Sonia Nevermind

Sonia Nevermind (ソニア・ネヴァーマインド Sonia Nevāmaindo) is one of the characters featured in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. She has the title Ultimate Princess (超高校級の王女 chō kōkō-kyū no ōjo). She is the princess of Novoselic, which is a small European monarchy. At the end of the game, she and the other survivors managed to escape to the real world.

Appearance
Sonia has knee-length blonde hair with pale skin and light green eyes. During gameplay, she wears a green and white dress with a large red ribbon on the chest and a black ribbon in her hair.

Personality
Sonia is a cheerful and polite girl. She is very kind and thoughtful, and she cares deeply for her friends. She is also rather gullible and innocent. Sonia is fascinated with serial killers and the occult, and has actually stated that she likes Friday the 13th. While very friendly, her commands are rather assertive.

Pre-Despair Incident
Before travelling to Japan, Sonia lived a comfortable life in the kingdom of Novoselic. She eventually became interested in Japanese culture, and travelled to the country to study it.

Island Life of Mutual Killing
During the events of the game, Sonia states that she won't let herself be killed nor kill any of her friends. Her words come true, and she is one of the survivors at the end of the game.

In Chapter 1, Sonia was eager to clean the Old Lodge, but Komaeda was elected to clean it instead of her. In Chapter 2, she held a girls-only party at the beach, at which most of the girls on the island were in attendance. Sonia plays a key role in Chapter 3, by telling the other students that Saionji goes to the crime scene of her own will.

Confronting Junko Enoshima, the Bug
After witnessing her fallen friends fall one by one through this sadistic game, Sonia would vow to stay alive. Along with others, Sonia is in disbelief that Hinata is actually Enoshima's pawn for her sadistic project (which previously thwarted by Naegi and friends).

After the defeat of Enoshima and the virtual version of Nanami had finally gone, Sonia is one of the few survived.

Relationships
Sonia has been seen mainly with Gundam and Souda. Although Souda has made it apparent that he has a liking for Sonia, she is more interested in Gundam and finds him 'intriguing'.
