Sophie grew up in Salem, MA, a townie through and through. She grew up in a “perfect” family. Her mother and father would always keep up appearances to make everyone else feel as if they were less than them. Sophie always hated how she grew up, even when she was growing up, although she never showed it. She had always tried to be the perfect daughter, friend, sister, until she couldn’t anymore. Her mother always saw her for her worst, picked at every flaw she had until she couldn’t fight back anymore. Sophie picked up dance and music when she was younger. Her mother wanted her to be a dancer, but instead she would stand in the middle of the floor and hum along to the songs playing. So finally her mother put her in acting lessons and voice lessons, only if she agreed to stay in dance classes as well. As time went on she picked up guitar as well. Sophie grew up extremely in touch with her emotions.  She could never tell you why, but the only time she felt as if she was doing anything right was when she was on a stage or in front of a camera where people could critique her, she felt as if she was perfectly hidden behind them. Making people feel as if they really knew her without her actually having to open up and tell them anything was her specialty.

When she was fifteen her father died of cancer, this sent her whole family into a spiral of not knowing how to keep up appearances or cope. Her mother started drinking, her older brother started hating the world. she rarely saw him after her fathers death. Sophie found herself comforting herself with the eligible boys that would give her attention. She liked the attention, and it was something she found herself to be good at. No one was picking at her flaws, and no one was telling her how sorry they were for her. Despite the family’s appearances being less than great since the death of her father, her mother was still set on being as perfect as possible.

When she was seventeen she found out that she was pregnant, and when she went for the comfort of her family her mother said she would kick her out of the house if she were to go through with the pregnancy. She ended up having an abortion, which is still something she's regretted and hasn't told many people about. She resents her mother for it.

After going off to a local college, and hating it, she went on an audition for a feature film out of the blue and she booked it. She dropped out of college and decided she was going to pursue being an actress. She’s been acting in movies ever since.

Her mother has become "ill”, that’s what the family is telling people, she’s going to start a rehab program because her drinking had gotten out of hand and she was found unconscious outside of her house a week or so ago, and her brother is off pretending he’s not part of the family, so Sophie is stepping up and taking care of her mother for the time being, which is why she’s back in town.

She’s witty and can hold her own in any situation, and as hard as she can she tries for her emotions to not get involved in how she makes her decisions. This doesn’t always turn out in her favor. If she’s friends with you she can always be counted on for a good time, but she can also make you feel like you’re the only person in the room at all times.
