Appearance
- This section, or a part of it, has been transcluded from Sonia; any changes involving it should be made there instead. /
Sonia is a slender young woman with fair skin, ginger hair in a large ponytail, and turquoise eyes. She wears a tan-colored trench coat with four buttons, a teal blouse, and light blue skinny jeans. For accessories, she wears a watch on her right hand, orange sunglasses, a black purse with a white heart, and four white heart-shaped hair decorations. On her feet, she wears black and turquoise high-heeled boots with white hearts. She also wears very long turquoise acrylic nails.
After succeeding her grandmother's place as a professor, Sonia wears a white lab coat that she receives from her grandmother. She keeps the coat open, which reveals that her blouse is actually a crop top (thus showing off some of her belly as a result).
Personality
Sonia is an amiable young lady who is extremely fond of cute Pokémon. She shows fondness by tugging the Pokémon's ears. She is a relatively bad driver, though she refuses to admit such a fact. Although finding her grandmother strict, she still diligently follows her teachings so she can learn how to be a professor in the future.
Biography
Sonia was childhood friends with Leon. They used to be very close and she taught him knowledge about Pokémon. However, she and Leon began to drift apart after the latter became an excellent Trainer and later Champion. Wanting to stay with her grandmother, she decided to train with the aim to become a Professor.
Pokémon Journeys: The Series
Sonia overheard Ash and Goh's proclaiming of Leon being a hero, and mumbled to herself about it, which the boys overheard. Sonia explained to the two Trainers about the golden statue behind them, which was modeled after the hero who stopped the Darkest Day. As Ash introduced himself and his Pikachu, Sonia became infatuated with him, gushing over Pikachu caressing his ears, despite Pikachu's annoyance, and subsequently caressed Raboot's ears, is just as enamored with the Rabbit Pokémon. She then properly introduced herself as Professor Magnolia's assistant and granddaughter and explained that it was her homework to study the Darkest Day.[1]
Sonia watched shooting Wishing Stars with Goh as both were surprised with each other.[2] Chairman Rose's henchmen began to chase her. Shortly after, accompanied with Goh, she went to the Turffield geoglyph to speculate about the Darkest Day. While heading to Wedgehurst, she told Goh she was childhood friends with Leon and introduced Pokémon battling to him. Shortly upon reaching Wedgehurst, she created and gave a Dynamax Band to Goh and conversed with Professor Magnolia about her findings on the Darkest Day. Then, she went to the Stow-on-Side mural with Goh. After its shattering due to a Gigantamax battle, she noticed legendary statues on its back.[3]
Sonia had acquired the names of the Pokémon depicted on the statues, Zacian and Zamazenta, and uncovered more of the hero legend from Goh's suppositions until Chairman Rose's agents attacked. Consequently, she, with Goh, escaped to the Slumbering Weald. After the Darkest Day had been brought upon Galar, the explorers' focus shifted to ceasing the Darkest Day. They called the legendary Pokémon, which appeared, but, shortly after, absconded in fog. After following them, Sonia, with Goh, encountered and collected the Rusted Sword and Rusted Shield. Afterward, Sonia, with Goh, infiltrated Hammerlocke Stadium, the source of the Darkest Day. She told him to help Ash; because of this, she separated with Goh. She was faced with four of Chairman Rose's guards, where she showed confidence to fight alone, but Raihan appeared and defended her.[4]
While Dynamax Cannon was provoking an earthquake in Hammerlocke Stadium, Sonia showed confusion and said the event was unbelievable. After the earthquake's subsidence, she briefly thanked Raihan, showed happiness from his compliments, and waved him goodbye before focusing on stopping the Darkest Day. She ran toward the Tower Summit, in which she encountered Leon on its corners and defended against weaker Dynamax Cannon, worriedly. Leon had wanted to battle against Eternatus, but she impeded him. She, with Leon, showed surprise upon viewing Zacian and Zamazenta transform, and she was impressed with the potential of the Rusted Sword and the Rusted Shield. Shortly before the legendary dogs' ultimate attack on Eternatus, she and Leon also showed surprise. After the battle, she and Leon complimented Ash and Goh on their efforts. She shortly grew skeptical and then happy with the duo's response, the true heroes were Zacian and Zamazenta.
Lastly, Sonia was seen as a Pokémon Professor. She told Professor Magnolia she did not localize Chairman Rose, but Leon was searching for him. Magnolia said she was expecting Sonia to be successful in her career. Sonia showed her lab coat and happily replied she would persevere to maintain it white and free of impurities.[5]
