The 5th of February back in 1988 was a special day. It was the day that Alexandria and Christopher had welcomed their second child, and second daughter into this World. While their first child, and first daughter named Gianna who was just three at the time waited impatiently for her new sibling to arrive. Sophia Isabella Gallo was born, and she came out kicking and screaming. Beautiful olive skin, brown eyes and dark brown hair she was perfect they thought to themselves, and loved by so many. A little firecracker as Christopher nicknamed her. That’s exactly what she was.
Growing up, life was full of adventure for Sophia. She was spunky, free spirited and fun. Never had a dull moment. Always making things up with her older sister and causing mischief. The two were inseparable, but that changed when Gianna was eight, and Sophia was five when Alexandria and Christopher had welcomed their last child and final daughter whom they named Averie Caroline Gallo. The two older girls made a pact, they made a pact with one another that if anything ever happened to their parents then they’d be the ones to look after the infant. They’d be the ones to protect their baby sister. That’s exactly what they did.
Sadly when Gianna was fifteen, Sophia was twelve, and Averie was just eight their mother was diagnosed with cancer. Breast Cancer, stage four and non curable. It was late, too late in the game and it killed them as a family. It killed the three girls as they watched their mother get sicker and sicker . It killed their father as he became quiet and distant. Not really knowing how to handle three teenage girls as a widow. The man did his best. He did his best and even if Averie was still young after her mother passed, Gianna and Sophia knew that their father was trying.
It was hard, there was no doubt about it. Growing up without a mother especially during your teenage years was never easy. Though their father became their best friend. She tried to be good and do good as her mother would always say when they left the house, but there were times when Sophia would test her fathers limits during her high school years. Partying way to young and falling in love way to young. Though it wasn’t till her Junior year when Sophia realized she didn’t want to continue her bad ways. She wanted to make her mother proud.
So she studied hard and got into Boston College. Sophia decided to take after her father and found a love of writing. The young women studied Journalism and got Straight As while graduating at the top of her class. It wasn't until Sophia was twenty-eight years old when she got a job offer at Glacier Times in Anchorage, Alaska to be one of the lead Journalists on their team. After much consideration, Sophia decided to take it and has been in Anchorage for five years.
POTENTIAL PLOTS:
Currently thinking about plots for her, but maybe I would like to see her be the owner of Glacier Times at some point in her life? She's been on the team for five years now & she's working her way up.
Maybe she gets back into her bad ways, partying & drinking?
POTENTIAL CONNECTIONS:
PLEASE bring me her two sisters!! Gianna & Averie. Maybe some coworkers or a male best friend?!
