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.
