[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]APPEARANCE
[attr="class","hopelovetop"][attr="class","hopelovesub"]
HAIR // Black[break]
EYES // Brown[break]
SKIN // Tan[break][break]
ATTIRE[break][break]
Sonnet is very aware of her appearance, and tends to wear clothes that flatter her, with a taste for a number of designer brands. She is sensible however, and tends to wear clothes that are practical enough when she is on the job, albeit still with large price tag. Whenever she gets a chance however, she will change into something more feminine.
[break][break]
Since the Event and the development of her abilities, she has embraced the new Hero scene, enjoying the chance to return to her ancestry, however symbolically, and often wearing lightweight Samurai style armour and a stylised devil mask in the vein of the Yakuza.
[break][break]
GENERAL[break][break]
Sonnet is average height for a Japanese woman, standing at five foot two, and slender with it, with an athletic figure and an easy, dancers grace that speaks of years of martial arts and gymnastics training. She typically wears her hair short, to keep it from being used against her. Her fringe hangs low over her face, often brushed to one side. Her skin is covered in intricate and complex tattoos of a clear eastern origin, with the exception of a livid scar on her neck, as though someone has tried to cut her throat.
[break][break]
The eyes are windows to the soul, or so they say, what that says of Sonnet is yet to be told. Often smiling, her eyes reflect as much, but are just as capable of going cold and dead when 'business' calls for it. Unusually for her line of work she has an extremely expressive face, and outside of business it is rare that you find her without a broad smile on her face.

[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]PERSONALITY
[attr="class","hopelovetop"]
A pessimist, Sonnet tends to a negative attitude in her outlook on life. However, she is relatively emotionally stable, and it takes a lot to upset her. Her pessimism leads to her expecting betrayal, and she is slow to trust newcomers. As such, she can come across as somewhat cold and even cantankerous on occasion; it doesn't help that she reveals very little about herself. Her sense of humour is somewhat at odds with the rest of her personality, and it is rare to see her without a spark of mischief in her eyes.
[break][break]
One of the first things that seems to define Sonnet is her religion. A devout Catholic, it often seems to put her at odds with her profession as an enforcer, though she somehow manages to make it work. This is somewhat hypocritical, but her religion is nonetheless a crucial aspect of her life. Which leads to the second problem: raised in a strictly traditional family, Sonnet is extremely homophobic. The very root of this hatred lies in her deepest and most secret fear, that she herself may be homosexual.
[break][break]
Sonnet has a single minded determination. Her father died with little, if any dignity left, and she is determined to redeem her family's honour. Ruthless and uncompromising, she doesn't hesitate to make the decisions she deems must be made, and is willing to kill to achieve her aims. She may not be entirely comfortable with her profession, but she has managed to bury her protesting conscience beneath her ambition and sense of honour.

[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]HISTORY
[attr="class","hopelovetop"]
Born in Japan, Sonnet was the daughter of a shatei-gashira, a low-level Yakuza captain. She was clearly bright, and after it became apparent that they could have no more children, the Matsuda's doted on her. Shortly after her twelfth birthday an opportunity for advancement opened up for Matsuda Akinari. He and his family relocated to America, the land of dreams, to run operations for the Yakuza there. This proved to be a huge opportunity for Akinari, and he took advantage of it, becoming a major figure in the underworld of the East Coast.
[break][break]
Sonnet proved to be a headstrong girl, and entirely uninterested in the traditional occupation of Japanese women, housewifery. She was far more interested in her father's business, and a secretly proud Akinari introduced her to all aspects of his business. She showed herself to have a sharp mind, and, still young and innocent looking, she proved more than useful as a lookout and distraction.
[break][break]
Unfortunately for Sonnet, though perhaps fortunately for American law enforcement, things went off track right before her sixteenth birthday. Sonnet's father began displaying symptoms of early onset dementia. For some time, three years in fact, they maintained the illusion that Akinari was still healthy enough to run the Yakuza's business in New York City and along the East Coast. It didn't last. Before long even Sonnet's efforts couldn't conceal the fact that her father was ill, dying. Over the next three years his faculties degraded, another man took over the Yakuza's business interests as Sonnet's father finally lost the last of his dignity.
[break][break]
She laid him in the ground when she was twenty four, then turned her attention to restoring her family's honour, and reclaiming what she saw as her rightful place in the Yakuza. Ruthless and uncompromising, it did not take long for her to rise to a lieutenant's rank, and she was present at a major transaction on the night of 'The Event'.
[break][break]
It was some time later that she realised that she was amongst those affected by the strange things that had happened that night. It took her some time, but tackling the new challenge with the same obsession saw her beginning to master her abilities only a year after 'The Event'.
[break][break]
At some point between 'The Event' and now someone made a serious effort to halt her rise through the ranks, and almost succeeded. The scar at her throat is the only remaining visible evidence of that attempt, while her now far quieter and husky voice betrays the damage done to her vocal chords.

[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]POWER
[attr="class","hopelovetop"][attr="class","hopelovesub"]
ABILITY[break][break]
Sonnet has the ability to apply massive amounts of energy to space-time itself. This has the effect of ripping a temporary hole in the very fabric of reality. Terrifying though it sounds, this ability has a very simple, but effective, purpose. Teleportation. Sonnet has the ability to step from this reality into another and back, apparently instantaneously, allowing her to cover huge distances in a literal blink of an eye.
[break][break]
LIMITS[break][break]
Sonnet can cross vast distances in the blink of an eye, but those distances do not cover the entire globe. In order to teleport she is effectively generating an enormous gravity anomaly that folds space itself, allowing her to simply step from one place, to the next, without apparently moving. The maximum range of this ability is approximately 2,500 miles, and she can only teleport to locations that she can see, or that she has visited before. Even then she needs to be familiar with the location, visiting somewhere only once is not enough for her, it needs to be clear in her mind.
[break][break]
She can take people with her when she jumps, but each additional person severely increases the amount of energy her ability requires. Though she could take one person to her maximum range it would leave her feeling as if she hasn't eaten in a week. Any more than one passenger and her range would be severely reduced.
[break][break]
WEAKNESSES[break][break]
Tearing holes in reality takes a lot of energy, and that energy is taken directly from Sonnet's body. As such her appetite far exceeds that of any normal human and she requires somewhere between ten and twelve thousand calories a day, more if she is making more frequent use of her ability. As a result she consumes copious amounts greasy and sugary foods without it having the slightest effect on her figure.
Longer range jumps take more out of her, with her maximum range causing migraines, blackouts and sometimes vomiting. Often she will be left unable to teleport for some time after such long range jumps, and the more people she teleports with the shorter her range and the more it takes after her. Theoretically she could actually burn herself out completely and appear at the other end appearing as though she has starved to death. She maintains momentum when teleporting, so if, for example, she fell off a building she would have to react swiftly before she built up enough speed to leave her a smear on the pavement.
