Crimson Covenant

When a battle starts, Sonja forms Crimson Covenant with two allies placed to her left and right (prioritizing those in the front over those in the back), increasing their ATK by 10% and their Phys & Magic DEF by 15%. While Crimson Covenant is active, the two allies gain an extra 3% ATK and 4% Phys & Magic DEF every 6s, stacking up to 6 times. Sonja is immune to all control effects while casting this skill. Crimson Covenant is terminated if either of the buffed allies is defeated. In this case, Sonja absorbs the accumulated stat bonuses from both allies, gaining them for herself until the battle ends.

Lv.131Grants allies with Crimson Covenant an extra 4% ATK and 5% Phys & Magic DEF every 6s.

STORY

**Affinity Tales**

• Before joining the Carmine Whispers, Sonja was just another orphan, scrapping her way through the streets of Rustport with Nara. Though they were inseparable, almost no one knew they weren't bound by blood.

• Life at Rustport was merciless for orphans. To survive, Sonja had to cut off her long hair, hacking away unevenly until Nara quietly took the scissors and finished the job.

• As a leader, Sonja knows that weakness is a luxury she can't afford. She has no particular likes, but she places a single carmine rose by her bedside every morning - a ritual only she understands.

• Since she became the head of the Carmine Whispers, Rustport has changed. Streets once ruled by chaos now have some order, and orphans have access to education and a steady supply of food.

• Sonja's already reserved a burial plot for herself. It's on a hillside with a view of the sea.

• Sonja would take Nara to the beach, where they'd send little paper boats afloat, filled with petals, seeds, soil, and even dolls. Watching the boats carry their wishes out to sea was a rare moment of peace in their young lives.

• Sonja's fierce determination set her apart among the Carmine Whispers' adopted children. Every day, she fought to become stronger, haunted by nightmares of shipwrecks where she could barely hold onto Nara's hand.

• From above Rustport, Sonja watches her domain - ships in the harbor, travelers, children at play, gang thugs on the prowl - and sees her own fate reflected in their lives.

• In the gang, Sonja's reputation precedes her. No one dares meet her gaze, save for Lucca. From the moment they met, she knew she'd found something close to a kindred spirit.

• Sonja became the Carmine Whispers' heir only after defeating all other candidates. When Tesio pinned the carmine rose emblem over her heart, she felt no joy or sorrow - only exhaustion.
