Sonya (FE Gaiden)
Sonya is a "Red Witch" from Fire Emblem Gaiden. While playing Tear Ring Saga, I couldn't help but think about Gaiden, and started playing it out of nostalgia (laughs). Despite being an optional character, she is incredibly powerful, and also incredibly complex. She is the daughter of Jedah, the main antagonist of Gaiden who controls most of the game's antagonists, and I always felt that she could never truly escape his shadow from start to finish. Although her graphics showed her being completely red, I gave her black clothes, since black is the color of witchcraft. In other words, red, the color of blood, with black, the color of sin (laughs). Does anyone understand what I'm saying?
