Sonja Swiftyswing
About
The muscle of the operation.
Going back to her childhood history, you will rapidly notice that she had the rather mundane lifestyle, coming from the frigid mountains of Mount McLarge Huge then moving to Seaside Town with her father and her big brother. Nothing too out of the ordinary happened since, until the day she hit her 18th birthday; it was the same year a masquerade ball was organized for the 200th anniversary of the Kingdom of Loathing's settlement, and everyone was conveyed. Little did she know, this will be the starting point of her brand new adventure, full of seal hunting, scars forming on her skin, and a morbid discovery about her mother that she never had the chance to grow up with, since she was little... leading to the final confrontation of her journey; the fight against Gorgolok, the Demonic Hellseal, that got sold by her victory, and her retreiving the ancient artefact of the Seal Clubbers of her guild..
After that adventure, Sonja embraced the life of Adventurer for years on, and went on expeditions especially with her best friend, exploring the world, beating up villains (and plenty of Hellseals), and solving puzzles to save the world, even unintentionally. However, one day, as she was on the verge of facing one of the many villains of the Kingdom, she is confronted by an underground organization that has strong influence on the in-place government of the Kingdom, which framed her to the Council of Loathing over destroying the ancient Seal Clubber artifact: so, let’s remember, the one artifact she was supposed to retrieve from the hands of her Nemesis at that time, Gorgolok. And then, you know the drill. She got slammed in the slammer for quite some time, until she was met with other inmates who she will convince to braek out. And break out they all did! It was now their mission to remain undercover as they found the source to what imprisoned them in the first place, and for that, Sonja is more than ready to show the world some.
"It was like seeing death before my eyes: except she was nowhere pretty."
Character theme: chase - batta
Combat
Due to her advanced taste in the thrill of the action, Sonja tends to chose the battle option over all those that are given to her, to the cost of her shortcomings sometimes. She has little vision of self-preservation, even after four years of adventuring in the wild. Her motto: hit till it doesn't move no more, as a wise voice would once tell her.
Abilities
Equipment
Personality
PRAGMATIC | SHORT-TEMPERED | INTROVERT
Rather than calculating ahead, Sonja seizes the moment every second of her life and jumps into the fire of the action. There is never a dull day with her around: think of it as the life of the party, except she's not really the outgoing type of person.
In addition of this, she is gruff, blunt, and often bears teeth to other people, making her look intimidating. Sometimes losing her temper in this too. Deep down, she often misinterprets the behaviour of everyone around her as threatening, and it may take some time for her to warm up to people. But the little she keeps with her, she treats them with the upmost respect and love they all deserve. So, not an uncool type of gal per se.
Design Notes
- The many scars on her body and face are due to the many Hellseals she had to fight against.
- Her teeth are naturally sharp (a perk of being a native Northlander)
Likes
- Working out
- Homemade meals
- Camping nights
Dislikes
- Hellseals
- Bright lights
- Crowded places
Trivia
- Up to her imprisonment, her criminal record was surprisingly clean (the perks of being an Adventurer in the name of the Kingdom of Loathing)
- She is the very child of no other than Bjorn: the Legendary Seal Clubber that tried to seal Gorgolok in Hell but tragically failed.
- She once fell into Hell. Literally. And got out of it thankfully.
- Her favorite spot to hang out at night used to be the Desert Beach.
- Her brother and her used to manage the Armory and Leggery together, until she went out adventuring. Sometimes, Sonja comes paying a visit to him when she's not on a mission.

Quiet, slouched on the couch with TV dinners in front of their favorite show at night, and busy at the shop at day; this was the routine awaiting the Swiftyswing siblings the first day they stepped foot into the valleys. At first living with their dad, they then took another level of independence after living in their own rented appartment, after their father left back for the mountains -- it was common for parent Northlanders to leave their children once they were old enough to substain their own needs. Together, they now run the Armory and Leggery of the Square Market. Sonja never gets enough of Jack's antics and often comes to him for advice when she needs it. Though they often argue more than necessary, they always end up on good terms at the end of the day.
Now see, this is one of the rarest people Sonja had the opportunity to bond with, outside of her family and her inmates. And this dates back to the masquerade ball, where a strange girl with an enthusiasm the size of a sealion bumped into her sightline, and since then will never let her go. At first, she felt somewhat intimidated by the presence of this girl that would not stop following her, but as soon as she heard of her Seal Clubber position, she got intrigued (you can now hire Seal Clubbers? Peculiar). It's her who basked Sonja into the first steps of adventuring, and since then, she never left them nor her. They ended up bonding and becoming best friends by the end of Sonja's first adventuring season. (OC by kiwinatorwaffles !)
GORGOLOK, THE DEMONIC HELLSEAL
Oh, this is definitely not good. Sonja thought that this creature was only legends her father would tell stories about, to give her a little fright before sleeping. But he turned out to be true; and what's more, he's now her Nemesis that she had to seal back to hell before he planned on getting the world rid off Seal Clubbers. Thankfully enough, she accomplished that quest, once and for all, and Gorgolok returned back to the state of legend for a good 400 years.
Also known as Bjorn, the Seal Clubber that tried taking down Gorgolok single-handedly, only to pass away in the mist of the trial. So, indeed, she is her and Jack's mother! Sonja never really had the chance to interact with her, since she died as she was just an infant, until her big adventure to defeat Gorgolok herself where she met her in her Nemesis' lair. Just like a ritual of passing, it was now her turn to seal the demonic Hellseal away from this plan of reality, and avenge her mother's name on top of that.
So SHE was the one that framed her to jail. At first, she suspected very little of her due to her weird obsession over Crimbo, but now it became crystal clear upon their second encounter: this witch is a member of the Sinister Sisterhood, an occult group of holidays witches that assembled to spread mischief in every land they are found in. Now she is out of jail, Sonja is going to make sure to be served justice as a present, and make it a red Crimbo for Noël.
