 Comics Reaching For The Stars: Friendship

Sofia is the former main antagonist and now, one of the supporting characters of Candy Series. She made her debut in Reaching for the Stars: Friendship as the opposing character to Candy JEM. Sofia was described as one of the four 'princesses' of Sacred Hearts Primary School alongside Emilia, Qistina and Zara.

Biography

Early Life

In Sofia's early years, she was a tragically misguided person who only acts the way she does because of her influence from Lily, whom she was once very attached to. In keeping her in line with their tight standards on what being a member of the family entails and also with Pavlovian behavioral conditioning, possibly even combined with mental abuse of some sort. Sofia strongly believed that she should distant herself between her and the less wealthy due to bad influence from her cousin.

Sometime after getting into Sacred Hearts Primary School, Sofia became popular in school for her family's wealth and social status, hence getting a reputation as one of the school's "princesses". Since then, Sofia became close friends with Emilia, Zara and Qistina who are of equal wealth as her.

Appearance

Sofia's full body appearance

Sofia's full appearance

Sofia bears a striking resemblance to her mother. She has cerise eyes and has shoulder-length straight magenta hair (curled in Season 2) with fringes that covers her forehead and part of her eyebrows. She is tall (bearing a height of 146cm[7]) and has a slender figure. Sofia was also known to have hairy legs, as said by Joni when she was compared with Mia in Little Ladies: Courtesy.[8]

Sofia is considered to be rather attractive, as both Richard and his mother commented that she looked like a doll.citation needed

Along with most other characters, she consistently change her clothing occasionally. According to most of her schoolmates, especially Richard, the clothes that she wears are outrageous, but her sense of clothes soon improved after some time and started to wear more modest clothing.

Personality

Sofia is a narcissist; vain, spoilt, bratty and arrogant person. She is considerably short-tempered and even the slightest provocation could trigger her anger. Hence to a point of physically abusing people, noticeably Zara and Qistina; Sofia threw her self-made pencil holder of hers to her two friends when they insisted on befriending Candy JEM, and pulling their hair when they do not agree with her opinion. Sofia lorded her wealth that her family has and tend to disdainfully treat the less wealthy and/or those that she dislike. Lily spoiled the latter and even encouraged and supported her behaviour, which have greatly affected Sofia's psyche, to the point of valuing what her cousin drived into her, noticeably attention, money and pride.

Sofia's jealousy towards Mia

Sofia was once jealous of Mia.

She also bears a rather flamboyant and egoistical nature (a perfect contrast to Mia's composed, shy and well-collected demeanor). As Sofia always wanted all the attention to herself from people at times.

Yes! Sofia is terrible! But she's also sincere with her friends, She may be unkind at times, and her bluntness offends people, but she's honest with her friends and doesn't make empty promises. She acts tough; not many can get close, but she does that to hide her insecurities. But she's so stubborn...unbearable at times![9]
— A description of Sofia's character by Richard.

As time went on, Sofia's arrogance and spoilt nature had subsided (though she still showed them at times) and she became more apologetic to her previous actions –most noticeably towards Zara and Qistina– and tried to make up with them. Sofia showed a more light-hearted and serene side of her, displaying altruistic traits when her classmates tried to dissuade otherwise. She also has a slight or even complete change of heart towards everyone such as Richard and Joni, as she genuinely cared for them despite not really showing it.

Abilities

Intelligence

Sofia on several occasions displayed intelligence in several aspects of life. The most noticeable was when she got between 11th to 20th place in her class, hence showing her to be rather academically inclined.[10] Sofia occasionally showcased her knowledge and quick thinking, noted when she knew a way to treat motion sickness as she applied it on Joni during their flight to Langkawi, and when she gave advice to Joni on how to cure her Hay Fever.

Singing

Sofia displayed her talent in singing ever since her debut, when she sang alongside Zara and Qistina and left the audiences (the classmates) cheered in awe. Sofia seemed to showcase pride in her ability and even grew ambitious, as she, without a hint of pessimism, revealed her dream occupation is to become a singer.

Sofia also expressed knowledge and interest in music, as she was known to acknowledge Mikael's songs and remembering the lyrics and meanings by heart. Sofia even impressed Mikael to a degree of letting him making the decision to replace Joni with her.
