Sonya is a Barbarian. After surviving the destruction of her home and death of her tribe, she wanders Sanctuary in search of battle and a better life for her people.[2]
In-game
Sonya appears in Heroes of the Storm as a female representative of the Barbarian class as it appears in Diablo III, phenotypically taking after her. There has been no in-universe use of her character however.
In combat, she retains Wrath of the Berserker, Whirlwind, Leap, Ancient Spear and Seismic Slam skills, and Fury is her passive trait. The passive talents also include Ignore Pain and Nerves of Steel.
It appears that her blades are inspired by Blackguard and Warmonger. Her armor looks similar to Jazeraint Mail.
Trivia
- She may have been named after and / or inspired by Red Sonja.
