OVERVIEW
label: the actor
character inspo: sasha (amphibia), isabella trent (a natural history of dragons), ash persaud (afterlove)
They were raised by a single mother and her own family. For the most part, their life was as normal as could be until the age of five when Sofia decided they were interested in acting as well as dance. Thus their career began. Living in Los Angeles, it wasn’t unheard of that parents would take their children in to different studios for auditions and Sofia was much of the same.
Although their career was slow to start, mostly background roles in television shows, eventually they stuck some bigger roles. Sofia became a regular on a popular children’s channel show until eventually they were given their own show and only gained in popularity.
Family was always important to Sofia. Their mom, being a single mother, worked hard to keep them happy and for it Sofia has always been grateful. It took a village of people to raise them. And since their dad had never been in the picture, Sofia has never really been curious about him. For the most part their grandmother and barrage of aunts and uncles helped keep the family together and stepped up with Sofia’s mother was stressed.
Speaking of Sofia’s mother, she is a lawyer, so between dropping her kid off at auditions and rehearsals, she’s often tired. But Sofia never minded because getting to spend any time with their mom was important enough. Their relationship has always been a close one and Sofia’s mother is their number one supporter.
School was always been something that Sofia has tried to put an effort into. The subjects that they were interested in were all over the place, from maths to the arts. They were mostly taught by private tutors on set, but also eventually went to a private school as well as being raised in a Jewish household (meaning they got a Jewish education as well).
Upon turning twenty, the network they signed with officially cancelled their show and for a while, Sofia was not sure what to do. They had contemplated looking for another job, but in the end did some traveling for a couple of months and then applied to a couple of colleges.
Sofia ended up moving to Roswell and is a full time student online. They choose Roswell to get away from the bustle of city life and have always been interested in living in the desert.
TLDR: former child star who moved to Roswell recently to get away from the bustle of Los Angeles and get a degree in Geology.

SOFIA was one of those people that absolutely loved Halloween, so knowing that Roswell was one of those towns that had a celebration made them really excited to see what would happen. A costume contest sounded great, Sofia was already brainstorming costume ideas. Personally, they were always the one to go over the top when it came to costumes. “Hey, have you lived here long? What do they usually do for Halloween around here? Are there parties? How soon should I start preparing? I need to get some fun stuff for my house to decorate.”
satellite sports complex!
( open for — @roswellstarters )
since the accident that had stolen not only his leg but his confidence , jaden had strayed from crossing the threshold of satellite sports complex . in his mind , if he simply avoided returning to the pitches he had once frequented daily after high school , he would never need to come to the realisation that he hadn’t the stamina he used to . full health or not , it would have inevitably been a shock to the system , a man of the wrong side of thirty versus a slender teenager at the top of his game . either way , basketball in hand , a deep breath was pulled to inflate his chest and , eyes closed , the rough orange plastic left his fingertips .. to circle the hoop , and plunge within the net !! squeaking in excitement , his brunette head whirled to the nearest onlooker , “ — did you see that ?! “
ROSWELL was one of those places that they were still getting used to living in. It had one of those small town feelings like from the show they used to be on, but Sofia had never actually lived in a small town before. Their online classes had started and now they were trying to get used to the different places in town. Despite it being small, there were tons of places to go and honestly, Sofia felt like it would be a while before they were able to visit everywhere once. Today’s exploration brought them to the sports complex. They had never been into sports, but their uncle was. Finding something Roswell from here to send to him would probably be a nice jester and prove that they were adjusting to Roswell. They were looking at some golf balls with little green aliens on them when they heard someone exclaim. “Oh. No, I wasn’t looking. Think you can do it again?”
