== Apperance ==
Sophia was at first shown to be a young girl with fair skin, long blonde hair and freckles. For her attire she wore a beige hoddie with a blue shirt and cargo pants. She also wore a pink cat parka during the wonter months. Later when she becomes a teenager living in the Hiltop she cuts her hair slighly shorter and she wore a tank top with combat boots and work gloves. As an adult she wore a short leather jacket with a white dress and black shoes.
== Personality ==
As a child Sophia was like any other kid her age. She was kind, sociable and fun loving having formed a quick bond with Carl Grimes who was off similar age to her. She also had a misguided yet genunine idea of romance becoming Carl's girlfriend even though the two didn't quite understand what that meant. She also was kind and compassionate beleiving that Walkers looked sad despite their loss of humanity. However following the suicide of her mother and the trauma she went through at the prison she entered a state of denial. She began to pretend that Maggie and Glenn were her real parents instead of her adoptive ones to cope with her greif and trauma. She also got angry when Carl called her out on this delusion which caused them to end their relationship, although they still reamained friends.
As a teenager Sophia changed significantly. She was a-lot more strong, no nonsense, determined and independent. (most likely a result of Maggie's influence) She was also brave and daring having fought off Brandon Rose and his friends when they attacked an innocent kid. She even helped defend the Hiltop from the Whisperers assault and was shown to be quite confident in her abilities. Like many of who were changed by the apocalypse Sophia was shown to have become quite hardened not even being fazed by the sight of Gregory being hanged to death. She also finally coped with her mother's death and admitted that she chooses not to remember her mother to avoid the traumatic memories associated with her. 
Ultimately it's revealed that Sophia's greatest fear was being alone. She admonished Maggie when she caught her having an affair with Dante, explaining that she was afriad that Maggie would stop loving Glenn and eventually her as well. As an adult Sophia was shown to be a loving mother and a patient wife with Carl, however she was still as headstrong as ever having called out the fact her adoptive mother was spoling Hershel II to the point he can bring a Walker in the safezone and get away with it. She is also immensely grateful for the world she lives in and the sacrifices made to get it and her love for Carl even thirty years later never ceased.
