Character Information
Name: Mion Sonozaki
Source Canon: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
Age: 17
Role In Canon: One of the main protagonists.
History: Mion's Wiki page.
Personality: Mion is a strange, energetic, and confident seventeen-year-old tomboy. She is so much a tomboy that she, her friends, and everyone else in her hometown refers to her as an 'Old Man' or 'Uncle Mion'; most of this is the result of her strange and generally not (for 1983 Japan) lady-like behavior, such as talking about her breasts, asking about other people's underwear, shoving people into her breasts, making boys and girls wear embarrassing clothing, and being physically aggressive with her friends like a schoolboy.
Part of the reason for this behavior is partly because it is simply who Mion is in reality, but also because she's the next heir to the Sonozaki family after her grandmother, which means that she'll be the next person in charge of their hometown and in charge of their family's yakuza connections--not a normal 'girly' adult life to be saddled with right from birth. She needs to be strong, smart, sneaky, and aggressive, hence the development of her personality. Now, as a teenager, she exaggerates a bit of this personality to compensate for the fact she has developed a more 'feminine' side (being in love with a boy, liking dolls, enjoying cooking, etc) and is unsure as to how to accept that side of her when she thinks no one she knows would believe she has such a side.
Her 'feminine' side is becoming a more and more important part of her as time goes by, which is troubling because, again, she doesn't have the faintest clue what to do with it. As a result, she does her best to hide and deny it, particularly anything that may suggest she's got feelings for Keiichi. Despite being in love with the boy, she is terrified of telling him (One: she knows he thinks of her as 'best friends'; two: she thinks he and Rena or another girl may have something; three: her mother was ostracized from the family and denied the headship of the household due to marrying a man from outside Hinamizawa like Keiichi and thinks her family doesn't like him--which the joke is on her, as her entire family including her terrifying grandmother adores him and wants them together) which leads to plenty of teenage angst. She tends to let off this angst by confiding in her twin sister, Shion.
Mion takes her role as 'Games Club President' seriously, despite it seeming to be nothing more than a silly excuse to hang out at school; in actuality, she originally created the club for the express purpose of making sure Rika Furude and Satoko Hojo weren't lonely at school, because the latter tended to be ignored by the population and was also unable to play outside for some time due to a health condition; the former was Satoko's only friend and stayed by her side, even when having nothing to do. Mion goes out of her way to befriend lonely people, hence why Rena, Keiichi and Hanyuu (three rare people that had moved to Hinamizawa rather than having lived there all their lives) were immediately dragged into the club. She also takes it upon herself (often using the excuse of being the leader) to help her friends and anyone in need, even if at her own expense. Even so, a major part of the Games Club she created seems to be to sate some kind of weird borderline fetishistic need to make boys and girls wear embarrassing, cute, or skimpy clothing.
Mion is a very physically, mentally, and emotionally strong girl possessing a lot of compassion and selflessness. She has a few big insecurities but possesses the potential to grow past them and accept all aspects of herself. She can also be overbearing, embarrassing, clumsy, and weird, but all with good intentions, most of which are to make her friends happy.
Abilities: Despite seeming like an ordinary girl, Mion actually has several impressive skills:
- Fighting: She is a master of martial arts, being able to take down a seasoned military bodyguard twice her age one-on-one with ease.
- Swordsmanship: She is extremely skilled with a katana; in the volume Yagoishi-hen is it shown Mion is extremely fast and strong, being able to take down (without killing) a dozen armed men in the matter of seconds.
- Oni blood: Although it is at first heavily suggested to be a myth, the existence of Hanyuu, flashbacks to Hanyuu's past life, and the fact Mion's ghost possesses Shion in the future, it is likely the Hinamizawa legend of the Sonozakis being descended from Oni breeding with humans is likely true.
