Despite her father's hatred for the Lycan race, she has fallen in love with the Lycan slave, Lucian. She battles between the desire to fulfil the responsibilities that come with her lineage and her willful nature. Because of her love for Lucian, she is sympathetic to the enslaved Lycans' plight.
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans
Rhona Mitra as Sonja: Underworld 3 Cast: Michael Sheen, Bill Nighy, Rhona Mitra, Kevin Grevioux
The film tells the story of origin of Lucian, who was the first Lycan able to take human form. Viktor the king of the vampires, took him home after his lycan mother's death. As Lucian grows up at Viktor's home, his young daughter, Sonja, develops an attraction to the young Lycan, and Lucian becomes fond of Sonja as well.
Wild Lycans attack Sonja, disguised as a Death Dealer, when she is riding in the field. Lucian kills two Lycans just about to leap on the Dealer and kills one just as it enters the coven's walls.
Lucian asks Sonja if she would leave with him and she protests his leaving, but he is determined, and even shows her a key to his collar he made himself (the collar, due to its silver metal and deadly barbs, prevented him from transforming under Viktor's watch). Finally Sonja agrees to leave because she is anxiuos about the attitude of the vampires towards the Lycans, who are kept as slaves and inhibited to transfigurate into wolfes.
As human nobles come to meet with the vampire council for protection from the wild wolves in exchange for a tithe, Sonja goes out to guard them. Lucian hears the Lycans near Sonja and steals a horse and sword from a nearby Death Dealer.
The Lycans attack and kill the noble and Lucian fights them. When Lucian takes off his collar and changes into a Lycan, the wild Lycans back down to his howl and leave before he is shot down by Viktor's men. Viktor, feeling betrayed, locks Lucian away after whipping him 30 times with a three pronged chain-bladed whip.
When Lucian realizes that his and Sonja's relationship is not a secret any longer, he tries to convinces her to flee with him. Lucian escapes and kills the slave master and begins to free the other Lycans. The guards are alerted and the liberated Lycans begin to be slaughtered by the Death Dealers' ballista. A majority of the Lycans are trapped and Lucian is forced to leave without them. He and Raze begin finding "conscripts" for his "army" and even travels to the lair of the wild Lycans in order to forge an alliance between the two "rival" factions of wolf.
When Viktor discovers that Sonja has an illegal relationship with Lucian, he imprisons his daughter.
Lucian learns about Sonja's imprisonment and sets out rescue her. On their way out they are attacked by the Death Dealers. Viktor is also involved in the chase and when it comes to the fight, it is Sonja who is confronting Viktor.
When Sonja discloses to him, that she is pregnant with Lucian's child, Viktor attacks her with a knife to her throat and imprisons them again with newfound hatred. After being condemned for her crimes against the coven, Sonja is sentenced to death at a trial presided over by her father and the Council, and Lucian is awaiting her condemnation in chains. After Sonja's death Lucian attempts to escape.
