Sonia Alves

Sonia, a character in The Heist: Monaco book, is Ansel's Chief Security Officer, and eventually one of your love interests. She is first seen in Chapter 3.

Appearance
Sonia has long black wavy hair, brown eyes and tan skin complexion. She wears a violet blazer over a black top with transparent part and a silver necklace.

Personality
As a security officer and former police officer, Sonia takes her job very seriously. She believes in principles and says the work she does is important. In Chapter 5's premium scene, it is revealed that a thief she was after stole from her already financially unstable sister, which ended with her losing her home. This caused her to develop a black and white morality on thieves and believed that all of them were selfish criminals. In Chapter 5, after escaping an island with your character, she starts to question whether your crew is as bad as she originally thought. You tell her later that she is smart, driven, and she sticks to her convictions.

Ansel Crane
Sonia is his Chief Security Officer. She joined him because she believed in him and what he stood for. In Chapter 9, she begins to doubt him after he makes several inappropriate advances on her and tries to justify Carlisle's corrupt business practices. If Lena is your muscle in Chapter 11, you slip the business card of Ansel's rival in her pocket, causing him to accuse her of betraying him. When he is giving his speech later, she is shown giving him an angry glare, signifying that their relationship has hit a new low. In Chapter 15, if you have gained enough trust with her and ask if Ansel has showed his true colors, she will confirm that he is not the person she thought he was and that she agrees that he has to be taken down. The two of you can make a plan to 'accidentally' lock him in the vault.

Your Character
You can flirt with her and gain her trust. If you have gained enough trust, in Chapter 15 she will help your crew escape by distracting Ansel, making her an accomplice in your heist. You can also hook up with her. In Chapter 16, if you have won her over, she shows up in Las Vegas and slips you her room keycard. You have the option to spend more time with her. If you did not win her trust, in Chapter 16, she asks to join Alana Kusuma's team in tracking you down and bringing you to justice.
