Sola is a kind and gentle Green Martian Thark, which makes her a pariah in the cruel Thark society. She is often at odds with the Thark way of life because she thinks with her heart, not her head. Sola is the runt of the litter and is given the responsibility of stewarding John Carter after he is adopted by the tribe.
History[]
John Carter (2012)[]
Sola first appears in the film in the village when John Carter and the various hatchlings arrive. She is denied a hatchling and ends up being put in charge of Carter mockingly by her peers. John first learns the language of Barsoom by listening to the "Voice of Barsoom" while in her care. But when Carter finds a way to escape with her calot Woola playfully following him along the way, she finds herself in trouble when Carter accidentally kills a Thark with his newly gained super strength. She also leads Carter and Dejah Thoris to the local temple, which itself is forbidden. Knowing full well the consequences, Tars Tarkas allows John to leave with the medallion he found and take Sola with him so that she may redeem herself on a pilgrimage to the River Iss.
