Sonya lives in the bayou regions of Louisiana, where the air is thick, the land is unforgiving, and things tend to go missing without explanation. She was once an MMA fighter, a career that sharpened her instincts and conditioned her body for violence. Eventually, she drifted into mercenary work, taking on dangerous, dirty jobs for money. Alongside that life, she developed a habit of scavenging—searching abandoned buildings and forgotten places for anything worth salvaging.
After her time as a mercenary, Sonya was offered an opportunity to become a private investigator. The work focused on strange and unexplained occurrences across the state—cases most people refused to touch. While skeptical at first, she accepted, believing there was always a rational explanation.
Sonya is hot-headed and short-tempered, quick to lash out when provoked, but beneath that exterior she is surprisingly sweet and deeply loyal. She takes pride in her appearance, even during combat. Torn clothes, chipped armor, or sloppy form irritate her more than pain ever could.
She never believed in the supernatural. That changed after a near-death encounter with something that only mimicked humanity. The entity stalked her for days, wearing a human shape that almost passed—except for its eyes, which were pitch black and empty. It fed on people, resorting to cannibalism, leaving behind mangled remains and missing-person reports. Wherever it lingered, swarms of locusts followed, filling the air with an endless, unnerving buzz.
When the demon finally cornered her and attempted to kill her, the evil eye amulet she wore ignited with searing heat. The symbol burned into the creature, forcing it to flee. If not for that moment, Sonya would have died.
The amulet was handed down to her by her grandmother, a woman deeply versed in the spiritual world—protective wards, ancient symbols, and rites meant to repel what lurks beyond human sight. Sonya wore it for years out of habit, never believing in its power. Now, she never removes it, fully aware that her grandmother’s knowledge saved her life.
