“	Quite the clever one, aren't you? ...It's a bit infuriating. Still, I'll wager your friends are seldom bored. Maybe I'll just have to join up and see. If there's room for one more, that is?	”	— Sonya to Celica

Sonya (Japanese: ソニア Sonya) is a mage appearing in Fire Emblem Gaiden. She is a member of Grieth's pirates, and is recruited at Grieth's Citadel if she is not killed by Celica.

She is one of the children of Jedah, along with her older sisters Marla and Hestia.^[2]

Fire Emblem Gaiden

Role

She appears in the Northern Desert, under the forced employ of Grieth, and is recruited if Celica decides to fight Deen. Both her and Deen hate Grieth, but they also seem to have their own disagreements, preventing either from doing anything about Grieth.^[3] After Deen is killed Sonya retreats to Grieth's Fortress and is recruited after his death; being happy to lend her strength to the ones that dethroned Grieth.

If Celica fights her, she perishes in the desert.

Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia

Role

Sonya has a slightly different story role in Echoes: Shadows of Valentia compared to Gaiden. Sonya is a mercenary hired by Grieth, and like Deen, has no particular loyalty to the man. If Celica bypasses her, she chooses not to aid Grieth in defending the citadel.^[4] There is no mention of Deen and Sonya keeping each other in check. Sonya joins Celica's group after Grieth's defeat because she thinks their escapades will be an interesting adventure for her.^[5]

After this Sonya has no particular story prescence aside from her battle quote with Jedah in act 4.

If Celica decides to fight Sonya instead of Deen, Sonya perishes in the desert like in Gaiden.

Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

Unfortunately, Sonya's black magic spell pool has been reduced from her Gaiden appearance, losing Seraphim and Sagittae, two powerful spells. The loss of Seraphim is particularly painful due to its utility on the terror-filled enemy loadouts of Celica's journey. She still starts with Excalibur, making her a fair critical hit dealer immediately upon recruitment. Unfortunately, her starting level is too low for her to promote in a reasonably quick amount of time. Her learned magic upon becoming a priestess gives her some interesting utility in Entrap and Rewarp, however her low joining level means she will likely not reach them without grinding. She is also stuck with 4 move through the swamps of Act 4, which means she will struggle to get to where she wants. She also has to compete with Deen for recruitment, who has a better class for Act 4, is closer to promotion, and has better base stats. Ultimately, Sonya struggles to make a mark due to joining underleveled and not having too great of a long-term, and while she can help out and kill enemies the same can be said for the vast majority of units in Shadows of Valentia.

Fire Emblem Heroes

Role

There are three different variations of Sonya available to Heroes, all tied to her appearance in Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. The normal variation of Sonya is one of the characters added to the game in the Bitter Enemies update, and became available for summoning by players on July 13, 2017. A spring variation of Maria was made available between the period of March 8, 2022 through April 8, 2022 as part of the summoning event surrounding the Hop-and-Go-Seek update; this variation is a Harmonized Hero paired with Tharja, and carries a dual-credit with Awakening as such. A rearmed variation of Sonya, based on her appearance as an Enchantress, was first made available to summon from October 16 to November 6 of 2023.

Personality

Sonya grew up in a priory with her sisters,^[6] though this tired her of piousness and she generally avoids such activities in her adulthood.^[7]^[8] It is unclear when she left the priory and became separated from her sisters. She has a deep-seated hatred of her father, Jedah,^[6] due to him being responsible for transforming Marla and Hestia, Sonya's elder sisters, into witches.^[2] Sonya has always chosen to live on her own desires, to which Hestia is somewhat jealous of, ^[9] and to the disapproval of her father.^[10] Sonya appears to still miss her sisters, if she falls in battle her final thoughts are of them.^[11]

Even after her sister's deaths in the battle against Duma, Sonya searched extensively for a way to return witches to normal. It is unknown if she ever found a way to do this, as she vanished to an ambiguous fate.^[12]

Sonya appreciates her appearance, though not to an exaggerated or narcissistic degree.^[13]

Endings

Gaiden

Her two older sisters, Marla and Hestia, had been reborn as witches to be sacrificed to Duma... Sonya would never forgive their father Jedah for making his three daughters into sacrifices.

Echoes: Shadows of Valentia

Sonya's search for a cure for women turned into witches took her across the land. Her trail ended in a remote region, after which she was never seen again. Rumors fly, however, that shortly thereafter a new witch took up residence in Nuibaba's abode on Fear Mountain.

“	Sonya: Jedah! Jedah: Well, if it isn't Sonya. Sonya: You've no idea how long I've waited for this day. You stole the lives of my sisters and cursed them to become witches! I will avenge them with your blood! Jedah: Their souls were offered to Duma freely, and both received endless bliss in turn. Only a fool would refuse to see a truth so plain. You are a burden to your wise sisters, and I shall relieve them of it now!	”	— Jedah to Sonya in act 4 of Echoes: Shadows of Valentia

Other appearances

Fire Emblem Gaiden (manga)

Sonya appears in the Gaiden manga with an initially similar role to her Gaiden appearance, though she is given a comparatively large amount of dialogue and story presence compared to the original Gaiden.

On their journey through the desert, Palla tells Celica about Grieth's two bodyguards, Sonya and Deen. Palla mentions that Sonya and her two sisters were cursed to be witches. Celica decides to fight Deen. During the battle against him Sonya appears, and asks Deen if he's trying to steal her glory again. Deen reminds her that both of them have orders to kill Celica anyway. Sonya then attacks Boey and Mae.

Later, Grieth appears and asks what is taking Sonya and Deen so long to defeat Celica. Grieth also takes the opportunity to attack Deen and Sonya; he had been looking for an opportunity to get rid of the two of them. Deen takes the blow from Grieth for Sonya and dies. Celica, during the distraction, finishes Grieth. Sonya takes Deen's death hard, and mourns him.

After Celica's group arrives at Mila's Temple Sonya tells Celica about Jedah, who resides in the Duma Tower, and that he is likely the one to have Mila. After entering Lost Treescape Sonya tells Celica more about Jedah and her sisters, Marla and Hestia; they were all devout followers of Duma. However, Duma changed, and corrupted his followers, driving Jedah mad and eventually killing Marla and Hestia. Sonya says she'll pray for them when everything is over; she also thanks Celica for showing her that she could change her own fate.

Vengeful Mage Dazzling Rabbits Beautiful Mage

Sonya: Vengeful Mage

Sonya is a powerful mage who comes from the continent of Valentia! She's self-assured, composed, elegant, charismatic… She definitely seems like a Hero you can look up to.

Originally, Sonya was in the employ of Grieth, the ringleader of Zofia's pirates and brigands. After Grieth's defeat by Celica, Sonya abandoned the villain's ranks and joined Celica instead.

Sonya originally had two sisters, but they were lost to her after the priest Jedah sacrificed their souls to Duma, transforming them into witches.

Looking for an opportunity to exact her revenge on Jedah, Sonya joined Celica's battle against the Duma Faithful. Will she ever get the vengeance she desires?

Sonya: Dazzling Rabbits

Askr's spring festival is a special occasion where everyone gets together and dresses up to wish for a bountiful harvest. This year we're joined by Sonya, a Valentian mage, and Tharja, a dark mage from Plegia!

And wouldn't you know it, the two have come dressed as a pair of truly bewitching bunnies! I never realized that rabbits could be quite so glamorous!

To continue the theme, they're also carrying a birdcage that contains a rabbit and a rather mysterious-looking egg. I wonder what will hatch from it…

All eyes are going to be on Sonya and Tharja this spring festival as they enchant the crowd with their fabulous sense of style. You don't think they're planning to steal the show, do you?

Sonya: Beautiful Mage

Sonya, the mage from Valentia, has gained new power through her battles in Askr!

And she's gained a dignified new look too: a jet-black robe, detailed with an entwined-serpent design on the back, and fabric hanging elegantly from the shoulders!

Of course, her outfit isn't the only thing that's changed. She also has a new tome, Caliburnus, which summons powerful winds that slice through all who oppose her!

The new Sonya is more deadly and bewitching than ever before. I'm just glad she's on our side!
