Hair: The color of ruby-hued wine and falls to the middle of her back.

Eyes: Green like spring grass.

Body type: Slightly shorter than average height and voluptuously curvy.

Facial features: Oval face with angular cheekbones. Full, bow-shaped lips the color of berries. Strong brow. Some freckles across her nose to her eyes. Cute nose.

Personality: Timid but a fighter. Kind. Fierce. Stood up for her brother.

Background: Died by falling off a cliff while picking flowers for her sister’s wedding and getting scared by Kolis. Was brought back to life and kept as a prisoner. Died again, but had her soul marked so she’d constantly be reborn. Ends up sharing a soul with Seraphena and then being transferred to the Star diamond. Is finally reincarnated—I believe Poppy is Sotoria reborn but I have not received confirmation of that as yet.

Family: Brother = Callum. Sister = Anthea †.

SOTORIA’S JOURNEY TO DATE:

Poor Sotoria has had a rough journey. First, Kolis sees her and instantly becomes infatuated. When he reveals himself to her, it scares her enough that she falls from the Cliffs of Sorrow while picking flowers for Anthea’s wedding.

She enters the Vale and is fine, until Kolis rips her from there and brings her back to life. But she doesn’t come back the same. She’s morose and resentful. Not to mention she’s kept in a cage.

She eventually dies again—exact cause unknown, though there’s a rumor that Eythos killed her—and Eythos and Keella take measures to ensure she can’t be ripped out of the Vale again. They mark her soul, making it so she’ll be reborn over and over.

Eythos takes additional measures by placing her soul in Seraphena. But she’s not reborn as Sera, they share Sera’s body.

Inside Sera, she becomes enraged at the sight of Kolis in Dalos and the price he forces Sera to pay—the young draken’s death. Her fury fills Sera.

When Sera is captured and brought back to Dalos, Sotoria’s anger and panic fill Sera—it’s a reminder of what she endured.

As Sera is held in Dalos, Sotoria emerges several times, letting Sera feel her pain and fear and panic. She also lets loose her anger and fury at times when the embers rise within Sera.

Once Sera escapes, Sotoria feels herself being removed from Sera and questions the Primal, Keella, if she will be okay. Once she’s reassured, she lets go, letting herself be transferred into the Star diamond.

But on her way out, she tells Sera they’ll meet again.

CALLUM’S JOURNEY TO DATE:

If I had to pick someone who both intrigues and terrifies me, it would be Callum. He’s incredibly enigmatic, but as someone even older than I, who has been in league with some of the vilest of the vile, he admittedly scares me.

Callum first entered my radar when I saw him in the visions I had when Sera was attacked by the guards. I, like Ezra, thought he was a god at first. He immediately rubbed me the wrong way, taking obvious pleasure in Sera having killed the guards and then lying about it.

He later appears in Dalos when Kolis meets with Sera, peeking through the curtain and telling the draken Davon that they have something to take care of.

After that, I suspect that I caught a glimpse of him lurking in the shadows during Kyn’s ordered Cimmerian attack at the House of Haides, but I don’t have anything to confirm that definitively.

Callum is there when Sera wakes after being abducted by Attes, revealing that she’s been unconscious for two days, and that Attes wasn’t supposed to hit her so hard. He then tells her that it’s no longer a secret that she’s a mortal with embers of life in her, then greets her by her full name and asks if she remembers him.

Callum insults Sera, telling her she stinks of the Shadowlands and the Primal there, then warns her not to disrespect Kolis. As talk turns to her life in the mortal realm, Callum says that he got the impression the Queen wasn’t much of a mother to Sera and then tells Sera he’d had regular contact with Calliphe for years and was the one who told her how to kill a Primal—make them fall in love and then end them.
