Trivia

  • If you are playing Suikoden efficiently for completion purposes, Sonya will be the last character you get to join.
  • The weird blue magic-burst attack that Sonya uses when you fight her is not available through any rune in the game.
  • There is a black cat who hangs out at the Mercenary Fortress in Suikoden II that, when inspected, will say "Sonya...". This is not a reference to Sonya, however, but rather a mistranslation of the cat meowing.
  • Despite being the leader of the Soldier Beauties unit, Sonya can only be used as such in the last battle.
