Sonoko Suzuki (鈴木 園子 Suzuki Sonoko), known in the Funimation english dub as Serena Sebastian, is a character from the manga and anime Detective Conan. Sonoko is Ran Mouri's best friend, and is the girlfriend of Makoto Kyogoku, with whom she is in a long distance relationship in. Conan Edogawa sometimes has to knock her out with his stun gun watch, if he ever needs to find someone for a deduction show. However, because of this, Sonoko has claimed to be a great high school detective in her own right.
Background
Sonoko is the daughter of Tomoko and Shiro Suzuki, the rich family of a large company. She has a sister, Ayako, and an uncle named Jirokichi, who is often involved in trying to capture the Kaitou Kid. Sonoko and Ran have been best friends ever since they were little.[1] Sonoko is often there to help Ran whenever she is bullied by other school children, more often there than even Shinichi was.[1] Although Ran knows that Sonoko has a lot of money, she always makes sure that money never gets involved in thier friendship, not going to ski vacations with Sonoko because she doesn't have the money, when she knows that Sonoko would pay for her to go.[2] This, along with other things, has helped strengthen the bond between both Ran and Sonoko.
Personality
Before she began dating Makoto, Sonoko displayed the typical girl her age, acting very boy-crazy, and often mostly thinking about trying to snag the "perfect boy." She would often act sad because she couldn't get a boyfriend, using all necessary means to try and get one. She often dressed in clothes meant to attract boys, and would try to sweet talk her way into being with a boy, by making him chocolates,[3] trying to impress a boy while wearing a bikini,[4] or going to various events that young guys were going to attend.[5] Ran, in the meanwhile, would always be the one to unwillingly attract the boys, which would cause jealousy in Sonoko.[6] However, this all changed when Sonoko met and began dating Makoto.
Sonoko loves using her money to go on big vacations, like expensive ski trips,[5] and loves to buy fancy clothes and items.[7] Also, she is a sugar and sweets glutton, and loves to go to festivals where sugary sweets are on display, often picking up gigantic plates filled with various cakes.[8] She has even used Conan for the sole purpose of having a children's discount on food.[9] She is also a big fan of the band LEX,[10] and various other people in pop music, including Two-Mix.[11]
Conan has had to use Sonoko sometimes, when he needs to do a deduction show. At first, he sometimes struggled to copy Sonoko's mannerism's down, but now is used to it.[12] However, because he has had to use Sonoko so often for a deduction, Sonoko, like Kogoro Mouri, completely buys into her whole "sleeping" persona, calling her self the best detective in Teitan High School, and a "Deduction Queen."[12] This makes Conan sometimes completely regret using her to solve a case, though he does admire her courage in certain situations. Sonoko is shown to not be completely clueless, and is sometimes able to solve little things on her own, and can figure things out when she is provided some assistance by Conan, like in The Suspicious Spicy Curry, when Conan had to communicate to Sonoko, Kogoro, and Yamamura in charades and sign language.[13]
Sonoko is a big fanatic of the Kaitou Kid, thinking that not only is he very handsome, but is also herself a very big fan of him, cheering him on in trying to steal something, even when that something is a rare treasure of the Suzuki family! She wishes to meet the Kid up close, and sometimes almost gets her wish, but is very dissappointed when she doesn't.[14]
Sonoko Suzuki and Makoto Kyogoku
Sonoko originally met Makoto Kyogoku while vacationing, where he was a waiter at a restaurant and worked at a hotel in his spare time.[15] At first, neither she, Conan, nor Ran recognized him, because he wore glasses to hide his features. He later saves her when he takes a knife in the arm for her, to protect her from getting killed by a crazed serial killer.[15] This is when Ran finally realizes that he is the famous karate champion. After defeating the killer, he confesses his feelings for her, which leaves Sonoko dumbfounded and flustered.[15] According to Makoto, he originally met Sonoko during one of Ran's tournaments, and loved how feisty and firey she was in trying to cheer her friend on.[15] After this, Sonoko and Makoto begin a long distance relationship.[15]
Makoto often saves Sonoko from dangerous peril, like in a snow lodge,[16] and in a forest.[17] Sonoko loves to use some kind of concocted scheme to get Makoto to come to her, usually in some romantic way, to create a romantic and dreamy experience for her.[17] This, however, doesn't always end in success, but he sometimes does stumble through her little schemes.[16][17] He often warns her of the way she is dressed, because he believes that guys will try to come after her because of it.[15][16]
Sonoko often wants to show Makoto that her feelings for him are stronger than he thinks, planning simple ideas to make him feel special. However, these often go in awry, as she either cannot make what she had planned to make, like when she promised to make him a home-made sweater, but had to resort to buying one in a mall,[7] or Makoto has no idea what she gave him is, like when he believed that the pottery she sent him was supposed to be for flowers.[18] Sonoko keeps a photo of Makoto in her bag, and uses it as a good luck charm for when she takes exams.[19] She has also made him a chocolate, trying to make him feel jealous by not saying who it was more, thus forcing him to visit her in a snow lodge to ask her what was going on.[16] When he finds out that indeed, she made him the chocolate, he gets very embarrassed himself.[16]
Although long distance relationships can be hard to be in, Sonoko has stayed faithful to Makoto, other than dreaming of meeting up with the Kaitou Kid, though this is mostly to see him up close more than anything else.
