"Sova" means 'owl' in Serbocroatian, Czech, Slovene, and Slovak, matching Sova's lusus and frequent bird motifs. The full name Sovara may come from the Greek word ''σοβαρά'' (sovará), meaning 'seriously'. "Amalie" resembles ''Amélie'', a French given name meaning 'work,' and may also be a reference to the film and musical ''Amélie'', a story about a young girl who decides to change the lives of those around her for the better while struggling with her own isolation.

=== Six Sweeps ===
===Early life===
Not much is currently known about who Sova was or what Sova looked like at six sweeps. According to her introduction, she spent most of her life after schooling "caged," in a manner she doesn't like to talk about.
According to her introduction, she spent most of her life after school "caged" in a manner she doesn't like to talk about. She later escaped her captivity, and with the help of [[Laivan Ferroo]] and [[Serpaz Helilo]], made herself a new home in a secluded cabin out in the woods.
[[File:00657.gif|thumb|Sova in Dexous's captivity.]]


=== Pre-game ===
===Act 1===
[[File:Sova_worrying.gif|thumb|Sova worrying about Albion.]] Before her introduction, Sova Skorpe messages [[Albion Shukra|Albion]] with concern during her fateful revelation from her Star Guardian.
Sova sends concerned messages to [[Albion Shukra|her matesprit]] over the course of the entry night, which Albion reads after her fateful revelation from the Star Guardian but does not reply to.


Later, she responds to [[Ellsee Raines|Ellsee]]'s memo, offering to help her with deciphering the information from Ellsee's old book and finding its sister document amongst her scrolls. In this memo, she also catches up with [[Laivan Ferroo|Laivan]] and [[Serpaz Helilo|Serpaz]] who promise to protect her during the game ahead.
===Act 2===
Sova first speaks in Act 2 when she responds to [[Ellsee Raines|Ellsee]]'s memo, {{VE Quote|ellsee|Rinkadink Thinking TimΣ}}, offering to help decipher the information contained in her ancestral tome. In this same memo, she also catches up with Laivan and Serpaz.


Later, she replies to Albion's messages as she starts to apologize to her for not responding sooner and doesn't want to be the Star Children anymore. As Albion tells her the other reason for not responding earlier, Sova quickly tells her that cannot bring herself to be mad at Albion, as she was the one who taught her so many things to get as who she was currently. She then tells her that she loves her and that's all what it matters as Albion agrees with her.
Later, Albion messages her to apologize for not responding to her earlier messages. As she shares her worries, Sova reassures Albion that she can't bring herself to be mad at her. Sova then tells Albion that she loves her, and that {{VE Quote|sova|that is all that matters}}. Albion agrees with her.


After her introduction, she received a message from Serpaz as she tells her that the two of them will be spending time together. As they were chatting, Serpaz mentions the word "angel", which quickly changes Sova's mood and had flashbacks to her previous "caretaker", Dexous, who called her with the same nickname. Serpaz tells her to let her past memories go, as she isn't in the arms of her "caretaker" now.
After {{VE|641|2=&#91;S&#93; Engage.}} we are shown Sova's formal introduction page. She receives a message from an enthusiastic Serpaz, who's happy that the two of them will be spending time together because of the Game. As they chat, Serpaz calls Sova {{VE Quote|serpaz|a total angel!!!}}, a term which triggers Sova's memories of [[Dexous]], her former "caretaker". Serpaz urges her to let the past go, but fails to properly assuage Sova's distress.


Sova proceeds to read the latest translated scroll: Four trolls gathered on a bonfire as The Jagerman eats his meal, The Vivifier hands The Annalist a drink as she drinks it happily and The Forgiven staring up the sky. The story continues as The Annalist asks The Vivifier for an another tale, which she complies. The Vivifier tells a story about a king who sees an old lady tending to the same persimmon tree.
In need of a distraction, Sova decides to read the latest scroll Albion has translated for her: a recounting penned by [[The Annalist|the Annalist]] of a parable told to her by [[Zekura Raines|The Vivifier]]. Before Sova can finish her reading, however, she is interrupted by a loud rumble coming from outside her hive. Thinking it might be her lusus, Cooperi, she decides to investigate, but is met with a dark, wispy creature standing by her window instead.


The king then inquires about the strange activity and the old woman hands him the fruit as he took a bite, delighted by the taste of the fruit. The old lady then tells him that the tree belongs to her lover and would smile every time she ate the fruit. The king was moved by the action and decides to protect it at all costs.
She goes inside her sanitization block to hide, checking Ellsee's second memo and asking the others about the strange monsters lurking outside, though she is interrupted by a message from [[Occeus Coliad]] before she can get very far. They have a brief chat and he advises her to "clear her sight" and ignore the creatures, as they {{VE Quote|occeus|thrive .o.n y.o.ur attenti.o.n}}.


As the story ends, the Vivifier tells The Annalist that "all persimmons on our world today come from those seeds" as The Unknown looks at The Vivifier with love and affection.
She is contacted by [[Edolon Vryche]] shortly after he restrains Serpaz in order to expedite her entry process, though not much of their conversation is shown. Later, Sova is seen talking to an anxious [[Jentha Briati]] as Cooperi fends off the Abyss creatures, while they try to work through her entry process.


The Annalist concludes that she is being loved by those who are close to her and she and her friends continued eating and had sustained a feast of friendship. Before Sova can continue reading, she hears a loud rumble and decides to investigate. Thinking it's her lusus, Cooperi, returning home, she opens the curtain and sees a dark, tall creature staring at her as she screams.
Sova successfully enters [[the Medium]] during {{VE|1000|2=&#91;S&#93; Ellsee: Enter.}} Her talk with her denizen is not shown.  


Sova is included in Arcjec's memo but doesn't respond to it.
===Act 3 Act 1===
The act opens with a dream sequence, as Sova navigates a nightmarish space that leads toward a huge steel birdcage. She is jolted awake by a series of [[Gaiaeon|ominous whispers]], having gone back to her hive after speaking to her [[Jegudial|denizen]]. Sova then travels back to the Medium, where her planet, the [[Land of Daze and Lattice]], is revealed.  


She is later seen hiding in her Sanitization Block from the creatures as she reads Ellsee's memo. As she reads Ellsee and Jentha's conversation as on how to win the Game, Sova decides to inquire about the creatures that has been lurking outside of her hive and suddenly receives a message from Occeus trying to confide things to her but quickly tells him that she's busy hiding from the creatures. He then tells her in order not to be seen by the creature, she must simply ignore it as they only seek for her attention.
[[Metatron]] is there to greet her, and they discuss the game, Sova's potential journey through it, and Jegudial, her denizen. After some prompting from Metatron, Sova agrees to show him some of her writing, an in-progress script of a play called ''[[Upon the Twelfth Hour]]''. As she wraps up the reading, a Skorpe notification pops up, letting her know that [[Arcjec Voorat|Arcjec]] created a new memo. She catches up with the other players, as they discuss the events of the past day and their progress through the Game so far.


She messages Jentha as Cooperi keeps attacking the creatures, with Jentha telling her that she wasn't the one who planned the entire situation and keeps whacking the creatures with a pillar using the Game's cursor.
With a new appearance, Sova can be seen having a conversation with one of her [[Consorts#Rabbits|rabbit consorts]]. Shortly after, she's greeted by Serpaz and Occeus with a tight hug from Serpaz.


Sova is included in another memo, this time it's made by Arcjec, but doesn't respond to it.
==Personality and Traits==
Compassionate and forgiving, Sova is an avid reader and history buff who always tries to see the best in people, being quite fond of musical theater and stage plays. She dabbles in playwriting herself, holding a deep passion for the craft but being too self-conscious to share her work with her friends.  


=== During the game ===
Due to a sheltered upbringing, she considers herself socially hindered, having not had extensive interactions with other trolls for most of her youth and often misusing common turns of phrase. Sova is also "a bit of an emotional pushover who puts other people before herself."<ref>{{citeSocial|tumblr|whosaid=@Deconreconstruction|url=http://deconreconstruction.tumblr.com/post/176074032714/you-should-give-us-a-little-insight-into-the-least|date=July 19 2018}}</ref>
Sova enters in "[S] Ellsee: Enter." Her talk with her denizen is not shown.  


She is later seen in a dream sequence that quickly turns into a nightmare. She wakes up in her respiteblock, having gone back to her hive after speaking to her [[Jegudial|denizen]]. She says goodbye to her lusus before entering her the medium once more, revealing her planet, the [[Land of Daze and Lattice]], where Metatron is there to greet her. They discuss the game and Sova's denizen. After some prompting from Metatron, Sova agrees to show him her writing.
It has been implied that Sova deals with PTSD due to her difficult past with Dexous.


== Personality and Traits ==
==Relationships==
Due to her confined upbringing, Sova is socially hindered, with little experience interacting with other trolls. She sees herself as having a great deal to learn and is compassionate and forgiving. She is also "a bit of an emotional pushover who puts other people before herself."<ref>http://vasterror.tumblr.com/post/176074032714/you-should-give-us-a-little-insight-into-the-least</ref> She has a habit of misusing common terms of phrase.


She is an avid reader and a history buff, and quite fond of musical theater, despite not being ready to sing again herself.
===Albion Shukra===
[[File:Sova_worrying.gif|thumb|Sova worrying about Albion.|220x220px]]
Sova is in a flushed relationship with [[Albion Shukra]], having shown deep worry and care about her well-being. Albion regularly translates the ancient scrolls that Sova inherited from her Ancestor, and is mentioned to have helped Sova with her adjustment period after she escaped from Dexous. Sova seems to regard Albion with an almost awe-struck admiration, which can lead to her brushing aside some of her matesprit's more negative traits.  


Sova deals with a difficult past and struggles to move past it. There are signs that she suffers from PSTD due to her past.
It has been confirmed that the two are not bonded, as they are still a relatively new relationship.<ref>{{CiteVE|pagenumber=652|quote=(and before you ask the second big question that i know is on your mind, no, we have not fully committed to our quadrant as of yet)|whosaid=sova}}</ref>


== Relationships ==
===Laivan Ferroo and Serpaz Helilo===
Sova is good friends with both [[Laivan Ferroo|Laivan]] and [[Serpaz Helilo|Serpaz]] and the couple seems to be somewhat protective of her. They were the ones who helped Sova obtain her current belongings and residence. There is a framed picture of the three of them together inside Sova's [[Sova's hive|hive]].


=== Albion Shukra ===
Between the two, Serpaz appears to be slightly closer to Sova, likely due to her outgoing and jovial personality compared to Laivan's more laidback and quiet nature. While well-meaning, Serpaz is pretty bad at advising Sova when she is dealing with her emotional hang-ups and trauma, due to the off-beat way she tends to deal with her own sadness and pain.
Sova is in a red relationship with [[Albion Shukra]], and both loves her and is very worried about her well-being. Albion regularly translates the ancient scrolls that Sova finds. Albion does not contact Sova on the night she is to merge with her Star Guardian, and Sova spends that evening "practically glued to [her] seat just reading and waiting." It has been confirmed that the two are unbonded, as they are still relatively new to being in a relationship.<ref>http://vasterror.tumblr.com/post/178306142549/is-there-a-specific-reason-that-non-bonded-couples</ref>


=== Laivan Ferroo and Serpaz Helilo ===
===Occeus Coliad===
Sova is good friends with [[Laivan Ferroo|Laivan]] and [[Serpaz Helilo|Serpaz]], but the three had been out of touch for an extended period, at least until recently. Laivan and Serpaz appear to be somewhat protective of Sova and are implied to have played a part in helping Sova obtain her current belongings and residence. There is a picture of the three of them together in Sova's [[Sova's hive|hive]].
Sova seems to be on good terms with [[Occeus Coliad|Occeus]], the pair treating each other with mutual consideration of their respective boundaries. He is shown messaging her in hopes that she can listen to his woes, but is understanding when Sova states that she can't handle offering advice at that moment in time.


Between Laivan and Serpaz, Serpaz appears to be slightly closer to Sova, likely due to her outgoing and jovial personality compared to Laivan's more laidback and quiet nature. However, while well-meaning, Serpaz is pretty bad at advising Sova when she is dealing with her emotional hang-ups and trauma, due to her own outlook of dealing with sadness and pain.
===Dexous===
[[File:00657.gif|alt=|thumb|220x220px|Sova in Dexous' captivity.]]
Sova has a difficult past with [[Dexous]]. It is implied that Dexous forced Sova to sing for him and an audience, eventually causing her to develop post-traumatic stress disorder. Reminders of Dexous, such as the word "angel", can trigger Sova, leading her to emotionally withdraw and experience flashbacks.  


=== Dexous ===
===Jentha Briati===

==Trivia==
Sova seems to be on good terms with [[Occeus Coliad|Occeus]] as he messaged Sova hoping he could vent to her, but when she said she couldn't handle it at the moment he understood and they spoke a little longer seemingly relating to each others negative feelings at the moment.

Sova Amalie (short for Sovara), also known by her Skorpe handle sanguineAllegory, is one of the main characters and Aspect Holders in Vast Error. Her associated alchemic sigil is Silver and she is a deconstruction of the "tragic victim" fantroll archetype.[1]

She was the eleventh troll introduced and the eighth troll to enter the game.

Etymology

"Sova" means "owl" in many Slavic languages, matching Sova's lusus and frequent bird motifs. The full name Sovara may come from the Greek word σοβαρά (sovará), meaning "seriously". "Amalie" resembles Amélie, a French given name meaning "work", and may also be a reference to the film and musical Amélie, a story about a young girl who decides to change the lives of those around her for the better while struggling with her own isolation.

Biography

Early life

According to her introduction, she spent most of her life after school "caged" in a manner she doesn't like to talk about. She later escaped her captivity, and with the help of Laivan Ferroo and Serpaz Helilo, made herself a new home in a secluded cabin out in the woods.

Act 1

Sova sends concerned messages to her matesprit over the course of the entry night, which Albion reads after her fateful revelation from the Star Guardian but does not reply to.

Act 2

Sova first speaks in Act 2 when she responds to Ellsee's memo, Rinkadink Thinking TimΣ, offering to help decipher the information contained in her ancestral tome. In this same memo, she also catches up with Laivan and Serpaz.

Later, Albion messages her to apologize for not responding to her earlier messages. As she shares her worries, Sova reassures Albion that she can't bring herself to be mad at her. Sova then tells Albion that she loves her, and that that is all that matters. Albion agrees with her.

After [S] Engage. DCRC icon.png we are shown Sova's formal introduction page. She receives a message from an enthusiastic Serpaz, who's happy that the two of them will be spending time together because of the Game. As they chat, Serpaz calls Sova a total angel!!!, a term which triggers Sova's memories of Dexous, her former "caretaker". Serpaz urges her to let the past go, but fails to properly assuage Sova's distress.

In need of a distraction, Sova decides to read the latest scroll Albion has translated for her: a recounting penned by the Annalist of a parable told to her by The Vivifier. Before Sova can finish her reading, however, she is interrupted by a loud rumble coming from outside her hive. Thinking it might be her lusus, Cooperi, she decides to investigate, but is met with a dark, wispy creature standing by her window instead.

She goes inside her sanitization block to hide, checking Ellsee's second memo and asking the others about the strange monsters lurking outside, though she is interrupted by a message from Occeus Coliad before she can get very far. They have a brief chat and he advises her to "clear her sight" and ignore the creatures, as they thrive .o.n y.o.ur attenti.o.n.

She is contacted by Edolon Vryche shortly after he restrains Serpaz in order to expedite her entry process, though not much of their conversation is shown. Later, Sova is seen talking to an anxious Jentha Briati as Cooperi fends off the Abyss creatures, while they try to work through her entry process.

Sova successfully enters the Medium during [S] Ellsee: Enter. DCRC icon.png Her talk with her denizen is not shown.

Act 3 Act 1

The act opens with a dream sequence, as Sova navigates a nightmarish space that leads toward a huge steel birdcage. She is jolted awake by a series of ominous whispers, having gone back to her hive after speaking to her denizen. Sova then travels back to the Medium, where her planet, the Land of Daze and Lattice, is revealed.

Metatron is there to greet her, and they discuss the game, Sova's potential journey through it, and Jegudial, her denizen. After some prompting from Metatron, Sova agrees to show him some of her writing, an in-progress script of a play called Upon the Twelfth Hour. As she wraps up the reading, a Skorpe notification pops up, letting her know that Arcjec created a new memo. She catches up with the other players, as they discuss the events of the past day and their progress through the Game so far.

With a new appearance, Sova can be seen having a conversation with one of her rabbit consorts. Shortly after, she's greeted by Serpaz and Occeus with a tight hug from Serpaz.

Personality and Traits

Compassionate and forgiving, Sova is an avid reader and history buff who always tries to see the best in people, being quite fond of musical theater and stage plays. She dabbles in playwriting herself, holding a deep passion for the craft but being too self-conscious to share her work with her friends.

Due to a sheltered upbringing, she considers herself socially hindered, having not had extensive interactions with other trolls for most of her youth and often misusing common turns of phrase. Sova is also "a bit of an emotional pushover who puts other people before herself."[2]

It has been implied that Sova deals with PTSD due to her difficult past with Dexous.

Sova is in a flushed relationship with Albion Shukra, having shown deep worry and care about her well-being. Albion regularly translates the ancient scrolls that Sova inherited from her Ancestor, and is mentioned to have helped Sova with her adjustment period after she escaped from Dexous. Sova seems to regard Albion with an almost awe-struck admiration, which can lead to her brushing aside some of her matesprit's more negative traits.

It has been confirmed that the two are not bonded, as they are still a relatively new relationship.[3]

Laivan Ferroo and Serpaz Helilo

Sova is good friends with both Laivan and Serpaz and the couple seems to be somewhat protective of her. They were the ones who helped Sova obtain her current belongings and residence. There is a framed picture of the three of them together inside Sova's hive.

While well-meaning, Serpaz is pretty bad at advising Sova when she is dealing with her emotional hang-ups and trauma, due to the off-beat way she tends to deal with her own sadness and pain.

Occeus Coliad

Sova has a difficult past with Dexous. It is implied that Dexous forced Sova to sing for him and an audience, eventually causing her to develop post-traumatic stress disorder.

Jentha is Sova's server player. Not much is known about their relationship, though they have cooperated during Sova's entry process. Sova has shown concern for Jentha even when being brushed off, and Jentha has snidely referred to Sova as the one who c cares so much about e everyone.
