Working with Cinnabar[]

"What's that?"
"Oh, it was Sonia's."
"You mean Stoppard's mother?"
"I mean Sonia Kikuno, the genius who basically pioneered Horomancy."
Penny 23 and Marina[src]

Sonia Kikuno performed a series of experiments using various forms of clockwork and Cinnabar to manipulate magic, leading to her discovery of the Horomancy discipline. Kikuno later had a son, Daniel, who studied Horomancy and used her designs to create several devices, including his Stoppard Cube.[1]

Meeting Marina and Penny[]

In 2018, Sonia answered the door to her home to Marina Andrieski and Penny Adiyodi, who were looking for her son, Stoppard. Noticing the star on Marina's arm, Kikuno realized they were Magicians and told them to get inside before someone saw them. After bringing them to her son, Kikuno stepped out until she began to feel dizzy, calling for Stoppard before collapsing in her workshop. Stoppard realized something was affecting the spells Sonia's watches used to tether her mind in the present as Marina grabbed one of Sonia's notebooks with her designs in them before teleporting out with Penny.

After Penny realized that he and Marina were causing Sonia's watches to stop working due to them being from another timeline, the pair used Sonia's Time Window to contact her in the past in an attempt to get her to stop using the cinnabar that affected her mind, but Kikuno explained that her son already tried to sway her, and after learning she was about to discover a new Discipline, she decided that her work was too important.[1]
