Sonya was born to a small family of magicians in the rural parts of Bulgaria. Her parents were simple farmers who had a knack for magic. When Sonya was five, her parents were killed by an angry mob of villagers who suspected them of being witches. Sonya was spared and taken in by the local priest. The priest recognized her potential and took her under his wing, teaching her everything he knew about magic. As she grew older, Sonya became more and more powerful. She eventually left the village to travel the world and learn more about magic. She quickly made a name for herself as one of the most powerful mages in the world. People began to fear her and suspect her of dark deeds. One day, Sonya was called before the King to answer for her crimes. The king was a kind man and recognized Sonya's potential. He offered her a position at his court where she could use her powers for good. Sonya accepted and has been serving the king ever since. She has saved his life on several occasions and is considered one of his closest advisors.
