Status

DIVISION: Diplomacy
PROJECTS: TBD

Sonia lives in one of the private rooms in the mage tower, and if she's in her room she's usually working, painting, or sleeping. Sometimes when the weather is nice, she'll take her journal or canvas outside to work. When she goes to the mainland, it's most often just for a change of scenery or a bit of shopping. She spends quite a lot of her free time socializing, more often with a drink in her hand than not.

Reputation

• Currently (and reluctantly) tangled up in some increasingly hot family politics: those with a close ear to the ground with Fereldan politics will know that her Uncle Verus, the recently-ascended and rather temperamental Bann of Wildcrest, is heirless and that until he officially designates an heir of his own, Sonia is, technically, next in line for the title; those who know Sonia will know that she wants absolutely nothing to do with it
  
• Active in the Fereldan party circuit (though she's been less present in the last year) and is often at court representing her family
  
• Technically a diplomat, but to most she's known better as a terrific partier; always has the hookup and has thrown some pretty fantastic parties herself
  
• Absolute social butterfly, loves to chat and meet people and knows how to make connections
  
• Known to have a deceptively high alcohol tolerance; she is a professional
  
• Maintains a respectable image for the most part, but those a little more in the know will know that she has casual flings on the regular with people of all genders
  
• Always on top of the latest fashion trends; this lady knows how to dress
  
• Those with a political ear to the ground might know about the looming succession conflict in the Barra family, and that Sonia is (most unfortunately) at risk of being in the line of succession for her grandfather's title
  
• Lesser known as she is not an artist of any renown, but likes to paint as a hobby
  
• Long-time friends with professional lout Byerly Rutyer despite her otherwise good reputation and apparent good taste

Hooks

• Sonia loves to make friends! I would love for her to make some new friends and connections, both personal and political. She's always looking for a friend or two with benefits, too.
  
• ROMANCE AND DRAMA. Sonia loves to have a good time, but she is perpetually low-key afraid of catching real feelings for someone, and she doesn’t weather heartbreak well. Let’s get into messy feelings and rough breakups, my dudes*
  *Sonia is attracted to people of all genders, and, despite some of her apprehensions, her interest is certainly not limited to humans.
  
• SUCCESSION POLITICS. The line of succession in her family is looking a little murky, and Sonia, despite having 0 interest in inheriting her uncle's title, is squarely in the middle of it. If anyone wanted to get up in some bann family politics, there’s a whole lot to dig into.
  
• Challenge her worldview! Sonia considers herself a bit of a cosmopolitan, but she’s not quite as worldly as she thinks. Getting to know some non-humans and even more non-Fereldans would force her to rethink a few things.
  
• TEACH HER A THING OR TWO. Sonia still has a lot to learn in the political and diplomatic arena, and if anyone needs an apprentice or someone to mentor, Sonia’s your girl.
  
• Sonia loves pranks. She loves to one-up pranks. Who wants a prank war?
