BIOGRAPHY
Sophie Lim was a girl born with a heart of gold. The daughter of two second generation Americans, Sophie and her siblings were taught early on to be kind and that if you treated others how you wanted to be treated that sheโd be a better person. As a young girl, she had taken that fully to heart. Sophie was always the kid on the playground that played with kids who didnโt have many friends and patching girls up at soccer practice.ย
As she got older, Sophie always enjoyed the weirder things that life had to offer. Her parents would say it was because they let her see Twilight and Harry Potter at too young of an age, but once Sophie got into high school her and some of her closest friends on the soccer team got up to shenanigans on the weekend that didnโt entail partying. They bought a Ouija board that theyโd use constantly, it was just a fun little hobby! Plus the spooks were definitely worth it. Although they grew tired of it and soon began dabbling in what could only be witchcraft. To the outside world, it probably didnโt seem like anything was happening but Sophie would swear up and down that they hexed one girlโs boyfriend and he broke his foot the next weekend. That couldnโt just be a coincidence, right?
Then theyโd go to occult shops. Buy crystals, tarot cards, anything they could get their hands on. It was the first time Sophie had felt like she had found something to connect with people on. They had their own little group, which they had dubbed as their coven, but all good things must end. Or all teenage girls must grow up.
Come high school graduation and the girls all went off in their separate ways, Sophie held onto her items and focused the summer before her freshman year of college on becoming more of an expert with her tarot cards and even palm readings. As that fall came, she had finally stepped on Monarch soil to study film. Sheโs not someone who wants to become a director or filmmaker, she could care less about a camera, but she does enjoy being a part of the post-production aspect with editing and sound production.
Sophieโs only recently come out... sort of. For as long as she could assume, Sophie just thought she was bisexual. She thought guys were cute, and lived in a predominately straight world already, but if she were being honest, penises kind of frightened her. It took a while of figuring herself out and one messy breakup with a guy, but she learned that dudes just werenโt it for her.

โright, youโre rightโฆ i should have guess that you were in the bathroom instead of expecting for the worst.โ maisy said, shrugging her shoulders slightly and then finally closing the drawer she had been going through, before turning back to look at sophie with a smile on her face.ย โjust the same stuff i always look through. sorry,ย i know youโre probably used to it by now, but i canโt help doing that everywhere i go. itโs just an habit of mine.โ she said with a small shrug of her shoulders, as she looked at her friend for a while, smiling as she agreed on her idea of going to rollerblade. it would be a pretty fun activity for the two of us and hopefully it would let her a bit loose, even if she probably wasnโt great at it, she still knew how to do it.ย โgood, iโm glad that you agree! plus, if any of us fall over then it will just be a funny experience and hopefully that would help.โ she said with a nod, hoping that she would have fun. the last thing she needed was to be stressed and she was hoping that some time with sophie would be a way to relax, especially since the two had been best friends for quite some time now.ย โokay, okay, letโs go. and i donโt care about being a new york times bestseller, i just want to write again. and actually write some good stuff.โ she said with a nod.

โHey, I donโt blame you. Do you know how scary Tinder dates can go? Or going out at all?โ Itโs not like Sophie had done either recently, but she hadnโt seen Maisy since before last night and between now and then there were a lot of things that could go wrong with a college girl! Or maybe Sophie just needed to stay away from some of those true crime podcasts she had started listening to.ย โOne of these days, youโre going to pull out something you didnโt want to find,โ Sophie teased. Truthfully, she was fine with Maisyโs little habit. Not only did she find it endearing and adorable, but who was she to judge?ย โDonโt worry about falling,โ she looked over at Maisy with a small smile.ย โIโll hold onto you. Actually, in that case, that just means weโll fall down together,โ Sophie may have been an athlete, but she was sure she wouldnโt be the most agile rollerblader. At Maisyโs decree to go, Sophie quickly hopped up to grab her tennis shoes.ย โOkay, but you gotta think big, Mace. At least humor me because I want to say one day that my best friend is a bestseller,โ she laughed, sliding her shoes on and heading to the door.ย โI want the bragging rights.โ
spencer looked down at the other, frowning at the other as she muttered. spencer didnโt care about what she was saying, and he couldnโt help but to keep rolling his eyes as she muttered some words - spencer just wanted to go to bed and get everyone out of the house, but at the otherโs comment, he just shrugged his shoulders.ย โwell, letโs not ruin all of that work with your vomit. now, get out of the house before i have brad carry you out, and trust me, he wonโt be as calm as i am.โ but he spoke too soon, because before he knew it, the other was vomiting all over the floor and his shoes - spencer wanted to throw her against a wall, but instead he just looked up and took a deep breath.ย โoh my fucking godโฆโ he muttered, then looked down at sophie again.ย โyou have gotโฆ to be fucking kidding me. did you not hear a word i just said?! what the fuck? okay, fuck it, youโre not allowed in this fucking house again. and trust me when i say that, i will have a picture of you on the door so everyone makes sure to not let you in here.โ he said, his voice raising now, as he was practically yelling.
๐ฎ
Sophie had really stepped in it this time. She had a few ways to get out this. First, she could just dart off and never return to the house again. Or... she could say fuck the system, fuck this guyโs rule, and just show up to the next Delta party. Wiping her mouth, she knew she probably looked like a wrecked mess. "I donโt really think my stomach heard you,โ she retorted, suddenly feeling much better that the alcohol had left her system. Even if she was sweaty and had remnants of puke on her, she could feel herself returning slightly to normal.ย "I hope you know I donโt give a shit,โ Sophie actually did give a shit, but she thought she could bypass most of what Spencer was saying. She was not opposed to flirting with a random pledge to get in. Or fuck, there were more frats on campus.ย โCan I at least pick out the picture?โ She asked, before slowly backing up. This guy definitely did not seem like someone to mess with and did she slightly fear that heโd punch her if she got closer to him? For sure. She began trotting off to the sidewalk as if she were doing the walk of shame before turning around to look at Spencer one last time. โHave fun cleaning that up, jerk off,โ normally, Sophie would help clean someone up, but he didnโt seem like a dude who deserved her kindness.

location: sophieโs room
maisy and sophie were pretty much attached by the hip and even though their rooms werenโt far apart from each other, maisy would find herself way more often in sophieโs room than in her own. sometimes, she wouldnโt even knock and that was just the case this time. maisy walked in the otherโs room, not bothering to knock as she made her way inside and closed the door behind her, as she looked around the room for the other until her eyes finally laid on her. โoh, there you are. i was starting to wonder if you were dead or something. or you know, just not here.โ she said as she shrugged her shoulders, as she started looking through sophieโs drawers to see if she had gotten new clothes - it was a habit of hers, if she was being honest and not one she was proud of, but she just needed to check everything that was in peopleโs drawers or else she wouldnโt be able to just sit down. โwhat are you doing tonight? i was thinking we could go out and do something. iโm having writerโs block, so iโm starting to think i need to experience more stuff in my life. what are your thoughts on rollerblading?โ she asked, as she finally turned to sophie again.

If there was someone that Sophie could spend all of her time with, itโd be Maisy Rose in a heartbeat. The two had certainly gotten into a habit of coming to each otherโs rooms whenever, so much so that Sophie never even bothered to lock her door. Itโs not like she had valuables anyway! Getting ready in her joint bathroom, she didnโt even hear her door open, and even when she opened her own bathroom door she wasnโt even stunned to see Maisy in her drawers.ย โGod forbid I use the bathroom,โ Sophie laughed, clearly teasing as she made her way to plop on her bed, eyeing Maisyโs actions.ย โFind anything good in there?โ She asked. Another thing Sophie had gotten used to since becoming friends with Maisy was her rummaging through her drawers. Did she understand it? No, but most people didnโt understand why Sophie had to draw a tarot card every morning before she went to class.ย โRollerblading sounds amazing!โ Sophie immediately exclaimed. While rollerblading probably wasnโt an experience by any means, she had no reason to deny Maisy or deny having a fun time.ย โWe might as well just go right now. I canโt have your mind all blocked up. How else are you gonna write a New York Times Bestseller?โ
ย ย ย ย ย her schedule was a little whacky this semester, which meant she was on campus until about 9:30pm, long after everyone else had turned in for the night, or chosen to go out somewhere fun. the walk back to her place from class was usually lonely, save for a couple stragglers from her class. summer was taking a shortcut across one of the grass fields when the sprinkler system suddenly sputtered to life. with a loud shriek - laugh, she ran back to the sidewalk, but not after getting considerably damp from the water thatโd suddenly began shooting across the courtyard. sheโs got a good attitude about it, at least, a bright grin on her face as she ran her fingers through her hair. seems like sheโd gotten lucky enough to have a witness, despite the late hour.ย ย โย โย you didnโt see that. โ
๐ฎ
Even though Sophie lived on campus and was usually able to be in her dorm by nighttime, she had fallen prey to a night class. Specifically, Electronic Cinema Production which was a four hour class at night once a week. It was truly an excruciating class, but she did get to work on a big short film and got assigned to wardrobe and sound design so it seemed like things were looking up for her in class. After getting released a little later from class than usual, thanks to her group meeting after class, she began on her journey back to her dorm. Airpods in, Sophie was truly just trying to get from point A to point B so she could shower, do some homework, and sleep. As she walked along the sidewalk, she barely even noticed Summer until she heard a shriek, causing Sophie to take out her Airpod, semi-fearing someone could be in danger. Luckily, there was no danger other than her sopping ex-girlfriend running in her direction.ย โI didnโt see a thing,โ she fibbed. With a slight smile, Sophie glanced over at the sprinklers.ย โI wonder if I could run through that thing. It looks like a free slip n slide.โ
Oliver had been sitting in his room all day, finishing up some of his school work and messing around with some new equipment heโd just purchased for himself. He was tired, and worn out. Oliver either spent all night and day working on something or he felt completely burnt out, there was never a middle ground. Oliver decided heโd go out and get himself some food, he was starving and there wasnโt much in his place that he felt like eating.ย
After getting ready and walking out the door, Ollie put his headphones and raised the volume as loud as it allowed, keeping his eye on his phone as he walked. Which he soon realized was probably not the best idea when he bumped pretty hard into a person walking in front of him. โOh, shit.โ He cursed, pulling the headphones off his head and letting them hang loosely around his neck. โIโm sorry, I wasnโt paying attention, clearly.โ He chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of his head.ย โYou okay?โ
๐ฎ
Sophie often had a schedule that caused her to run around quite a bit. Taking on film as a major meant that most of her classes werenโt actual classes and instead just working on projects for the next fifteen or so weeks. One of her assignments for her documentary class was to focus on a subject around campus and create a two minute film concerning the topic. Naturally, she had partners for the project but neither of them were able to meet for their B-Roll and they needed the shots ASAP meaning it fell on Sophie to get it all together today.
Lugging around a camera and tripod, Sophie had tried to get some shots of various buildings around campus and the quad. She still felt unsatisfied though. Surely there was something around that would pop out to her. Instead of deconstructing her equipment, she instead just picked up the tripod and began walking from sidewalk to sidewalk in hopes of some kind of Evergreen muse. Her small legs carrying her as fast as she could, she barely noticed Oliver himself as they collided. Sophie managed to hold onto the camera, nothing but the lens cap popping off and rolling to the ground. She certainly did not have thousands of dollars to replace the camera if it did fall.ย โHey, no worries, I was in my own head anyway,โ she admitted, bending down to grab the cap and attach it back to the camera.ย โWhat are those?โ She asked, nodding towards his headphones.ย โI havenโt seen strings attached to headphones in like... years.โ

spencer had a low tolerance for drunk people, but that tolerance only got lower whenever it came to a party in his frat house. it wasnโt his job to get rid of the people who stayed behind after the parties were over, but there he was, trying to get rid of the one person that had stayed behind. he needed to sleep, he had to wake up early the next day to study and this person was just cooperating. spencer grabbed them by the arm as he slowly and patiently started dragging them towards the door.ย โokay, cโmon, letโs get you out of here before i have to someone else whoโs much stronger than me to actually throw you out. and trust me, you donโt want to see what brad is capable of, iโve heard heโsโฆโ he started saying, but then he realized that the person seemed like they were about to throw up all over his shoes. spencer didnโt think that he could move that quickly, but he moved away and then glared at them.ย โare you fucking stupid? were you really just about to throw up all over my shoes? these cost more than your entire closet, what the fuck?โ he asked, looking around for someone who could help him out with this, but it didnโt seem like anyone was around.

Sophie would never admit that she was much of a partier. To her, this was just what college was about! After ending up at Happy Daze with a few friends, they had made their way to Greek Row, already tipsy and buzzed. Once Sophie got there, drinks were being poured her way and she had no problem drinking them. It was safe to say that even after an hour she was sufficiently drunk and showed no signs of stopping even when everyone began to piddle out of the house. Sophie was having a great time! But of course, Spencer had to pull her out and mumble absolute stupidity in her ear. It wasnโt her first time being kicked out of a party or a frat house for that matter, she just hoped she didnโt end up on Delta Psi Betaโs blacklist.ย โThatโs so vapid,โ was all she could mutter out about how his precious shoes costed more than her closet. Frankly, she probably was about to puke, but people puked. It wasnโt that big of a deal.ย โIโm sure the children that slaved over those shoes are really fucking glad I didnโt vom all over them,โ she sputtered out, but it seemed like Sophie had spoken just a bit too soon as she leaned forward to hurl out the poison in her body, some of the puke landing right on Spencerโs shoes. Good for her.ย
As soon as Sophie got back from Mammoth Mountain, she was back in business. Living in a dorm hall was kind of perfect for her. There was the sense of community and she could host tarot nights where sheโd just read cards (for a small fee or customers could chip in a few bucks to the pizza fund). It was usually just Sophie in her own element and the food and drinks certainly enticed people into coming to her room. Sometimes sheโd see people she knew and other times? Itโd be complete randos, but that was a part of the fun! Just as she finished one of the RAโs spread, she glanced around looking for the nest person in line, just to see Alex. She stood up when she saw him and moved in his direction.ย โHey, so cool of you to come out! I was sure youโd still be unpacking,โ she said, bringing him into a small hug. She knew Alex decently enough to know he probably wouldnโt want to be hugged, but Sophie couldnโt help it! She was a hugger!ย โDid you come to get a reading or are you just standing back tonight?โ
maisy was barely in her room these days, mostly because she wanted to avoid cรฉline. but knowing that she was out, she decided to just stay in there for a bit and she was glad that sophie had decided to join her. at least she wouldnโt just be in bed and reading a book until the other arrived. at the otherโs question, maisy raised an eyebrow and tilted her head to the side as she thought about it.ย โi probably did, i think those were pretty much in every kidโs room while growing up. it was kind of impossible not wanting those.โ she said with a small nod, smiling at sophie as she sat on her bed and looked at her.ย โi donโt know what kind of sign it is, and if it is a sign, then the universe is definitely against me and everyone else who got roomed with their exes. it seems like itโs happening to everyone i know.โ she said, shrugging her shoulders slightly.ย โwhat have you been up to this week anyway? i feel like iโve barely seen you.โ she said with a smile.
๐ฎ
Sophie quickly propped herself all the way up at Maisyโs comment.ย โHow could you say that? The universe doesnโt send outย messages that are against you,โ she retorted. Sophie very often had a rose colored view on what went on around her, particularly in terms of what happens to a person. Everything happened for a reason in her eyes, to a certain extend, and rooming with an ex? It surely had to mean something!ย โMaybe you two can finally kiss and make up,โ she pointed out.ย โYou canโt spend your entire life hating someone anyway. Surely it canโt be good for the soul,โ she said, staring at Maisy, narrowing her eyes as if she could look into Maisyโs soul and figure out if it was alright or not.ย โYou know, maybe weโll see a lot of couples get back together!โ Although she hoped Maisy and Celine didnโt fall under that category.ย โMe? Iโve just been skiing, really enjoying the whole outdoors of the trip. Oh! And I gave one of the bartenders a free reading for a seltzer.โ
Sophie didnโt hate Celine Capaldi by any means. Did she stay by her best friend when Celine and Maisy broke up? Of course, but thatโs what best friends did. It would be wrong to not be on her side, but Sophie was also empathetic to Celine. So, theyโd never braid each others hair and talk about their top songs on their Spotify wrapped, but an olive branch could surely be extended. Besides, Sophie didnโt have many options as she sauntered to the hot tub only to find Celine in it. She could have turned away, and maybe she should have, but there had to be enough room for them both. After a day on the slopes, all Sophie wanted was to relax her muscles. She had even changed into a bathing suit and everything! It was too late to turn back now, even when she saw the back of Celineโs head.ย โHey, care if I join?โ She asked, not waiting for a response since she knew it would probably be no. Almost stumbling inside, Sophie sat on one of the seats.ย โItโs pretty... hot.โ
Sophie had deduced pretty quickly that there were only so many things to do in the lodge while they were cooped up. Hang out by the fireplace, try out the indoor pool, or drink at the bar and the first two still had the prospects of drinking so everyone was left up to either be a bore of do shots. Sophie was one who was down for such, but the unfortunate reality? Sophie was still two months out from the big 2-1 and had to think a little more creatively when it came to getting drinks. In came her snagging a bottle of champagne when one of the bartenders went on his break.ย
With a shit eating grin, she practically scampered off with her trophy in hand and a few glasses in her other hand.ย โOh captain, my captain,โ she bemused, running over to Noel with a giggle.ย โLook what I stole!โ She practically said it as if she was proud and she sure as shit was! Fuck corporations, right? Of course that probably meant more when it came to stealing an eyeliner from Walmart and not champagne from the lodge she was staying at.ย
๐๐๐: Sophie Lim & @vedettemediciโโโ
๐๐๐๐: January 29th.
๐๐๐๐๐: Cafe area.
Did being in a blizzard make a person hungrier? Sophie was sure of it as she made her way down to grab lunch although she had grabbed a late breakfast just a couple hours prior. Maybe it was due to boredom, but if there was anyone who was going to get her three meals a day in itโd be Sophie! She had all intentions of just eating alone, but when she spotted Vedette at a table, she immediately beelined over to her.ย โHey girlypop,โ she said with a bright smile as she slid into the seat in front of her.ย โShould I get a matcha?โ She asked, grabbing a menu and staring at it as if she hadnโt ordered the same lunch every day for the last week that theyโd been there, but she always thought that today would be the day sheโd switch it up.ย โOh my god, wait! What am I talking about?โ The menu dropped from her hands as she held both of her hands up, palms facing V.ย โI have to see your ring.โ
Sophie was slightly regretting her choice of coming to Mammoth Mountain. Sure, she was the eternal optimist, but this eternal optimist was used to warm weather and she had not packed to endure a literal blizzard. For the most part, at least she was stuck inside? It seemed like nobody was truly following the stay where you are rule and Sophie was no trend setter. That was how she ended up in Maisyโs room, lying on the bed, and looking up at the ceiling.ย โDid you ever have have those glow in the dark stars on your ceiling when you were a kid? I loved those,โ she beamed, leaning up on the bed, elbows digging into the bed as she looked at her best friend.ย โBy the way, Iโm sorry youโre rooming with Celine, but hey! Maybe this is just a sign from the universe,โ she spoke. She didnโt know what sign, but a sign nonetheless.
