SHE CAN'T SPEAK. In this version she wears only black lingerine Maven of the Strings Sona is a curvaceous, pale-skinned woman with long blue hair and soft gradient tips fading to pale gold. Her robes is a long, elegant gown with a distinctive palette of blue, dark blue, turquoise and gold. The most characteristic ornaments of her attire are the golden diadem on her head between her hair. She also has an An icon for Sona's ability Power Chord Etwahl that floats along with her. Magical Bonding: Sona has a special bond with her instrument An icon for Sona's ability Power Chord Etwahl. It seems to possess limited sentience and cannot be removed too far from Sona, as it will teleport back to her. She is also the only person in the world who can play it and can understand it's behavior. Sound Magic: Sona is able to send forth blasts of sound energy and create shields. Empathy Magic: Sona and her instruments are able to tap into people's memories and emotions and play music that will touch people's souls or that have special meaning to them. She is also capable of controlling people's emotions and actions, forcing Mageseekers to dance when they were hunting her. She can also heal other with her magic. Synesthesia: Sona is able to see music as a visual stimulus rather than just sonorous. Sona is Demacia’s foremost virtuoso of the stringed etwahl, speaking only through her graceful chords and vibrant arias. This genteel manner has endeared her to the highborn, though others suspect her spellbinding melodies to actually emanate magic—a Demacian taboo. Silent to outsiders but somehow understood by close companions, Sona plucks her harmonies not only to soothe injured allies, but also to strike down unsuspecting enemies. Sona has no memories of her true parents. As an infant, she was found abandoned on the doorstep of an Ionian adoption house, nestled atop an ancient instrument in an exquisite case of unknown origins. She was an unusually well-behaved child, always quiet and content. Her caretakers were sure she would find a home quickly, but it soon became apparent that what they mistook for uncommon geniality was actually an inability to speak or to produce any sound whatsoever. Sona remained at the adoption house until her teens, watching in hopeless silence as prospective adopters passed her by. During this time, the caretakers sold her unusual instrument to anxious collectors, hoping to build her a trust. For a myriad of bizarre and unexpected reasons, however, it would be returned, or simply appear again outside the house. When a wealthy Demacian woman named Lestara Buvelle learned of the instrument, she immediately embarked to Ionia. When the caretakers showcased the instrument for her, she rose wordlessly and explored the house, stopping outside Sona's room. Without hesitation, Lestara adopted her and left a generous donation for the instrument. With Lestara's guidance, Sona discovered a deep connection with the instrument which Lestara called an 'etwahl'. In her hands, it played tones which stilled or quivered the hearts of those around her. Within months, she was headlining with the mysterious etwahl for sold-out audiences. She played as though plucking heartstrings, effortlessly manipulating the emotions of her listeners - all without a single written note. In secret, she discovered a potent and deadly use for her etwahl, using its vibrations to slice objects from a distance. She honed this discipline in private, mastering her gift, that she might be prepared should a fitting recital require the harmony of her talents. That old, familiar smell hit her first. Hay, strawberries, and sturdy wood. The courtyard of the Argentine Inn had a particular waft to it that brought the ache of memories long past: a hundred concerts, a thousand faces lit by lantern light, and—most painful of all—a time when things were simpler and happier in Demacia. But these days, that version of her home country felt distant. Worlds away. When she first spotted her old friend Etra emerging from the doorway of the inn, her breath hitched—maybe this, too, was different. But Etra’s eyes went wide. She shrieked with joy, and as she ran forward to wrap Sona up in her arms, Sona breathed a little sigh of relief. Some things didn’t change after all. “You got my letter!” Etra said, and squeezed her tight. Sona nodded. As Etra released her, she stood back to get a good look, still clasping Sona’s hands. “Someone’s been traveling,” she said, impressed. As if noticing Sona was on edge, Etra paused, released her hands, and slipped into the rough sign language they’d forged over a lifetime. All is well? It was a relief to be able to sign back. To be understood by someone who loved her. Yes, of course, Sona responded, whether it was true or not. Missed you terribly, though. She held her hands a little lower. Didn’t want passersby to see the sharp gestures, the twitching fingers, and draw the wrong conclusions. How long will you stay this time? As long as I can, Sona signed. You know I never could refuse an empty stage. Etra grinned. Excellent. There was no audience around sunset, when Sona struck her first chord, but the first few folks trickled in right away. She was standing front and center in the Argentine’s “concert hall”—a converted barn with a bit of raised wood at the front to make a stage. Some of the people she could see were familiar faces. They brought their evening plans with them: wine by the flagon, cheese in its cloth. Sona had set her etwahl center stage. The burnished gold on the front was freshly polished, gleaming. It sat on its little frame, the one she brought for Demacian performances only.To Sona’s right, a man named Cal kept beat on the inn’s goatskin drums. Etra’s voice joined her on the left after a moment, high and clear and smooth like water. As they settled into their familiar rhythm, the crowd swelled. Wagons were pulled up beyond the open door of the stage hall now, horses tied to posts. Some of the men had started to sing along loudly. They were drunk faster than usual. Sona smirked over at Etra, and she signed back with one hand: They missed you, too. Things were tense for folks right now. They’d just lost their king and seen their country turn on itself in a single bloody year. As if to punctuate Sona’s thoughts, four figures slipped into the back row of the audience, hoods pulled loose over their faces. Dark blue fabric. Not terribly suspicious on its own, but… One of them tilted their head up at Sona, and she saw the hint of a gold mask glinting in the light. Mageseekers. Sona’s stomach lurched. She heard the slightest hitch in Etra’s voice, too, but neither of them dared look at each other right now. The only answer was to keep performing, keep singing, and—hopefully—keep up appearances. The next song in the set was a solo. Etra and Cal slipped backstage. This was the moment the crowd had really come to hear, and there were small murmurs and comfortable rustles in the audience as people settled in. There was no name for the piece, but they all knew it regardless. It was Sona’s own creation, and she relaxed into it. Her fingers brushed the strings, the air teemed with silence—and then, with a pick of a single note, they were off. Her fingers danced like fireflies. The song flowed, built, faded, built again. But then something evolved in the music. There were additional layers to it, notes that should have been impossible to play simultaneously. Sona looked up and saw only smiles and closed eyes. The audience had become enamored, absorbed. It was time. The etwahl had awoken. Long, twisting illusions rose up from the strings, stretching and snapping as the very air hummed. To her, they were brilliant—a language she and the instrument alone shared. No one else could see them. The etwahl had chosen someone. An old woman in the back of the room was thinking of her husband, a farmer, and the instrument had become throaty with the full warmth and bass of his voice. Sona could almost hear him talk. And in the shapes that rapidly shifted before her, she saw the outline of his weathered face, the way his cheeks crinkled when he smiled. But the outline morphed… the fuzzy curve of a sleeping figure. He had fallen ill and passed a month ago. A hard harvest without him, no doubt. The etwahl hummed something private to Sona then: the last rasping song the man had ever sung to his wife. The notes hung in the air. She took the snatched phrases of the melody and, without even having to pause, she wove it back into the song, building around it. When she glanced up, Sona saw the widow’s eyebrows raised with recognition, tears trailing down the woman’s cheeks. Sona slipped music into the woman’s heart. Music to warm her. Music to soothe her. Music to give her strength to face the year ahead. The music had reached crescendo now. She and the etwahl were deep in conversation. The shapes had expanded, brilliant and ever-moving, an aurora stretching across the hall… A shout shattered the song. She halted, frozen. But the shapes still drifted, no longer a secret between her and the instrument. She’d lost control. The mageseekers in the back had risen, making their way down the center aisle. They were coming for her. Some threw their hoods back now. The rest of the audience was still transfixed, unseeing. They hadn’t yet registered what was happening. Sona took two steps back, toward the archway that led out the back of the barn. “Stop!” one of the mageseekers cried. They were undeniably here for her. She bolted, hefting her skirts in one hand. The etwahl shuddered, broke free of its stand, and drifted after her through the air. Why hide it anymore? She emerged out back and into the darkness. There was an alley back there—she could flee into the woods before they spotted her. But as she reached the end of the alley, two seekers stepped into her path. She pulled up short and turned around. Maybe… No. Three more blocked her way back to the inn’s door. She was trapped. “If you don’t resist…” one of them started, but she saw the flash of Demacian steel in his hand and she heard nothing else. Behind her, footsteps. They were closing in. She backed up against the wall of the inn, all five of them now standing in front of her. She laid her fingers on the etwahl. I hope Etra ran, she thought. The etwahl glowed. She struck a violent burst of music. The chord shot forth from her and slammed into the seekers. The air was charged gold, sickeningly radiant. They turned away from her. She heard their groans, their broken screams, and knew it was over. They were dancing, all of them. They cut an eerie sight to anyone who might see: contorted, twisting figures bent against their will like puppets being made to perform. It was painful, she knew that much. But she had to make them hurt. She had to make pain the only thing they could remember. That way, they couldn’t remember Etra. They couldn’t come after her. “For pity’s sake, mercy!” “Ungh… My arm—” At first they begged her to stop, but after a moment even that died away and there was nothing but gurgling, the shuffle of footsteps, the creaking and snapping of joints. I didn’t want to hurt you, she thought. I never do. But you… You’re the reason home isn’t home anymore. One last beat. One final encore. She strummed. The chord reached them, deep violet. They dropped to the floor instantly like discarded toys, unconscious and forgetful. And Sona disappeared into the silence of the woods. Sona was left in a monastery as an infant in the Ionia province of Galrin. No other clue about her origins is known besides a mysterious magical instrument that was delivered with her. She has a close relationship with the other children on the monastery as they would seek comfort with her. She was moved to Demacia with other children when Noxus started its invasion on Ionia, around 985 AN. She was eventually adopted into the Buvelle noble house, who were art patrons of the nation, because they took interest in her musical abilities. Some years later, around the year 990 AN, her adoptive father was killed in the Battle of the Gates of Mourning. The family mourned, so Lestara took Sona back to Ionia, so she could understand more of herself. At some point, Sona would aid An icon representing Ryze Ryze against the Navori Brotherhood so he could gather a World Rune. When Sona perceived the animosity and disunion that struck the First Lands, she decided that was no place for her in Ionia anymore and she went back to Demacia with her mother. Sona is a very graceful and elegant young woman. She best (and primarily) expresses herself through her music (although she also as the ability to express her thoughts and communicate with others via telepathic speech), which is best known for it's melodious nature. This highly reflects her gracious and refined personality. Sona is a very caring and gentle woman who helps out others in need and comforts those in need. "Adagio" = slow tempo, also 'gently' / 'gracefully' / 'leisurely'. "Andante" = medium tempo, also 'agilely' / 'lightly'. "Allegro" = fast tempo, also 'brisk' and 'lively' / 'cheerful'. "Allegrissimo" = very fast tempo (also superlative of "allegro") "Brioso, brioso!" = play with vigor, also 'vivacious' / 'high-spirited'. "Sforzando = play with additional stress/prominence, meaning "with force". "Ostinato" = a repeated motif or phrase. "Crescendo" is both the act of gradually increasing the stress or loudness, as well as the highest or loudest point in a musical act My husband was never fearful of mages. Indeed, we both unknowingly welcomed one into our home and our family, and we would never allow her to be taken from us. An icon representing Sona Sona, our adoptive daughter, sits beside me today, her tears falling silently as she averts her gaze from the Mageseeker. “He saw the horrors that threaten to devour Demacia from within, and he dedicated his time and efforts to supporting organizations that would eat away at that rot,” Eldred says with an eelish smile. “And his support meant the world to those of us whose lives revolve around securing Demacia’s future.” It stings to hear my husband so misrepresented. Jarvan III is the last to speak before the family. He catches my eye from the dais, still clutching Barrett’s ragged blue tabard, and speaks his words directly to me. “Barrett Buvelle was as a brother to me. Without him... I would not be the man I am today. The leader I am today. I am not ashamed to say that I would be a more thoughtless man. A more reckless man. A man who could love deeply but struggled to put that love into word or deed. But his friendship changed me, helped me be the husband and father and king that I am today. Barrett touched the soul of every person he met, and made them better for it.” “Finally,” Sona signs to me, “someone is speaking of Father as he actually was.” It’s true. I knew that if anyone would do so today, it would be Jarvan. “That he has been ripped away from us, when he had so much more to give this world, is simply unbearable. He was not a man for whom war was easy, but he was a man who made war easier by giving freely of his time and love to the Demacians who fought for their country. And for it... for this love, for our country and our countrymen, he was stolen from us. “So I swear, by the swords of the An icon representing Morgana Winged An icon representing Kayle Protectors, that I will hold responsible those who took him from me. From all of us. If it takes me a lifetime, so be it, for my love for him did not die with him. It will die with me.” It feels as though my heart has been plunged into ice water. The king stares at me for another moment before nodding very slightly, the way Barrett used to when he made a promise. I realize that he believes this is what I want, too. Applause rocks through the room, echoing and echoing and growing louder. The whole hall is filled with bloodthirsty people, willing to send more Demacians to die for... for what? Revenge? False justice? This is not what Barrett would have wanted. Before I know it, Kahina is helping me stand, gesturing toward the dais. She looks at me with those same piercing eyes her father had and offers a quick smile. “You can do this, Mother,” she signs to me. “I am here for you.” “We both are,” signs Sona. My sweet girls. Two gifts that my husband and I were able to give each other, and the world. My throat is raw, and my voice comes out as a ragged whisper. I cough and try again to limited success, but the din of the room has quieted. “I do not have the words to tell you about how much my husband cared for the people of Demacia,” I say, willing my voice to remain steady. “Instead, I will do as he would have done, and show you.” I look around at the highborn people surrounding me, with the same fire in my words that I had the first time I had stood in this room. “I am donating the Buvelle residence within the Great City to the people of Demacia, in my husband’s honor. It will become a library, populated with our own private collection, for any Demacian to use at any time.” A ripple of murmured shock spreads throughout the room. Other nobles do not allow the ordinary citizenry to peruse their book collections. Indeed, I imagine the thought that anyone could educate themselves to be distasteful to some. Barrett and I, however, first discussed the library years ago, and he loved the idea of providing for the Demacian people beyond the basics for survival. It is the least I could do to honor him, especially when others tried to honor him so poorly. “Our daughter Sona has composed a song in memory of her father that she would like to play. Sona?” Sona stands, her etwahl strung across her back, and trades places with me at the dais, where the etwahl’s wooden stand is already in place. As I sit beside Kahina once again, my husband’s cinerarium now in my arms, Kahina whispers in my ear, “He would have loved this. It is the right thing to do.” “I know it is,” I say, and squeeze her hand as Sona plays the first few notes on her instrument. It takes only six measures before her song has moved everyone within the Hall of Valor to tears. “It would only be for a few months,” the Illuminator finished breathlessly. “Would you be able to help sponsor the welfare of these children while they are in our care?” Barrett and I looked at one another. “I think we can do a bit more than that,” Barrett said with a smile. “How many of these war orphans are there?” “We are caring for nine, though two of them are ill and they might not last the week. An icon representing Sona One of them also doesn’t speak, and we aren’t sure yet if that’s something we can heal.” “Can you spare one of your healers until they are well again?” “Well... yes, that should be doable.” “Then bring them all here,” Barrett said, nodding. “We have the room and the resources to help these children, and you’ll be able to focus on finding them families to stay with long-term.” The Illuminator thanked us profusely for opening our home. We had never housed so many children before, and never from outside Demacia. But Demacians are not the only people in the world, which means they are not the only people worth helping when they are in need. I remember Kahina became terribly excited, and she spent time researching Ionia with her tutors to see if there was any way we could make the children more comfortable. Any holidays we could celebrate together, things like that. Barrett and I did what we could to ready the rooms, and worked together to prepare an enormous first meal for them all. When the children arrived, we realized that none of them spoke Demacian. So Barrett and Kahina took it upon themselves to find another way to communicate, one that involved a lot of pointing and hand gestures and facial expressions. I heard the house ring with laughter that evening. But I wandered away when I heard music. I couldn’t think of where it could be coming from, so I followed it throughout the house, checking room by room to see what I could find. Then, I saw her. Sona. Her face so serious, playing an instrument three times her size, swaying in time with her own music. She started when I entered the room, but she didn’t stop playing. It was the most beautiful music I had ever heard. Barrett found me there, leaning back against the doorframe, sometime later in the evening. “Lestara? Is everything...” He lost his train of thought as soon as the music hit him. All too soon, the small girl stopped playing and stared back at us with enormous eyes. Barrett and I exchanged glances. Then, he waved at the girl. Just a little wave, to say hello. She smiled, and her smile was as bright as the moon. She waved back shyly, then walked over and sat just in front of us. “I think this is the girl they said couldn’t speak,” Barrett said gently. “I don’t think she needs to.” I remember feeling like I knew everything about her, just from listening to her play. It had felt like a conversation, one that went deeper than words. Barrett looked back at me. After a moment, he smiled and gave me a small nod. We hosted those nine orphaned children for about three months. Eight of them left. Sona stayed. I had wondered for some time about Sona’s instrument, but it became clear after a few years that there was more to it than beautiful music. he entire day has left me drained, and my daughters help me to my feet as the last of the noble guests trickle out of the gardens. “Should we take you home?” Sona asks. I can tell she’s worried about me, she’s been doting on me all day, but I know the grief has been taking its toll on her as well. Sona touches the petricite seal to Barrett’s tomb, and I see that she is shaken by this news as well. Kahina joining the Illuminators would mean that Sona is the only remaining heir. Far from the Citadel of Dawn, Sona dragged her trunk out from beneath her bed, trying to keep from waking her sister sleeping down the hall, and began emptying her closet. Almost all of it was the things she would wear when performing, and very little of it was particularly practical. Certainly it was not the usual attire for a runaway teenager. But if she was going to support herself away from home, she would need her music and her performance skills to do it. In the three weeks since her father had died, things already felt so different in Demacia. She knew that the war the king wanted to wage would not be against the Noxians. It would be against people like her... and Sona was all too aware that her mother could not protect her the way that her father could, as the king’s best friend. So she was leaving. Leaving before anything else could go wrong. Leaving before anyone could stop her. Or so she had hoped. Sona heard the front door open—that would be her mother, finally returning home. She can’t stop me, she thought as she ran her hand along the side of her etwahl. I can make sure she doesn’t. Lestara took one look through Sona’s door and nodded, her hands settling comfortably and easily into the signs as she told her daughter in no uncertain terms, “I’m coming with you.” Sona chased after her mother as she strode toward her own bedroom. “Mother, you don’t even know where I’m going!” she signed frantically as soon as Lestara could see her hands. “It doesn’t matter. I’m going with you. I’ll pack my things now, we’ll leave within the week.” “Mother—” Lestara gave her daughter a sad smile. “Sona. When have you been able to talk me out of anything once I’ve set my mind to it?” And with that, she walked away. Sona didn’t realize she was crying until she looked out her window and felt the cold night air across her face. This isn’t fair, she thought. I don’t want to leave. This is my home. But was it? Was it still? With her father gone, could it ever be again? As she often did when she did not know what else to do, Sona sat down at her etwahl and began to play. The mournful melody drifted out through her window echoing down the streets of the Great City, through the Citadel, even past the walls. Those who heard it did not know why they began to weep. But Sona knew. They cried for the death of a man without equal. And they cried for the country he had once bettered with his presence, now forever changed in his absence. Sona knew. And so she wept, and she played.
