Character Name: Sophia Alessi
Age (in 2017): 33
Appearance: Sophia has short hair now! She really wanted a fresh change so she went ahead and got her hair cut. After she had her baby, she still had a bit of her preggo fat, especially in the chest and hip area, so she got really annoyed with having to buy new clothes.
Place of residence: Washington
Roommates (if applicable): Nico and Cody Alessi
Occupation: An accountant for a small shop
Goals: To provide the best life for her family as possible. To keep in touch with her NY family
Top five relationships (friends, family, etc…):
Lyla - The #1 person Sophia will miss most from NY
Nico and Cody - They count as one because she would never dream of coming between them.
Riley - Sophia worries about her a lot since she never got the chance to get in touch with her before she left NY. Riley was the first to tell Sophia how she believed that Sophia can control her ability instead of having her life be controlled by her ability, and Riley's still really dear to Soph so it made her sad not being able to see her.
Paivi - Sophia adores Paivi. Ever since they first spoke to each other as pen pals, Sophia was convinced that Paivi had a very kind heart.
Akala - Probably her oldest friend outside of Claude and Peter. Sophia wishes more than anything to stay in in NY and help Akala through her rough patch.
Significant events/development from vol. 2:
Sophia specifically took a job that wasn't on the field because she didn't want to partake in all the action. Her main goal was just to avoid it as much as possible and yet she found herself in the middle of bad situations over and over. The thing that probably messed Sophia pretty badly was when both Lyla and Nico were captured by Nexus (both on separate occasions). With Lyla's situation, all she did was just sit at home crippled with fear and waited for somebody to take action. After helping Lyla deal with the aftermath, she realized that she didn't want to make the same mistake again and intentionally broke PROTECT rules to exchange PROTECT's captive for Nexus'.
On top of that she broke the rules again for not reporting both Akala and Paivi when they told her they were going to join the Rogues. By the end of volume 2 she came to the conclusion that she wasn't as virtuous and heroic as her other co-workers. She was selfish for putting her family and friends first before doing what's right. But that has its bright side as well because at least she has the strength and the confidence to do what she wants in life instead of just following what others tell her to do.
Significant events/development during time jump:
After the family moves into their new place, Sophia starts looking for possible places to apply to. Unfortunately not that many places want to hire somebody who's going to go on maternity leave soon but she found this cute little boutique shop (the irony is great) that needed an accountant. She probably made the Alessi bros life a living hell with her mood swings and cravings but at least things got a lot better once Lyla came to stay with them for a little. It turns out all she needed was her sister.
And then the whole family celebrated as they welcomed baby Fiona around December!!!!!!! Much to Sophia's surprise most of the PROTECT staff showed up thanks to Cody's girlfriend.
How has your character been affected by the plot (this sort of goes with the one above): She's even more worried for her peeps back in NY but pretty damn happy she's on the other side of the country.
Anything else you would like to add: It's easy to expect people to become action heroes during times like these. That sort of "never again" mentality pushes people to take action sometimes but Sophia just didn't want that for herself. She started off being very self centered; she wanted to be in control of herself and not be a threat to others and that was it. Five years later and she's willing to put step up when she needs to for the sake of her friends and family. I'm very happy with where her story ended up and I definitely did not expect it to end this way when I started playing her two years ago. She makes me proud and I'm very thankful that everybody has enjoyed writing with her.
