Hindrances
- Habit (Major): Every few hours Sonia must perform grounding rituals - cold water on wrists, box breathing, journaling - or the accumulated emotional weather inside her erupts as migraines and tremors.
- Phobia (Minor): Crowds. Too many overlapping emotional signals merge into a whiteout blizzard that blinds her empathic senses and triggers panic.
- Obligation (Minor): Her patient roster of traumatized capes and civilians; she cannot refuse someone in genuine psychic crisis, even at personal cost.

Backstory
Sonia's mutation surfaced at fourteen when her best friend's grief over a dead parent hit her like a nor'easter. She spent a decade learning to survive the constant emotional weather before channeling it into a psychology practice. Now she treats the capes no one else can reach - the ones whose trauma is too strange or too dangerous for conventional therapy. The cost is the permanent interior storm she carries, managed minute by minute through discipline she never lets slip.
Appearance
Lean woman in her early forties with silver-streaked dark hair pulled into a loose bun. Deep-set brown eyes carry permanent fatigue lines. Dresses in muted layers - soft cardigans, flat shoes - nothing that draws attention.
