Sophia is an average sized woman. She stands about 5'7" (1.7m) and weighs in at about 125 lbs (~57kg). Sophia considers herself something of an academic but she takes care of herself as well. She understands that maintaining a good figure can be advantageous to her, so she takes care to maintain a decent weight...but only as a matter of convenience.

Sophia has long black hair that extends down to her lower back. Normally she wears her hair down (as pictured), but she will sometimes pull it back into a bun for work. She has large eyes that are a very light purple hue. She has a slightly pale complexion that is free of blemishes or other distinguishing marks.

Sophia works as a librarian, so her dress is generally businesslike. She usually wears fairly modest blouses and skirts. As mentioned before, however, she is aware of the power that the female form can have on others...and dresses cleverly to exploit this power. She never is overtly provocative, but she will make herself noticeable.

Personality:


Sophia should certainly be classified as an introvert. She spends a lot of time in a quiet setting, so she has grown accustomed to speaking very little. She is soft-spoken to begin with, so she has a tendency to speak only when absolutely necessary. As a result, she takes great care to choose her words carefully. Sophia takes pride in her intelligence, and as such takes care to maintain that impression with her words. On the surface, she seems like the very archetype of a quiet librarian.

On the inside, however, a different woman lives. As much as Sophia is soft-spoken and quiet, she is ruthless and inventive. Sophia has spent a lifetime in study of many topics, particularly in the field of metallurgy since she was visited by the Horned One. Years of being the Metal Witch have honed her survival instinct to a lethal edge. She will exploit any advantage and do anything if it means continued survival.

History:

Sophia was born in the London temple of the Grey Order to parents who were both young acolytes in the order. Being born to two Grey Helms, she was taught from an early age how to hate witches. It was only natural that Sophia would desire to follow in her parents' footsteps, particularly those of her mother, Rosaline. This desire became even stronger when Sophia's father was killed by the current Metal Witch when Sophia was only 4 years old.

Her mother taught her the love of learning (particularly reading) from a very early age, so Sophia was constantly reading and learning the ways of the Grey Order under her mother's expert tutelage. Sophia gained a reputation around the temple for the extraordinary intelligence she showed during her regular instruction and was expected to become one of the brightest young Spiritwalkers that the temple had ever produced.

As Sophia grew older, though, her mother became more distant. Rosaline was called upon to travel quite frequently, which drove Sophia even deeper into her studies. Right before Sophia's 11th birthday, her mother slew the Lightning Witch...making her a Witchslayer and a legend in her own right. It wasn't long before the other children began to refer to Sophia as "Rosaline's daughter", which filled Sophia with mixed emotions of pride and frustration. She loved her mother...but also wanted to succeed for herself. Sophia studied harder than ever, which was easy since her mother was busier than ever those days. Years passed in this manner...

On the night of her 16th birthday, the day before she was to begin her Seeker training, she had a strange dream. The Horned King, whom she had been taught to hate for her entire life, appeared to her and bestowed the title of Metal Witch upon her. Sophia woke up in the dead of night in a cold sweat, refusing to believe what was surely just a dream borne of nerves due to the testing tomorrow. She reached for her alarm clock to see what time it was, and was horrified when it flew into her hands seemingly of its own accord. She realized all at once that her dream was not a dream...and she could not stay at the temple. Under the cover of darkness, she fled...never to see the Order or her mother again.

Sophia spent years traveling to different countries in the hope of learning more about what had happened to her. Her intent was simply to hide, but the Order proved too intelligent for that. She killed her first Grey Sword when she was only 18, and that experience changed her outlook forever. The Order had forsaken her as easily as a piece of unwanted garbage...and she would never forget it. After that day, it became much easier for Sophia to kill her pursuers when they appeared, rather than evade them.

After 10 years of traveling Europe, Sophia returned to London to live a quiet life as a librarian. She could not fully explain why she chose to return to the city of her birth...it certainly didn't fit with her self-preservation instincts. Perhaps she was even motivated, deep down inside, to see the mother that had cast her aside so long ago...

Looks good to me Ness, consider yourself accepted :ryan:

On a minor note...one hopes everyone is enjoying themselves thus far :awesome:
 
Ok just wanted to ask through all the PM's if my bio is good enough now or if it still needs work.
 
Sorry, but I'm going to say no this time. Maybe you could both join in the second RP instead?
 
I haven't had a chance to post much yet because I'm waiting for Damon's character to bump into mine so we can start our meeting for our mini plot.
 
No worries Squid; my one post every three days rule only applies if you're interacting with someone else, so nobody gets held up. I had an idea actually about how to bring Crimson into things earlier actually, I'll drop you a PM...
 
I apologise to everyone for not posting lately. I've not really been to get on too much since I've been exhausted for the past few days. :gasp:

Squid, if it doesn't go according to plan, perhaps you could bump into me? I've only had one post so far and I have to admit, I'm sort of struggling to get into the swing of things. xD
 
Damon Salvatore (Love your username <3) I'll make a post up today and have Crimson bump into your character :) I think it will be a while before my plans happen lmfao so we can help eachother get into the story :D Expect a post today
 
In my next post or so, I'm going to need something to do with Alyss. So anyone that needs something to do is more than welcome to involve her somehow. :hmmm:
 
Perhaps all three of us can meet then :grin: Then Crimson and Alyss can set up their hateful relationship ;)
 
Apologies for the delay...I've been out of town for a few days and unable to post.

It seems things are finally moving along though, so I'm going to put Sophia in Rosaline's path. I'll make my post tomorrow morning...let me know if that's not alright. :gasp:
 
Alrighty. I'll try to have a post up tonight or very early tomorrow morning (central standard time, of course). Sorry for the delay on it, but I'm rather tired at the moment and I fell like passing out. But rest assured, it'll be up either tonight or at around 3:30am my time. :gonk:

I'll probably have Alyss walking down the street near Argent Park again and you two can do whatever then. I look forward to it. :ryan:

Really sorry for the delay, though. :gasp:
 
I'll join the flow when Martel has Emily meet up with Kat (I think that was the plan.)
 
Incoming, Freya's going to run into Lily. I would want to go over a few more little details with you Martel, but I'll save that for later - definitely after work. :gonk:

Plan was for Emily to find Kat and then promptly get trashed by Poppy, but Poppy could find her big sister if you wanted something to do...or she can run off after Emily by herself (which she'll do at one point anyway) and leave an awkward Tristana with Katyusha to look after, if Ringo didn't object~

Plans at the moment are down mostly to timing events between people, and whilst the events themselves are fully planned, when they're going to happen is sketchy, because they have to coincide with one another, which depends on how much people poast and how quickly things move :gasp:

Kay, I'll make a point of being around tonight, so we can fully sort the finer details out. Have fun at work :lew:
