In Character Information
Name: Mion Sonozaki
Series: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
Age: 17
Birthday & Astrology Sign: February 11 & Aquarius (canon)
Arcana: Hanged Man

AU | Previous Game Backstory:
Game premise. Mion arrived in Mayfield in December (2011, outside of the game), therefore spending about 10 months in the game. For most of her stay, she lived in the standard nuclear housing arrangement with Marisa Kirisame, Ciel (Tsukihime), and Spades Slick. Mion spent most of her down time (read: when she wasn't being tortured with events) practicing her sewing, being obnoxious, and/or chillin' with Rika and Rena. Also trying not to lose her mind, she did a pretty good job with that. Rika and Rena were her only long-term canonmates for her stay. She also managed to strike up a odd sort-of-friendship with Marisa, as well as Hayate Ayasaski and Eridan Ampora.

The events came either once a month or once every two months, the first one being Mion's first month in the town. Mion managed to hold herself together with the knowledge of "I'm already dead back home, this place is all I have now," so there was little reckless fighting from her. However, she did bite the bullet and explore the unlocked dairy processor with Eridan, nearly getting caught in its explosion.

In June, there was an AU event, which involved...well, exactly what it hints at. Mion was switched over the Meakashi-hen universe, which turned her into a nervous wreck, what with watching her twin sister murder all of her friends and then push her down a well to her death. Fun times. After the event was over, the memories "faded" per se, and Mion believed them all a byproduct of Mayfield's insanity. 

Her next significant involvement with the game was the Carnival event, in which a local Carnival proceeded to swallow up anyone who wandered into the fun house, transporting them to a an alternate Mayfield that made them literally fight for their lives. A handful of Marisa's canonmates disappeared into the Carnival, and once the regular citizens were allowed to enter the Funhouse themselves, she bumped into Marisa inside and assisted her in leading her canonmates out.

Mion's last stand was traveling into one of Mayfield's "portals" with Rena and Bernkastel, in search of "keys" that would help them leave the town. In particular, Mion's group ended up in a rocky, mountainous region, and successfully found their key in time.

Though Mion was dropped before the game ended, she returned post-game with the rest of the droned characters at "the Better Place", a reformed town within Mayfield's simulation, but with less torture and insanity. She returned to living with Rika and Rena.

AU | Previous Game Differences (List form):
- Mion is a data copy of the canon Mion, created for use of the Mayfield program. While she'd probably be humanized in the game, she's still, in essence, a "clone."
- She's pretty much used to seeing magic and supernatural phenomenon at this point
- She knows about Bernkastel, the properties of kakera, and has minor knowledge about her connection to Rika
- She also has memories of the Meakashi-hen universe, but believes them to be fabricated by Mayfield, though she tried not to think of them at all
- She'd started to grow used to the setting of the 1950's, mainly their technology level, so it will take a little while for her to bounce back to a more updated world


Canon Standing: post Minagoroshi-hen in canon, and after Mayfield's endgame

Personality:

Mion is basically presented as a boisterous tomboy. She's stronger than she looks, is full of seemingly boundless energy, and lives to put her friends in embarrassing costumes for laughs. She's competitive to an absurd degree, in that she views card games as a life or death type of thing. Mion's incredibly sneaky and smart, knowing what exactly what to say and when to say it, and she can analyze things with an amount of insight not befitting a 17-year-old. Her sense of humor is ridiculously perverted and just plain old odd, to boot. Sticking her male best friend in a maid costume? Best time ever. She refers to herself not with a standard "I" pronoun, but "ojiisan"--meaning "old man." And her "winning strategies" are notably all corrupt, like playing with a deck she memorized or using verbal persuasion on the opponent. She takes Refuge In Audacity to a whole new level, like telling someone that they will have a stroke eventually, while wearing a cheery face. Every other thing she says is some level of "EXTREMELY INAPPROPRIATE."

 

If there's one thing Mion can get over the top about, though, it's pride. She has an overly large amount of pride for both her village and her family. She has no problem (ironically) calling herself the greatest at various things. She was one of the strongest supporters of the anti-dam construction movement, and even got briefly jailed for her violet actions as a protester. Being a Sonozaki by blood, she's said to be an oni, a demonic ogreish creature that supposedly crawled out of the Onigafuchi swamp before Hinamizawa was officially established. A normal person might protest this label. Who wants to get called an ogre, after all? Mion, however, does not mind, and even actively embraces her supposed demonic lineage. 

 

The Sonozakis are basically the only ones left standing strong of the former three great families of Hinamizawa, and when you are set up to one day become the leader of a clan that single-handedly supplies their village with weaponry and defense...you will be conditioned to that kinda stuff. Mion's an expert with firearms and fighting, and you really don't want to get into a skirmish with her. She's too used to the macabre and creepy, so not much actually scares her. Even when not serious, she's stupidly physical and likes rough-housing with everyone, pulling and pushing her friends around. In a way, she doesn't grasp the concept of personal space too easily. She likes to spook people for fun, too.

 

Despite her generally carefree attitude, Mion gets serious when the mood requires it. She knows dealing with the village's relations are no laughing matter, and treats all related duties with a composed and professional face. Her internal attitude is not the jokester she normally is, and she's protective of those she loves to ludicrous degrees, outright telling the Yamainu group who were hunting down the Hinamizawans  "Waste your bullets on me, but if you hurt one of my friends, you'll face a fate worse than hell!" She's willing to put her friends' needs above her own, as shown in the above quote as well as in Onikakushi-hen, where she believed Rena and Keiichi had a thing for each other, and started shipping them despite her own feeling for the latter. Mion is well-intentioned, even through her less than savory actions, such as keeping village secrets and information away from her friends, thinking they're better off not knowing the "horrible truths."

 

Mion is very, very strong, as well as very stubborn. She is the pillar of strength connecting the main characters, and by far she is the most mentally stable. Whereas most of her friends end up brutally murdering someone throughout the course of the series, she's predominately shown to always be in a position of sanity. It's been said she's killed out of jealousy in other kakera, and she briefly considered murdering her grandma for making the village shun the Houjou family to the point of actual abuse (Mion was close friends with the Houjou's two children), but overall you can pretty much count on her to keep a cool head and not go laughing mad on your ass, despite the rampant hate plague that affected virtually everyone else. The only down side to this is that Mion is too used to being a leader--she always takes the reigns and generally shows discomfort when not being the one in charge, cementing her as "rebellious" under other's orders.

 

Mion has a bond with her twin sister that is generally the stereotypical "deep twin bond" you see in media. Mion goes to her to talk, for advice, and will cry onto her shoulder. But Shion has the potential to completely go off the deep end, as she did in Watanagashi-hen and Meakashi-hen. Relying on an unstable, broken person has its consequences, which is just what happened to her in said arcs, while Shion was under the effects of the aforementioned hate plague. 

 

Inside, her insecurities are greater than she's willing to admit. "Awkward teenage girl" would describe that side of her, as she's unable to properly interpret physical affection and sincere compliments. Despite her generally lecherous mind, when it comes down to actual sexual things, she can turn into a massive prude, blushing and blubbering like an idiot. Because of the high standards pushed on her from a young age, she has a very difficult time telling people how she feels, or saying "hard" things. She tends to let her feelings bottle up and bottle up until the pressure gets much too great. She wants to dress girly, and be treated like a girl instead of just "some roughhousing kid" or "one of the guys" but she's far too shy to actually admit that.
 

Key Personality Differences:
Mion is a bit more solemn and serious than in canon, but it's not too huge of a difference. Mayfield didn't do quite as much of a number on her as others, actually. She's also a bit more attached to Rika and Rena, seeing as they were the only people she knew from home, for quite a while. The AU event also changed her view of Shion, being that she feels she could not look at her sister in quite the same way after getting memories of her going on a murder spree, even if Mion feels the memories were fake.

Canon Powers:

Mion is gifted with super-strength (physical-class). This is basically a Charles Atlas Superpower in-universe. Her level of strength is not unheard of in a human being, but more to that of a combat-trained professional as opposed to a teenage girl with amateur training. This is most likely due to her supposed oni ancestry, as as far as the legends go, oni were said to be the strongest of the strong. She can hold her booze magnificently well, too. The oni are drinkers. 

 

 

Canon Weapons|Items:
She has an airsoft pistol and an AK-47 assault rifle. She uses the rifle sparingly, though, and has only deployed in Mayfield during one of the riot-type events. Both would be physical class.

Canon Allies:
None.

Canon Baggage:
A handful of her canon clothes, her bicycle, and a few 1950's-style boardgames she nabbed from Mayfield's rec center.
