Sorais
- The title given to this article is incorrect due to technical limitations. The correct title is sorais.
sorais is considered by many to have been Errinundera's most talented striker of its classical era (World Cups 5 to 9) notwithstanding other great forwards of the time such as gabriellen, antarcticad and longipesp. She peaked at a time when the national team was in decline.

Domestic Football
sorais and her (non-identical) twin sister, nyleptha, came to the attention of football followers when they were selected to play for the second division side Milosis at the age of 14. Falling out with the coaching committee four years later they refused to play for the team leaving the White Guards with no option but to allow them to transfer. An unseemly bidding war broke out between many of the Premier League teams with McKillops Bridge winning out. The rivalry between the neighbouring White Guard and the Kingfishers is notorious so the move left a bitter taste in the mouth of many supporters.
The sisters played in McKillops Bridge's 2011 side that won the Premier League title and went on to win the NationStates Champions League title.
The sisters then confounded supporters even further when they returned to Milosis four years later and were part of the 2015 Milosis Premier League winning team. They played out their careers with the White Guard without winning any more cups.
Sibling Rivalry
Although they were notorious for their fickle loyalties and their supposed dislike for each other the sisters always played in the same team together, whether McKillops Bridge, Milosis or the national team. This suggests a strong love-hate relationship. sorais has the rare distinction of receiving a yellow card in World Cup football for making an obscene gesture towards a team mate - her twin sister.

sorais overshadowed nyleptha throughout their football careers, another source of resentment between the sisters.
Royal Connections
Their father, ullibendi, maintained that he was descended from the Milosian Royal family and named his daughters after the last queen, athpelyn and her sister, siaros. This was never given much credence and merely added to the controversies surrounding the two.
