HAPPIESTPLACEHQ Task 7 - Headcanons

Has been diagnosed with astigmatism at age eleven, and owns a pair of reading glasses, though she no longer knows where they are. Sofia hasn’t used them in years, and never wore them in public, out of fear of being mocked or considered ugly for wearing them.

Is a big fan of opera music, but feels like this affinity of her is weird, old-fashioned or ‘cringe’, so she avoids sharing it with others. Most of her affection for it comes from the old records of her mother singing, the great soprano Bông Lê Hoa, made famous by her roles in La Forza Del Destino, as Leonora, and in La Traviata, as Violetta. Her father had originally paid for her to attend singing classes due to the young girl’s interest in following her mother’s footsteps, but her consistent stage panic prevented her from ever continuing that path.

Her favorite movie ever is, following her old-fashioned, rather unusual tastes, The Adventures of Robin Hood, from 1938. Sofia used to be completely enamored with Maid Marian as portrayed by Olivia de Havilland (possibly her first crush?), and her passion for medieval history can be directly traced to her love for this movie. She even had a short-lived interest in learning archery, which she quickly outgrew when she consistently failed to even fully stretch the training bow.

Sofia is quite fluent in French and has a basic knowledge of German, the latter of which was self-taught in her preparation for her fantasy trip to the Black Forest, where her parents were married. She’s now currently perfecting her German and beginning to learn Bulgarian as well, completely through free internet videos.

Despite her age and smaller build, Sofia can hold her liquor quite well; ever since she was little she was allowed to take a few sips from the Bạch-orchard-produced cider. She has a good ability to distinguish a good quality cider from a cheap or badly made one, and even has some knowledge of wines and their types from listening to her father and her stepmother’s comments on the family’s private reserve.

Even as, herself, isn’t truly interested in the future prospect of having children (she remembered her schoolmates chatting over how many kids they would have in the future, and what their names would be), Sofia does have a very maternal side, and likes interacting with kids. She worked part-time as a nanny to buy her dearly beloved binoculars, though for just a year since she had trouble managing her schedule, what with her studies and her chores back at home. Still, even during recesses in high school, when she sat by the shade of the courtyard tree to sketch birds and leaves, the children from the younger classes would often flock around her and watch as she drew on her sketchbook.
