@TheRealSophieFoster

Sophie Elizabeth Foster's RP/Fandom account is @TheRealSophieFoster13

## **Appearance**

Sophie has blonde hair that falls just past her shoulders. Due to her DNA being modeled after alicorns, her eyes are brown with gold flecks, unlike the other blue eyed elves. She has pale skin, and seems to be a bit smaller than her friends.

Sophie has two scars; one on the back of her right hand due to the shot she was given in Exile when she had to fix her abilities, and one on the back of her leg, which she got in Legacy.

Sophie extremely dislikes wearing fancy clothes. But because she manifested as an enhancer in Lodestar, she started dressing more like her friend Biana, which meant lots of fancy clothes. Although she was given the option not to wear gloves in Flashback due to the fake nails Tinker invented for her, Sophie chose to continue wearing them for an extra safety measure.

## **Personality**

Sophie is extremely stubborn, determined, and--well, sometimes (All the time) oblivious. If she wants to know something, she won't stop until she gets the information. She's also rather reckless, which--mixed with her determination--can make for a--disastrous personality. But Sophie is extremely loyal and protective of her friends, even going as far as forgoing the 'right' choice to keep them safe.

Sophie also gets very emotional in high-stress situations. She has a habit of tugging on her 'itchy' eyelashes. Additionally, she also cries (often on her friend's shoulders), feels guilt easily, and gets rather angry at others when she's frustrated.

Sophie can be rather blind to other's feelings, including her own. When she was living in the Forbidden Cities, she could hear everyone's thoughts, including her friends and family members'. She knows that people don't always say what they mean. But Sophie can't hear the thoughts of the elves around her, so now she is caught in the guessing game that is self-doubt.

## **Relationships**

* **HUMAN FAMILY**

Sophie had a very strong relationship with her human family, and still has one with her younger sister. She cried when the time came for her to be separated from them and was depressed for a short time. Her human father is William David Foster (Connor Freeman), her human mother is Emma Iris Foster (Kate Freeman), and her sister is Amy Rose Foster (Natalie Freeman). When Sophie left for the Lost Cities, Washers relocated her human family and wiped all their memories of Sophie so they didn't have to think their daughter died. She used to think her younger sister, Amy, was annoying, but when the time came for her to move to the Lost Cities and have her family's memories erased, she realized she cared for her.

At the end of *Lodestar*, Sophie thought her family might be in danger from the Neverseen, so she visited their new home. She realized that the Neverseen had already been there and had kidnapped her parents, but her sister had successfully hidden from them. Seeing Sophie and hearing her speak returned Amy's memories of Sophie.

In *Nightfall*, Amy came to live with Quinlin and Livvy. She learned about the Lost Cities and became closer to Sophie. Sophie rescued her parents from the Neverseen, and their memories were again wiped by Washers, except for Amy, who was allowed to keep her memories on the condition that she would never mention the Forbidden Cities.

Amy and Sophie don't see each other again until *Legacy* when Mr. Forkle gives both of them a painful memory back. They try to spend time catching up, but are rushed along so they can finish before Amy's parents come back.

* **FITZ (cognate/close friend/former boyfriend/possible love interest)**

Fitz and Sophie first met when he was sent on a mission to find her in the Forbidden Cities and bring her to the Lost Cities, and she has had a crush on him since then. Over time, the two of them grow to become close friends, relying on one another in near-death encounters. In *Neverseen*, they begin training to become Cognates. To do so, the two must put their trust in each other and share any secrets they previously kept to themselves. Fitz is also the only Telepath, besides Mr. Forkle, capable of reading Sophie’s mind. Sophie and Fitz are shown to have a close bond and can telepathically transmit to one another over vast distances.

In *Flashback*, Sophie and Fitz finally admit to their crushes on one another, but they decide to hold off on a relationship until Sophie is ready for one. Their relationship is semi-confirmed by Fitz in *Legacy,* however, the two soon break up over a disagreement. Later on, Fitz apologizes for how he has hurt Sophie, and they decide to remain as just friends, or at least for the time being. It's possible that him and Sophie will no longer be able to be Cognates, as Fitz will always know that Sophie is hiding something from him (her biological mother's identity).

* **KEEFE (close friend/possible love interest)**

Keefe and Sophie first met in the halls of Foxfire. Sophie was heading to the Healing Center and Keefe was ditching class. Since then, the two have been in detention together numerous times. Being an Empath, Keefe can feel Sophie's emotions much stronger than he can feel others', even when he is not in contact with her. Keefe enjoys teasing and jokingly flirting with Sophie at times, even proclaiming himself as "President of the Foster Fan Club."

Instead of calling Sophie by her first name, Keefe frequently calls her by her last name, Foster, as well as often making comments about "Team Foster-Keefe." When the two, along with their friends, run off to join the Black Swan, Keefe opens up to Sophie about his trauma and coping mechanisms, and the two become much closer. Sophie was the first and only person to see Keefe for who he actually is beneath all the jokes.

While staying at Alluveterre, Sophie was there for Keefe, helping him deal with the possibility of losing his mother. At the end of the book, Keefe gifted Sophie with a hand-painted beaded necklace he had originally made for his mother. Keefe joined the Neverseen after that.

Throughout *Lodestar*, Keefe and Sophie had telepathic check-ins every day where Keefe filled Sophie in on any important information regarding the Neverseen. She constantly pleaded with him to leave the organization, but he refused. At the end of the book, during the attack on Lumenaria, Keefe promised Sophie that he would always be there for her.

In the Barnes and Noble Special Edition Short Story of *Nightfall*, Keefe admitted that he had a crush on Sophie. Keefe tried to escape bed rest many times, and he even tried to escape just so he could know if Sophie was safe. He also vowed to always be there for her as a friend until she was "ready for more."

In *Flashback*, Keefe and Sophie grow closer prior to their bonding in the Healing Center where Sophie was admitted. Keefe's feelings towards Sophie was hinted many times, however, she was too oblivious to recognize it, thinking it was merely him teasing for fun.

* **DEX (best friend/adoptive cousin/first kiss/possible love interest)**

Dex is Sophie's first and best friend, as stated in the books, although Biana also considers herself to be Sophie's best friend. Dex cares deeply about Sophie, and he often studies with her for their exams. He was with her when she was kidnapped and was also taken in the first book.

In the earlier books, he strongly disapproved of Sophie associating herself with Fitz and his family, claiming that they are a bunch of distrustful people and often referred to Fitz as "Wonderboy." Although Sophie ignored his warning and later learned that Biana only became friends with her because Alden ordered her to, Dex supported her despite their previous argument.

In *Exile*, Sophie tried to talk to him privately about their kidnapping because she felt that they were the only ones who could understand it. During the conversation, Dex admitted he kept quiet and didn't scream for help so that the kidnappers wouldn't hurt Sophie. When Sophie needed his help opening the gate to the Cliffside pasture, he came and helped despite his reluctance and fear. He was also with Sophie when they found Silveny, one of two alicorns in the world at the time. It is also mentioned that he came around to Havenfield and Sophie often roped him in to help her with her chores, such as washing the various animals at the pastures.

In *Keeper of the Lost Cities*, his ability as a Technopath was revealed and Sophie comforted him about it, often reassuring him that it was a cool ability. In Book 3: *Everblaze*, he began working with the Council and building weapons. When Sophie had been issued a punishment for entering the ogre king's mind, he was ordered to make her an ability restrictor circlet. Although he regretted listening to the Council, it still took time for Sophie to forgive him. When she was ambushed by Brant, he responded to her panic switch ring alert and took her circlet off even though it meant possibly being exiled. He joins her in running off to the Black Swan, showing his loyalty and friendship.

In *Nightfall*, Dex had modified crush cuffs that had his name on them to act as restrainers for her Enhancing. He admitted that he'd had the crush cuffs since the last year when he was too scared to give them to her at midterms; she assured him that it was very sweet. She kissed him to determine if either of them truly had feelings for each other. They did not and they departed as best friends. It confirmed that starting in the first book, Dex has liked Sophie as more than a friend.

As of *Flashback*, Sophie and Dex remain best friends, and Dex has even begun to joke about his previous crush on Sophie, proving that he has moved on.

* **BIANA (close friend/possible love interest)**

Biana disliked Sophie at first, but they eventually grew to be friends. She first became friends with Sophie because her father made her (which Sophie found out via Stina), but as she got to know Sophie, Biana became a genuine friend of hers, even crying when Sophie was taken. Biana has proven herself to be a fierce and loyal friend to Sophie. Biana occasionally lends Sophie clothes, always saying she looks good in them. She has used her Vanishing ability to go on secret missions with Sophie. In *Legacy*, Biana becomes part of Team Valiant with Sophie and is always ready to help Sophie in any way.

* **TAM (good friend/possible love interest)**

Sophie and her friends first met Tam Song and his twin sister Linh in *Neverseen*, when they went to Exillium. When she first described him to her friends, she was initially the only person willing to trust him. Tam is a Shade, meaning he can manipulate shadows and darkness, read people's potential for darkness using a substance called shadowvapor, and may control shadowflux, even though he prefers not to practice it. He will not trust anyone until he has taken a said shadowvapor reading. Upon reading Sophie, he remarked that she has an equal amount of shadowvapor and illumination and that they cancel each other out.

* **LINH (good friend/possible love interest)**

Sophie and Linh have been friends since Sophie helped her in Exillium. They are very loyal to each other, as shown in *Lodestar* when Sophie defended the twins while they confronted their parents. She seems slightly jealous of the admiration Fitz has for Linh. Linh is a Hydrokinetic, which is what caused all the floods that banished her to Exillium. When Sophie became an Enhancer, Linh often put distance between them, fearing that she might flood something again, but in *Nightfall* she used her ability combined with Sophie's Enhancing in order to save Atlantis.

* **MARELLA (friend/possible love interest)**

Marella was one of Sophie’s first friends in the Lost Cities. She and Sophie became friends in *Keeper of the Lost Cities*, but later, when Sophie started hanging out with the Vackers, Keefe, and Dex more, Marella felt left out and started hanging out with Stina. However, in *Lodestar*, Marella had her hidden ability triggered by Mr. Forkle and started spending more time with Sophie as she uses her abilities to help fight the Neverseen. Her family name is Redek, and she dislikes nicknames, telling Sophie in the first book, "My name's Marella. Not Mare. Not Ella. No nicknames." However, in *Nightfall*, Marella was brought back because she manifested as a Pyrokinetic and joined the Black Swan to help Sophie get her human family back. In *Flashback*, Marella helped Sophie and her friends fight off the baby trolls with her powers.

* **EDALINE (adoptive mother)**

Edaline is a sensitive mother when it comes to Sophie being burnt by something, as her first daughter, Jolie, died in a fire. Sophie reminds her of Jolie, as she has said a few times, and that makes it a little painful to look at Sophie sometimes. She had a hard time adjusting to having Sophie in *Keeper of the Lost Cities*, but she eventually sees Sophie as her daughter. Edaline is very protective of Sophie and is overbearing at times to ensure her safety in *Keeper of the Lost Cities*. After Sophie discovered that she and Grady were cancelling her adoption, their relationship was very rocky to the point of Sophie never talking to them and ripping off the Ruewen crest on her cape. When Sophie saw Edaline and Grady in Jolie's old bedroom, she overheard part of their conversation and found it easier to try and forgive them. After Sophie was found and returned she decided to stay with them and become part of the family. Edaline is very supportive of Sophie's decisions and does her best to make sure Sophie is always comforted and safe. She also often can't help but eavesdrop on Sophie and Fitz's conversations and is always a shoulder for Sophie to cry on when times get rough.

* **GRADY (adoptive father)**

Grady is fun, warm, and cheery, but when Sophie is in trouble, he becomes cold and stern. He, like Edaline, had a hard time adjusting to her, but at the end of *Keeper of the Lost Cities*, he welcomed her with open arms. Grady is a Mesmer and Sophie gets nervous when he uses his talent. He is very protective of Sophie, a prominent example being in *Everblaze*, where he went to the length of mesmerizing the Council into smacking their own faces, in an attempt to save Sophie from her punishment for reading the ogre king's mind. (Dex's Ability Restrictor).

* **ORALIE (supporter/Councillor/biological mother)**

Oralie is a Councillor who has constantly supported Sophie since *Keeper of the Lost Cities*. She supports the Black Swan and is sometimes consulted in their decisions. She has helped Sophie with numerous projects, from getting her a visit with Gethen to fixing Exillium. She is one of Sophie's Councillor contacts for Team Valliant. In *Legacy*, Oralie was revealed to be Sophie's biological mother just after helping Sophie "fix" her Enhancing. After Sophie learns this, she gets extremely angry at Oralie for lying to her and avoids her, refusing to even think of Oralie by her name. However, Oralie's cache contains a secret that might be the only way to save Keefe. At the end of Legacy, they agree to work together on opening it.

* **ALDEN (friend/father figure)**

Alden is Fitz and Biana's father. Sophie almost always goes to him with problems and concerns and clues about the Black Swan, but she has kept some things from him, like the Spyball (she was afraid he would confiscate it, taking away her only access to her human family). Alden sent his sons on missions to find Sophie and had received a newspaper article leading him to Sophie. Sophie trusts him and he trusts her. In *Exile*, Alden asked Sophie to be his guide when he performed a memory break on Fintan. Sophie was very upset when Alden's mind was broken and she was determined to find a way to save him.

* **MR. FORKLE (creator/mentor/principal)**

Mr. Forkle was Sophie's next-door neighbor in the Forbidden Cities. He was one of the main Elves involved with tweaking Sophie's DNA and triggered her Telepathy when she was five. He trained her mentally at night so she would be an exceptional Telepath. He became quite involved with Sophie's life after she joined the Black Swan (which is under his guidance). In *Lodestar*, Mr. Forkle died after being stabbed by Gethen in Lumenaria. Despite Sophie's protests, he said, "This is my swan song." He commanded her to live her own life, to not let grief break her, and he asked Keefe to help her. The castle in Lumenaria was destroyed, almost burying him and Councillor Oralie alive. He had told Oralie to "take care of [his] moonlark." When Sophie discovered "Mr. Forkle's" identical twin, she assumed that Mr. Forkle had not perished and had toyed with her emotions. When she learned about the brothers, she understood his decision and planted his tree. In *Neverseen*, he is revealed as both Sir Astin and Magnate Leto. He has confirmed that he officially has five identities as well.

* **SILVENY** **(close friend)**

Silveny is one of the last known living Alicorns. She is a very fun, energetic, free-spirited, and kind soul, and sometimes she behaves as a motherly figure for Sophie. Sophie meets Silveny in Exile while looking for a runaway sasquatch, and Sophie uses her Telepathy to talk to Silveny and encourage Silveny to follow her. Silveny quickly learns to trust Sophie and they become very close friends. Silveny is always there for Sophie and even monitors her dreams sometimes when Sophie is having nightmares.

* **TIERGAN (telepathy mentor)**

Tiergan is very supportive of Sophie's Telepathy training. Despite his dislike for the Vacker family due to Prentice's memory break, he was the first to pair Sophie and Fitz together for Telepathy training because they worked so well together. Sophie calls on Tiergan when she's in need (like when Alden's mind broke) and trusts him with some of her worries. Tiergan was later revealed to be Granite, a leading member of the Black Swan's Collective.

* **SANDOR (bodyguard/friend)**

Sandor is a strong, stubborn goblin who was charged with taking care of Sophie after she was kidnapped. Though he has a prickly exterior, he has a good heart and cares about Sophie. He helps Sophie out during her investigations and does his best to protect her. His voice, according to Sophie, would better suit a bunny rabbit than a goblin bodyguard.

* **CALLA (former friend and supporter) (Deceased)**

Calla was a gnome and a member of the Black Swan and was a part of the team that created Sophie. She taught Sophie how to make Starkflower stew and liked to call Sophie her 'Brave Moonlark'. She was always there to calm Sophie. In *Neverseen*, she willingly became a Panakes tree to provide a cure for a plague affecting the gnomes. Afterwards, Sophie hung out around the tree often and Dex gave Sophie a Panakes perfume to always remember Calla by. Later, Sophie got to know her great-niece, Flori, at Havenfield.

* **JENSI (friend/possible love interest)**

Jensi was the first person at Foxfire to come and talk to Sophie. She likes him, but he doesn't hang out with her a lot because he feels a little left out when she is with the group. Jensi went back to the "drooly boys" and stopped hanging out with the main group eventually. Jensi was later seen at the training that the Exillium Coaches provided for every Lost City citizen, and he was in the Ambi Hemisphere with Sophie, Tam, and Linh.

* **ELLA (comforting stuffed animal)**

Ella is Sophie's beloved Hawaiian shirt-wearing blue stuffed elephant that she brought from the human world. Sophie cannot sleep without the bright blue elephant. Ella comforted Sophie when she had to leave her human family. (This may have led to her friends receiving other stuffed animals, such as Mr Snuggles, Fitz's stuffed dragon, Mrs Stinkbottom, Keefe's stuffed gulon, and Lady Sassyfur, Biana's stuffed yeti, who used to be named Betty-the-Yeti). In *Nightfall* it is mentioned that her sister Amy has a similar favorite toy, a stuffed bunny named Bun-Bun.

* **BRONTE (former frenemy/Councillor/Mentor)**

Bronte seemed to hate **Sophie** throughout the first few books but later became nicer to Sophie and more supportive. He is her Inflicting Mentor. In *Legacy*, Sophie had though Bronte was her biological parent because inflicting was very rare and Bronte was the only other Inflictor. Bronte has very clearly denied this proposition. He is one of Sophie's Councillor contacts for Team Valliant.

* **KENRIC (former friend/Councillor/supporter) (Deceased)**

Kenric was another Councillor who has always been supportive of Sophie. He was also suspected to be Sophie’s biological father, and Mr. Forkle assured her that he was not. He was killed at Oblivimyre when Fintan ignited Everblaze to escape and stop **Sophie** from searching for his memories.

* **ELWIN (physician/supporter/friend)**

Elwin is Foxfire's healer and has saved Sophie's life multiple times. He also loves animal-themed clothing and stuffed animals, and he has frequently given Sophie's friends stuffed animals. Towards the end of *Legacy*, he comforts Sophie when she's feeling upset about what happened to Keefe.
