A note for CR AU applications
Ruby City does allow previous game history/CR to be brought over on a case by case basis. If you want to include this in your application please add additional sections for PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT and PREVIOUS GAME HISTORY beneath the Personality and Background/History sections.

In these additional sections we would like to see a brief outline of your character's previous game history and how it potentially impacted on and altered their canon personality.

Sona Buvelle | League of Legends | No Reserve | Part 1

[etwahls]

PLAYER
Name: Quinn
Personal Journal: teufel 
E-mail: kleopatra.antony@gmail.com
SKYPE: majestic.magikarp 

CHARACTER
Name: Sona Buvelle
Canon: League of Legends
Timeline: Post the 31st Journal of Justice / Right after Swain is promoted to Grand General
 

Personality:

Beautiful and graceful, Sona Buvelle is a force to be reckoned with despite what first impressions may imply. Being mute and an orphan, the first few years of her life were hardly the easiest. Despite the conditions that she grew up in, Sona was and always will be quiet and mannered.

Although she can communicate telepathically with her Summoners, the musician is unable to speak to other Champions and normal people. For example, when her League Judgment took place and an illusion of her adoptive mother portrayed the woman dying, she attempted to scream even though she knows that she is mute.

Despite her handicap, the young musician is portrayed as a force to be reckoned with. She took it upon herself to master the etwahl. (The etwahl is a magical instrument that she uses to channel magic!) Over time she became more and more powerful of her own accord, eventual to the point where she became a Champion. In the world of Runeterra, Champions are considered the cream of the crop as far as warriors go--human and non-human alike.

Although during the Judgement she did cry due to her adoptive mother's death, once the League opened its doors to her she left without a second glance. Although she may break down when she feels great sorrow, Sona can be very quick to pick herself right back up.

Sona is more than capable of killing, she mainly uses her magic for healing. She enjoys helping others, especially when it comes to aiding allies on the battlefield. However, despite her manners and outward kindness, Sona is also known to possess a bit of a mischievous side. At one point she joins a band called Pentakill, which consisted of her and a few of her undead friends. Even though she appears to be sweet and innocent, Sona has a taste for the occult and certainly doesn't mind getting a bit of blood on her hands. 


Despite her grace and willingness to help others, the Maven is certainly a lonely woman. Isolation is something the Maven is very familiar with. Music is a catharsis for Sona and without it she very well knows that, as a person, she would mean nothing to the world. Although she can play any tune to perfection, there is still one thing that Sona desperately wants: friendship.

First Person: 

[It takes Sona over an hour to figure out how the handheld device works. She takes the time to shift through each function and decides that text would, for her, be the most logical. There's not much a mute can do with the audio function and she certainly doesn't feel that showing herself in such a vulnerable state would be wise. (That and she doubts anyone here would even know what an etwhal is.)  Through text she appears uncertain, but not afraid. No, she wants to hang on to the blank state of calm she now feels after the initial shock of the train not winding up in Demacia. ]

Brioso, brioso. Summoner, why would you call upon me here? And why do you not speak to me? A symphony cannot come of such dissonance. 

My name is Sona Buvelle, a Maven hailing from Runeterra. Perhaps other Champions are here, though I have my doubts...

Third Person: 

Were they out of the strawberry jam she liked? The Maven searched up and down the isle, but it seemed that the supermarket was out of the brand she liked or they hadn't stocked the shelves yet. A little girl brushed past her as Sona bit her lip pensively. There wasn't much she could do about the shelves not yielding what she wished for. Attempting to communicate with the cashiers was always a pain in the ass, especially since she had forgotten her scroll with common things she said at home.

She didn't want to be a nuisance, especially since she wasn't exactly able to ask for a pen and piece of paper either. After another moment's worth of hesitation Sona bent over and plucked an off-brand jam from the shelf. It wasn't going to taste the same, but she had a concert scheduled for later in the evening and she wanted to practice beforehand.

"Excuse me." A bright, cheery voice made her shoulders stiffen as she turned to face its source. "Did you find everything okay?" A girl with platinum blonde hair and the market's hideous green vest smiled widely. 

Sona nodded. A lopsided smile was all she could manage.

"Well, if you need help with anything else, feel free to ask!" The employee grabbed a can of peanut butter before hurrying off--presumably to a customer that had asked for help.

As Sona walked down the isle her grip around the jam jar tightened. Ask for help?

'It's never that simple. Is it, Summoner?' 

Of course, no one was able to hear her. Outside of the Fields of Justice she had no voice--none at all.
