Sonya is a student at a prestigious Moscow secondary school. School is difficult, but Sonya finds time for her hobbies, such as playing bass guitar and drawing. Sonya started drawing in kindergarten and over the years she devoted more time to it and it has brought her more enjoyment. Now she is considering attending art school.

Sonya’s room is creatively decorated. Above the bed and on the wall hang souvenirs from the East, an homage to her love of Japanese anime. Sonya is very sociable and always glad to have guests. Sonya does her schoolwork, plays music, draws (mostly at night when no one bothers her), and sleeps in her room.
