Height: 5'6"

Gender: Female

Birthdate: Oct. 25th; Scorpio

Sexuality: Pansexual

Species: Human

Ethnicity: Mixed; White Latina

Nationality: American

Alignment: Young Blood Alliance (Bad)

•She too isn't part of the group yet

Powers/Abilities:

•Unnatural Strength: she won't turn into the Hulk but she can throw heavy objects at long distances when angered.

•Genius - Intellect

•Swordsmanship

•Experienced Combatant

•Rich

•Master Strategist

•Master Manipulator

Appearance: Sophia has her father's midnight blue eyes, but they are almond-shaped like her mother's. She has her father's nose but she doesn't have freckles. She basically resembles her mother in whom she has her head shape and brown hair. Except her skin is a shade lighter than her mother and Sophia's hair goes all the way down her back. She always keeps it in a neat high ponytail and allows a few strands of hair to hang in her face. She wears khaki faux suede overall dress, with a white, short -sleeved turtleneck crop top underneath. Then she wears brown-heeled ankle booties for shoes.

Background: When Sophia was born Vlad didn't have such a strong reaction as he did with Olevia at her birth so he decided not to take too much interest in her. Especially when, strangely, Sophia showed no signs of ghost powers he didn't care too much to train her either. Sophia is always kept out of the loop, which angers her to the max. All she's heard from eavesdropping is that her half-sister is going to Townsville for a mission to join some group. Sophia is extremely envious of her sister and doesn't hide it. They barely have a relationship since Olevia is consistently being watched while she's being neglected. Sophia busts her ass to prove that she is better than her sister and deserves most of the attention. She gets the best grades in school, she gladly attends her mother's "mom and daughter dates," and she follows their rigid schedule without complaint. Yet it still never feels like enough since all eyes are on Olevia. She watches and learns some moves from watching Olevia and their father’s training sessions and does her own research in the paranormal ghost world. She has her mother's determination and refuses to feel bad about herself.

When comes across news about the Young Blood Alliance and their fight against the Vanguard League in Townsville, she immediately is captivated by them. She sees this opportunity to join them, as a way to prove to her parents that she's as good as, if not better than, Olevia. When her sister begins her move to Townsville, Sophia immediately beings to set up her own trip to the same city. She has some difficulty of course with her helicopter mom, but she disguises her trip as a study abroad plan at her school. She had (artificial) documents and letters from "teachers" ready to show her mom, knowing she would ask for them. Then she gave (fake) papers from her parents to her school stating she is transferring to a school in Townsville. Next thing Sophia knew she was scot-free and on the train to Townsville.

She now resides in some apartment and is working hard to find a way to communicate with the Young Blood Alliance. She wants to offer them her skills and wealth. She is willing to do anything to prove that she's better than Olevia even if it means bringing others down in the process.

Sophia's Relatives:

Vlad Masters (Father)

Courtney (Mother)

Olevia Masters (Half-Sister)

Personality: If you looked up brat on the Internet, you'll most definitely see Sophia's face on the first page. This little girl can be downright cruel when given the opportunity; she's ruthless. Now is she a badass? Kind of, she's still young and still learning but her downfall is she underestimates many people. She's good at hiding her personal feelings in front of people, but don't tell her a secret cause she'll use it for blackmail. She's one of those fake people who will charm you but then she'll turn on you at the drop of a dime. Kind of like her father. She can argue with someone on a subject for long periods of time, she's no pushover and struggles to compromise. She's smart and practical. Admittedly she has the potential to be a good leader, her mother runs her own law firm after all, but she's bossy and has much to improve on. Out of the few things that her and her sister have in common is that she too is boujee. Sophia has an explosive temper and can lift heavy objects when in fits of rage just like her mother.

Relationships

•Vlad: He mostly neglected his second daughter's. He knows she exist of course but he leaves Courtney to take care of her. Courtney tries to force a good relationship between the two, but it clearly isn't working. Sophia wants nothing more than to truly please her father. Having her father's eyes consistently following her sister no matter what, eats away at Sophia's ego. She wants to prove she's the best and kisses his ass whenever the chance arises. She really admires her father. It's pretty sad but Sophia has yet to realize that it's pointless to try and win her father's favor.

•Courtney: cares for her daughter, she's the first child she ever gave birth too. However, Sophia feels as though Courtney cares more for Olevia then her. This isn't necessarily true, but Courtney does focus more Olevia since it still bugs her that they don't get along. Courtney just wants to complete this idea of this "happy powerful family." But knowing Courtney, she doesn’t really like when people defy her. She cares for both of her daughters and just has a poor way of sharing her affection. Courtney sometimes can see through her daughters' lies, she's not dumb, but they do manage to get away with things. When Courtney does manage to be genuinely affectionate with Sophia, she feels on top of the world.

•Olevia: at this point it's pretty well established that Sophia envies and loathes her sister. She is determined to beat her, embarrass her, and give a full display on how weak she actually is. Sophia was a big jerk to her sister and was one of the people who made fun of her ecto-acne. At the moment, she doesn't know that her sister is thinking about being a true member of the Vanguard League and Olevia doesn’t know that she's in Townsville at the moment.

•Gigi: Sophia follows Gigi's gossip blog and enjoys learning interesting information about people that she could possibly use against them. Although, Sophia isn’t into cheering, she is impressed by Gigi's physical skills. She also finds the gadgets that she uses very interesting and asks her about them often. Even though she can find Gigi overbearing and very nosey, she does enjoy gossiping about people with her at school. She finds it extremely entertaining making fun of people.

Quotes:

(Fighting against some random do-gooder)

Sophia felt a delightful grin stretch across her face as she watched the weakling cradle his broken arm. She got a slight thrill in their suffering and calmly said, "I show the weak no mercy."

~~~

(Speaking with Gigi at school)

Sophia was completely zoned out as Gigi's not stop talking became nothing but static noise. It never fails to surprise her how long and detailed Gigi's nonstop tangents about people could last. But as she was contemplating walking away from this one-sided conversation, something she said had finally caught Sophia's attention.

"Wait--stop, what did you say?"

"Say about what? The guy who's cheating on his girlfriend? The girl on my squad, who's totally bringing our team down? The gross girl in my Alliance--"

"YES! Yes, Alliance! What Alliance are you referring to?" Sophia cut her off before she could continue

Gigi eyed her suspiciously, especially after she so rudely stopped her mid-sentence. "What do you think I'm referring to?"

Sophia glanced around the room, making sure there were no wandering eyes or listening ears on their conversation. She looked back to Gigi and into her eyes, "The Young Blood Alliance. Are you…with them?"

Gigi smirked, "I might be… Why? Are you interested?"

Sophia smirked back, "Very, interested."

Trivia:

•Sophia is Greek for wisdom (which she often lacks) and skill (which she does have).

•Sophia's zodiac describes her well for the traits of a zodiac are strong-willed, passionate, jealous, and secretive.

•She has a penchant for bad boys/girls like her mom. They easily influence her, which always leads to nothing good.

•Sophia also only carries cash on her

•She speaks fluent Spanish and English. Doesn't know a lick of French.

•She lactose-intolerant

•She is part of the Speech and Debate club at school

•She knows how to play the violin

•Sophia's not really interested in pop culture but she does enjoy watching trashy TV shows like Maury, Jerry Springer, etc. She even enjoys reality shows.

Story:

Perfect

“Father, I managed to make the top 10% at school today!”

Sophia stood eagerly next to a seated Vlad in their grand dinning room. Vlad took a sip of his tea and continued to flip through the newspaper.

“That’s wonderful dear…” he said not looking at her.

Sophia fidgeted from side to side, “Thank you! I was also given the position of team leader for our speech and debate club!”

Her father simply flipped to another page

“We’re going to our first competition next week! Is it possible that you could sign these papers so I can—”

“Did you share this with your mother?” he cut her off harshly

Sophia flinched, “No, I—”

“Then maybe you should. I’m quite busy at the moment.”

He still has yet to look at her. Sophia bowed her head, mumbling a quiet ‘yes, father,’ and walked out of the dinning room.

Red-hot embarrassment encased her entire mind; Sophia basically made a fool out of herself in front of her dad. Not once did he look at her, she must have seemed like some annoying little girl when standing next to him.

I bet Olevia never felt this way. I bet father would have looked at her. The thought made her stop in her tracks.

Olevia.

Perfect Olevia.

Anger joined in with Sophia’s whirlwind of emotions and she continued forward, practically stomping now towards her mother’s office.

She stood in front of her mother’s office and knocked three times. She knew her mother was definitely in there during these hours.

“Mother, it’s me. I need to speak with you.”

She heard her mom give permission through the door and Sophia pushed it open and closed it behind her once she entered.

Courtney sat behind her grand oak desk that held a large computer screen, which blocked her face. Courtney looked around it and smiled at her daughter’s presence.

“Hello, my little Sophia! Come sit!” she pointed at the chair in front of her, which Sophia slowly made her way over to.

Once seated she waited for her mother to close any documents that were open on her screen. When she was finished, she got up from her chair and moved to sit on top of the desk completely facing her daughter.

“So, I’m going to assume this is about school. Did the rankings come in today?”

Sophia nodded.

“And?”

“I made top 10%”

“Oh…” Courtney grimaced,

“Not top 5%?”

Sophia shook her head solemnly, her embarrassment increasing even more.

“Well that’s unacceptable. We’ll just have to push your study time, now won’t

we?” Courtney crossed her arms.

“How did speech and debate go?”

“They appointed me team leader.” Courtney’s face shifted into a smile and she clapped her hands,

“Excellent! That’s the kind of information I like to hear!” Sophia felt herself loosen a bit from the praise she was finally able to receive. It’s not much but it makes her feel a bit better. She allowed herself to smile a little,

“Yes, next week is our first competition so I need to get these papers signed.” Her mother nodded eagerly,

“Of course! Oh, I can’t wait to tell Olevia this! She’ll be so happy that you finally became a leader of a club! Did you know she was the leader of two groups in high school?” Sophia’s smiled completely wiped off her face and she said tensely through gritted teeth.

“No, I didn’t.”

“Yes, our lovely Olevia is so perfect!” Courtney exclaimed.

Yeah, perfect Olevia.
