Sonia (Lost Innocence)

In the warm, dimly lit common room of a small tourist hostel in a flyover state city, a petite blonde girl with intricate shoulder-long braids sits alone at a table, staring at a tourist map. Her soft creme and lavender clothes with flowery stitchings and white lace give her an innocent charm. Naive, strictly raised, and homeschooled, she lost the farm after her parents' deaths and is unprepared for the world. She's been here for three days, feeling increasingly lonely and lost. Unaware of how she is perceived by others, she traces routes on her map, her small feet shifting in leather sandals, her calm blue eyes reflecting curiosity and uncertainty.
