Anyway, as threatened, here's research baby:

Name: Sonata

Age: 23

Height: 138 cm

People: Draph

Hobbies: No time for hobbies

Likes: Coffee, animals, reading

Dislikes: People, being disturbed, bright lights

Pronouns: She/ they/ hey you / anything goes

Sonata hails from a small island in the outskirts of the Valtz Duchy. She was adopted as a young child and she's aware of this, because her adoptive parents are Harvins. They are teachers at the only school on the island, so Sonata was often told that her good grades were only due to favoritism. Despite the sting of that, she always loved academics and her parents, whom she has a good and loving relationship with, encouraged her however they could. She ended up leaving the island for a university in the Port Breeze area, where she is now one of the youngest PhD candidates in its history. She pushes herself very hard, both to show her parents that their support wasn't in vain, and to show up everyone who told her that academia may not be the place for a Draph.

She's perpetually stressed and probably has more coffee than blood at this point, as she is prone to pushing herself and has passed out in the library more than once. Tragically, she's too stubborn to change her ways and every time someone tells her no, she digs her heels in and doubles down. She has social anxiety, but tries to mask that by acting blunt and irritable, to push people away and keep them from further talking to her.

She lost one of her horns when she was attacked by a monster in her childhood. That incident led to her developing a keen interest in nature, which is why she studies biology and specifically ecology.

Sonata has maroon hair that is about shoulder length for practicality and oftentimes very frazzled, and wine red, baggy eyes. Her horns are smooth and white, with the right one broken at the halfway point. She sometimes decorates it when she remembers. She wears glasses due to being near-sighted.

She attempted to befriend Threo in an effort to gain access to Terra and research the ecosystem atop the giant tortoise's back, but grows to enjoy Threo's unfiltered, direct ways. Even if the girl's tendency to act and then not think ever is routinely driving her insane.

They work things out after Sonata's friendship scheme is discovered, because Threo doesn't really hold on to grudges, and then Sonata begrudgingly had to accept that she likes the Eternal of the Cardinal Three.

They bond over their understanding of nature, Threo's lived experiences versus Sonata's book smarts. Threo likes having a friend who will tell her when she's about to do something stupid and someone whom she can protect and Sonata likes having someone around who's just refreshingly earnest and direct and also can tell the person working the counter that she asked for no pickles, actually.
