Beautiful People: Sophie (#1)
Hi all! Ashley here! Like Kylie did, I'm going to be doing Beautiful People for my character from the Carlie and Sophie book - Sophie!
Sophie is also 16. She's a little more backward than Carlie. She likes to occasionally be left my herself, and always plays by the rules. Carlie tends to bring the best out in her, though - and maybe the worst, too! Sophie keeps Carlie grounded, and Carlie keeps Sophie crazy. It's the best kind of relationship to have!
So, without further ado, meet Sophie!
1) What does your character regret the most in their life? Sophie's parents and she are not the least bit close. In fact, she lives with her big brother, Reilly. Sophie regrets not moving away from her parents sooner --- letting nannies raise her instead of Reilly.
2) What is your character's happiest memory? Most sorrowful memory?
2) What is your character's happiest memory? Most sorrowful memory?
Sophie can remember a day when her brother read to her before she went to bed each night, kissing her and tucking her in. Seeing as her parents never did this, she will never forget it.
Her most sorrowful is the fact that her parents never once took the time to tell them they loved her or tucked her in bed when she was a child. Sophie wanted nothing but to be told she was loved, and it never came from her parents' lips.
3) What majorly gets on your character’s nerves?
3) What majorly gets on your character’s nerves?
Being told what to do. Especially by her big brother. Sure, she lives with him and knows she has to follow his rules, but some of them are just so stupid. Sophie wants to be independent and not told what to do and not to do, so when someone does it...she hates it.
4) Do they act differently when they're around people as opposed to being alone? If so, how?
4) Do they act differently when they're around people as opposed to being alone? If so, how?
She acts differently when she's around Carlie. Other than that, she's pretty much the same around everyone as she is when she's alone. Like I said above, Carlie is the one person in her life that makes Sophie act crazy - and she loves that about her.
5) What are their beliefs and superstitions? (Examples: their religion or lack of one, conspiracy theories, throwing salt, fear of black cats.)

Sophie didn't grow up with any faith in her life, but when she moved in with her big brother, Reilly, he forced her to go to Sunday School and church. Since then, she has accepted Christ and learned to trust in Him.
6) What are their catchphrases, or things they say frequently?
6) What are their catchphrases, or things they say frequently?
I don't know that she has any "catchphrases" but she is none to say whatever pops into her head - even if it isn't always nice. ;)
7) Would they be more prone to facing fears or running from them?
7) Would they be more prone to facing fears or running from them?
She would face them head-on. Despite the fact that she's what most would consider kind-of shy and reserved, she would never let fear keep her from doing something - anything.
8) Do they have a good self image?
8) Do they have a good self image?
She tries to, but like any teenage girl, there's always something that makes her feel insecure and not as good as others around her.
9) Do they turn to people when they're upset, or do they isolate themselves?
9) Do they turn to people when they're upset, or do they isolate themselves?
The only person she would talk to is her big brother, Reilly. She knows he'll understand - especially if it's about their parents. Occasionally, she'll talk to Carlie, she's getting better about that...but it's usually just Reilly.
10) If they were standing next to you would it make you laugh or cry?
I think it would make you laugh. Sure, she's quiet and shy, but....she can also be sarcastic and witty.10) If they were standing next to you would it make you laugh or cry?
Oh, so she's sarcastic? Then I think we'd get along. Nice post! I enjoyed it!

Aw, I feel sad for Sophie having no loving parents, and sounds like she has a mixed relationship with her brother?? If her happy memory is with him but he makes stupid rules. Complex. great! Love complex relationships when I read books. ;) Quite and shy characters are my favourites because I seriously do relate to them a lot.
