> sonny, like most shadowhunters, dresses exclusively in black. that way, she's always ready for battle, whenever it's coming. when not ready for a fight or training though, she usually is seen sporting a very grunge style of clothing, though she has been known to wear skimpy dresses to parties either for fun or for seduction if she needs to lure someone out or get information.

personality
[ Personality ]
> sonny is someone with a cold exterior and a snarky attitude. she has a very sardonic way of thinking and her tone generally drips sarcasm. she was brought up by a tough family, and as a result, she's learned to be guarded about her feelings, allowing people to see only what she wants them to see. her father always taught her that showing her emotions was a sign of weakness and she grew up with that mental block in her head. because of this, she rarely allows herself to get too close to people. she'll talk, she'll make remarks, but it's not very easy to be friends with her. and there are only a handful of people she'd be interested in making friends with. she admires people that can put up with her shit because she knows that if she was in their place, she would have run from the start. she's not very patient, and she has a tendency to be quite reckless. she has no regard for her own health or safety, often putting herself in dangerous situations, either for the sake of others, or merely to satisfy her curiosity. sonny is the type of girl that parents usually warn their kids to stay away from, but with all her faults, she has her insecurities too. she just doesn't let anyone close enough to find out. if she happens to, well, then it's only because she feels they're very special to her. she would go to the ends of the earth to protect those special people, however if they somehow do something to lose her trust, they can be sure to never gain it again. she isn't very forgiving, and she doesn't forget things easily.

roman venediburn ; sonny's older brother, aged 18. he is probbly the closest to sonny, since they are the closest in age as well. they often comforted each other with each passing day, and when he turned fifteen, he took the opportunity to give himself up to his dad's activities as well, only to keep sonny away from it all.

background
[ Past && description ]
> sonny was once part of a loving home. that was when she was a child though. as she grew up, things only went downhill. her parents had been happily in love till her mother started to get sick. when sonny grew up, she came to know that it was because her father had introduced her to a downworlder drug laced with demon blood. it was slowly killing her, and she didn't realise that she needed to continue to consume it to lengthen her life span. she died when sonny was eight. since then, her father was more hard on his kids because he knew it was his fault his wife was dead. sonny's older sister svetlana was the only one he was truly proud of. she was an excellent shadowhunter, one of the best in their generation. nothing could stop her. till she decided to take part in her father's side activities. the drugs he introduced to his wife were being produced by men he had hired. they were downworlders, all of them, but they worked for him because he had money, and other things they could possibly want. he was a downworlder drug lord, and he used his best fighter to carry out tasks when a deal went wrong. on one such mission, she was grossly outnumbered, and she didn't make it. sonny's father merely covered it up, but since then, his harsh nature was focused on sonny, her being the only other daughter. he wanted her to be like svetlana. he forced her to train as much as she could each day, from the time she was eight, but he became more violent as she grew older, becoming even harder on her. she suffered many punishments, like her brothers, and she has the scars to prove it. she knew she would have to start working for her dad one day, and when that time came for ivan, he took advntage of it. he managed to get in contact with a warlock when he was doing a run for their father, and this warlock offered both sonny and her parabatai safe travel to alicante, where her father wouldn't find her. it was a long shot, but they took it. when sonny was thirteen, she and her parabatai mikhail fled to the shadowhunter academy in alicante, staying there and training to be better. sonny couldn't change her routine or her habits, but she felt safer in alicante. on the eve of her sixteenth birthday, the warlock that had sent her to alicante came visiting and explained that her father knew where she was. it was only a matter of time before he would get to her so the warlock got in contact with magnus bane in new york, and he received sonny and mikhail, intending to send them to the new york institute.
[ Present && description ]
> currently, sonny and her parabatai have recently moved into the new york institute, but are still a little wary about things, and not to mention afraid, since they had been close to being found, and it was likely to happen again. her father still runs the drug cartel among downworlders.

> transferred to ; alicante / shadowhunter academy
> transferred to/currently at ; new york institute
