Likes:
Books - If knowledge is power, then Sonata has plenty of that. She is constantly seen with a book, whether she’s reading it or not. That said… if she gets bored, even in a conversation, she might find herself opening up a book and ‘multitasking’ a bit.
Energy drinks - Some people wonder if Sonata ever sleeps. That’s probably because she’s prone to hyping herself up on energy drinks and staying up far too late. And when she’s tired in the morning… well, she drinks another one. She has plenty of time to make up for it on Saturdays.
Caterpillars - Odd as this might seem, Sonata has a weakness for caterpillars. She doesn’t consider them bugs at all, and finds them fascinating to observe as as they crawl around.
Dislikes:
Sleeping - Sonata hates going to sleep. When she does, she has nightmares about her past regularly, and she avoids it the best she can, always claiming to have to study or something.
Meat - Sonata has a great distaste for meat. It isn’t that she thinks its wrong to eat animals… she just can’t stand it for some reason. Even she doesn’t really understand, truth be told.
Insects - Sonata is terrified of insects. Though showing emotion isn’t her greatest talent, it’s obvious when she’s spotted a bug, as she’ll be focused on it before just about anything else.
Overall Personality: Quiet, withdrawn, and intelligent are the most common words people use when they talk about Sonata. She isn’t shy, and she certainly has no trouble keeping up a conversation, but she finds books a lot more interesting than people. That said, she’s a great multitasker, and can even understand a book she is reading while holding up a conversation, without ever looking up. Sonata is relatively serious, though she has a certain dry wit that not everyone appreciates. She doesn’t care as long as she amuses herself. Sonata is serious about her studies to become a Huntress, though she never actually says why. She is probably one of the more knowledgeable students in Syne for her age, and as a result she is often the teacher’s pet. She lacks in muscle, however, and prefers to avoid stand-up fights.

History and Sample
- History:
- Sonata was born to a relative average family, right in the city of Bellmuse. She has lived in the area most of her life, and would know it like the back of her thumb… if she had gotten out more as a child. For most of her young life, she was into literature of all kinds, reading fiction and nonfiction alike. Her parents often told young Sonata to get out and play with other kids, but she only did when she was made to.
When she became about thirteen, Sonata started teaching herself how to use what is now her signature weapon: A katar she hand-made after reading a book on weapon design. Though she has always been physically frail, she actually became rather adept at using the katar she created. Spending so much time alone at her house meant she had a lot of time to practice what she’d read.
About two years ago, however, Sonata’s family was attacked by Grimm in the night, an Ursa of unusual size tearing through their house like it was paper. Sonata woke up, running to the commotion to check on her family just in time to see both of her parents mauled by the great bear. In a panic, she ran, and didn’t stop until she was physically tackled by the guards in Bellmuse. She would never speak of what happened, even to them. The events were too traumatic for her young mind to handle.
She remembered what had happened however, in great detail. She also knew she didn’t want it to happen to anyone else again. Using her vast knowledge, she gained entrance to Syne Academy, and now trains to become a Huntress and protect others from her family’s fate. She is still often found with her nose in a book, though she is undoubtedly a talented huntress when she lowers her book to demonstrate her skills.
- RP Sample:
- Sonata’s nose was buried in a book as she walked down a hallway, as usual. The fact that she seemed oblivious to what was going on around her was hardly surprising. The fact that she so easily avoided bumping into the young man who was shoved backwards into her was more surprising. She looked up at the bullies who were picking on the young faunus boy who was on the ground next to her, her face nearly expressionless. Her emotions didn’t match her face or her tone, however.
“You should leave the boy alone,” she told the bullies as her book snapped shut. “I suggest you go to your classes before you’re late.” When the bullies refused, however, she lowered the book and reached into the belt pouch she always wore, pulling out a vial of purple Dust. “That’s too bad,” she told the cocky bullies. “I’ve been waiting to try this new technique on something. I suppose you’re the lucky candidates.”
