Found in the Shroud and adopted in infancy by Hyur artisans, Sohna was raised in Gridania, away from traditional Keeper culture.Sohna learned after the Calamity that she is a wildling; the bells they hear at all times are the elementals, constantly calling her back to their side.No one, not even E-Sumi-Yan, knows what she might have done to draw the elementals' attention. Stillglade Fane kept a close eye on her throughout her youth.

While Sohna is a gifted piper and singer, her stagefright keeps her from performing in public.They are an accomplished botanist but not affiliated with the guild, and they also enjoy making ice cream and baked goods for friends and loved ones.After losing many of their childhood memories during the Calamity, Sohna carries a sketch journal everywhere to catalog her adventures and experiences.

Sohna is always looking for new music to learn and new green places to discover.Due to her upbringing underfoot in the Shaded Bower, she has an excellent eye for quality bows and staves, and she is gifted at defusing tense conversations.They would like to know more about their Keeper heritage someday.

So you found a cool plant, mushroom, or other thing in the shroud, huh? Sohna could tell you something about it, including whether or not you should eat it.Heard any good music lately?Fancy a walk through the woods?General Note: I love snappy dialogue, fun and silly scenarios, and character-building opportunities!
