Born into the royal family of Novoselic, a small European country with strong Slavic roots and nature-based religion, the queen could not give birth to another child as beautiful as she. The name “Sonia” takes Slavic roots itself, the Russian variant of the name Sophia, meaning “wisdom” in Greek. Sonia Białłozor/“Nevermind” would indeed grow to be the wisest sovereign, hailed by her people as their Athena.
At a young age, however, this was not apparent. From the time she had learned to walk until she had hit thirteen years of age, Sonia was as tomboyish as one could get. She would often climb into the highest trees in the royal garden to avoid lessons, challenge her adopted younger brother to races and other games (often resulting in bodily harm or other consequences), made faces at the members of the royal court during meetings and terrorize the castle’s cook– Most notoriously by once throwing him in the river surrounding the castle. Her parents hoped and prayed to the sun, moon and stars she would grow out of this behavior.
Soon, their prayers were answered– By the time she was 15, she had grown into the persona we see today; a beautiful, intelligent young lady. Also, at this point in her life, she had grown fond of other cultures– Mainly those of Asian or Eurasian countries. Eastern Russia was a starting point of interest for her, but once she had pursued studies in Japan, one could say she was in love. At the age of 17, she fought tooth and nail with her parents for the privilege to study there, and they agreed on one condition: She had to find a school worthy of educating a Białłozor.
That was when Hope’s Peak Academy, the most prestigious school in Japan, had stepped in. Their international talent scouts had heard the young ruler’s legacy throughout her country and took a particular interest in her abilities as a ruler, offering her the title of “Ultimate Princess”. With a lift of her chin and a bit of a grin, she accepted their offer, and the rest, as they say, was history.
