Sonia (eng. Sonya) is a fictional character in a story by American writer Robert E. Howard "the Shadow Vulgari" (translation — "the shadow of the vulture"); Cossack a native of Rohatyn, fighting on the side of the Christians at the battle of Vienna.

Character creation
Critic don D'ammassa (eng. Don d'ammassa) noted that Howard, who was at the time of writing under the influence of the novel known for its historical and adventure novels Harold lamb, was interested in exotic localities and situations. Stories from the historical prose of Howard concentrated on the border between Europe and Asia, the collision of Christianity, paganism and Islam; also, Howard, as lamb was an admirer of the Cossacks, and "the Shadow Calgary" was not the only story on the theme of the Cossacks and Cossacks. So, in the loop about Conan, there are also Cossacks and the short story "the Renegade" tells the story of the Cossacks who climbed into the Turkey. Sonya herself is presented as a Cossack warrior, armed with swords and pistols.

Fictional biography
Sonia is a Cossack from Rohatyn, Roksolana sister. According to the novel, when Roxolana was kidnapped, the kidnappers left Sonya. She grew up and, apparently, having learned the military craft, began to participate in the wars against the Turks. The protagonist of the novel Gottfried von Kalmbach met her in Vienna, shortly before the siege of the city. In Vienna, Sonia was already well known for her military prowess and violent temper.

In battle, Sonya fights fiercely against the Turks shoulder to shoulder with Gottfried, both within the walls of the besieged Vienna and beyond, being a model of a real warrior, even among the fighting men.

Influence and criticism
Appearing as one of the main characters in a single novel, Sonya had a strong influence on both the genre of Sword and Magic[clarify] (though "Shadow of Valgara" and does not belong to the fantasy genre), and the image of the virgin warrior in the subsequent works of other authors. It has become one of the most enduring and popular characters, created by Howard. Like other strong female Howard characters, she dresses, drinks, and fights like a man. She is a heroine who is able to see what needs to be done and act when the men around her seem unable to do it. She equally owns pistols, swords and even guns.

For the character Red Sonya Sonya from Rogatin became a prototype together with other red-haired warrior — Agnes de Chastillon. Initially (in 1973) Red Sonja was involved Roy Thomas as hirkani, who lived during the Hyborian age. Girkania the Hyborian age Howard is located on the territory of Russia, so this was a convenient occasion to review the origin of Sony as hirkani, given that "the shadow of Calgary" she is of Slavic origin. From 1981 to 1983, novels were published-novelization of David Smith and Richard L. Tierney. Then in 1985 came the movie based on the comic by Roy Thomas, and in the movie there was a note that the characters (Sonia and Kalidor) based on characters of Robert E. Howard, respectively, on Sonya and Conan.

To avoid clashes over copyright protection, Thomas initially changed the heroine's name from Sonya to Sonja (that is, replacing one letter in the name). The character of Roy Thomas is an archetypal Amazon in an armored bikini, which has become both an object of imitation and an object of ridicule and parodies, like Red Monica.

Seriously the issue of copyright on the character arose in 2007, when the company Paradox, which owns the rights to the legacy of Howard sued to Red Sonja LLC for the use of the character from the books of Howard. The court ended with a settlement agreement under which Paradox recognized the rights of Red Sonja LLC to the trademark "Red Sonja" (via J). Roy Thomas himself admitted that he was delighted with Sonya from Robert Howard's Rogatin.

Jerel.
Some literary critics such as Leo grin, I think that for the type of character Jirel writer Catherine Moore took Agnes de Chastillon and Sonya, and the Sonya of Rohatyn, may have influenced the creation of Howard, the most Agnes de Chastillon, another redheaded female warrior

Comics
In 1976, comic book author Frank Thorne[en] as part of the cosplay Convention SonjaCon released the space crossover The Red Sonja Show, which brought together various variations of Red Sony, including Sony from Rogatino. In the story, the thorn pointed out that the Red Dormouse is a distant ancestor of the Sonya Cossacks.
