Training
Sonya is one of the first of a generation that have spent almost their whole lives under communism. At a young age, all Scandian children undergo mandatory aptitude testing to assess their suitability for a wide range of professions. Sonya scored very high in multiple areas, including magical aptitude and physical ability.
Ever since the success of Manta, nations around the world have had various "superagent" and "supersoldier" programs. Often, these programs involved some kind of technological or genetic enhancements. S/31 preferred to be more patient, get someone with potential at a young age, and train them. A lot.
Sonya doesn't remember her parents; she was taken from them and effectively raised by S/31. In addition to training in Scande itself, S/31 leveraged its relationships with other communist allies. Sonya was sent to the Merge League to undergo training in time magic. Her teachers commented that her mind was remarkably disciplined and focused; pre-requisites for mastery over one of the most demanding schools of sorcery. Time Magic grants her the ability to create local temporal distortions (Slow, Haste, and Stop) as well as control over physical forces such as light (Vanish) and gravity (Float, among others).
After completing her magic training, Sonya was sent to Eblan to learn Ninjitsu under Ichiro Mistuhama, the leader of the Eblanese communist movement. Ichiro, despite his communist sympathies, was initially reluctant to teaching Ninjitsu to someone who was not a member of house Mitsuhama. However, he was quite taken with Sonya, and decided to train her. Eventually, the two became secret lovers. Sonya was heartbroken when her training was deemed "finished" and it was time for her to be rotated into active duty.
Sonya is a very good mage, and a very good martial artist, but it's her ability to combine them that makes her truly deadly. She can, for example, slow down bullets to dodge them, or increase the density of her fists as she delivers blows. Her various invisibility and sound manipulation spells combined with her ninja stealth allow her to break into some of the Web's most secure facilities.
Sonya prefers to avoid using guns.
Notable Missions
Sonya has been involved in several important missions; her unique skill-set and extensive training make her one of S/31's most important assets. She's stolen mecha from the Kuat Consortium (twice!) as part of S/31's efforts to maintain SLCM's edge in mecha technology. Ivan Gletkin has occasionally tasked her with acquiring high-value items for the Organization of Winter, but she is not aware of the conspiracy's purpose or existence. Sonya has also been 'loaned out' to the FTSR's Collective on occasion. She also teamed up with Leo Bronsky to defeat a Grolim.
