SONIYA CROSS
Soniya Cross is the daughter of Lord Wendel Cross, an elite family of fighters who live in the North. She is the youngest of his children and therefore the most rebellious.
​
She is currently unmarried or unmatched not only due to her rebellious attitude but the fact she hasn't discovered love yet, she may love her weapons but she has not found amorous love. At the start of ACFaK she is 25.
​
Ameer Akhtar says this about Soniya-"I love Soniya a lot, she's a dynamic character, there's absolutely nothing to hate about Soniya she deserves the world. She's based of Piper Mclean and Lara Croft so there's nothing better than that. I think regardless if you're male or female you like Soniya a lot, perhaps one of my favourites"

A WORD ON THE FANART
This is truly perfect, exactly what Soniya looks like. The hair, the eyes and the face shape are spot on. Only problems I have is her hair colour is darker but it is an interpretation so in my eyes this is the second most accurate piece of fanart.
RECENT EVENTS
A CROWN FOR A KING
A female medic enters Ser Jon Darklyn's cell to treat his wounds where he pounces and attacks her believing her to be a man, Jon had planned to replace the male medic as himself in the cell but since this was a woman the guards would know. The medic treats his wounds which Jon finds strange since none of Nestor's people had ever done. The Medic reveals herself to be Soniya Cross and she help Jon escape Nestor's camp.
On the run from Nestor's army they hold back and let Nestor pass, the two go to the nearby castle of RedWater Keep to find it sacked and overrun with outlaws. Soniya who ventured alone into the castle is captured by outlaws while a malnourished Jon fights to get her back. Doing the fighting Jon eliminates them all except for the Red Baron who he battles against. In his current state Jon fights neck and neck with the Baron when perhaps before he could've easily beaten him, the Baron overpowers Jon who is about to kill him until Soniya stabs the Baron saving ironically saving Jon. At a nearby inn Soniya learns her homecastle has been taken by Bronzemen.
​
In the feast after the Battle of King's Landing Soniya reunites Jon with the Kingsguard and Aeyron. Before the Battle of Bloodwater Soniya, Jon, Lewyn and Domeric engage in friendly battle. During the Battle of Bloodwater she fights to the left of the bridge with her brother Harrion Cross; Jon Darklyn abandons his duties as Kingsguard by rushing over to aid Soniya and Harrion.
A MATE FOR DARKNESS:SUN AND SNOW
Jon Darklyn followed the Northerners up north to help their campaign to rid their lands of sellswords and Bronzemen. Jon has stayed in The North for the time being however. Before he left King's Landing, he gifted Soniya a new set of armour and two new Celtigan Steel swords.
​
Lord Forrester decides that Lord Bolton should lead the search for Gerold, with Jon and Soniya accompanying him. Soniya and Jon talk, and she's certain that he wants to go home and she's passive aggressive against him. Soniya is critical of Bolton's plan to find Gerold, she thinks they're just aimlessly looking around. Jon also expressed disbelief in Lord Bolton's plan so Bolton decides to change his plan for one day, and if they don't find Gerold they can't complain. They go to the mountain clans to see if they know anything but they don't, Jon is confused by them continually referring to Bolton as zichski; which he later finds out means vampire.
​
Bolton leaves Jon and Soniya, searching some other place for them. Meanwhile Soniya and Jon have been harassed by what they think are Bronzemen, they keep on going until they are chased by men on horses. Jon is pushed off a cliff but he holds on, Soniya comes to help him but Lord Bolton appears behind them. He tells Jon that he needs Gerold dead, he burnt WinterFort and Jon kept on pushing. Bolton lets them fall off the cliff but isn't sure they're dead, Bolton's son believes they are dead, Bolton threatens to skin them if they're alive.
