Sophia Avalon

Sophia is Bianca Avalon's little sister, younger by ten months. She was initially a vague entity in Bianca's backstory who existed for the primary reason of hurting Bianca further. Hasn't B been through enough? But through the power of me getting bored, Sophia came into being. Congrats, Fi.

## Appearance

### Simple Appearance

   Sophia has short, curly brown hair, brown eyes, and a medium-dark skin tone.

### Detailed Appearance

Sophia is a little more fun than her older sister. Where Bianca is all practicality, Sophia's loosened up a little. Her hair is the same deep brown as B's, though Sophia's is shorter and curly. The soft curls compliment her thin face and friendly brown eyes. She favors colorful t-shirts and fun patterned socks. She holds herself in a very relaxed, friendly manner.

Sophia is a breath of fresh air within her family dynamic. In contrast to her older sister Bianca, who tends to prioritize practicality and order, Sophia exudes a vibrant, carefree spirit that's both refreshing and endearing. One of the most noticeable features about Sophia is her hair. Like Bianca, she shares the same rich, deep brown hair color, but Sophia's locks are cut shorter and styled in loose, bouncy curls. These curls cascade around her head, framing her face in an effortlessly charming way.

Her face, slender and graceful, perfectly complements her curly hair. Sophia's warm and inviting brown eyes, reminiscent of a cozy autumn afternoon, seem to reflect her lively personality. They sparkle with curiosity and kindness, inviting those around her to engage in her world of fun and spontaneity.

Sophia's wardrobe is a testament to her vivacious spirit. She has an affinity for vibrant, colorful t-shirts that reflect her cheerful disposition. These shirts might feature playful graphics, whimsical illustrations, or witty slogans that often bring a smile to people's faces. Her love for fun doesn't stop at her upper body; her choice of socks is equally expressive. She regularly sports socks adorned with lively patterns, from quirky polka dots to bold stripes, adding a dash of whimsy to her outfit.

In the way she carries herself, Sophia exudes an aura of relaxation and friendliness. She moves with an easy grace, and her body language is open and welcoming, as if she's always ready for a new adventure or a good laugh. Sophia's presence is like a burst of sunshine on a cloudy day, and her warm-hearted nature makes her a joy to be around. Whether it's her infectious laughter, her vibrant style, or her unwavering commitment to enjoying life, Sophia is a beacon of positivity and liveliness in the lives of those fortunate enough to know her.

## Background

### Childhood

Sophia was raised alongside her sister Bianca in a loving home. She was taken to the lab when she was 10 years old and, a year later, Bianca arrived after trying to look for her. Sophia didn't see B for six years.

- two years of unsuccessful lab work, problem was said to be genetic

### Adolescence

#### Reunion with Bianca

*Sophia was sixteen when she met a boy named Spencer Pierce. Spencer was in the med wing for cracked ribs. Sophia was in med to get a glass of water. They hit it off pretty quickly, falling into an easy, light-hearted conversation. Spencer shared his powers and how he'd gotten injured, and he also mentioned Bianca. That hurt a little bit, but Sophia assumed he was talking about a different Bianca. After all, if her sister really were here, she would've seen her by now. She left shortly after that, though she decided she would say hi to Spencer sometime later.*

*It was only a few minutes after leaving the med wing that someone came running at her, someone who just so happened to be Bianca. Her sister looked very different than she had the last time Sophia saw her, but she was undeniably her Bianca. The girls hugged and cried and said hello for the first time in six years.*

*Sophia teased that she knew a guy who would be perfect for Bianca, referring to Spencer, and Bianca said she had a guy that Sophia should go see, also referring to Spencer. They headed back to med, not realizing they were talking about the same guy. Until Bianca realized it, of course, but she didn't say anything aloud.*

*After talking a bit about their sim, Bianca and Spencer asked Sophia about what the years had done to her. Sophia avoided that topic as best she could, not wanting to relive it any more than she absolutely had to. Some more questioning from Bianca, however, led Sophia to explain how she'd had some kind of genetic problem that prevented her from getting powers. The sisters figured out that it was only through the research on Bianca that the scientists were able to work out Sophia's issue. Yay.*

*When Spencer got out of med a week later, Sophia was in a lab. She found Bianca and Spencer in a locked closet together, which turned out to be them playing hide and seek with Kai. Sophia teasingly but with plausible deniability asked if that was all that was going on, which earned her a blush from Bianca. She asked if she could join the game and when Bianca said yes, she hid in one of the air vents with the help of her powers.*

*She came down from the vent when Bianca came looking for her, coming out through an actual vent rather than phasing through. She was still trying to keep her powers hidden from Bianca, after all. The Avalons met up with Spencer on their way toward Kai's room. Spencer was acting off, which Sophia assumed was because of Kai's condition. She suggested they go get some food, which Bianca and Spencer agreed to do.*

*Sophia and Bianca continued to ask what was wrong all the way to the cafeteria, at which point Bianca stopped asking and Sophia went to fetch food. by the time she got back, Spencer was nearly in tears and Bianca was holding his hand across the table. She had many questions but none of them were about to be answered. Rip Sophia.*

*Spencer seemed a little better though, and after some light questions from Bianca, he seemed happy to just talk about the pizza place he used to work at. He also mentioned his car, Rochelle, which Sophia agreed with Bianca was a silly name. Bianca also kept stealing her very pathetic fries, which Sophia was not a fan of. When Spencer left to get some bagels for Kai, Sophia immediately turned to Bianca and started asking about her and Spencer's relationship. As it turned out, there was no relationship and Bianca was just trying to comfort him after he got upset about Kai and his family.*

*Kai was still not doing well, but Sophia was glad to see them. Bianca had been subdued since they'd left the cafeteria and Sophia was almost certain it was because she'd asked about Spencer. That concern left her mind the moment she saw Kai, though, and she didn't worry about Bianca again until her sister literally ran into her. Bianca left the room shortly afterward, which was certainly awkward, and Spencer calling after her didn't make anything better.*

*He asked Sophia what was wrong with Bianca and Sophia admitted it was probably her fault. She also asked him why they had been holding hands. He freaked out a bit at that but said the same thing Bianca had, which only made Sophia feel worse for doubting her. But then Spencer said he liked her and Sophia, who had already suspected exactly that, told him to try his best to get over it. She then left to look for Bianca.*

*After she left Kai's room, almost immediately after, a scientist cornered her and asked where Kai was. After playing dumb didn't work, Sophia insisted that she hadn't seen Kai all day, which the scientist seemed to buy. Good. That gave her time to head back and warn Spencer and Kai. She arrived at the room and started explaining what had happened, only to have Bianca show up a few seconds later. A plan was made, Bianca would take Kai and hide him, and Spencer & Sophia would go chill somewhere else until the danger had passed. Sophia got her cards and she and Spencer decided to play speed to avoid thinking about Bianca and Kai.*

#### *Escape*

*While waiting for Bianca and Kai to be in the clear, Spencer told Sophia a bit more about the sim where he and Bianca had become friends. Sophia was horrified to learn that Bianca had walked quite a distance on a broken ankle. Spencer promised she had been fine, which Sophia could believe, and they tried to just focus on their game.*

*Sophia managed to win three out of the four games before Bianca entered the cafeteria. She was shaking quite a lot and seemed to have lost control of her illusions. That was immediately concerning and, though Bianca didn't say much, Sophia and Spencer realized that Kai was gone. As Bianca started explaining what had happened, Sophia started brainstorming ways to get Kai back. She suggested they go look for him even though Bianca insisted he was gone. She and Spencer went anyway and, to their dismay, they were unable to find Kai.*

*Finally, when it had sunk in that Kai was really, truly gone, Sophia snapped. It was time for action. With Bianca's illusion powers, she was certain that they could escape. It just came down to the right plan. And she was working on one, preferably one that didn't bring her own powers into the picture.*

*She was honestly surprised when Bianca said that she was being foolish and didn't want to be part of this. Sophia pulled her last resort card, literally, by revealing her powers and phasing a card through the table. It wasn't enough and Bianca left. Sophia and Spencer continued trying to brainstorm, but it was going basically nowhere. Spencer asked if he should tell Bianca how he felt about her and Sophia encouraged him to go for it.*

*He came back with the news that Bianca had taken his confession rather well and she was willing to help. Sophia was rather happy about it, because for all her teasing she did genuinely like the two of them together and thought that Spencer would be good for Bianca. They agreed to meet at breakfast the next morning and went their separate ways.*

*When Sophia arrived for the meeting the next morning, she was buzzing with ideas. Her train of thought was derailed almost as soon as she arrived with the announcement that Spencer's hometown was Castorport, a small town not far from Sophia and Bianca's home in Federal Way.*

*After that, Sophia laid out her plan. She and Spencer would be disguised as scientists, courtesy of Bianca's illusions, and pretend like they were taking her to the other facility, at which point they'd rescue Kai. It was as good a plan as any, so Bianca and Spencer agreed to it.*

*At noon, the plan was set in motion. Bianca disguised Sophia and Spencer as scientists and the trio set off. They eventually ran across another scientist, who they managed to convince to direct them to a van. Sophia ended up saying some rather mean things about Bianca, like calling her a brat, to sell the bit. It worked, but she felt bad about it. She apologized as soon as the scientist was out of earshot.*

*Sophia got in the back of the van with Bianca, who almost immediately passed out. That was concerning. She told Spencer to just drive though. Once she made sure that Bianca was still breathing and had a pulse, Sophia switched to a delighted little kid. It was like she'd never been in a car before, which admittedly, she hadn't in years.*

#### *Rescuing Kai*

*Luckily, Bianca woke up before too long. Sophia offered her the passenger seat, which Bianca took after a moment's consideration. This left Sophia to just enjoy the feeling of freedom alone in the back of the van, which she was rather pleased with.*

*Spencer ended up parking in an empty lot while they tried to figure out how to get to the other facility, Atlantis. Sophia took the opportunity to go outside and feel the rain on her face. Spencer and Bianca joined her before too long. Hugs were exchanged and Sophia left to go watch the road. At least, that's what she said. She really just wanted to leave Spencer and Bianca alone.*

*That didn't work out very well, unfortunately, as she spotted a van fairly quickly. At least they were moving again, which was technically a good thing, but Sophia's matchmaker efforts were once again foiled. She decided to take a nap until it was time to break in to the other facility and save Kai.*

*When she woke up, Spencer and Bianca were discussing Spencer's rib injury. Sophia suggested that they could just steal some painkillers for him, which neither of the others seemed to like as an idea very much.*

*Once they arrived at the other facility, it was a very quick in and out. They used the same strategy as they had to leave the first facility and, aside from the news that the scientists were aware of their escape, the plan went off without a hitch. They made their way to a nearby town to pick up food and get directions toward home.*

To be rewritten to exclude any mention of Spencer or Kai. Also, a few weeks after the escape, Sophia and her family moved back to Arizona so the girls could have a bit of a fresh start.
