Phoebe is a good example, why isn't it Feebee? When i was still learning english in my early teens, I remember trying to pronounce that name as Fuebé. Thanks to the tv show Charmed for correcting me on that, saved me a few embarrassments when i was working in call centers.
And yet for me with a french language background, the I or Y rolls off the tongue much more easily (They are phonetically the same, with different grammatical uses), while for me, the J seems really, REALLY off, it forces me to pronounce the letter in a different language. It'd be like trying to say Son-ga if i didn't. Eh... *shrugs*
I don't know, Sonya, but do remember that different languages use different phonetics. ^_^ And yet, the creator of the Conan the Barbarian, and then the spin-off character Red Sonja, is an american man born and raised in texas... So i'm not sure about other cultures having to do with it (Unless it has closeby mexican influence, which the wiki on the author doesn't mention?). Really like to find out the etymological origin of that appelation.
Expect him to stand back with Sonja I never understood why people write that with a J, when it's clearly being pronounced as an I. Son-Jah just sounds so really weird. I'd like to do that for as many of the rest of you as possible. As for making connections, Sonia is rather diverse in her time spending, she works full time at The Way North, being a landscape artist and cartographer, works part time at Savah's armory only to get paid in arrows that she spends when in trips in the wild deeps to find new landmarks to paint and archive, She also spends a great deal of time in early mornings and evenings at the Cathedral alongside Koya's company as both a student and a good friend. Despite her birth family, she's kind of the black sheep of the family, and rarely associates herself with them because of conflicting ideals. They wanted a prim and proper Belle type of a daughter, and she wasn't gonna have it.
Alrightey, if we're making a brief character resume of what we are going to play, following yuki, here's Sonia! Sonia's Party Role / Abilities: Decided to make a paladin, but take it in an interesting direction. With the Divine Archer archetype, she will not be the standard tank and spank type of paladin, but be mostly there to support from the back with heavy archery. Eventully, she will progress to be able to do lay on hands at range to be able to reach people in need much more easily, and will have auras that help others gain free feats when using ranged abilities, wich might benefit Yuki eventually with the using of a bow or crossbow. For skills, she isn't exactly a skill monkey (Paladin is super heavy on MAD, urrg), but she is intended to be the group face, skilling diplomacy, having a racial trait to allow her to learn languages twice as fast, and a starter trait to reroll diplomacy to make a good first impression. While right now focusing on archery feats, will eventually head towards mounted feats to perform horseback archery, so will need to invest in Ride eventually. The unique thing about her, is she is a devout worhsipper of Desna... and her very first paladin. Me and rick have worked together and agreed upon a customized paladin code for this instance. Sonia will basicly be a glorified travel agent, desiring to travel the world, paint it, capture it in art, and display it for all to see to inspire the world and new cultures to travel and explore themselves. Which is why learning new languages and cultures quickly is going to be key. While Desna is chaotic in nature, as a paladin, she is lawful in alignment as a form of sacrifice for others, to conform and respect other cultures, to better learn and share about them.
