Sophie Moore

## Background

### 1981 - 2010: Sophie Moore

Sophia "Sophie" Moore is the only child of Joseph Moore & Ramira Alves. Her mother is an immigrant from the Dominican Republic, later marrying Sophie's father after meeting him through a mutual friend. Her parents were quite conservative, openly stating their prejudiced views towards LGBT individuals. Upon discovering she was attracted to women, Sophie feared coming out to anyone, especially her parents.

After high school, Sophie went on to study at West Point Academy, where she developed a secret romantic relationship with her classmate, Kate Kane. The two often snuck off despite the policy of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" at the time. Shortly after Ring Weekend at the Academy, the two were accused by another cadet that claimed to have caught them in an embrace. The situation was inquired after by commanding officers. Given the option to deny the homosexual allegations, Sophie & Kate decided to tell the truth, feeling optimistic that the school wouldn't kick out their best cadets. But Kate's father Jacob Kane paid the two a visit & told them that West Point would expel both of them no matter what. After this talk, Kate came out as a lesbian to prevent a further investigation & protect Sophie. Kate was then expelled under Don't-Ask-Don't-Tell, thus ending their relationship.

After graduation, she completed her five years of active duty service then opted out to pursue a civilian career. Sophie was debating becoming a cop when The Cataclysm hit the city. Not one to sit idle, she helped any citizen she can find & bringing them to one of the designated safe zone. While out searching for more survivors one day, Sophie ran into a couple of members of the Bowery Town Massive. It was clear Sophie was the better combatant but they had the numbers. But the tide turned when Sophie was saved by none other than Jacob Kane & group of others he had been working with. Sophie stuck with the for the remainder of the Cataclysm, becoming an integral part of the team. When Jacob started his own security organization after the US lifted the No Man's Land order, Sophie was one of the first to join. Sophie also began officially dating fellow Crows agent, Tyler Holt, who she had gotten close with during the Cataclysm.

### 2010 - Present: Sophie Moore

Sophie made an effort to keep Tyler & her social circle in the dark about her orientation & past with Kate Kane. When Kate came around the Crows, Sophie simply acted as they were old friends from their times as cadets. But Sophie struggled with her dual life, going back & forth on living the life where her family would be proud of or the other where she was true to herself. In time, Sophie realized she could not be two separate individuals so she revealed her sexuality & past relationship with Kate to her husband. Their marriage & relationship slowly fell apart as Tyler was upset that Sophie never informed him earlier. Sophie also came out to her parents, even though this led to their estrangement.

Sophie found a shoulder to lean on from Julia Pennyworth, another Crows agent & an ex-girlfriend of Kate. The two had never interacted beyond work, with Sophie mostly keeping her distance as she knew of Julia & Kate's past. With the dissolution of her marriage & Tyler's departure from the team, Jacob had Sophie lead a new Crows strike team, together with Julia. After working side by side for some time, the two began a relationship.
