Personality-
Sonya is ambitious, confident, independent, loyal and generous. She is smart and refined; though this very feature of her personality often subjects her to become somewhat vain and overbearing. Her personality at its best is that of a bright, shining light that easily holds all her subjects within a safe, secure orbit around herself.
Sonya is a warm, caring, giving person who often makes it her mission to make the lives of those around her very comfortable as long as she feels appreciation for her efforts. However, without enough appreciation, Sonya can become domineering, bossy, and stubborn, believing she is right and everyone else is wrong. Sonya funnily enough is also extremely sensitive to criticism and will rarely forgive a perceived slight. She is intelligent and motivated, and often seeks out situations that put her in the spotlight, where she can be very effective. Again, however, if her ego is left unchecked, she will become quite arrogant, doing things that are not acceptable "because she can."
The desire to be in the spotlight surfaced early in her life, she was given plenty of opportunities to shine in various situations, where she felt she was in her element. Despite her sometimes outwardly proud, confident personality, Sonya is very much appreciative of safe, stable routine in her life, so she makes it a point to try to and keep everything on a predictable schedule in her life. She is sometimes outgoing and gregarious with others, but can easily become bossy and overbearing, trying to control everything and everyone around her. Casual criticism that other people might shrug off is perceived by Sonya as a blow to her very core.
Sonya is a strong, intelligent, ambitious natural leader who will organize and motivate others. She is a take-charge type of person who can make a real difference in the workplace, as long as her tendency to become overbearing is kept in check, which is often difficult to do. Sonya loves prestige, and jobs with prestigious titles are very attractive to her, particularly any position that gives her some decision making leeway. Again, her proud facade may belie some inward insecurity, so criticism should be done gently and diplomatically.
If you have the joys of meeting her, you will no doubt quickly notice the super-ego qualities inherent in her personality. If you can provide the right amount of attention and appreciation, Sonya will in return shower you with the same. Sonya is going to want to be the dominant party whether that is in a friendship, partnership or other, so you must be willing to take second seat if you want to make it with her. If you try to gain control, expect explosive arguments and a power struggle that you will probably eventually lose.
Sonya is a charismatic leader that will take charge and draw followers. She has very fixed opinions and will resist attempts to change those opinions, a trait that others may find somewhat off-putting at times. However, if you give her what she needs, she will in return give you with plenty of friendship, warmth, and loyalty.
Funnily enough though Sonya likes order, she is profoundly known to be a little haphazard in her endeavours. She often shoots first, asks questions later. She’s extremely brave and often driven by pride, as she sometimes deems herself better than others thus somewhat invincible. Her pride is something that evidently clouds her judgment at the best of times. Sonya has the heart of a lion, she’s extremely brave and willing to put her own ass on the line for those around her.

Abilities/Powers/Skills-
Camouflage - This ability allows Sonya to adjust her body and clothing (along with anything else on her person) to her surroundings. Sonya holds an empathic link with her surroundings wherever she goes. This empathic link allows Sonya to blend in and essentially, become camouflaged with her environment. Sonya can maintain this connection while in motion. This ability allows Sonya to become nearly invisible to the human eye and makes her a master of deception and stealth.
Limits-
Camouflage - Sonya does not need to hold continuous concentration when using this ability. She merely needs to feel the want to use her powers and blend in, and she will, until she decides to no longer do so. Sonya's power holds two very important limitations. First and foremost, Sonya still casts a shadow when camouflaged with her surroundings. Even if she is blending in, she must be careful as to where she is standing so that she does not create a noticeable shadow. In addition, Sonya's camouflage can be interrupted if she is struck physically, thus temporarily disabling it.
Appearance-
Sonya is of Vietnamese and French descent. She has dark brown (almost black) hair and deep hazel eyes. Her skin colour is a very light olive shade and her complexion particularly clear. Sonyas has a round face, which points off at the chin and square slightly at the jaw. She has quite long, but rounded deep set eyes and fuller lips making both features the focal point of her face. Though, she tends to accentuate her eyes most with makeup.
Sonya stands at a height of about 5’11. She has a small framed body, but because she is athletic and most of her body is made of muscle she still looks healthy. She doesn’t concern too much about her diet, but she does like to keep in shape which often means many hours spent training to keep herself physically fit and her body well toned. With a lot of time spent working out, she doesn’t consider much time on dolling herself up. She does wear makeup, but keeps it to a minimal.
When it comes to clothing, Sonya wears pants a lot of the time and the reason for this is that she never knows when she’s going to be on the move. The last thing she wants is to be restricted by the clothing she is wearing. She’s not shy when it comes to dressing up but there is a time and a place for it.

History-
Sonya Dupree was born to Joseph Dupree and Navia Chau on January 1st, 1979 in Oahu, Hawaii. Joseph and Navia first met elsewhere, though. Joseph and Navia's story begins during the Vietnam War. Joseph, a high ranking military official was on active duty amidst the war-torn country. However, due to the nature of Joseph's high military status, he was not your typical soldier. No, Joseph functioned in more of a behind the scenes, strategist type of role. Joseph was a planner. Sure, he'd seen his time in the fray of battle. Yet, now, after several successful tours of duty, Joseph had risen up through the ranks of the United States military. Now, Joseph was beginning to get comfortable. Going to Vietnam, Joseph expected the worst. Yet, the one thing Joseph did not expect was to fall in love... That was of course, until he met Navia... And as they say, the rest was history...
That is, until Sonya was born... Joseph who's job had taken he and his wife all around the world, had landed the happy couple in Oahu. Sonya gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and the young man and women, honestly could not have been happier. They were parents... Who would have ever expected that? Not the two of them to say the very least. The small family moved around fairly, from military base to military base, wherever Joseph's job took them. Eventually, though, after another promotion, Joseph and his family were finally able to settle down, and through the use of a few back-channel agreements, Navia was granted American citizenship.
To put is simply, Sonya had a very normal family life growing up. Sonya's family wasn't well off... But they weren't poor either. They road the middle ground along with much of the United States. Sonya's family life was fantastic, she got along with her parents and her two siblings amazingly. To be honest, they were nearly inseparable. The family was glued together and nothing could break that bond. Sonya has always been a hard worker and has always applied herself to the fullest potential when doing anything. Sonya excelled academically, while also performing superbly in athletics. In school, Sonya participated in the swim and gymnastics team. However, it was out of school and with her father, that Sonya began to really excel athletically. Joseph began to teach Sonya how to defend herself, and the young woman picked it up quite naturally. Soon enough, Sonya began practicing Taekwando and Eskrima regularly after school, and before she knew it, Sonya was entering competitions to display her own prowess in the realm of martial arts.
After high school and college, Sonya got a good job as a police officer within the SWAT division, where she worked for a few years. Sonya was good at her job. She was a damn good shot with a weapon and more than proficiently deadly with her hands. After a few years on the job, Sonya's ability manifested... Which really only served to help her further in the long run. However, with most people's careers, Sonya's began to shift and change course as she grew older. Everything changed drastically though, out of sheer accident. Really, Sonya had just been in the right place at the right time... Yet, that was really all that was enough. Sonya happened to be in the same vicinity of a certain governor during an assassination attempt, and the young woman reacted out of pure instinct, stopping the assailant entirely, without any harm to the governor. Before she knew it, Sonya had been asked to be a part of the governor's security detail, and continued to get other security jobs on the side. The crowning achievement was what had yet to come for Sonya, though. Soon enough, through word of mouth, Sonya's name had been mentioned, dropped and passed along to the head-honcho's of a high-tech multi-million dollar corporation: Ark Industries. Though Sonya was smart... She wasn't a genius... Yet, Ark Industries wanted Sonya for much, much more. Sonya was to head up the entire security detail for Ark Industries, where she could utilize not only her entire career's worth of knowledge, but also her power to the fullest potential.
Anything else?- Sonya's mother used to work for The Company giving Sonya connections to the company.
Sample RP-
It was rush hour and the streets of New York City were choked with traffic. The stress were milling with NY residence passing on the dull lit up and crowded sidewalks. The streets were so busy, like always, but what was expected on a Friday evening like this? Sonya kept herself to her own; because tonight she did not need or wish to draw any unnecessary attention to herself. Tonight she had one thing on her mind and as ever that was work. Sonya was a hard working woman. She was driven, dedicated, knew exactly what she wanted and just how to get it. She was only in her early thirties, which meant the world was still her oyster but Sonya, right now was comfortable with her current position and occupation.
As she turned the corner she found herself on a desolate sidewalk leading past the backs of several closed stores, each with large metal shutters, padlocked for the night. She often took a detour taking the back streets because that’s when she usually ran into trouble. Most people would turn a blind eye or even so (as she had seen on more than one occasion) run off in the opposite direction. Sonya wasn’t like that at all, she feared nothing, and invited risks that others would avoid. The fact was, Sonya could hold her own back and she knew that so regardless of whatever she was faced with she knew she would come out on top. How could she be sure? Simple, because she wouldn’t back down, she never backed down unless she won.
She’d taken a short cut to reach her point of origin, via some backstreets. These backstreets were the kind that were barely lit, where the thick night air swamped around a particular area making it near enough impossible to see thought. Still, a confident Sonya meandered onward. She stopped at an apartment building, letting her hazel eyes scale the outside of it. It was quiet out, but she couldn’t help notice the black SUV with blacked out windows, parked on the curb at the opposite side of the road. She glanced toward it then back at the apartment complex, before side stepping and ducking down into a nearby alleyway on the side of the building.
It was there that she took the fire escape up and came to one of the windows on the 5th floor. She ran her gloved fingers across the glass pain before dropping them to the wooden frame which she began to slowly pull upward. She bought her hand to her back, pulling out the small pistol that dug under the belt of her pants. Gripping it tight, she brushed the net covering the window aside and slowly poked her head. Darkness was all that met her; this apartment was empty right now. Sonya began to slither her way through the small gap in the window, letting herself inside.
Once in she began to take a good look around, to ensure that she was indeed alone. She didn’t need any surprises now did she? The dark haired female moved around the apartment, taking in her surroundings before the door knob began to turn. Someone was coming inside. Sonya made sure to move back to the window and gently slid it down just as the door open. Light shone from outside, into the room only sparing a little light inside. The lights were shortly flicked on, blinding light over powering the room diminishing the darkness entirely.
She was stood there in clear view, yet he missed her. It wasn’t him merely missing seeing her, it was because she couldn’t be seen. This ability of hers sure did have its perks; she had easily blended in against the patterned back wall adjacent to the man. She was stood there watching him, and he had no idea of it. Either way if he did find her or not it wouldn’t matter, she wasn’t here for him. Well, not specifically anyway...she was here to watch him, to protect him from whoever it was waiting outside in the black SUV. They were waiting for him to come home and now that he had, it wouldn’t be long before they came knocking. She was ready, ready and waiting to strike at any given minute now.
Only minutes passed by before her assumptions had been correct and just lock that, a knock came at the front door. This guy, he was none the wiser..in fact, he had no idea that anyone was after him. Well, this was his lucky day, because if it wasn’t for Sonya being here right now, this guy would have been a sitting duck. The door rapped heavily, the man made his way toward it and just has her turned the lock BANG! The door was kicked wide open and array of bullets spitting in all directions. The man, as you would hit the deck, covering his ears and scurried behind the chair closest to him for cover.
Bullets tore into his furniture, popping holes in the sofa, imbedding into the walls and doorframes. In a mere few seconds, his once spick and span home had turned into a fucking god awful mess. She stood there, still in her place against the wall and watched as three men entered. Each was armed, but the first had the biggest fire power which told her that he had to be dealt with first. She waited, still unnoticed and just as he moved past her she pounced.
Swinging her arm at him, she coiled it around his neck and pulled his back against her chest. Gripping him tight around the throat her free hand gripped at his semi-automatic. She used his body as a shield as the other two reached for their guns, which really they should have already had out. Before they could make another move for their guns, she rained bullets into them before tossing the first guy aside and shooting him with his own gun. That had been too easy. She spoke to soon as another four came in from behind.
They shot at her; she dived and rolled behind the sofa, taking the semi automatic with her as she pressed her back against the couch. She eyed the gun before sliding it toward the terrified man who’d almost been painted across his apartment walls. She pointed at him “You. Stay!” she ordered sternly. Within a second she jumped to her feet, once more disappearing from view which prompted the men to simply shoot at the place she had previously been in and then followed the wall around, the bullets followed in a trail behind her as she ran toward them, her body changing to match the background with each step before then allowing herself to stand out as she leapt in the air.
Sonya kicked scissor kicked the first guy out of the way, before allowing her flailing legs to wrap themselves around the seconds guys neck. She flung him to the ground and landed on her feet, lifting her left knee up into the gut of the third before finally smashing her right elbow down on the fourth guys face. She stood there between all four bodies, that lay on the grown disarmed by a single female in under five seconds flat. Now, that was something of a challenge.
Her eyes observed the total of seven bodies that lay in this apartment, all face down on the ground and all at the cause of her hands. She smirked as she nodded satisfied at her own handy work. Her attention soon diverted from herself and toward the snivelling mess of a man who was still cowering behind the single armchair in the lounge. This was going to be a long night.
