𝐫 𝐞 𝐬 𝐮 𝐥 𝐭 𝐬 / 1. The Reformer ━━ People of this personality type are essentially looking to make things better, as they think nothing is ever quite good enough. This makes them perfectionists who desire to reform and improve; idealists who strive to make order out of the omnipresent chaos.
Ones have a fine eye for detail. They are always aware of the flaws in themselves, others and the situations in which they find themselves. This triggers their need to improve, which can be beneficial for all concerned, but which can also prove to be burdensome to both the One and those who are on the receiving end of the One's reform efforts.
𝐚 𝐜 𝐜 𝐮 𝐫 𝐚 𝐜 𝐲 /
Again, fairly accurate. I enjoyed this one a lot with the more contemplative questions that allowed for more accuracy of the assessment. And the results haven’t disappointed me so I’d say it was a success.
𝐞 𝐯 𝐚 𝐥 𝐮 𝐚 𝐭 𝐢 𝐨 𝐧 /
✧ I do think Sophia has ideals which would make things better as well as good intentions with those. I just feel as though her way of going about seeing it happen isn’t the most honest. But she definitely lives in the mindset that there is always room for improvement. Even at the top of the world. You can always do better. ✧ ━━
✧ She is absolutely a perfectionist. But I don’t see this as being a good quality to have as it really sets her back. The mentality that if it’s not perfect, it’s not ready can delay a lot of projects for her. ✧ ━━
✧ She does have a fine eye for detail. I associate this more with her ability to read others due to her emotional detachment. Although she is a lot more susceptible and even vulnerable to those she cares for. ✧ ━━
𝐫 𝐞 𝐬 𝐮 𝐥 𝐭 𝐬 / House Greyjoy ━━ It's hard to find someone else that is just as intensely passionate about the things you prize. Although a little obsessive at times, and maybe a bit delusional, you channel your intensity towards bettering yourself constantly. You have clear goals in your life and you're willing to do almost anything to get them. You're a hard worker and you're damn good at what you do. You recognize that you may come off a little strong, so you try hard to fit into a crowd that you aren't a part of. One thing is, though, that you're incredibly stubborn and are an extremely sore loser. You tend not to have many close friends.

I was shocked by the result but holy crap, the description was so accurate for sophia. Probably the best and most accurate test for her by far.
𝐞 𝐯 𝐚 𝐥 𝐮 𝐚 𝐭 𝐢 𝐨 𝐧 /
✧ I just wanna start off with saying that every personality trait, both positive and negative, absolutely pertain to Sophia. Even the soft interior to an extent, but only to an extent. ✧ ━━
✧ I think a lot of what drives her is meant to better her character. In the eyes of the public, primarily. ✧ ━━
✧ I have mentioned before that Sophia would go great lengths, even betrayal of her own kin, to get what she wants. Nevertheless, in her mind I do think she believes it’s always for the greater good without seeing it in the perspective as being a little one sided and insincere. ✧ ━━
✧ Without a doubt, she recognizes she comes off strong in the sense she’s very.. not approachable. She is indeed a very sore loser as her beliefs are profoundly significant to her and she is self righteous. And I certainly agree her friends are scarce. ✧ ━━
𝐫 𝐞 𝐬 𝐮 𝐥 𝐭 𝐬 / Phlegmatic ━━ Your temperament is phlegmatic. The phlegmatic temperament is fundamentally relaxed and quiet, ranging from warmly attentive to lazily sluggish. Phlegmatics tend to be content with themselves and are kind. They are accepting and affectionate. They may be receptive and shy and often prefer stability to uncertainty and change. They are consistent, relaxed, calm, rational, curious, and observant, qualities that make them good administrators. They can also be passive-aggressive.
𝐚 𝐜 𝐜 𝐮 𝐫 𝐚 𝐜 𝐲 /
I’m pretty meh on this one. There’s too many points here that I feel don’t correlate with with Sophia’s real temperament but I can say there are at least a few things that do match up. I’ll explain more in the evaluation.
𝐞 𝐯 𝐚 𝐥 𝐮 𝐚 𝐭 𝐢 𝐨 𝐧 /
✧ I feel like this would portray sophia as almost being nonchalant with the emphasis on fundamentally relaxed and quiet. Yes, she’s quiet but the way this is approached is very... carefree. Which I wouldn’t define her as being. She seems to care a little too much, but tries to keep it more internalized. ✧ ━━
✧ Sophia is not content with herself in any regard as one of her principles is to never be satisfied. If she was, I think she’d be a lot more settled than she currently is. ✧ ━━
✧ Point blank, she’s not affectionate. Not in any way. She is attentive to the needs of those she cares about which is how she communicates her love. But affection? Hell no lol. ✧ ━━
✧ I think Sophia’s incessant desire for change just makes this such an unfit personality trait for her and i’m not sure why she got it other than because she is a little more on the relaxed side in terms of what she outwardly shows. But she monitors her behavior carefully. ✧ ━━
𝐫 𝐞 𝐬 𝐮 𝐥 𝐭 𝐬 / Pansexual ━━ 30% you are: You are pansexual. This means you are more attracted to the personality of a person and will fall in love with them regardless of their sex. This sexuality is particularly interesting because it doesn't conform to set rules of whether you can love only the opposite or the same sex...you just love whom you want.
𝐚 𝐜 𝐜 𝐮 𝐫 𝐚 𝐜 𝐲 /
There isn’t much to say on this other than agree with its accuracy. I originally wrote Sophia as bisexual but quickly realized her sexuality is more aligned with pansexuality as she’s very personality based and less superficial about gender or appearances.
𝐞 𝐯 𝐚 𝐥 𝐮 𝐚 𝐭 𝐢 𝐨 𝐧 /
✧ There isn’t much to be said as stated earlier. I do think Sophia is wildly curious about what it’s like to be with a woman, but I don’t see it happening unless she falls in love with a woman. As she’s far more driven by her emotions and personality in her attraction to another. But as of currently, her sexuality is pansexual with heterosexual tendencies. ✧ ━━
THE DAY WAS SETTLING INTO DUSK, RICH HUES OF ORANGE and burgundy saturating the evening sky and casting an ethereal ambiance over the opulent florentine land. It was prepossessing, but hardly agreeable as Sophia concluded it may be time to abandon the gardens for the sanction of her chambers. Hours spent among the flowers whilst completing her latest work of embroidery the past few hours proved salubrious ; productive to the grounding of her mental well being. Now squinting as she struggled to focus on the fine details of every stitch, her brows furrowed in deep engrossment of her endeavor; failure to notice the young woman seating herself beside her until she distanced the piece from her face to examine it.
Briefly glimpsing upon the young woman, she hastily returned to her pending oeuvre with little acknowledgment. It was then she contemplated the convenience of royals accumulated in the same area; an advantageous moment to forge a camaraderie and affinities.
“Aren’t you pretty.” Sophia spoke softly while fixating her gaze still upon her embroidery, her fingers now moving with more dexterity and haste. “The sunset befits your complexion.”
𝐫 𝐞 𝐬 𝐮 𝐥 𝐭 𝐬 / Ravenclaw ━━ Ravenclaws possess the traits of cleverness, wisdom, wit, intellectual ability and creativity. According to Slytherin prefect Gemma Farley, Ravenclaws are so competitive when it comes to academic success that they are known to back stab each other, and likely other students, in order to get top marks. Many well-known inventors and innovators have come from Ravenclaw.
Students in Ravenclaw are noted for their individuality and acceptance of people and things that others would consider weird, as well as their outstanding intelligence. They can also be quirky and possess unusual intellectual interests. While others may be inclined to shun and ridicule such people, Ravenclaws generally accept and celebrate these eccentrics. Though they are often called stuck up, that is not the case.
𝐚 𝐜 𝐜 𝐮 𝐫 𝐚 𝐜 𝐲 /
this was just a fun little test that really buttered my croissant. I went into this with high expectations for either Ravenclaw or Gryffindor. I liked how this test didn’t outwardly make answers obvious according to what house you wanted too much. I do find it to be relatively accurate with a few minor hiccups.
𝐞 𝐯 𝐚 𝐥 𝐮 𝐚 𝐭 𝐢 𝐨 𝐧 /
✧ Her capabilities of being two faced are profound. She will always serve her own best interests while keeping most others at arms length { except a certain few who may win her over }. But if it came to it, I think no one is exempt from betrayal by her whether that be minute or significant. She will do whatever she must to get what she believes is right and owed and feign innocence if caught. ✧ ━━
✧ Given the time period, Sophia does find herself fascinated with eccentric interests for a woman like philosophy. I would say she’s a little bit ahead of her time which I would consider a bad thing in a misogynistic time period. ✧ ━━
✧ She is absolutely perceived as stuck up; arrogant. However, I believe it to be true unlike how this test so kindly phrases it. She’s a stuck up asshole and knows it but is just becoming more adept at hiding it as she deems it necessary to form alliances now where it benefits her. ✧ ━━
𝐫 𝐞 𝐬 𝐮 𝐥 𝐭 𝐬 / Lawful good ━━ A lawful good character acts as a good person is expected or required to act. He combines a commitment to oppose evil with the discipline to fight relentlessly. He tells the truth, keeps his word, helps those in need, and speaks out against injustice. A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished. Lawful good is the best alignment you can be because it combines honor and compassion. However, lawful good can be a dangerous alignment when it restricts freedom and criminalizes self-interest.
𝐚 𝐜 𝐜 𝐮 𝐫 𝐚 𝐜 𝐲 /
I actually didn’t expect this for her. I was expecting more lawful neutral { which was actually a close second, off by one point } given how diplomatic, yet distant she is. I’m still pleased with this result and I do find it fairly accurate given what description they have provided. Some of these traits definitely do align with Sophia’s disposition.
𝐞 𝐯 𝐚 𝐥 𝐮 𝐚 𝐭 𝐢 𝐨 𝐧 /
✧ Sophia acts as a good person is expected to act. This meaning, she follows societal standards of what is perceived as good to maintain a pure image. Being on the right side of the law. And even committing to sacrificial endeavors for the benefits of a well image. However, I don’t think she’s completely good in that she will engage in backstabbing behavior for her own benefit so long as her well public image is retained. ✧ ━━
✧ Highly opinionated, she is likely speak out against injustices whether or not they are political. This ties in with her self righteousness. She believes punishment is important in maintaining the well being of the innocent and is particularly vexed when she believes someone has slipped through the cracks of a crime. ✧ ━━
✧ Restriction of freedom and criminalization of her self interests is a given and doesn’t need much explanation other than it is very fitting to her. ✧ ━━
𝐫 𝐞 𝐬 𝐮 𝐥 𝐭 𝐬 / control freak ━━ Caring for people and things does not work the way you think it does. You are so invested in making sure that everything around you is perfect that instead of showing you care, you plan and control without asking for any input (which, of course, you justify by telling yourself that you aren't burdening anyone else with extra work). You show dedication and attention to everything the same way you would a bonsai tree: meticulous maintenance, control, planning, and foresight. You call this “dedication,” but it's not - it's needing personal control so badly that you've confused it for real connection - which is not really a great quality in a friend, but a very helpful quality in an aspiring serial killer.
𝐚 𝐜 𝐜 𝐮 𝐫 𝐚 𝐜 𝐲 /
Speaking on behalf of Sophia, she is feeling very attacked right now. Regardless, this is so incredibly accurate to her character. An absolute control freak in every way. I do consider her to be a perfectionist and prone to getting irritable when things don’t go her way. Because she’s so self-righteous, her way is always the best way and the only way. Any plans that fall through, whether or not they even involve her, can really make her bitter.
𝐞 𝐯 𝐚 𝐥 𝐮 𝐚 𝐭 𝐢 𝐨 𝐧 /
✧ Sophia’s need for constant perfection is the root of her controlling mannerisms. She does not like feeling out of control and thus perfection is important to her. Because her adolescent life seemed so out of control due to her departure to france and quick marriage resulting in death, she absolutely needs this sense of stability now. ✧ ━━
✧ I do think Sophia would consider her controlling nature to merely be a sense of dedication and even caring. But I do think she’s smart enough as well to recognize the deeper root of the issue which goes far beyond that. ✧ ━━
✧ Last note, Sophia would make a great serial killer in a modern setting with a vial of poison. Like a 50s housewife whose rich husbands mysteriously die after a year of marriage. ✧ ━━
𝐫 𝐞 𝐬 𝐮 𝐥 𝐭 𝐬 / The Ice type is all about precision. Ice is short-lived on this world, and must make the most of its time. Like ice, you strive to use your decisiveness to achieve perfection as quickly as you can. This is a blessing, Ice-type! Remember, however, that perfection is ever-shifting: be proud of your abilities, and don't focus so much on how they can be further refined. This perfectionism continues into your social life, Ice-type. You are well-liked, kind, and cordial. You can be too modest, however, and can come across as pretentious to others. Insecurity is healthy in small doses, but like ice, your inhibitions must melt away in order to become truly perfect.
𝐚 𝐜 𝐜 𝐮 𝐫 𝐚 𝐜 𝐲 /
I won’t lie, I’m not the biggest pokémon fan. In fact I really don’t like it. BUT I did play a lot of Pokémon Ruby and it was weirdly one of my favorite games so I am knowledgable on types. And I can definitely see Sophia aligning with ice types. I think the description is fairly accurate and I had a lot of fun with this one.
𝐞 𝐯 𝐚 𝐥 𝐮 𝐚 𝐭 𝐢 𝐨 𝐧 /
✧ Sophia is indeed a perfectionist in every aspect of the word. So much so that it’s troubling and more a nuisance often than it is considered a blessing. So I don’t think I’d particularly call it a blessing in her case. She can be a little over the top in forgetting that not everyone is naturally able to do something which makes her not only critical of everyone, but herself as well. ✧ ━━
✧ Coming off as pretentious is something she’s known for and I’ve stressed this point before. She is very outwardly arrogant, though does better in her adult years concealing it in contrast to her adolescence. ✧ ━━
THERE WAS A BRIEF CALAMITY THAT COULD only be described as blithely desolate. A moment where the continuity of time provisionally ceased to advance in the reticence of eventide obscurity. It was reposeful; delicate. And taking advantage of this serenity was cardinal to Sophia, lost in the scriptures of brilliant philosophical theories. Moments like these only happened so often as one would authorize. Alas, the restless life of a prestigious name spared no such indulgences wherefore duty and acclaim were sequenced above all priorities. Including the priority of one’s sanity. Sophia could find her solace within the embrace of idealisms she translated in her mind to fit the narrative of her native tongue.
A library was patented as a place of escapism; quiescent adventure for the less ambitious. The past few weeks spent within the confinements of the palazzo yielded no barren opportunities for that. It was only in the midst of a sleepless evening that one could find the solitude they would pursue. And a restless disposition granted Sophia the chance.
But lost in the depths of her conscience, smitten by the words afore her, familiar steps accompanying her small excursion interrupted the rhythm at which she read. Shifting the weight of her chair to gaze behind her, her eyes locked with a familiar countenance.
“Ah.” She mumbled briefly before turning back to her pages.
“I never mistook you as a scholar. Surely, you have not come in search of my company?”
𝐫 𝐞 𝐬 𝐮 𝐥 𝐭 𝐬 / Echinacea Tea ━━ You are a protector, a visionary who strives to make the world a better place for those around you. Not only are you fundamentally kind and caring, but you have the drive to turn your big heart into big action. Sometimes your altruistic and humanitarian attitude makes those closest to you feel unimportant, so take the time to remind them how you love them *specifically*.

This one is so cute && I love it but I do also think it’s pretty accurate. although it may describe sophia on a more extreme spectrum than how i actually wrote her to be portrayed. Otherwise, it seems to follow the basic outlines of her character. Also Echinacea is so cute and a definite moment for her.
𝐞 𝐯 𝐚 𝐥 𝐮 𝐚 𝐭 𝐢 𝐨 𝐧 /
✧ i wouldn’t call sophia a protector but definitely a visionary. i do think she’s protective of her ideals and those she loves, but isn’t everyone? the visionary aspect of her does desire to create a better world; an improved world. ✧ ━━
✧ fundamentally kind and caring is a bit of a reach. I do think she cares obviously given her desire for change, but to describe her as fundamentally kind and caring isn’t so accurate. like i don’t think she would go too out of her way for those she doesn’t know if it does not benefit her. She’s never kind for the purpose of being kind. Ulterior motives run strong in this Austrian fam. ✧ ━━
✧ sophia is more altruistic towards the welfare of an entire population though i do think she can be very selfless towards those she cares about. The kind of friend that desires to seek a solution to your problems for the sake of their own gratification. ✧ ━━

the priest longs to serve the higher good { however the individual Priest conceives of that }. More than any other soul type, Priests feel a sense of purpose, a calling. Even if they are committed atheists, like the Priest Richard Dawkins, they are nevertheless evangelists for whom atheism is simply a higher truth than religion. All soul types can manifest positively or negatively in any given moment, as the individual chooses. The negative quality of the Priest is ZEAL, being intensely self-righteous and preachy, trying to convert all to the "right way" whether they like it or not. The positive manifestation is COMPASSION, showing others the way to their own upliftment.

another test i find rather accurate with a few afflictions. nevertheless, i do believe the accuracies outweigh the inaccuracies. and of all the soul types, i do find this one to be most accurate if the others represent what i think they do. sophia definitely is the type to find her conscience riddled with a purpose; a calling if you will. there are some things i disagree with here but not everything can be perfectly accurate when there are so many different types of personalities.
𝐞 𝐯 𝐚 𝐥 𝐮 𝐚 𝐭 𝐢 𝐨 𝐧 /
✧ feeling driven to stir and arouse others to greater things with their vision of a higher and better way absolutely defines sophia’s way of thinking. As previously mentioned, she is very passionate about the advancements of history including medicines and the economy. Her belief that the pinnacle of our existence has yet to be reached does persuade her to encourage better from others. Especially those with promising futures. ✧ ━━
✧ longing to serve the higher good is how sophia perceives sovereignty. despite her arrogance, she is aware kings and queens serve their audience and not the other way around. Leaders are bound to their subjects in order to guide them. ✧ ━━
✧ sophia is not an atheist nor does she even contemplate the idea of a belief outside the recognition of a higher power. to her, that would be outrageous and insulting. while she is not extraordinarily devout, she attributes her fortunes in life to God and her faith has brought her this far it would seem. her certainty of the existence of a greater power is profound and unwavering. ✧ ━━
✧ sophia can be very self righteous, thinking that her way is always the right way. any opinion that opposes her own is wrong and this is a flawed characteristic of hers. she does have a hard time seeing from different perspectives whilst believing that she knows the answers to all inquiries. A significant flaw to her character and perhaps even a downfall. ✧ ━━
✧ she lacks many things, though compassion is not one of them. However, she serves justice and deems it necessary to atone for crimes according to the severity. in which cases, her compassion is fleeting. She finds it very easy to emotionally detach herself.

he hardly slept in the past couple of days and well, his temper had been rather foul. while his mind had refused to give up, his body could not keep up with his desires and collapsed him into deep sleep for the past thirteen hours. instead of awaking refreshed, he was groggy and feeling more exhausted than he was accustomed to. he had set it upon himself to do something so he could get his mind off of the current situation that befell his mother - from bathing to filling his stomach for once, he was doing better.
however now that he had cleared his mind a bit, he was suspect of all that roamed the city. while the culprit had been found, he knew that his death was only a scapegoat for something bigger in the picture. and he was more than determined to find out. he roamed the streets of florence, making sure to bring more guards with him to prevent danger from befalling his path. it wasn’t long before he returned to his study, pacing back and forth from his desk to the fireplace contemplating who would’ve had commissioned the horrendous act.
he felt defeated, collapsing into his chair as he wracked his mind again and again. it wasn’t long before he fell asleep once more. he awoke to the knock on the door, quickly composing himself again, waiting for the guard to announce whoever had come to visit. as he did, alexander calmly allowed entrance, “come in.”
TIME HAD PASSED SINCE THE PREDICAMENT of Isabel’s attempted assassination; sentiments of perturbation and outrage emanating throughout their settlement with the execution of the Venetian merchant. A mere whipping boy to take the fall of the concrete malefactor who was still innominate and reprieved of his rightful sanction. It was not enough. Protocols were being enforced to assure all food and drinks were thoroughly tested with an increase in security that only proved itself more vexing than it was helpful. Mayhaps this could have all been avoided only had those appointed to their obligation been adroit in accomplishing their duties. The measures being taken for prevention after an attempt had already occurred were merely a thorn in sophia’s side.
As she once knew him, Alexander stood feeble in contrast to her once intransigent and tyrannical self. They were children and children never stay the same. Nevertheless, the way he clung to the skirts of his mother as she recounted in her memory told the sentiment of love between mother and son; she was his mother. And so that would mean that perhaps now was the time to extend her reach to an old friend; perhaps even a confidant as he once served to her company.
Two guards were positioned outside what should have been his quarters. Her introduction to the men was both brief and stoic, requesting she speak only to their master in a tone patronizing of their standing. When she was met with him face to face, her lips parted into a smirk as she awaited the departure of the men from behind her.
“Would you think it haughty of me to assume you remember who I am?” she began “I never quite liked introductions so I pray you might to spare me that malaise.”
𝐫 𝐞 𝐬 𝐮 𝐥 𝐭 𝐬 / hera is the goddess of women and marriage in greek mythology and religion. Hera is commonly seen with animals she considers sacred including the cow, lion and the peacock. Portrayed as majestic and solemn, often enthroned, and crowned with the polos (a high cylindrical crown worn by several of the Great Goddesses). Despite negative connotations associated with her, she was a great and powerful Goddess who loved people.
𝐚 𝐜 𝐜 𝐮 𝐫 𝐚 𝐜 𝐲 /
It’s actually alarming how accurate this is as Hera was who I had in mind while constructing her vices and virtues and overall ambition !! I’m quite happy with the result as it seems I’ve done a fabulous job embodying what I set out to do for this character. I would not bestow sophia the title of feminist as she still follows misogynistic ideals given the time frame, but she is definitely more ahead of her time in terms of what she believes a woman’s capabilities are. Furthermore, I do believe marriage is a sacred concept to her.
𝐞 𝐯 𝐚 𝐥 𝐮 𝐚 𝐭 𝐢 𝐨 𝐧 /
✧ portrayed as majestic and solemn. This is a big check. Sophia’s solemn demeanor is one of her more defining characteristics. Her magnetism and natural charisma whilst engaged in conversation reflects the majestic aspect of her. ✧ ━━
✧ often enthroned and crowned with polos. Sophia definitely aspires to have a significant role; privy to politics and tactics. Furthermore, she does tend to garnish herself in more flashy jewelry as a way to subconsciously claim her jurisdiction and prestige. She is outwardly on the more dominant end of the spectrum. Had she only been born a man, her potential would exceed many expectations.✧ ━━
✧ negative connotations. I believe it’s easy to misunderstand her as she does appear austere and significantly impartial to those around her. Sometimes, one would think she is being inconvenienced. Nevertheless, I believe this has more to do with much being on her mind. Those close to her will find unmatched companionship.✧ ━━
✧ a great and powerful goddess who loved people. Sophia demonstrated her love for a people in the wake of her husband’s sickness and death whilst she assumed his duties and payed her dues to those she governed in Luxembourg. And just as well, this love was felt by all. She is stern, but above all she only desires to serve in a position of power as an act of love for the advancement of humanity.✧ ━━

word count : 2.8 k // points : 30.
001. describe your characters’ relationship with their mother or father, or both. minimum word count: 150.
Dismissive and deceptively distant. While Sophia is the embodiment of a teen who can’t stand her parents, this is massively untrue. Especially in regards to her mother. She perceives herself as emotionally detached from all persons but this couldn’t be further from the true disposition of her character. As a child, she ached for her mother’s affection that was distributed between three children. Being the middle of those three, it was seemingly difficult to be noticed which manifested into an unrelenting rage towards the only person she could project her anger onto; her little brother. As for her father, her connection to him was not as steadfast as the bond she upheld with her mother. Her relationship with her father was always more formal with brief moments of fatherly companionship. But her love for him was always viable and grounded.
002. what are your characters’ most prominent physical features? what is a feature that they are most insecure about? what are they proudest of?
Her most commonly attributed traits throughout her life were her blonde hair and green eyes. A very peculiar combination to many that invoked the bewitchment of many suitors in the french court. However, her height always made her feel relatively insecure but not so much as the moles located on her neck. She has heard such markings are the work of the antichrist and commonly associated with witchcraft. To avert attention from them, she prefers to wear bedazzling garnishments around her neck with a headpiece that cascades down her shoulders. Her proudest feature is awkwardly her nose. This feature appears particularly Austrian and Sophia is known to be incredibly prideful of her homeland.
003. how vain is your character? do they find themselves attractive? what is their worst flaw, and are they aware of it?
Sophia doesn’t weight her value on her appearance nor is it something that commonly afflicts her. Growing up in the french court, she was known as an Austrian beauty. The French were besotted with her for her appearance and many suitors attempted to vie for her hand in marriage since she was 15. Her perception of beauty is more weighted on the characteristics of a person rather than their outwardly visage. In that respect, she does find herself attractive. But in consideration of her semblance, she thinks herself plain. Not ugly but not outrageously pulchritudinous. Her greatest flaw, in her own eyes, are the moles on her neck. She also has some sparse freckles around her nose she feels as though she could do without.
004. what is your character’s ranking on the kinsey scale?
She scored a 2. I regard Sophia as being pansexual but favoring being heterosexual for the rate at which it’s accepted. She has had sexual fantasies involving women and her curiosity for it is wild. Mostly, her attraction is not weighted on gender, but the disposition of one’s character. She holds very high standards, but appearances and sex is not a defining factor in her attraction to anyone.
005. describe your character’s happiest memory. minimum word count: 150.
Sadly, Sophia’s happiest memory also entwines with her saddest. On the day of her husband’s death, she attended mass with the people of Luxembourg as it was a Sunday. Her bravery and composition was astounding enough to move several others to tears in mourning for both her and her deceased husband. The people of Luxembourg accumulated outside of the cathedral once the service was over to honor and praise her. As she made way from the cathedral to her carriage, a path was created for her where many stood to the side to bless her as she walked by during snowfall. Some were shivering and still awaited the moment of their opportunity to admire her. While she maintained her composure for the better half of the excursion, she broke into tears upon seating herself within her carriage, overwhelmed by the conflicting feelings of both love and grief. In her life, she had never felt so loved by a people. It was an intoxicating sentiment of reverence and something she desired even more after experiencing it.
006. is there one event in your characters’ life that they would like to erase from their past? why? minimum word count: 200.
So I hate to be this person, but there aren’t any regrets Sophia holds onto as everything does seem to happen for a reason; the continuity of fate and cause and effect. Even the death of her husband is not something she would take back for she would be taking back the sacred vibes of their memories together that i think she would be thankless for had his death not occurred. As well as her drive to strive for more for herself and her future kin. if she were to take back anything, it would be something as minute as a poor fashion taste when she was 12. Something that wouldn’t affect her timeline but perhaps spare her some embarrassment for sake of image. For all that she is and hopes to be, Sophia gives thanks to her past and every bad moment of that past no matter the circumstances. All of it was meant to be apart of her story no matter how sad or without justice it was. I also believe this ideal shows how much she has matured in the last few years as if you asked her this when she was little, she probably would like to erase a lot of things to spare her of her grief.
007. let’s talk favourites! what is their favourite colour, food, and season? what, in a modern setting, would be your character’s favourite song?
Sophia likes delicate colors, specifically whites and yellows. She definitely has a sweet tooth and adores dark chocolate but also enjoys fruits like peaches and grapes. Her favorite season is winter as she loves snow but she also greatly admires autumn for its colors. Her favorite song in a modern era would be All I Do Is Cry by Kim Petras. Honestly, she would be a huge Kim Petras and Slayyyter fan. She would have been so into Britney Spears as a child and would definitely need that modern Britney vibe in music she likes.
008. can you define a turning point in your character’s life?
i think the pivotal point in Sophia’s timeline of events was her being sent to France. It really did end up paving the way for who she would become and also aided in the union to Luxembourg that would ultimately show her a taste of leadership and power.
009. is your character an early morning bird or a night owl? at what time do they get most of their work done?
Both. Sophia doesn’t sleep very much and never has been a well sleeper which was a nightmare when she was a toddler. She suffers from insomnia, though this is not yet diagnosable so it’s just safe to say she’s terrible at sleeping and averages maybe 5 hours of sleep a night. In my head, she does wear very light makeup to cover dark circles from her lack of sleep but sometimes they can be particularly dark and difficult to conceal.
010 a. what other character, a npc or someone apart of the rp, is your character completely real with? who knows them best, has seen them at their most vulnerable, knows their innermost and basest fears?
Sophia was incredibly reserved in the beginning of her marriage to Guillaume. She disliked him, being still young and naive when they first married as she trusted rumors he was ugly and disabled and his disposition matched his countenance. However, he was quite the opposite. His disfigurement was one leg was an inch shorter than the other which caused a limp and required him to use a cane to walk but he was otherwise handsome and kind. He was a solemn man, yet very humorous in her presence and considerate of her feelings. Even when he barely knew her, he prioritized her comfort. Slowly, Sophia eased up to him and became very open, sharing many of her secrets, desires and fears with him. She was most vulnerable to him, knowing he would never take advantage of this information. All in all, he was not only her husband, but her closest friend and confidant. His death made her a lot more reserved to opening herself up to others with the idea instilled that everyone goes away in the end and their love can only go so far.
011. is your character a neat or messy person?
She is very neat without question. Her organization skills are astounding as she believes organization is part of being a good leader. That and I do believe messes give her a great deal of anxiety for a lack of a better term. She already has a hard enough time sleeping, but trying to sleep when she knows there is a mess somewhere in her chambers? Absolutely not happening.
012. does your character have any irrational fears or phobias?
A fear of becoming irrelevant in history. She wants to make her mark. She wants to be remembered for her accomplishments and contributions to the advancement of history. She’s very into philosophy and considers often the insignificance of life which frightens her. She can only prevent it the best way she knows how which is through her ambitions.
013. does your character have an underlying passion or trait that influences all aspects of their life?
I wouldn’t say it’s underlying considering it defines her existence. But her passion for leadership; for the advancement of humanity. She believes ideas and theories are constantly evolving and that they will one day live in a world so advanced beyond her recognition. Her duty to the world is to be a stepping stone in that advancement. To prevent sickness, cure and abolish poverty; these are all things she thinks the future holds and it’s important to her to be apart of that in her contribution. She absolutely strives for power but I think in a good way. Not for the purpose of unfound riches and praise but to propel her successors into a better, more viable future.
014. what might your character’s ideal romantic person be?
Someone who she can trust. Someone that respects her ideals and is capable of listening to her opinions. As well as a person she can share laughs with. I think she’s prepared to deal with the likelihood of infidelity given that she’s likely to marry into high status. I can’t say she would particularly like it, but it’s definitely expected in these circumstances. If things were more simple, I think she could easily have everything she dreams of in a companion. But because of the cards she was dealt and the life she continues to accept and even want, her standards for whats acceptable are relatively low. But for falling in love, she does have particularly high standards. I just don’t think she believes she will find true love in the same way she was fortunate enough to find it with Guillaume.
015. describe your character’s hands. are they small, long, calloused, smooth, stubby, dexterous or clumsy? do they wear any jewelry and would they wear polish in a modern setting?
She has elongated fingers with nails filed into an oval shape that slightly extend over her nailbed. Her knuckles and fingertips are red and both her middle fingers are crooked. She wears several rings on her hands but switches the specific rings out according to what she wears that day. So it’s often different. Jewelry and overall fashion is her way of displaying her wealth and I don’t think she’s afraid to go over the top. In a modern setting, she would be getting manicures every two weeks. The coffin shaped nails with rings stacked. I think she would primarily go for singular colors with an accent nail, but sometimes she will feel festive like during halloween or christmas and get specific designs done on her nails.
016. how does your character smell? what is their favourite scent?
Sophia is particular about smells but doesn’t like them to be overpowering. She prefers subtle hints. She likes to burn incense within the confinements of her chambers both for the pleasant smell and the calming effect they provide. She also keeps a bowl of rosewater in her chambers at all times to wash her hands and face. Most predominantly, she smells of lavender from the lavender oil she spreads on her wrists, neck and chest. Her favorite scent however is the smell of rain incoming. She also enjoys the scents of fruits and sweets which is perhaps why she likes them so much.
017. how would your muse describe their religious beliefs?
She is a devout Catholic but not extremely religious. She goes to mass like most others and prays often. But I don’t think it extends beyond that. She already trusts she has been accepted into God’s kingdom and will be rewarded for the things she will come to make of herself in the future. She is very confident in her future tenure and what she has already accomplished.
018. what rules does your muse live by, if any?
Don’t trust anyone. Always have a purpose and direction. Never feel satisfied with your work as there is always room for improvement. I think these are her main principles that really guide her through life.
019. does your muse overshare, or are they more private?
Definitely private. She has a tendency to not speak unless spoken to. However, she gives much voice to her opinions on significant matters. But as far as her feelings go, I think anyone is more likely to get struck by lightning than see the day Sophia opens up and overshares. And if she did, I think she would be absolutely mortified upon realizing she may have said too much. She is very cautious of what she says, giving consideration to her future prospects.
020. is your muse a gossiper? are they more likely to argue with their fists or tongue? what does their voice sound like?
Sophia is a listener. She does not engage in gossip by contributing, but she does encourage others to speak it to her through manipulative tactics. It keeps her a step ahead to know. She is definitely more likely to use her tongue as her primary weapon due to her sharp wit and power being Her Imperial Highness of Austria. Her voice is very soft and melodic. Despite Austrian German being her first language, she puts a profound effort in correct annunciation and even accents of other languages she knows. She is very fluid with her speech, though her accent will show through from time to time.
021. is your muse a … pessimist or optimist … lover or fighter … believer in happy endings … believer in love at first sight?
She is more a realist than anything. If a situation is plausible, she’s definitely more on the optimistic side and does believe good things come to those with good intentions. But she can also tell when something is looking grim and doesn’t desire to get her hopes compromised. So she remains fairly neutral. I can’t say she believes in happy endings because everyone eventually dies and that’s not quite so happy but she does believe in accomplishing the things you want in a lifetime and departing of this world satisfied with what you’ve made of your time. She does not believe in love at first sight as she is not one to fall in love with looks. It takes time for her to fall for someone.
022. what sense of humour does your character have?
She can be a little vicious with her humor but this humorous side only comes out when she feels comfortable with someone so it’s still a good sign. Otherwise, I wouldn’t say she has much of a sense of humor. Just quick wit.
023. what bad habits does your character have?
Nothing terrible like gambling or excessive drinking. Her bad habits are rather silly but her mother would always scold her for them. Like nail biting or rubbing her nose. For some reason, she likes her hands near her face as some sort of comfort mechanism.
024. how does your character feel about growing old?
She’s okay with it as long as she does something with herself. Elderly women are often regarded with much prestige and recognition as significant figures in politics. However, it does bother her she’s considered to be at a point where she should have two children by now. She fears her biological clock is ticking as a woman. Which is funny to me considering 23 is still a baby honestly.
025. does your character prefer adventure to safety and security?
She doesn’t strike me as being super adventurous because she’s definitely more focused on other things like sovereignty. She loves being outdoors, especially in the winter, but I don’t see her venturing beyond confinements she’s familiar with. So I would say she prefers safety and security.
