{{nihongo|'''"Mion Sonozaki"'''|園崎 魅音|Sonozaki Mion}} is a character in {{higurashi}} appearing exclusively in {{yoigoshi}}. She claims to be [[Mion Sonozaki]], a former resident of the now devastated [[Hinamizawa]]. "Mion" is skilled with both swords and guns though she rarely strikes to kill. She is eventually revealed to be both Mion Sonozaki and [[Shion Sonozaki]]. While the real Mion did die during the [[Hinamizawa school]] explosion, Shion lived as she was in [[Okinomiya]] at the time. [[Akane Sonozaki]] assumed the role of head of the Sonozaki family after Mion and [[Oryou Sonozaki]]'s deaths before being killed by an assassin sent by [[Mifune]]. Mion's spirit appeared in a dream instructing Shion to return to Hinamizawa. After arriving in Hinamizawa, Mion's spirit assumes control of Shion's body until the end of ''Yoigoshi-hen''.▼

"Mion" returns to Hinamizawa in order to reclaim the Sonozaki family headship by taking the [[Sonozaki handbell|handbell]] that traditionally symbolizes said headship. The bell's location is a closely held secret that only Oryou knew. "Mion" uses a scroll located in the [[Furude shrine]] and her [[Tamahajiki sword|sword]] to find the bell but is repeatedly thwarted by members of the Sonozaki yakuza under the command of [[Mifune]]. After arriving at the [[Sonozaki residence]], "Mion" kills Mifune and retrieves the bell. Once she has the bell, Mion's spirit leaves Shion's body and "Mion" becomes Shion once again.▼
