Sophie is such a nerd, and I mean that in the best of ways. It doesn't matter how smart you are, some of these things don't just happen accidentally.
She made the decision to read the dictionary when she was little, not to impress people, but purely because she loved learning and found it fascinating. she memorized all the stars, which had to be more than just her photophographic memory. perhaps she did it for an astronomy class or something, but still.
not to mention, Sophie has canonically read fantasy books like Harry Potter and Percy Jackson, which yeah, are more popular books, so that doesn't mean she's a nerd, but that's because Shannon Messenger wanted to reference books people would know.
I'd have liked to see more of nerd Sophie. She should have every right to on a rampage about her favorite element on the period table (perhaps I'm projecting, my favorite is radium) and why it's the best and who created it and all the little details. Surely, Sophie loved learning and reading, and also before she learned that people didn't want to hear these things (wrongly, there are definitely people who would love to hear her rambles, rip Sophie foster, she would have loved Tumblr).
i would love to see dex and Sophie nerding out together over science and exchanging words in quick rushes. also dex is a movie nerd, there's no denying that, and I fully believe Sophie is a fandom nerd, more leaning toward books, but she definitely would be able to discuss movies for ages.
(also, Sophie was greatly isolated as a child, she would have definitely spent her time in a book or watching her favorite movie/tv show for the fifty billionth time)
Oh, and Sophie is a music nerd. I think it'd also be neat to see Sophie obsess over the different styles of music with the different cultures with Dex, but them still being obsessed with human music.
and I 100% canon Sophie blurting out to Keefe all about a book or something, and he thinks it's adorable, but also he's obsessed with fandom and she gets him hooked on her favorite books and she writes fanfic and he draws fanart.
