youngest daughter to high-profile lawyer, victor romero ( think og rob kardashian ) and plastic surgeon to the rich and famous, irene romero. her sister, isabella, is an a-famed journalist and new york time’s best selling author. and sofia is... well the family disappointment
her parents are rather cold and calculating people that didn’t exactly create a welcoming environment for creativity and self-expression in their home. and sofia pretty much broke every single expectation they had for her, leaving them without any idea on how to properly parent her. so she grew up rather independent and distant from her family
her one true passion is art-- particularly painting. hanging out in her school’s art room was her favorite thing in the world. most of her middle and high school years were spent competing in art competitions and earning awards for her work. by the end of her high school career, she had a promising future as an artist with an acceptance to a good arts school in the city secure
but creating art at a collegiate level among other future professionals was a lot different than high school UIL competitions. sofia struggled with feeling less talented and capable than her peers which hurt her self-esteem and put a damper on her dreams. it was at this low point during her junior year in college that an opportunity of a lifetime was presented to her
she was approached by one of the producers of love island usa with a casting opportunity. going on a reality tv show was honestly never something that sofia saw herself doing. but she figured she didn’t have much else to lose ?? and it could be fun ?? so basically she said YOLO and auditioned for the show, resulting in her being cast as a season 1 islander babyyyy
long story short: love island was fun as hell. she did in fact find love, was a fan favorite, and won the whole damn show. she and her boyfriend moved in together shortly after becoming $100,000 richer. and you would think that a couple strong enough to win love island would be together forever, right? HA
it basically ended up in disaster for sofia with her finding out he cheated on her and had her out here looking STUPID. she was truly heartbroken considering they had been in the talks of engagement. but what can ya do?
she’s done many different side jobs in hopes of staying relevant in the media but her most successful endeavor so far is her podcast. it’s basically the “call her daddy” podcast where she shares stories about love, sex, relationships, and hook-up culture in nyc. it can get very raunchy and she’s definitely exposed herself more than anyone probably should ??? but it’s fun and it keeps her name in the headlines
safe to say her parents only had to hear one episode of the podcast to decide that they were beyond disappointed in her. they’re on the brink of disowning her at this point, which would sever what little connection she has to her family + make her lose access to her trust fund. but she’s trying not to stress about it since she makes her own money now

pls if anyone is down, give me a co-host for her podcast. they could just be two best friends sharing stories of their crazy lives & wildest hook-up experiences. i’d love to see it
i think it could be interesting if she had an ex that she was dating before going on love island. like imagine if she broke up with them to go on the show ??? and they hadn’t talked since but they had to watch her move on, publicly on tv. and frankly, it could be karma that her relationship from that show ended badly. idk there’s just potential drama there and the chance for her ex before the show to laugh in her face, which is deserved probs
on the platonic side of things: pls gimme best friends, maybe a roommate, party buddies, good influence, bad influence, childhood friends, confidant, adventure buddies, family friends
on the romantic side of things: other exes on good terms or bad terms, current friends with benefits, past hook-up that she may or may not have talked about on the podcast ( either fondly or derogatory ), tinder matches, enemies with benefits, crush, will they / won’t they
other fun ideas could be: enemies, rivals, someone she’s had as a guest on the podcast, frenemies, friends of friends that haven’t had the chance to bond on their own but they always run into each other, neighbors, they know each other from social media and they hype each other’s instagram selfies or whatever but haven’t met in person yet, ex-friends, pr enemies that actually get along really great in person but are always beefing on social media for the clout
“hey ! you ! kingston !” sofia had been drinking a lot . her mind wasn’t all together and she would surely regret everything when the morning came , if she even remembered the night’s events . but as soon as she spotted the side profile of her ( ex ) friend , she was stumbling over to him with only one thing in mind . “’ve got a bone to pick with you . you’ve been slandering my name and i don’t fucking ‘preciate it ,” her words were slurring together and the volume of her voice was a bit too loud . “take it back , coward .”
sofia thought she meant every terrible thing she said to bryce the last time she saw him . she had every intention of never speaking to him ever again-- going through life as if they were nothing but strangers . but when she was panicking while trying to get a total creep off her back and the one ex she just couldn’t stand happened to be the only other person in the room she recognized , well ... desperate times called for desperate measures . so there she was swallowing her pride and standing in front of bryce with pleading eyes . “i know i said i never want to see you again but can you please , please just be cool for a few minutes and act like i’m here with you so that asshole in the green sweater will leave me alone ? he just won’t take no for an answer .”
mason was no stranger to fighting in public. sure, the fights were usually of the violent kind, not a fight between him and the girl he loved but that didn’t stop him from not caring of what other people thought of him, he couldn’t give a single fuck if they were watching. “that’s not how i think sof, i-” he wasn’t sure how to finish his sentence because either way, sofia had her take on what she saw and she had a right to feel hurt, he fucked up in an idiotic way and now he had to deal with the consequences. “it’s not whatever,” he frowned, moving closer to her and attempting to grab her hands in a gentle, affectionate way but did it slowly in case sofia didn’t want him to touch her, which was ultimately fair, he’d understand if she didn’t want anything to do with him right now. but then sofia changed the subject completely which made him sigh, nodding his head slowly, “yeah sure whatever, get me a coke,” in all honesty he was craving a beer but he wasn’t going to say that out loud. the alcohol would ease his anxiety sure but the action of drinking would easily cause a lot more problems so he went against it. “i love you,” he whispered, hoping to god she’d still say it back.
unfortunately her mind was already made up and nothing mason said in the moment could change it . maybe later she’d be less pressed over the situation . but for now she’d settle for quietly seething and ignoring all his attempts at taking back the emotional slap in the face he delivered on valentine’s day of all days . she let him grab her hands though , looking up at him for only a split second before avoiding eye contact . it was likely obvious to him that she wasn’t as fine with things as she’d like to pretend . but she wouldn’t admit that outright . she shrugged once more before saying , “can’t change it now so it’s whatever .” sofia nodded her head at his request and was about to pull away when she heard him whisper . she paused for a moment . because truthfully , she had her doubts that he meant it-- her own insecurities consuming her . however , it didn’t stop her from reciprocating . “i love you too ,” she assured him quietly with a gentle squeeze of his hand .
after slipping away from him , she made her way through the crowd to the bar . on her way there she passed one of the dreaded tables full of cups . sofia looked down in shame at her pink one before deciding to swap it out in favor of a green one . and it was with that cup in hand that she eventually returned back to mason . “one coke for you , bub , and the strongest thing they had for me ,” she chuckled dryly before taking a long sip from her brand new drink . the petty side of her was hoping for some sort of reaction , though she acted nonchalant . “you know the last time i was at this club was at new years . it’s kinda weird how much has changed since then ...”
mason frowned. he didn’t want to do this, especially on a day that was meant to be filled with love and adoration. he rolled his eyes at sofia, shaking his head, “don’t be like that sof,” he continued to frown, throwing his hands up, unsure on what to say next. “I can’t help it… fuck,” he bit the inside of his cheek, afraid that he was going to say something he was going to regret. He had to remind himself not to blow it, that Sofia was the one good thing in his life that was worth keeping rather than pushing away like he did with anything else that brought him happiness. “i’m sorry, okay?” / @sofiaisms
she crossed her arms over her chest , effectively closing herself off from him . a drastic change from the sweetness she was showering him in only moments prior . “be like what ? i’m just going along with your take on us ,” she nodded at the disregarded cup on the ground . even if he had thrown it away , the offense had already been taken . her eyes flickered around the rooftop . sofia wasn’t a fan of fighting so publicly . but thankfully others seemed too wrapped up in themselves to take note of the lover’s quarrel . “i don’t want you to be sorry for how you really feel . if that’s how you see us , then that’s how you see us . it’s whatever , mase ,” she attempted to hide her dejected tone , shrugging her shoulders like it was no big deal . she didn’t want mason to take this as something else to blame himself for no matter how upset she was . with a strong desire to hide her true feelings , sofia swiftly changed the subject . “i think i need to get a new drink or something ... do you want anything ? another soda , maybe ?”
mason: putting my life into other people's hands scares the fuck out of me, i'm stubborn as shit and i just don't think it would go well for me to see someone just for them to tell me everything i already know
mason: what if im too far gone??
𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐚: u've got to accept the fact that someone else might know what's best for u and is able to help u
𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐚: u're not too far gone trust me. u're gonna be okay babe
silas simply winked in response to sofia’s question, bringing the straw of his iced coffee to his lips and taking a sip instead of answering. “mm. i guess that’s fair. i mean, i’d be chill about it, if she wanted to get with like, my best bro or something, but she’s way more the jealous type than i am.” it wasn’t incredibly surprising, to hear that she’d gotten back together with mason on some level, based on the little he knew about the two’s history. “so… he’s the baby daddy?” with a smirk, he brought their conversation back around full circle, squinting as he tried to picture gi walking around with a pitchfork. “aren’t those things heavy? wouldn’t it just be easier for her to come at you with like, a knife?”
she looked to silas in bemusement . taking the wink as a yes , she was seeing him in a new light for better or worse . “you’d really be cool with that ? like , you wouldn’t even be a little jealous ?” she didn’t claim to know everything about the odd couple . but she got the impression that they both were the jealous type when it came to each other . sofia groaned at the mention of baby daddy’s , although begrugedly impressed that the way the topic made it’s way around again . “no ! that wouldn’t eve add up considering the last person i dated was ...” her nose scrunched in distaste , “bryce .” though she was quick to shake it off . “wait ... are they heavy ?” the concept truly bewildered her . “the way they wave them over their heads in movies makes them look pretty light ? a knife isn’t dramatic enough .”
𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐚: i'm sorry, what about ur dependency makes u think that u're in control?? if anything u taking charge of ur life by getting better would mean u have more control than constantly losing urself to alcohol
