Sonya is the chief engineer on The Neptune, a submarine. Despite only joining the crew a few years ago, she has risen as a queen-like presence on the submarine. The rundown vessel is spared from frequent breakdowns, thanks to her exceptional skills.
Just like the captain, Sonya longs to find the “Sunken Nation”, but she is only interested in the treasure. Some are surprised by her belief in the elusive legend, given how rational and wise she is. The truth is, Sonya had already secured clues leading to the underwater nation from various ancient ruins around the world even before joining The Neptune. She believes she will find her long-desired treasure with her wisdom and Hendrik's vessel.

Mangrove Frog Story
Initially, Sonya boarded The Neptune as a prisoner. When Captain Hendrik realized she could let herself free using her skills and intelligence, and no one could stop her, he simply allowed her to roam freely on the vessel.
Everyone knows that Sonya and Hendrik are merely using each other. Once there is a conflict of interests, they will turn against each other. At least for now, their “partnership” has been going well. The crew members find Sonya intimidating not only because of her physical prowess but also because she knows everyone's secrets and weaknesses and how to exploit them.
Sonya's desire for wealth stems from her past.
As a distant relative of the old kingdom's royal family, she used to live an extravagant life but lost everything on the day Sunfire Castle fell. Years of homelessness and destitution gave her a hard time and stripped her of dignity. Although she has gradually mastered the law of survival in the icy post-apocalyptic world, she finds herself increasingly convinced that money is the sole path to redemption and the ultimate truth! Hence, she spares no effort in seeking the opportunities to get rich.
Her outstanding knowledge and combat skills gained during her time as a wanderer drew invitations from the Dawn Alliance, the mercenaries, and even the Phaethon. However, she was not satisfied with the “meager” pay they offered, so she focused all her attention on the treasures across the world instead.
During her treasure hunt, she stumbled upon clues regarding a “Sunken Nation.” She intentionally got herself captured by Captain Hendrik, as she needed his expensive vessel to locate the mysterious realm hidden underwater. She believes that once she discovers the lost treasure, she will become the wealthiest person in the entire tundra. She will then rebuild the kingdom of Solaris and crown herself as the new queen.
