Sonya (The Servant)

Sonya, the Wandering Barbarian, is a female barbarian, hailing from the frozen Dreadlands of the north. After surviving the destruction of her home and death of her tribe, Sonya wanderd Sanctuary in search of battle and a better life for her people, and would become engaged in numerous important conflicts in the south. Eventually, Sonya

Last of the Frost
Sonya was born a member of the Frost Tribe of barbarians, the daughter of King Kanai, the legendary leader of the barbarians. Her mother died in childbirth. She hailed from Harrogath and was only a child when Baal assaulted the city and successfully corrupted the Worldstone. When the archangel Tyrael destroyed the Worldstone to save mankind, Mt. Arreat and the surrounding areas were destroyed, including Harrogath. The city was wiped out, but Sonya survived, emerging from the rubble as the last survivor of her tribe and her family (her father having died as well during the siege of Sescheron), thus earning her the moniker "Last of the Frost." The young girl was taken in by a few survivors, and spent time with fellow refugees, the fear in their eyes becoming etched in her memory.

Wanderings
She wandered Sanctuary in search of battle and a better life for her people, her rage from her many lossess directed at demons and other corrupt invividuals she encountered. Along her travels, Sonya faced many opponents, and acquired armor and weapons from her foes, taking them as her own, and spent a great deal of time hunting down every demon she could. As a warrior she became well-known in the Dreadlands, and among the barbarians themselves, for her skills in battle and boundless wrath. Part of her strength came from the latent Nephalem powers she had.

She eventually wandered her way into New Tristram, and encountered others of her kind. Working with the other Nephalem, Sonya battled the Prime Evils and defeated Diablo, avenging the devastation of her people. During these adventures, she returned to Sescheron, and discovered the spirit of her dead father, who was still positioned upon the Immortal Throne, and was given his sacred weapon, Kanai's Scorn, by her father's spirit.

Becoming Queen
Returning to her wandering ways, however, Sonya sunk into depression and obscurity, her vengeance never sated. The barbarians of the Dreadlands all learned to respect and fear her name, as she grew more bitter over the years. That was, until she was once more drawn back into the fight by the encouragement of the mysterious Servant. Encountering her in the far north, he challenged her to a duel, and lost. However, he managed to convince her that she still had a purpose, and that her people needed a leader now more than ever.

Sonya would set about reuniting her people, and rebuilding their society, as well as preparing for the next coming conflict from the Burning Hells. She rallied the various clans to her side, besting their leaders and claiming leadership over them all. Vile cannibalistic tribes, such as the Unclean, were wiped out, while others, from the Stag Tribe to the Tribe of Thunder. All submitted to her, and soon all of the babarian tribes were united under Sonya. She had to content with the legacy of her father, but proved herself to be a worthy leader.

Sonya took this chance to begin rebuilding her people, knowing that only under strong leadership could her people hope to recover. She personally lead her warriors in reclaiming the babarian captial of Sescheron, and was there crowned Queen Sonya upon the Immortal Throne. She thus became known as the Immortal Queen, and ordered the retaking and of Harrogath. The city was reclaimed and rebuilt, and while the Worldstone was destroyed, Mt. Arreat was reclaimed by the barbarians. Sonya had her own armor and weapons forged from the debries of Harrogath, creating teh Valor of Harrogath. When the demons finally invaded from Tristram, Sonya led her forces south, and served as an important leader in the fight against Diablo and his forces. On the frontlines once more, Sonya battled demons and dark forces, and her heroic feats rallied more of her fallen people.

At the final Battle of Westmarch, she fought with her fellow Nephalem and defeated Diablo for good. With victory secured, Sonya has returned to the Dreadlands, working with healers and miracle-workers to restore the barren land, and is beginning the repopulation of many towns for the barbarians. The Immortal Queen has a great task ahead of her, but with her strong rule the barbarians are finally able to reclaim their lost glory.

Personality & Traits
The Children of Bul-Kathos have developed a kinship with the land and have learned to harness the primal energies within nature to enhance their own substantial physical prowess, and Sonya is no different. She was born and raised during a period of turbulence and war for the barbarians, possessing a muscular body from years of work and warfare, and a tight form. Those whom she encounters remark about her rugged appearance, from her flowing unkempt red hair to the bright body paint.

Most speak about her temper, as Sonya possesses a short fuse. She is quick to fight and is quite rash, with a particular hatred for demons. This has made Sonya difficult for other people, and she has few friends. But Sonya is very commited to whatever course she chooses, and will sacrifice everything for her people and allies. Over the years her temper has cooled, and she has learned the wisdom of patience from leading her people. However, Sonya still possess plenty of energy, and will continue to fight and protect her homeland and people from any threat.
