a real hero

As a lieutenant of the Temple Knights, Sorka was one of the medics who provided support during the Alliance's operation to take back Ala Mhigo. After victory was taken the viera transferred to the Ala Mhigan army, where she is now registered as a reserve unit.

sooner than later, i'll need a saviour

Sorka is not shy about her methods of healing — the nouliths that she carries mark her as a sage, one who has learnt the art of somanoutics. The viera is able to manipulate aether without such tools, but having learnt white magic through the use of a staff means that she excels at it when given foci to channe it with.

it might be your wound but they're my sutures

With a keen interest in "traditional" healing as well as aetherical, Sorka is both a bookworm and a botanist — she specialises in potioncraft research, utilising different plants and flowers to replicate the effects of certain magicks.

i know that you're in town, oh won't you come around

Living in The Lavender Beds means that Sorka is more often than not found in the climes of Gridania, frequently seen passing through New Gridania to visit both the Botanist's and Conjurer's Guilds.

a little gamblin' is fun when you're with me

During her military service, Sorka's comrades roped her into several games of mahjong in evening downtimes. Her determination to win eventually made her something of a local legend; the viera's thirteen-strong victory streak was never bested. Whilst Sorka fell out of practise after Ala Mhigo, the shuffle of tiles can still bring a smile to her face.

all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me

Sorka is intimately familiar with death — even the best medics can't save everybody. The resistance effort left her with PTSD, and she frequently wakes up screaming in the middle of the night due to the bad dreams it gives her.
