Mion Sonozaki is one of the main characters of the story within the Higurashi series! She is amongst the eldest of the main characters, though no specific age has been explicitly stated, she's generally considered to be around 14-17 years old given the classes she takes part in at school.
She takes the classic tomboy role as far as cherecter archetypes go, but she does have a softer side! I love the moments where we get to see the depth of her character, and not just the face she puts on. Being one of the eldest fo the main cast also lends her to acting more mature than the rest, and she's often seen scolding her friends when necessary. I appreciate how strong of a character she is!
Mion loves teasing her friends, and she easily suits the role of leader with them! She takes charge and enjoys playing games and messing around with her friends more than anything! One of her strongest skills is cheating in games, which she highly encourages in the daily game club she runs with her friends. Given her energetic and confident personality, she's often the winner of the games she plays with her friends, and she's usually the one in charge of the punishment games made for the losers!
Throughout the story, we get glimpses of the inner turmoil Mion is perpetually experiencing. Particularly with how she is percieved by others, and the misalignment she feels internally regarding herself. Due to appearing outwardly boyish, she struggles with themes of femininity a lot, though still harbours a strong desire to become more feminine.
I think she's perfect as she is!
Gosh... There are so many reasons why, but here are a few!
