In Depth Appearance:
Sophia has a rather small frame for such a powerhouse. Standing at only five foot, four inches tall and weighing in at a measly one-hundred forty pounds, she is very lean and toned. Her arms rival those of most high school guys from years of training in mixed martial arts. Her figure is slender with few curves, but with just enough of them to differentiate her from a smaller guy. Locks of long, dark brown-red hair border her face on the rare occasion her hair isn’t pinned up in some fashion and match her equally-dark brown eyes.
On any given day, Sophia may have semi-visible bruised on her forearms from sparring at the local gym. Apart from that, she is free of any easily visible scars. Most prominently however, Sophia has a sleeve tattoo covering the majority of her right arm that she shows off proudly. She normally dresses in whatever is comfortable, usually a pair of jeans, a tank top and her black leather jacket. The occasional time when she’s dressed up, she usually sticks to darker colors to match her hair and eyes.

Personality:
Upon meeting Sophia, most would walk away with a good impression at first. While not outwardly kind or humble, she is respectful of others and will generally act nice to people until given a reason not to. Underneath however, Sophia is quite defensive and easy to provoke. A legendary temper to boot, she doesn’t do well with authority figures or being bossed around, so being in the sorority was a challenge at first. Learning to live under a leader of sorts pushed Sophia to her limit, but ultimately she dealt with it. Those who know her know she hates being insulted and has reacted quite loudly in the past. She’s also known to be a touch manipulative and an occasional compulsive liar.
But, her friends also know that under all of that, there is a loyal and genuinely decent human being. If only you can look past her downsides, Sophia will protect her friends with unwavering loyalty and bravery that could almost be seen as arrogance. She keeps an eye on her fellow sisters like a hawk and will openly confront anyone that messes with them. Driven and determined, Sophia will never back down from a conflict and will remain true to those close to her.
Hometown:
Grew up in Toronto, Canada. Moved to Mississippi after high school.
History:
Sophia was born to an odd couple in Toronto. Her mother, Samantha McLaughlin was a private business owner and had nestled herself in the solar power market out in the more rural areas of the country. Her father? Well, he was almost the exact opposite. James White had spent ten years in prison for assault and armed robbery before he met Samantha, and then he was re-imprisoned for life after Sophia's birth for the murder of her mother.
After the trial and sentencing, it was decided that because Sophia had no relatives that were willing to take her in-- her mother never had a good relationship with her family-- Sophia was put into an orphanage in Toronto. There, she was raised and went to school like most older children. Her background at the orphanage meant she was constantly bullied at school and was a frequent flier to the principal's office, usually because she picked a fight. Sophia was eventually expelled from the school after putting a kid in the hospital and soon after disappeared from the orphanage, travelling down towards the south in search of a new home.
Sophia reached a small town before the border and checked in at a local homeless shelter. The police were called because she was underage and they were about to send her back to Toronto when a young couple came forward, offering to adopt her. After moving in with them, Sophia went back and finished her primary and secondary schooling, gradually pulling up her marks from the hole she had dug them into. She graduated highschool with a moderate 70% average and was surprised to learn that not only had she been accepted to university, she had been accepted into Pennbrooke nonetheless. Inspired by her past, Sophia began studying for her master’s in Criminology in hopes to appease her late birth mother. Maybe she could turn her life around here.
