Sorano's family lived in Pagoda no Uesureya. Her father, Amida, was a soldier, and her mother stayed at home to take care of her and her little brother. Sorano was your typical military brat, and quite the tomboy. She got into her fair share of fights, something that Etsu was greatly displeased with. Sorano got her love of flying from her father; when he was home on leave he would take her flying in his personal aircraft. In YE 14 at the age of 11, Sorano lost her father during the Second Elysian War. His death had a profound affect on her, and she vowed to one day serve the Empire as her father had.

Needing to provide for the family; her mother, Etsu, became an employee of PNUgen Corporation and in YE 18 the family moved to Ketsurui no Iori when her mother transferred jobs to Ketsurui Zaibatsu. During this time, Sorano had to take care of her brother Kisho as well as attend classes.

Even before Sorano's preliminary education came to a close in YE 21 she started making inquiries about the military. On the day of her graduation Sorano signed up to enlist in the newly formed Star Army of Yamatai. It was during this time she displayed an aptitude for fighters, both atmospheric and space. During the Fourth Elysian War in YE 23 she was promoted to Shoi and given command of her own fighter squadron.

During the start of the first Mishhuvurthyar in YE 26 her unit was frequently in the thick of combat normally providing support for battle groups.

During YE 27 Sorano continued to climb the ranks, in part due to her skills, and due to the heavy losses the Star Army of Yamatai experienced during the protracted campaign at Xyainbor System.
