Sofyia Fennec

Sofyia Fennec was the wife of Wan Fennec who worried for her troubled son. She was the mother of Kon Fennec.

Background
Sofyia Fennec grew up in a small town in Qhat and was raised by both her parents.

At the age of 13, her parents made the decision to marry her into an honorable family. Disgusted and worried, Sofyia fled and was never seen again by her parents.

Months passed, and Sofyia met two family workers known as the Fennec family who lived in Stalingrin. Although they used to be highborn, they had lost all their money years prior. It also turned out this they had a son, Wan Fennec, and soon started to develop relations with him.

Wan’s parents taught Sofyia and raised her as a daughter. When Sofyia turned 18, she married to Wan, but waited to have a child as she was scared of the idea.

At 22, Sofyia gave birth to her first and only son, Kon Fennec.

Sofyia has not stopped loving Wan, even though he isn’t highborn like her. She believed in love and not arranged marriages.

A Murder of Crows
At first, Sofyia finds that her son, Kon Fennec, is troubled after witnessing an execution in Stalingrin, therefore, she makes the decision to confront Wan and tell him about their sons potential thoughts. Although Wan states he will get over it, Sofyia worries Kon might be leading down a dark path.

Sofyia later talks to her son, as she thinks he is troubled. Kon then shrugs and states he didn’t mind the execution. She is shocked to hear this, and thinks Kon might be leading himself down a dark road in the future.

Later, Sofyia finds out about Wan’s secret, as he tells her she is not safe, and spills the fact that he is being blackmailed. Sofyia then convinces Wan to send her and their son away and as fast as possible.

When Wan finds out of Victna‘s death, he notes Nellie is heading back to her father in Moonstone. He later convinces Nellie to send Sofyia and Kon to Moonstone as well.

Before departing to Moonstone, Sofyia says her goodbyes to her husband and tells him to stay safe. She promises to keep Kon safe. Sofyia leaves Wan with a kiss on the cheek and a brief hug. Nellie, Sofyia, Quill Adanies, and Kon then board a horse carriage and watch Wan in a distance. Shortly after taking off, Kon jumps down to give his father a huge hug. Sofyia watches and feels a calm gust blowing her way, as she knows Kon might grow up to be just like her husband one day.

One day, at night, the carriage stops on the side of the road to rest. Sofyia wake from a nightmare, and Nellie notices her. Sofyia explains she had a nightmare, and Nellie assures her if she has nightmares, it means she‘s strong (this is a hint to Nellie’s nightmares about her killing her own brother, Victna). Sofyia the proceeds to ask Nellie if she has nightmares, but she remains silent for only a few moments, but then states she has multiple dreams of death. Sofyia explains she does too, but Nellie assures Sofyia it’s nothing like she would think.

When arriving at Moonstone’s gates, two guards approach the carriage for inspection. Sofyia worries as she dislikes the Wanda family, especially Nellie’s father. The guards then let the carriage proceed and then stops at Tarriss’ tower. Sofyia and the others are then greeted by a soldier, and he instantly recognizes Nellie and lets them inside.

When arriving inside, Tarriss notices Sofyia and kisses the palm of her hand, and later goes to insult her of her choice to marry a poor boy when she should have been honorable. Sofyia, not insulting the man, tells him it was her own choice to marry Wan.

Dreams of Death
In Wan’s Dream, Sofyia appears for a few pages. Wan proceeds to cry and ask her why she died, but Sofyia states it was her future and had nothing to do with him. Wan then explains to her he has given up hope for their son, but Sofyia reassures him Kon is a strong child and he is still alive (although this was a dream/hallucination, Wan’s vision of Sofyia was not wrong about Kon’s living status at that moment).
