Blood Type: AB
Fav. Food: Authentic / homemade Spanish cuisine. Going out was not a common thing while growing up. Often times one or both of her parents cooked dinner which meant everything was fresh and tasted exactly how it would if they were back in Spain.
Hated Food: Americanized Spanish cuisine. Azteca no thank you; Taco Bell/ Taco Time pass.
School: - insert school name here (too old for DCU)- She is currently attending a university pursuing a bachelors degree with a double major in Accounting and Spanish.
Hobbies: Aside from her love and her passion with work and school (working towards a double major) Sonia has little room for any other hobbies at this time.
Dancing (love): Dancing has always been a big part of her families lives especially since that was how her parents had met when her mother was living in Spain for a study abroad program for school. What started out as watching her parents salsa across the living room quickly progressed into her wanting to dance too. Though 'dancing' at that age mostly consisted of her father holding her while spinning her around the room or her standing on his feet. By the time she was 5 she started dance classes with ballet, tap, jazz which evolved later into salsa, tango, swing etc. Sure she will go to dance clubs from time to time with groups of people but her true love comes from actual dancing and not the stand in one place wiggling your hips and swinging your arms.
Fencing (passion): Ever since she was a child admiring her fathers wall-mounted saber swords above the fireplace mantle Sonia was hooked. Her curiosity of the beautiful yet deadly weapons quickly became a passion the day her parents signed her up for fencing classes when she turned 8 years old. Quick to pick up on feet movement and how to effectively parry and immediately re-post for a swift point she moved up in her class quickly as it seemed she had a knack - a natural as adults often put it.
Renascence Fair (guilty pleasure):Though it is only seasonal, Sonia does enjoy going to local Ren fair's if time allows. There are usually two or three she tries to go to each year and often times dresses with the themes. In the event that there is no theme she often defaults to a leather
saberist's short dress with leather pants and calf high boots. At one of the fairs there is a fencing demonstration that she has volunteered to help with on a few occasions between venturing around to other booths and watching the shows.
Virtues: Strategist: Be it the quickest way to get from point A to point B, or when to be the one to make the first move and take right of way in fencing, or even quickest most effective way to get through that pile of to-do paperwork, Sonia's mind is generally always on the go and trying to plan how to be more efficient. There is a difference between getting something done and getting it done right and she does not sacrifice quality of work for a quicker time.
Affectionate / caring: Sonia wants people to feel better and be happy or less stressed. Ways she helps people achieve this is either by hugs and being a literal shoulder to cry on, head scratches or massages (hands, feet, neck or back). Down side is she doesn't ask if you want one she just does it and the acquaintance, friend or family member can just ask her to stop.
Hard worker: Even if it requires pulling all-nighters Sonia sticks to deadlines as if her life depended on it. Rarely if ever late for an appointment she will make sure to leave early to allocate enough time to arrive without delay. Once her own responsibilities are complete she is often willing to help others complete their projects or tasks.
Flaws: Competitive: This mostly pertains to competitions however it does often spill over into group activities. Sonia is one who gives it her all and puts her heart and soul, time and energy, into competitions. For the sheer amount of time she puts into practicing to end up losing due to a small mistake can affect her mood greatly. Frequently this is perceived as her being a poor sport; however, she is not at all mad at her opponent, rather she is mulling over what she had done wrong and berating herself for her own mistakes.
Personal Space?: Not too sure if she even knows what this is. This behavior is restricted to casual acquaintance to friends and family she is not going to get up close and personal with a random stranger. If Sonia is going to sit next to you... she'll sit
next to you; expect shoulder bumps or her to lean against a person. Prone to surprise hugs if a person isn't paying attention and has been known to steal laps to take a nap on it if someone is watching TV on the couch. This behavior is something that is at times unwelcome if said individual just wants to be alone or is in a foul mood.
Stepping on Eggshells: She is unfortunately quick to take offence to something since she does not read sarcasm well and does not take flat out cruel criticism graciously (constructive with the intent to help improve is the exception). First response is to take a step back (literally) as if she'd been burned. Depending on what was said she will either withdraw and leave or she'll jump off the deep end with a sharp tongue.
