{{Hero infobox | datapage = Data:Sonya | image = [[File:SonyaArt.jpg|240px|alt=Sonya]] ''"My blades are yours."'' }} '''Sonya''', the Wandering Barbarian, is a melee [[bruiser|Bruiser Hero]] from the ''[[Diablo (franchise)|Diablo]]'' universe.<ref>[http://www.heroesofthestorm.com/en-us Heroes of the Storm], ''Blizzard Entertainment''. Accessed on 2013-12-01</ref><ref>2013-11-15, [http://www.blizzpro.com/blog/2013/11/15/character-list-of-heroes-of-the-storm/ Character List of Heroes of the Storm]. ''Blizzpro'', accessed on 2013-12-01</ref> From the frozen Dreadlands of the north come the mighty Barbarian warriors. After surviving the destruction of her home and death of her tribe, Sonya wanders Sanctuary in search of battle and a better life for her people. Sonya is a Bruiser who's great at capturing Mercenary camps and likes to dive into the enemy team. == History == {{Diablo-section}} Sonya represents the {{dw|Barbarian}} class in {{dw|Diablo III}}. Steeped in mystery and tradition, Barbarians refer to themselves as the "Children of {{dw|Bul-Kathos}}," the great and ancient king. To better protect their lands from outside forces, they adopted a nomadic lifestyle, frequently moving within the confines of the Steppes and maintaining few permanent settlements. Isolating themselves from the world outside their territories, they eschew the use of magics and complex machinery, as they believe these things can only weaken their resolve developed over so many years. The Children of Bul-Kathos have developed a kinship with the land and have learned to harness the primal energies within nature to enhance their own substantial physical prowess. It is because of this, together with their freedom from the trappings of the outside world, that the {{dw|Western Kingdoms}} have historically referred to these tribes as "Barbarians," an epithet that belies the rich cultural and spiritual history these people truly possess. Although some trade with these curious bands of nomads, they do so only along the outermost borders of their lands. All intrusions into the territory surrounding {{dw|Mount Arreat}} are forbidden, and warriors from the northern tribes are quick to thwart any incursions. Every foreign attempt at conquest has been met with fierce and decisive resistance. An account of one skirmish recounts how hordes of Barbarian tribesmen silently appeared where none had been but moments before. Their bodies painted in mysterious designs and their faces howling as they charged like the fierce mountain winds, the tribesmen descended on the invaders. Fully half of the trespassing army immediately dropped their weapons and fled, the remainder were set upon by the Northmen with fervor that none of the battle-hardened invaders had ever witnessed. No mercy was asked and none was given, but in the end, when the outlanders sounded a full retreat, no chase was given either... at least none that could be observed. Since news of [[Diablo]]'s re-emergence has spread, a small number of Barbarian warriors have begun roving the lands outside the Steppes, prepared for war and seeking information regarding the recent activities of the {{dw|Prime Evil|Prime Evils}}. Renowned for their awesome combat prowess as well as their arrogant demeanor, the Barbarians appear to be perpetually girt for battle. Through harsh conditioning, the Barbarians excel in physical combat and tremendous feats of strength. They derive their power chiefly through intense physical training, but they also tap primal energies from the living world around them. They can manifest these or add to their already considerable catalogue of superhuman feats of strength and power. == Abilities == :''See '''[[Data:Sonya|Data Page]]''' for a table of scaled values at key levels.'' {{Skills}} == Talents == {{talent table}} == Builds and guides == {{heroGuideList}} ==Skins== {{/Skins}} ==Portraits== {{/Portraits}} ==Sprays== {{/Sprays}} ==Emojis== {{/Emojis}} ==Quotes== {{main|{{PAGENAME}}/Quotes}} == Trivia == * Sonya represents the barbarian class from ''Diablo III'' (May 2012). * Sonya is voiced by Athena Karkanis. * Sonya was one of the 18 heroes revealed at [[BlizzCon]] 2013. * The idea to include a barbarian in the game was in place as early as 2011.<ref name = "ArtTech">2011-10-23, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3R6ZqVQ3WE&feature=related BlizzCon 2011 - StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm and Blizzard DOTA - Art & Technology Panel (Full)]. ''YouTube'', accessed on 2011-11-07</ref> * Sonya may have been named after [[wikipedia:Red_Sonja|Red Sonja]]. * Sonya doesn't trust sorcerers, and is not fond of magic at all. * The Super Sonya skin incorporates elements from the X-Men character Cable (such as the glowing eye and robotic virus) and from the X-Men character Shatterstar (such as the eye-mark and swords). * Several of Sonya's gag quotes reference the [[wikipedia:Conan_the_Barbarian_(1982_film)|1982 ''Conan the Barbarian'' movie]]. == Gallery == ===General=== <gallery> File:Sonya HotS Art.jpg|Sonya's artwork.
