IC INFORMATION Character's Name: Mion Sonozaki Age: 17 Canon: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Canon Point: Post Minagoroshi-hen Species: Human (with oni lineage) Gender: Female Orientation: Heterosexual, most likely. She's only ever been seen having an interest in boys, namely her blatant crush on Keiichi, which is canon.
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.
Abilites:
Mion is gifted with super-strength. This is basically a Charles Atlas Superpower in-universe. Her level of strength is not unheard of in a human being, but it's certainly odd that a teenage girl can overpower a group of military-trained armed adult men with nothing but her bare hands. This is most likely due to her oni ancestry, as as far as the legends go, oni were said to be the strongest of the strong. She can also hold her booze magnificently well. The oni are drinkers.
She's also fairly good at cooking, sewing/making clothes, and being a jackass.
She wasn't sure about how she felt being made to go to school once more. This was a big school. She'd heard about them before, the big schools out in the city, the ones with multiple floors, nearly a hundred classrooms. It was odd, compared to Hinamizawa's single-room schoolhouse, with grades four through twelve mixed together. Apparently this place only had highschoolers. How crazy was that? She'd heard of this type of school from Shion, but never thought she'd actually see one in person, let alone attend one. The unused classrooms she found struck a sad note in her, though, as she pattered through the halls after being told to go home for the day.
Mion was alone. No one was there to walk home with her, no one to hit with her bag and then have a race down the dirt roads, laughing until it hurt. So many of these rooms were unused, gone to waste, when so many of her own days were in a little classroom filled to the brim. It was nice to sit in them, alone. Granted she ollied on out before the building was closed up for the day, and left if she was told to, but...
A certain unease welled up inside of her whenever she had to think about home. Did she really get killed? Was she really shot, by...by...Takano? She found it hard to believe a regular old kindly nurse could be the orchestrator of widescale demise, but memories were memories, and hers didn't seem to be lying to her. She still wondered what that void was, though. What did Rika call it, a kakera space? Kakera, huh...She wasn't sure if she believed that either. Was it really possible to jump through worlds like that, and if it was, did Keiichi really go succumb to that awful disease and kill her, in one of these other universes? How many of them were murderers? If someone she knew showed up here, what would they remember?
It was almost too much to bear. At least she was able to get a sewing machine here. Maybe she could make new costumes, if her friends ever turned up.
Yeah...that was a reason to look up.
