* ByronicHero: Sorawo is severely jaded and disillusioned by other people at the start of the story due to her past trauma, and her motivating factor in exploring the Otherside at first is to have a place where she doesn't have to bother with interacting with human beings at all. In fact, at the beginning of the story she can't really be called a "hero" at all, and has to be gently pushed by Toriko in order to try helping other people. Over time she does begin to soften a bit, and even begins to open up to other people besides Toriko.

If used on humans it has the chance to affect their mental state, which is why she's reluctant to use her abilities on other people... [[spoiler: until Volume 3, where she uses that aspect deliberately when she has to escape from Runa's cult. Sorawo uses her eye to drive one captor insane, and upon getting into an extended firefight with the cultists, her eye once again proves useful in distracting a few of them long enough for Migawa to shoot them.]]
