#sotaa

Sotaa is a haughty kwami who’s always looking for a good fight. If things are peaceful, he’ll start one– Sotaa will happily lie, cheat, and manipulate others just to stir things up. He does like his fellow kwamis, and they are very used to his antics, but they try to avoid him when tensions are high. Sotaa absolutely admires Jellos, and his number one goal in life is to start a fight with Olivv.

Sotaa's Miraculous is a red and gold medallion, and his tool is metallic claws. His favorite food is popsicles. His transformation phrase is “Sotaa, claws bound!”.

Horse, Unicorn, Zebra, Kelpie-- jk. xD

So we got Death, War, Famine, and Pestilence. Death is well, Death, so Shii the Crow. War would definitely be Conflict, so Sotaa the Wolverine. Famine would be Scarcity with Ravenna the Hyena, and Pestilence is the one I'm not overly sure of, as I don't have any kwami of Disease.

The kwamis I think could fit this role best are either Plagg, Tikki, or Vollee. Plagg because pestilences are Destructive, and I headcanon he's caused some before, Tikki since one could argue that things like viruses and bacteria would be in her realm of things; and then Vollee my Locust of Invasion isn't necessarily tied to disease, but I feel the concept matches the idea.

Out of these guys though, I think I'm going to have to go with Plagg for Pestilence though, because I mean his name is literally based off of the word plague!

First one who comes to mind is Sotaa (Conflict). As the embodiment of Conflict he's happy when there's fighting around him, so as long as a holder was causing Conflict he'd be happy to work with them no matter their goals.

I feel that Plagg (Destruction) and Trixx (Deception) would be fine with some morally gray holders. I headcanon that Plagg sought out pirates for holders before, and that Trixx has had many adventures with holders they liked that weren't necessarily heroes, but at the same time not villains.

Kicc (Avarice) would happily help a holder steal and plunder whatever they could.

Jellos (Contempt) doesn't like humans, but would enjoy the corruption an evil holder would bring, and the manipulation they could have over them.

I think that Karrma (Justice) would happily join a holder that's going down the path of revenge, but could just as easily turn their sense of Justice against that holder if they fall too far.

Apple (Lineage) would stick by the side of a holder they have chosen, no matter what. But Apple also actively is trying to put their holders on the best path for them and would definitely pull them into a redemption arc.

It would depend on the personality and concept of the kwami, but in general a kwami would look for someone with loyalty, the strong will to do good, and the ability to keep a secret-- and usually with other traits like bravery, fighting skills, and such to back it up. However courage and fighting skills could always be built up if the holder didn't already have such, so it wasn't a necessity to have for a kwami to choose you.

In this era kwamis often would choose someone they befriended, or family member of a previous holder. Kwamis were often known to stay within one area or family line for several generations, even if there wasn't a direct threat that resulted in needing a Miraculous there.

---

Now most kwamis would usually choose someone with a personality that they'd get along with, and someone who matched their concept well (like Tikki would nearly always pick someone who was creative). But this isn't always true. For example Plagg will usually choose someone who understands Destruction compared to someone who is destructive.

Then you got kwamis who tend to try to find holders that oppose their concept, like the Lion kwami. Someone with the power of Courage can become very reckless, so combining that with someone who already shows little fear isn't the best combo. So a more timid holder might be the better route with Valoree. And while Trixx always enjoys a good trickster, he wouldn't want someone like Lila who embraces Deception to a dangerous level.

Of course!

"How did you get that scar, Sotaa?"

Sotaa whipped around towards his young holder, a grin appearing over his face with this question. He zipped in close to the human, who couldn't help but pull back as the Wolverine hovered in front of his face, pointed claws pressing close.

"This one?" Sotaa asked, pointing to the notch in his ear, and the human nodded. "Good question, Jerome, that's quite an exciting story."

"My name isn't–" His holder began, but Sotaa cut them off with a wave of their claw.

He never bothered to remember any of his holders’ names, it always got them so mad when he called them something else, and it was absolutely beautiful to watch them spiral into frustration.

"You see I had this holder once, an absolutely pathetic little thing like all you humans are," Sotaa continued, running a claw through the notch of his ear. "Lasted about two seconds in a fight, and he fell over dead, leaving just me to fight our foe."

"Who were you fighting?"

"A master swordsman with magic beyond even the Miraculouses, Annabelle," Sotaa said solemnly. "They were ready to destroy my Miraculous with an enchanted sword, and I leapt between them. The magic of the sword was so powerful that I couldn't even phase through it, and it nearly took my ear off."

"Whoa," the holder said softly.

"Well, I don't think you'll last any longer than that holder once we get thrown out into the field," Sotaa said, turning away with a flick of his tail. "It was nice meeting you though, Robert."

"You don't know that!" Their holder snapped, jumping to their feet. "We've been training for this! And my name isn't Robert!"

A grin was spread over Sotaa's face, drifting away, these new holders were always so much fun to mess with. They nor their partner had yet to even enter the fray but this was already turning out to be a lot of fun. Sotaa couldn't wait to see who they would be up against though, and just what kind of fighting would be in their future.

"Are you fighting with your kwami again?" A new voice groaned, and Sotaa peered at their holder's partner, Anjjel sitting on their shoulder. He grinned at his fellow kwami, perhaps his favorite to be paired with from his box. They weren't quite as fun as Olivv, but it was always fun to try to get under the feathers of the kwami of Mercy.

"Oh, like you'd get along any better with them!" His holder snapped.

"Heh, your kwami likes me better than he likes you, he was telling me all about the wild leopard that nearly ripped his ear off last night while you were sleeping."

"Leopard? What leopard?"

"Well if you were awake you would have heard the story..."

"It was a sword that took his ear, you idiot!"

Sotaa felt a gust of air rush past him, and he looked to see the Quail kwami was flying up to him, a disappointed look in Anjjel's eyes. "Sotaa, not this again."

"Ah, what's the problem my feathered friend?" Sotaa cooed.

"They're supposed to be partners, they can't be fighting like this," Anjjel insisted. "Come on now, just tell them the truth about your ear instead of these tall tales."

"And why would I do that?" Sotaa asked, pressing a claw to his chest. "A good squabble between partners always works out for the best."

"...It makes it so they don't work together," Anjjel said with a frown.

Probably the True Generation, as that was the time they were most free and truly got to interact with the world. For the Forgotten Box though it would be the Mage Generation, as that's when they were on earth and with the Mage.
