she would obtain her harem of women that would bear her children?(boys are fine too) Perhaps this is where her legend would begin? Only time would tell.
