At the helm of Rustport's famous Carmine Whispers gang stands Sonja, a respected and feared leader. Like the rose pinned to her chest, she is both beautiful and deadly. Today, let's uncover the mystery of this aloof yet graceful figure and see how she commands the battlefield with both wisdom and strength.
Deep-Seated Grief
Sonja and Nara, though not related by blood, shared a bond stronger than family. As orphans in the dangerous, gang-ridden city of Rustport, they fought to survive together. Nara resented their harsh existence, but Sonja chose to endure, determined to build a better future for them both. That resolve was put to the test during a shipwreck, where Sonja made a choice that would haunt her forever—she let go of Nara's hand when her sister was on the brink of death. When Sonja was rescued and returned to Rustport, she joined the Carmine Whispers in a bid to change her fate. Under Tesio's mentorship, she rose swiftly through the ranks. When Tesio finally pinned the rose—symbolizing power—onto her chest, Sonja felt neither joy nor sorrow, only quiet exhaustion.
Port Master
After taking control of the Carmine Whispers, Sonja worked hard to restore order in Rustport, ensuring that orphans had access to education and regular meals. Her composed, unyielding demeanor commands respect, causing most of her subordinates to avoid meeting her gaze—except for Lucca. Each morning, Sonja picks a rose and places it by her bedside, a ritual that honors her past. Often, she stands high above the port, watching the ships, the bustling crowds, the children at play, and even the local troublemakers. From this vantage point, she seems to catch glimpses of her own destiny.
Sonja's Skills
As a formidable leader and warrior, Sonja's skills embody her commanding presence and distinctive combat style on the battlefield.
Tempest Thrusts
Sonja's Ultimate, Tempest Thrusts, allows her to deliver multiple Piercing Strikes on enemies in a designated area, each dealing substantial damage. She then charges to the far end of the struck area, dealing damage to all enemies within the area again. While casting this skill, Sonja is immune to all control effects, demonstrating her unparalleled presence in battle.
Stunning Reception
When Sonja casts Stunning Reception, she spins, slashing nearby enemies twice with her cloak and stunning them. This skill allows her to seize control of the battle while providing her allies with a prime opportunity to strike.
Crimson Covenant
As the leader of the Carmine Whispers, Sonja activates Crimson Covenant at the start of a battle, linking herself to two allies and instantly boosting their ATK as well as Phys & Magic DEF. These bonuses gradually stack over time until reaching their limit. If either ally falls, Sonja absorbs their accumulated stat bonuses, permanently enhancing her own power for the rest of the battle and helping her avenge her fallen allies.
Unbreakable Bond
Sonja's Exclusive Skill, Unbreakable Bond, permanently enhances Crimson Covenant after she casts her first Ultimate. The bond with her allies will no longer be removed even if one of them falls, and Sonja benefits from the stat bonuses while her bonded allies are alive. This strengthens their connection, making them an even more formidable force on the battlefield.
Ending Remarks
Sonja exudes authority and strength with every move, maintaining control with a calm and sharp mind. Under her firm leadership, the Carmine Whispers have a promising future ahead. Let us admire her power and charisma in battle!
