## History

### Backstory and Meeting Johann XVIII

Sophia was born in the Koopa Kingdom and likely lived her whole life there. Before Sophia met Johann XVIII, who at the moment was still known by his birthname Nikolaus Johann, she married two other men and ended up divorcing them both. Nikolaus Johann first met Sophia in the Mushroom City Tower when he was sent to the Koopa Kingdom to discuss affairs with them and fell in love with her, and the feeling appeared to be mutual. Nikolaus Johann wanted to marry Sophia, but his uncle and guardian, King Johann XVII, did not approve of it because of her being a divorcée of two men, and likely out of a desire of keeping the bloodline pure. Instead, he made Nikolaus Johann marry his cousin, Gunthilda of the Creeper Kingdom, whom he had a very unhappy marriage because of her unappealing looks and poor manners.

### Marriage to Johann XVIII and death

Johann XVII mysteriously died in 1987, with the cause of death never being identified. Because his uncle was childless, Nikolaus Johann became the new king of the Bohnenkraut Kingdom, choosing to reign under the name Johann XVIII to honour his lineage. As his uncle could not intervene anymore, Johann XVIII divorced Gunthilda and married Sophia. Sophia and Johann XVIII had 5 children, with the oldest four all being allegedly stillborn. Sophia laid the egg containing her fifth child at the Koopa Kingdom while she was taking care of some business. She and Johann chose to name their fifth child Ludwig, already knowing it was male. As told by Johann XVIII on part 1 of "Ludwig's Dilemma", on her way back to the Bohnenkraut Kingdom Sophia met her demise, being murdered by some of Johann XVIII's troops that had gone rogue, with the egg containing Ludwig being stolen and taken to the Koopa Kingdom.

### The horrible truth

Part 2 of "Ludwig's Dilemma" however, reveals that Johann XVIII lied about Sophia's final fate. In reality, Johann XVIII was in cahoots with Lord Fawful Freibrecher and the two of them gave their troops orders to assassinate Sophia and take Ludwig back to the Bohnenkraut Kingdom without her. She and her son were saved by a magikoopa named Reinhold, who found out about their plans and took Sophia and the egg back to the Koopa Kingdom. After explaining what her husband and Fawful were planning, Sophia was horrified at this revelation, and knowing that her first four children had mysteriously disappeared, began connecting the dots and decided that she couldn't leave Ludwig in the Bohnenkraut Kingdom. Sophia asked Reinhold to take her to the Koopa Castle, where she begged King Bowser Koopa II and Princess Peach Toadstool to take her son in and keep him safe from Johann. Bowser and Peach agreed to raise Ludwig as one of their own children, and with sadness, Sophia bid them farewell, knowing she would never see her son again.

### Death

Sophia and Reinhold were captured by Johann's troops, however, and both of them were executed after Sophia refused to give away Ludwig's location. Their bodies were thrown into the Bohnenburg Castle Sewers and were left to rot for seventeen years, where Ludwig found them in an advanced stage of decomposition after being thrown there himself, swearing to avenge his biological mother, which he does by the end of the episode.

## Personality

Sophia was show to very loving and caring, as shown by her wanting Ludwig to live a happy life away from her husband due to the horror of having realized that he most likely had something to do with her previous children's disappearance, which Johann himself later confirms, as he and Fawful had ordered Midbus to kill them.

Despite of being married to Johann XVIII, she was shown to disagree with him and Fawful's plans to eradicate the kingdom's commoners and tourists and most likely was unaware of his true personality until he tried to assassinate her.
