Sora's relationships

Family[]

Her parents (disowned)[]

“We've missed you, Ana. Don't abandon us again.”

“I didn't abandon you. You abandoned me, I thought I had to prove myself to you. But you should never have to prove your worth to your own parents!”

“You're young and naive, Ana! Just come back to your family!”

“I have a new family now! One that loves me for who I really am!”

— Sora disowning her mother and father, "The Power Within"

Sora's neglectful parents are highly disapproving of her. While going by her original name, Ana, they neglected her and never understood her talents in inventing devices. Their relationship was briefly on better terms when she won her school's science fair with her Photac and was hired by Dr. LaRow. However, when Sora instantly bonded with Zanth, a dragon who was powering the Kingdom of Imperium against her will, they returned to neglecting her, as well as abusing her, to the point they confiscated her inventions.

When the Merge occurred and Sora ran away, they were heartbroken, believing she abandoned them.

Over the years, Sora believed that she would never be able to reconcile with her parents, which was proven true when they were the only ones who still supported Beatrix, believing the disgraced tyrant's lies that everything was made up.

Annoyed and angered at their idiocy and insolence, Sora rightfully disowns them and proclaimed the Ninja are her true family before achieving her True Potential, right in front of them.

After the MergeQuake Storm, they both solemnly look at a photo of happier times between them and their daughter, showing that they cared for her to some degree and were immensely saddened that their relationship with her ended, though it is unknown if they acknowledged that it was their fault.

Instructor[]

Lloyd[]

“I can't Quake like Frak or use Elemental Reflex like Zur. I have their Powers, why can't I be like any of them?”

“I think that's the problem, Sora. You're trying to be like them”

“Uh, yeah! What else can I do?”

“You can be you.”

“Being me isn't great right now. My best friend hates me, my Spinjitzu still won't spinjitz, and an evil loser from ancient times is about to trash me in front of a live audience.”

“Sora, I've seen you do things no one else could ever do. Stop trying to use Elemental Powers the way everyone else did. Think of how only Sora would use them.”

— Sora and Lloyd, "The Final Game"

Lloyd is Sora's master. Upon discovering her Technology powers, Lloyd tried to get Sora to realize they truly are hers, when she believed Riyu is just giving them to her. It wasn't until she achieved her True Potential to save him and Arin from Beatrix that she knew that her disowning parents and doubts were holding her back.

She expressed worry for Lloyd when his visions were troubling him and received tips and training from Lloyd during the Tournament of the Sources. Both showed surprise and sadness after Arin decided to go with Ras. After her victory ceremony, Sora thanked Lloyd for his previous instructions and Sora tried to comfort Sora over losing Arin. When Lloyd rudely interrupted a moment between Wyldfyre and Roby, Sora dragged him away by the collar of his kimono.

Later, when she decided to leave the Ninja and accompany Arin when he departed with Ras to continue their efforts to reverse the Merge, Sora made a point to apologize to Lloyd before she left.

Rontu (formerly)[]

Friends[]

Arin[]

“Stronger together, right?”

“Together forever.”

— Sora and Arin, "Crashing Together"

Arin had been Sora's best friend since after running away from Imperium when the Merge occurred, when they became mech racers together. Their dynamic together was very close and supportive, as they seemed to be affectionate, supporting and cared for and loved each other very much and considered each other as family, they were seen to be very, very close. They were fond of each other. After rescuing Riyu from the Claws of Imperium and meeting up with Lloyd, they both became his students, though Sora felt she was incapable of being a ninja as she lacked focus and believed her newly discovered powers are Riyu's, although Arin tried to reassure her through out these moments. She deeply cares for him, and loves him.

They were seen to become closer in Season 2 but, after the latter find out Sora lied to him about his Object Spinjitzu ending the Ritual of the Blood Moon, he became cold and distant to her, constantly avoiding and ignoring her in situations where he clearly needed some help solving a mystery, making Sora feel upset, frustrated and hurt. When Arin chased an injured Ras getting taken away by Nokt to find out what happened to his Parents, Sora panicky yelled at Arin to come back. When he disappeared with Ras and the Forbidden Five, she anxiously screamed out the name of her friend, showing she still cared about him and was afraid she'd lost him, despite the fact he kept pushing her away. Sora was seen to be heartbroken when Arin abandoned the Ninja, she already started to miss him very much, but concluding the fact that he didn't want to be found.

When they met again in "Crashing Together", both apologized to each other, and Arin informed Sora of the supposed death of his parents which led the latter to comfort and hug him.

When Arin return with Ras after Thunderfang' s defeat, Sora decide to go with them, no wanting to abandon her friend again and wanting to watch over him.

Riyu[]

Riyu is a good/close friend of Sora. When she first met him as a baby, Sora attempted to show compassion towards him by helping him escape the Claws of Imperium, along with Arin, until Riyu ended up giving some his dragon energy to her, which awoke her dormant Technology powers. For a certain period she could not use her power without the drainage of Riyu who willingly offered her energy. After achieving her True Potential, Sora told Riyu about needing to do it on her own. They are seen to be very close and to get along very and care so much for each other. She cares very much for Riyu as a part of her family and will always be there for him.

When Riyu grew to a teen, Sora enjoyed riding on his back and was amazed to see him fly while attempting to stop the Ritual of the Blood Moon. They trained together under Rontu's tutelage to learn Spinjitzu and supported each other.

When Arin and Sora left with Ras, Riyu showed signs of sadness to see his two best friends leave and especially with someone like Ras.

When Sora returned to the monastery weeks later, Riyu jumped on her to express his joy at seeing her again, while still expressing his resentment at her for having left.

Kai[]

“But when Lloyd gets back, he's not going to be-”

“And we're off!”

— Sora and Kai, "What the Mech?"

Kai is Sora's fellow ninja. Through their brief first time meeting each other, Kai assumed Lloyd was just babysitting her, until they managed to truly interact, and was astounded about her Technology powers that are souped up by a baby dragon named Riyu. Though they didn't get to speak to one another much at first, they soon went on a few adventures together; as shown in The Elemental Mechs when they fought a corrupted Lobbo, the Mechanic , Ice Dragons and Lava-Tides. They even showed great teamwork by combining different parts of their mech alongside Cole.

In "Elements of Betrayal", Sora was happy when Kai was released from Nether-Space.

In "For Whom the Bell Tolls," Kai was very surprised to see Sora upon his return from Imperium and hugged her.

Zane[]

Zane is Sora's fellow ninja. Although they did not interact much, Sora and Zane soon got to know each other and started to get along very well.

Cole[]

Cole is Sora's fellow ninja. Their introduction was hostile when Cole attacked her, Nya, and Riyu as a golem, believing they were going to harm Fritz and Spitz until he stood down when he saw Nya's Spinjitzu and made a proper introduction. They were seen to become good friends later on in the show. In The Elemental Mechs, they went on a few adventures and faced a corrupted Lobbo, the Mechanic, Ice Dragons and Lava-Tides and combined different parts of their mechs alongside Kai. The duo happily shared a bowl of mixed noodles at the end of "A Pain in the Mech!".

Nya[]

Nya is Sora's fellow ninja. Their introduction was hostile when Nya attacked Sora for aiding the Earth Dragons, until they were able to settle their differences and worked together to fight them, despite failing. The two girls quickly became close friends, Nya probably being happy to have another ninja girl by her side in the team. When the team split to search for the Dragon Cores, Sora did not hesitate to accept Nya's insistence on going to search for the Yellow Core.

Like most classic ninja, Nya played a mentoring role for Sora. One example is in "Land of Lost Things," where she encourages Sora to believe in her elemental powers, reminding her not to doubt herself.

They also showed girlpower support in their relationship, for example when Sora as well as Wyldfyre, hugged Nya in "The Vault of Focus" after she was disappointed in Jay's behavior, while she hoped that there was still goodness in him.

Wyldfyre[]

“Not funny, Wyldfyre.”

“Not joking, Sora.”

— Wyldfyre and Sora, "Force From the East"

Wyldfyre is Sora's teammate. Despite the rocky start, the two began to work together with Sora helping carry Wyldfyre after the latter was injured by Cinder. In "Rising Ninja", Wyldfyre quickly figured out that Sora help Arin throw the Elemental Fire Mech's hand. Both Wyldfyre and Sora agreed to keep it a secret, not wanting to burden Arin with the knowledge of Sora's intervention. In "Clues and Suspects", Wyldfyre showed a confused face when Arin rejected Sora's help. Upon seeing Wyldfyre and Roby doing a love roar together, Sora dragged Lloyd away from them for rudely interrupting them.

Alfonzo Frohicky[]

Sora is shown to have an amicable relationship with Mr. Alfonzo Frohicky.

Geo[]

“Not even your parents?”

“I... don't remember my parents.”

“I wish I didn't remember mine. Even if I managed to save the world with the ninja, I'm sure my parents would still be disappointed in me.”

“Sounds like living in Imperium really broke you.”

“Yeah. And sometimes I feel like I'll never be able to fix it.”

— Geo and Sora, "Land of Lost Things

Geo is the Master of Fusion, whom Sora met in the Land of Lost Things. They share their mutual past and bonded over being treated as outcasts, Geo being a Munce with Geckle features and Sora opposing dragon power.

Frak[]

“You outplayed me. Congratulations.”

“You were a worthy opponent.”

— Frak and Sora, "Clues and Suspects"

Frak is Arin's childhood best friend and her teammate. Sora met him in the Tournament of Sources. When she learnt Frak was being apprenticed by Ras, Sora was in complete surprise. When it came down to the semi-finals, she and Frak fought against each other before seeing Frak reject his mask to fight fairly, earning her respect in the process. When the empowered Wolf Clan launched an attack, Sora worried about Frak and the other depowered Elemental Masters, but trusted his words and went after Nokt and Rox alongside Lloyd and Wyldfyre.

After the events at the Tournament of Sources, Sora and Frak became fellow students under Lloyd and the other Ninja. However, their relationship was showed to be awkward at best. One of the reasons for that was due to the fact they both were Arin's best friend at different parts of the latter's life, with her having a hard time to find the best way to address him, only doing it when she was at great need of help in continuing Arin's pie business (as Frak was the one to teach Arin how to bake).

But the biggest issue in their relationship was the fact Frak was previously Ras' student, causing her to have a hard time developing some level of trust on Frak. This was showed during their search for Arin, where Sora's lack of trust on Frak and the latter's need to prove himself worthy would crash and caused them to have a harder time to bond. Eventually, after Sora started to give Frak a new chance and he stopped trying to much, the two actually became friends.

When Sora came back to the monastery with Wyldfyre, Frak was happy to see her okay and he said that he was worried about her, couldn't even sleep. In "Chaos Reigns" Frak wanted to express his feelings towards Sora but decided to make a quick excuse that he ate yogurt in monastery fridge. It's clear that Sora is not aware of Frak's crush, even though there were hints of it.

Zanth[]

Zanth is the first dragon Sora encountered in Imperium, She found bond with Zanth, so strong even naming herself after her former name Sora, After seeing what Dr. LaRow does to her and learns the truth about Imperium she abandons her hometown, but years later comes back to rescue her, they become closer friends ever since.

Arrakore[]

Jay[]

Jay was a fellow ninja, who Sora never meet but heard of him through Arin and then the other ninja. They did not interact until Season 3, in which the ninja find Jay who had his goodness shattered in addition to his amnesia. Sora was shown to be annoyed with Jay's rude behavior and was unconcern of Jay, when Wyldfyre turned the ship, and caused Jay to almost fall off but ended up hitting his head. She notably reminded him with annoyance the Security Bots' immunity to Elemental Powers, after Jay attacked them with his Lightning when they went to see Bleckt. Another issue their brief alliance was the fact Jay was previously Ras' student during the Tournament of Sources and that Jay had almost killed Arin while they were in the World Forest.

In "The Vault of Focus", Sora showed annoyance to Jay's rude behavior commenting of romantic relationships and attacking the Security Bots (Sora appeared to forgotten Roby only gave the Ninja a personal tour and Jay was absent at the time).

Enemies[]

Beatrix[]

Sora had a mass hatred for Beatrix, due to her dictatorial regime and her cruelty against dragons in order to empower Imperium.

Dr. LaRow (former idol)[]

“Hmm. You've grown feisty. Where's that sweet, wide-eyed little girl who was excited just to be in a real science lab?”

“She grew up. On the streets of a strange city. When she had to escape a family poisoned against her by her former hero.”

— Dr. LaRow and Sora, "Mindless Beasts"

Dr. LaRow used to be Sora's idol while she lived in Imperium. When she was offered a job after winning her school's science fair, she refused upon discovering she was using Zanth to keep the city powered, which led to Sora being shunned.

Over the years. Sora held massive grudge against Dr. LaRow, viewing her responsible for ruining her life. When meeting her for the first time in years, Sora is very hostile towards her former idol and even openly insults her, which surprises Dr. LaRow that Sora grew very feisty and when the scientist wonders what happened to the sweet, naive girl that used to be Ana, Sora answers that she grew up in the streets after being betrayed by her former idol. Dr. LaRow tells her that some heroes may disappoint. When Dr. LaRow asks Sora to create more of the Photac beasts, Sora refused, however, she relented after Dr. LaRow threatened to drain Zanth of her energy. But after activating multiple Photacs, Sora betrayed Dr. LaRow and helped the other ninja to defeat the Claws of Imperium and save dragons.

After the Battle of the Second Monastery, upon hearing from Rapton about the Dragon Cores, Beatrix ordered Dr. LaRow alongside Rapton and Dorama to find three Dragon Cores for MergeQuake weapon. Which led Dr. LaRow to the Land of Lost Things. After Zanth was captured, upon hearing from Bonzle about Dr. LaRow, Sora tried to face her before Dr. LaRow calls her broken experiment. She then demonstrates how the drones when combined can make a barrier of energy before eventually holding Sora down while a single drone heads for the core. Sora alongside Nya, Riyu, Cole and Finders tried to stop her from getting the core but failed. Despite Sora's failure, the ninja successfully managed to defeat Beatrix and liberate the Kingdom of Imperium from her tyrannical rule.

Ras (former ally)[]

“Give up, and we will spare your lives. The alternative is, I will crush the life out of both of you. Either way, that dragon will belong to me.”

“Never!”

— Ras and Sora, "The Battle of the Second Monastery"

Sora has a massive amount of dislike for Ras due to his goal of capturing and draining dragons and trying to free the Forbidden Five from the Nether-Space.

Jordana (rival; formerly)[]

Jordana was Sora's classmate, whose grudge against the latter started when she became popular upon showing her Photac device. After Sora refused to work for Dr. LaRow, Jordana took it. However, when they saw each other, Sora doesn't remember her, enraging Jordana even more. However, during their next encounter at the Cloud Kingdom, she then recognizes her as the girl from her class in Imperium. In the episode The Final Game, Sora apologizes to Jordana for ignoring her all these years, and admitting could have become good friends. It is unknown if Jordana heard these words while still being possessed by Rox.

The Mechanic[]

Sora had her first encounter with the Mechanic when she witnessed him sabotaging the Mech Master 5000 at the Crossroads. At first, Sora mistakenly assumed that he was a genuine mechanic. However, her perception quickly changed when she caught sight of him stealing the mechs. Determined to put a stop to his nefarious activities, Sora swiftly activated her own mech. Unfortunately, The Mechanic took her down by using his commandeered mechs to ram into the Elemental Mechs, causing them to be dismantled. As chaos ensued and the remaining mechs engaged in a fierce battle with the ninja, the Mechanic managed to escape. Being the fastest racer out of the ninja, Sora relentlessly pursued the Mechanic, fueled by her determination to bring him to justice. Mocking her technological prowess, the Mechanic arrogantly taunted Sora before forcefully knocking her off the bridge. However, Sora's resourcefulness came to her aid as she used the legs from the Elemental Fire Mech as boosters, enabling her to regain her footing on the bridge. She struck the Mechanic's mech with such force that it split in half. Emerging victorious, Sora confidently declared that she was unimpressed with the Mechanic's skills.

Cinder[]

Cinder is one of Sora's enemies. Since the episode The Blood Moon, she, Arin and Riyu had fight with him and two members of the wolf mask clan. In the episode Rising Ninja, Cinder and Sora have a one on one battle, she traps Cinder but was able to overcome her and knock her out unconscious, even had a battle in the Tournament of the Sources.

Nokt[]

“I have no idea how you even made it this far, girl. But I promise you, you've never faced anyone like me.”

“I faced parents like you. I faced a whole realm like you.”

“Is your sob story over yet?”

— Nokt and Sora, "The Final Game"

Sora views Nokt as an enemy, but their main interaction was when they were pitted against each other in the Tournament of the Sources. Sora had a hard time against Nokt, but was smart enough to use the shocker chip on his head to fight him. Sora told Nokt about her struggles, with Nokt responding with little to no interest.
