===In ''Advance Wars''===
Sonja acts as the enemy on a series of three hidden missions, where after splitting up the Orange Star forces she tests the skills of not only the player, but also the [[Orange Star]] COs. She is also instrumental in finding out why the nations of [[Cosmo Land]] are at war and revealing [[Sturm]]. She is captured by Sturm on their first meeting and as such, is one of three unplayable COs for [[The Final Battle!]] (the other two being [[Nell]] and Sturm himself).

Alongside Kanbei and [[Sensei]], Sonja helps repel a Black Hole invasion led by [[Adder]]. First she destroys one of Adder's forces, then routs a group of units led by [[Lash]]. Sonja can also be selected for the Yellow Comet lab mission, as well as the factory missions for Yellow Comet and Green Earth and the two missions vs. Sturm.

==Personality==
==Personality==
Sonja is very smart, and she often thinks ahead rather than charge right into battle. She is somewhat a philosopher, and, according to [[Sami]], a smart aleck.
 


==Relationships==
==Relationships==
Sonja's relationship with Kanbei is an interesting one. Despite being father and daughter, the two serve as foils for each other; Kanbei is an impulsive, honor-driven technophobe whereas Sonja is a calculating and calm prodigy. However, the two rely on each other to cover each other's weaknesses and generally get along.

Sonja also has an odd sort of friendship with Lash. Although the two are both young geniuses, their personalities couldn't be much more different. The two share a rivalry which seems to alternate between friendly and bitter.

Line 47: Line 43:
Sami is Sonja's other main rival and in their days at military academy, their rivalry was certainly bitter. However, they are on much friendlier terms these days.
