[[File:Sonya (S1 HDR portrait).png|frameless|left|155px]]
Sonya has long, straight blonde hair and striking blue eyes. She is particularly known for her beauty, with several characters remarking on it over the course of the game.


Sonya is a strong warrior who became the Admiral of the [[Scarlet Moon Imperial Navy]] following the death of her mother, [[Kilauea Shulen]]. After her appointment, Sonya quickly grew close to [[Teo McDohl]], forming a personal relationship with him<ref>"Lady Sonya. I was always at Master Teo's side. So I understand how you feel. I also know about your personal relationship." - Cleo ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> and was greatly worried and upset about Teo when he was was assigned to the northern border<ref>"Ever since she heard about General Teo's northern assignment, Lady Sonya has not looked well." - Maid ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref><ref>"I heard that Teo is going north. Since he is a soldier it's only natural, but still my heart is bleeding. I hope he returns unharmed." - Sonya's Diary ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Sonya and her fleet were originally stationed at [[Toran Castle]], but after the [[Floating Fortress of Shasarazade]] was completed, Sonya and her soldiers were relocated there. After they left, pirates began to use Toran Castle for their own ends; to prevent this, Sonya summoned a [[Zombie Dragon]] to guard the abandoned Toran Castle.  This was not the end of Sonya's troubles with pirates; [[Anji]], leader of a group of pirates, often taunted Sonya, even going so far as to pin a wedding dress to the walls of Shasarazade in order to make fun of Sonya's unmarried status.  
Her equipment consists of a metal breastplate and greaves, worn over blue underclothes. She also wears a red skirt pauldrons, as well as a blue cape.  On her forehead, she wears a red and gold headpiece.


Sonya was extremely loyal to the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]] and to Teo McDohl. Following his death during the [[Gate Rune War]], Sonya wished to avenge him, even if it meant killing Teo's son, [[Tir McDohl|Tir]]. During the [[Battle at Floating Fortress Shasarazade]], Sonya was forced to defend Shasarazade against a surprise attack from the [[Toran Liberation Army]]. Unable to prevent a loss, Sonya Shulen apologized to Teo for being unable to keep the Toran Liberation Army at bay<ref>"I'm so sorry, Master Teo." - Sonya Shulen ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. As the Liberation Army entered Shasarazade, Sonya confronted Tir, asking why he had betrayed the empire as well as his father<ref>"I want to ask you, Tir. Why did you betray the Empire? Why did you betray your own father, Teo?" - Sonya Shulen ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Sonya also demanded to know whether the rebellion was what Tir considered just<ref>Inciting rebellion, causing war, taking lives... is this what you call justice?" - Sonya Shulen ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Seeing the oil lit, Sonya wondered if the flames were Tir's answer and, attacking Tir and his party, Sonya vowed that Tir would pay for taking Teo's life with his own<ref>"The all-consuming flame... is this your answer? Is this what you want? You raised your sword against Teo. You will pay. Now. With your life!" - Sonya Shulen ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.
===Personality===
Sonya is known for her bravery and striking presence, and carries herself with a blend of grace and authority that commands respect. Beneath her composed exterior, however, lies a deeply emotional and driven soul, shaped by the weight of her mother's legacy and her own aspirations.


Though unable to defeat Tir and his party, Sonya was unsurprised, as Tir had defeated Teo<ref>"As I thought. I cannot defeat you. After all, you beat Teo." - Sonya Shulen ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> and, unable to avenge him, Sonya swore she would not let the Toran Liberation Army defile her and moved to throw herself into the flames of Shasarazade<ref>"But I will not let you defile me. I am the Empire's... His Highness's...Teo's...." - Sonya Shulen ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. However, she was prevented in doing so by [[Viktor]], who decided to take Sonya prisoner instead<ref>"Can't let a pretty lady like you die. Besides, you seem to have your reasons. Tir, we'll take this woman general with us." - Viktor ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.  
Sonya's fierce loyalty to her duties and loved ones was matched only by her fiery temper, particularly when provoked, as seen in her intense rivalry with [[Anji]]. Meanwhile, her relationship with [[Teo McDohl]] revealed a softer, more vulnerable side.


After being taken prisoner by the Toran Liberation Army, Sonya was taken to Toran Lake castle and placed into the dungeon there. Tir came to see her, and asked Sonya to join his forces. Sonya accepted, but said she only did so to be able to see Tir when he was killed<ref>"All right. I'll join you. But I won't help you fight. I'll stay by your side so I can watch you die." - Sonya Shulen ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Previously, [[Cleo]], a servant of the McDohl household, also paid Sonya a visit and told her she should not hate Tir, as Teo had seemed happy for Tir when he had died<ref>"The expression on Master Teo's face when he died... was very peaceful. He seemed happy to have seen how his son grew up. Please remember that." - Cleo ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, and told Sonya that she could have been Tir's mother<ref>"You are someone who may have become Master Tir's mother." - Cleo ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Sonya took these statements to heart, and realized that Tir was beginning to resemble his father<ref>"Tir.....you're beginning to resemble General Teo....." - Sonya Shulen ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.  
Her ability to reconcile her emotions and adapt to changing circumstances highlights her complexity as a leader who balanced strength with compassion, pride with humility, and vengeance with forgiveness.


Sonya fought for the Liberation Army for the remainder of the war, leading her own unit. After the [[The Last Battle (Suikoden)|last battle]], Sonya was present at [[Gregminster Palace]], where she expressed concern for Emperor Barbarosa<ref>"Emperor Barbarosa!" - Sonya Shulen ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref> and witnessed Barbarosa's leap from the top of the [[Floating Garden]] with [[Windy]]. Following the end of the Gate Rune War, Sonya continued on in her career as an Admiral, under the banner of the newly-founded [[Toran Republic]]<ref>"Became the Admiral of the Republican Navy." - Sonya Shulen's Ending Text ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.

==Game info==
[[File:Sonya likes to see our face.png|220px|thumb|left|Hey, we have a great relationship!]]
===Suikoden===
Sonya Shulen was a distinguished [[Great General]] of the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]], renowned for her bravery, magic acumen, and striking beauty. With her golden hair and piercing blue eyes, Sonya commanded both admiration and respect, earning her place as one of the Empire's most prominent military leaders.
====Cooperative Attack====
 
{{Coop Attack Mini
She inherited her position as Great General and naval commander following the death of her mother, [[Kilauea Shulen]], a revered veteran of the [[War of Succession]]. However, the weight of her mother's legacy burdened Sonya, driving her to prove herself worthy of the Shulen name.
|name = Beauty Attack
 
|japanese_name= 美女攻撃
Sonya's career was marked by her fierce rivalry with [[Anji]], the infamous lake pirate. As commander of the Imperial Navy, she led her forces in numerous engagements against Anji's bandits, achieving notable success due to her unit's discipline and lack of corruption—a rarity within the Empire.
|romaji_name = Bijo Kougeki
 
|member1 = Cleo
Their rivalry reached its peak when Anji taunted Sonya by pinning a wedding dress to the [[Floating Fortress of Shasarazade]], mocking her unmarried status. Enraged but composed, Sonya retaliated by orchestrating a raid on the pirates while they were intoxicated, dealing a significant blow to their operations.

|member3 = Sonya Shulen

|range = All
During her tenure, Sonya formed a close bond with [[Teo McDohl]], another of the Empire's Great Generals. Their relationship, initially rooted in mutual respect and mentorship, blossomed into a deep romantic connection. Teo's guidance helped Sonya navigate the pressures of her role, though his eventual death during the [[Gate Rune War]] plunged her into grief and turmoil. Learning that Teo had fallen in battle against his own [[Hero (Suikoden)|son]], the leader of the [[Toran Liberation Army]], Sonya's sorrow turned to a desire for vengeance.
|damage = 3x
 
|effect = None
In the climactic [[Battle at Floating Fortress Shasarazade]], Sonya fought valiantly, refusing to retreat even as the fortress burned around her. Defeated but unbowed, she attempted to take her own life to join Teo in death, only to be stopped by [[Viktor]] and taken captive by the Liberation Army. Initially resistant, Sonya gradually reconciled her conflicting emotions, coming to terms with Teo's death and the reasons behind it.

====Ending====
After her capture ad speaking with [[Cleo]], Sonya agreed to assist the Liberation Army, ostensibly to see its leader die, though her cooperation was likely a means to process her grief and honor Teo's memory. She spent much of her time alongside fellow former Imperials, uneasy in the presence of the Liberation Army's leader.

History

Hero... You resemble your father more and more.

—  Sonya Shulen
Hey, we have a great relationship!

Sonya Shulen was a distinguished Great General of the Scarlet Moon Empire, renowned for her bravery, magic acumen, and striking beauty. With her golden hair and piercing blue eyes, Sonya commanded both admiration and respect, earning her place as one of the Empire's most prominent military leaders.

She inherited her position as Great General and naval commander following the death of her mother, Kilauea Shulen, a revered veteran of the War of Succession. However, the weight of her mother's legacy burdened Sonya, driving her to prove herself worthy of the Shulen name.

Sonya's career was marked by her fierce rivalry with Anji, the infamous lake pirate. As commander of the Imperial Navy, she led her forces in numerous engagements against Anji's bandits, achieving notable success due to her unit's discipline and lack of corruption—a rarity within the Empire.

Their rivalry reached its peak when Anji taunted Sonya by pinning a wedding dress to the Floating Fortress of Shasarazade, mocking her unmarried status. Enraged but composed, Sonya retaliated by orchestrating a raid on the pirates while they were intoxicated, dealing a significant blow to their operations.

See! She still wants to look at us!

During her tenure, Sonya formed a close bond with Teo McDohl, another of the Empire's Great Generals. Their relationship, initially rooted in mutual respect and mentorship, blossomed into a deep romantic connection. Teo's guidance helped Sonya navigate the pressures of her role, though his eventual death during the Gate Rune War plunged her into grief and turmoil. Learning that Teo had fallen in battle against his own son, the leader of the Toran Liberation Army, Sonya's sorrow turned to a desire for vengeance.

In the climactic Battle at Floating Fortress Shasarazade, Sonya fought valiantly, refusing to retreat even as the fortress burned around her. Defeated but unbowed, she attempted to take her own life to join Teo in death, only to be stopped by Viktor and taken captive by the Liberation Army.

She spent much of her time alongside fellow former Imperials, uneasy in the presence of the Liberation Army's leader.

Following the war, Sonya's exceptional skills and dedication earned her the position of admiral in the Toran Republic Navy, where she continued to serve with distinction.
