tagline: A naïve yet cheerful princess of the Slavic, Eastern European nation of Novoselic, Sonia Nevermind is a very kind and polite girl who is full of wonder and fascination at the world around her. Though she was very sheltered growing up, she is not afraid of the outside world, and in fact is determined to explore and embrace the cultures of other great nations and peoples (of which she has taken a great interest in Japanese culture in particular). However, even though she is extremely willing to break out of the shell she was molded in by her family ties, political duties, and volatile regional events, her sheltered upbringing has left her with poor social skills and a child-like understanding of other people or topics. Despite this, Sonia is still very intellectually smart and more than capable of her role as Princess of a nation. She is given the title of "Ultimate Princess"/"Super High School Level Princess" as one of the sixteen primary characters of (Super) Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair.
card_name: Sonia Nevermind
description: She was born into the fledgling royal family of Novoselic, formally known as the Kingdom of Novoselic, a small but proud balkan nation formed out one of the broken pieces of Yugoslavia after the Yugoslav wars. Despite the nation's proper creation after gaining independence from Serbia, the Novoselic people's traditions and culture date back to the medieval era. For generations, the royal family has protected the land, culture and its people from its neighboring countries, as well as keeping the Soviet/Yugoslav influence of their people in check. Thanks to that, the people still have complete trust toward the royal family. The royal family of Novoselic has been living in the royal castle for over a thousand years. Even though the castle is old and small, it's truly a wonderful, historic building. Sonia states that getting lost in the castle subterranean labyrinth is easy. The barracks are fully equipped as well. Many traditions of the Novoselic people revolve around the capturing, taming, and/or killing of certain domestic wildlife. Sonia sees these practices as concerning and possibly even barbaric, and has personally suggested the idea of adjusting these traditions in order to protect the domestic wildlife and ecosystem of the nation.
  
  It was only after the opportunity arose from the collapse of Yugoslavia that the Novoselic people were finally able to achieve self governance and autonomy. Though it is finally its own country, the Novoselic people are still molded from Soviet/Yugoslav teachings and beliefs; in fact, to this day the Novoselic school system still teaches children how to assemble and disassemble Kalashnikov rifles, alongside other military skills. In fact, Sonia herself was taught how to pilot a soviet-era T-72 MBT before she even turned 13 years old, and she learned basic strategic and tactical combat planning before she turned 10. Though the Novoselic people were molded by the USSR and Yugoslavia, they are now mostly isolated from modern day Russia and Serbia. Today, Novoselic is an extremely small country governed by an absolute monarchy. Though the population is small, its economy is thriving, so the people of the country can live comfortable lives.
  
  From the day she was born Sonia was destined to become the princess of the Kingdom of Novoselic. In order to become a true dignified princess, she must learn much knowledge such as leadership, foreign languages, economics, international law, and diagnostic medicine. She claims that she already accepted her destiny as a princess whose life belongs to her country and its people and if she was to die, it would be for no other reason than the sake of her country and people. She hopes that her death would be a meaningful death to her country and people. Living in a kingdom that has a very unique law, culture, and tradition, Sonia has grown interested in studying different countries and languages. This interest has led her to studying and understanding *thirty* different languages, of which she can read, write, and speak with only minor issues. She believes that expanding her knowledge is the duty of every member of the royal family, thus making her interested in the occult, cults, and popular dramas.  Sonia states that in her own country, she is a princess before a person; therefore she always prioritized her people and country over herself. She has grown to resent this line of thinking, and she secretly desires and dreams of being treated like a normal girl.
  
  Sonia lived a comfortable yet very sheltered life in the kingdom of Novoselic. Sonia states that she didn't have a single friend equal in status to her, making her very lonely.
  
  Sonia is a cheerful and polite girl with a great interest in Japanese culture. Being a princess, she takes a great interest in many rather ordinary things as well, such as cleaning, or even the Japanese restrooms, due to not being familiar with them. Due to her poor social skills that were a result of her sheltered upbringing, she occasionally messes up figures of speech and has a tendency to use very outdated slang in an attempt to socialize people her age. This can also result in Sonia parroting words that she doesn't actually know the meaning of, including various swears and slurs. This also has the unfortunate side effect of being extremely awkward and naïve about lewd or sexual topics or actions, yet also very curious about them as well. Sonia is fascinated with serial killers and the occult and has actually stated that she likes Friday the 13th as a superstition.
  
  Sonia is very kind and thoughtful, and she cares deeply for her friends, being very protective to those she holds a deep connection to. She can also be rather physically affectionate towards her friends. While she is very friendly, Sonia's commands are rather assertive and captivate the undivided attention of everyone surrounding her. It is stated that whenever she commands people, they feel an instinctive need to bow and listen to her. Sonia can also suddenly curse a lot and shout out loud whenever she is very upset or in deep distress.
  
  Because of her upbringing, Sonia can be rather naïve and her general behavior can make her appear a bit ditzy at times, but she is actually smart and capable of complex political analysis, and has faced many dangerous and stressful situations due to her status as a princess. As a representative and authority figure of her country, she feels she has a great responsibility and always tries to stay calm and not show any weakness, though she can buckle under pressure from threats or violence. In general, she is shown to be deeply loyal to her country and always prioritizes her people and country over herself, even if it makes her unhappy inside.
  
  Sonia is a tall, young woman with fair skin and pale sea blue eyes, as well as a nice, large pair of breasts. She has knee-length light blonde hair, part of it styled in a braided crown, the rest left to flow slightly towards the left. Her hair is accessorized with a green-black ribbon flecked with diamonds. She wears a dark teal dress with a white collar, puffed sleeves, and belt. She also sports a large red ribbon with a blue jewel trimmed with silver on the chest. As well as this, she wears a pale bracelet on her left wrist, black over-knee socks trimmed with gray lines, and red toe cap heeled Mary Janes.

creator_notes: This is my first introduction to Chub after having to migrate from Yodayo. Hopefully this insertion will work well and I can begin migrating the rest of my characters from there.
  Now that I am looking further into this site, I might have to consider adding on a lot more to the character descriptions and background considering the lack of character limits.
  Also note that there is very *minor* fanfiction involved, though it has nothing to do with Sonia herself; rather, it is additions to the background of the Novoselic kingdom itself, to better ground it in a more realistic setting.
