Name: Sofia Rostislavivna Ilyich
Nickname(s): Sonya, Cherry
Area Being Personified: Chernobyl, Ukraine
Timeline (DOB - DOD): 1193 - present day
Ethnicity: Ukrainian
Religion: Was forcibly converted from Orthodox, to Greek Catholic, then back to Orthodox. Eventually chose Judaism, as she had a large Jewish population (7,200 out of 10,800), and ended up being a major center of Hasidic Judaism. But during the Nazi invasion, the Jewish population was murdered, and she is since unsure what she believes.
Government: Technically at the mercy of Ukraine, but as the city is all but abandoned (and not even closed off to tourists anymore), there is little need for any form of 'government' whatsoever.
Likes: medicine, math and science, pumpkins, cherries, heights, her boots, cleanliness
Dislikes: radiation & misconceptions about it, Russians, communism, the thought of being trapped in a room, being around too many people, being completely alone
Notable Foreign Relationships: Absolutely, without question, despises Russia and everything Soviet. Has close historical ties to Poland and Lithuania.
