And so, it comes to this: a secondary character of no particular importance, who does not affect the games story in any meaningful way. Briefly scanning the waifu list, the last girl whos less important than Sonia is Tae Takemi, who clawed her way up based on the strength of being a doctor. And yet, despite or perhaps because Sonia is really, truly not important to her game (and dont say shes the heart of the group or whatever), shes still the best waifu in the series and on this list. Its not even by a small amount, too. Shes almost three full points above the #2 girl.

Before I go on, I just want to say something that I love about Danganronpa and anime in general. I love the concept of a school for the most talented people on Earth, and then 47/48 of them are Japanese, and no one ever discusses it, because of course all the best people in the world are from Japan. Sonias the only exception, and I have to believe that its because they needed her to be a princess and didnt want to use a Japanese one. And dont bring up the black guy in the anime who dies in the first episode. Even I was shocked at how fast that guy bites it.

I was also going to make a joke about ranking video game Sonias, but to be honest, the only other one I can think of is Sonya Blade, whom I know nothing about besides her series. Ive played like eight minutes of Mortal Kombat in my entire life.

Normally, princesses fall into two categories. The first is princesses who are very regal and dont seem like normal people. The second is princesses who are rebellious and seem like normal people, but not that much like princesses. And note that a princess can be rebellious but still princess-y, like Garnet from FFIX. Part of Sonias extremely powerful waifu game is that she somehow merges both types without being rebellious at all: shes a princess and that informs everything about her, but there isnt that divide between her and a normal person (i.e. boring people like you and me). She has all the strengths of royal waifus, and all the strengths of normal people, and none of the weaknesses of either. Id say that makes her the perfect multiclass, but really, all of this is appropriate for someone explicitly titled as the Ultimate Princess.

I guess this goes without saying, but Sonia is, of course, physically exactly my type: tallish, blonde, a huge weeaboo, and hates plums. Shes nowhere near the hottest Danganronpa girl, and she doesnt even make it into the top 10 girls by attractiveness on this list, but she still really brings it. Ill say this, though: Sonia wears three outfits in the course of the series besides her swimsuit, and her normal clothes are by far the best. Im not even sure why, because they arent, like, particularly attractive. If anything, Id say that Sonias default outfit is kind of unattractive? Might be the color. And Im not sure whether this appropriately goes in Attractiveness or Personality, but Sonia has an extremely powerful expression game. Every face she makes is pure gold, every way she holds her hands is perfect. Sonia has perfectly mastered the cute, comedic, and vulnerable-but-not-helpless style of presenting herself.

Also, I like her hairbow with the shiny flecks in it. Sue me.

Also also, this didnt affect her rating, but in the time since I started this list, Danganronpa announced a new spinoff title where everyone just goes to the beach, and showed the sprites for all of the characters in swimsuits, and boy oh boy, Sonia has crazy wide hips. Am I insane for thinking that her hips are unusually wide in this image?
