[b]Name:[/b] Sophie Blackwell
[b]Gender:[/b] Female
[b]Age:[/b] 26
[b]Sexuality:[/b] Could go either way, though she's not usually one to make advances on her own due to naivete

[b]Personality:[/b] Quick to energy, quick to boredom, Sophie starts every project strong, but like a lightning bolt, her enthusiasm peters out quickly. Around people, she's very friendly and amicable, but her usual disinterested expression makes most strangers hesitant to approach her. Even when she's invested in a project or conversation, her face isn't particularly expressive, and she tends to just look bored. Because she's older than a lot of people she interacts with, she tries to play off a 'big sister' type role, though she usually botches any attempt to properly give advice. She's not very good with words and has more than a few strange speech quirks picked up from anime or just mistranslations due to her not being a native Japanese speaker, and not even knowing english very well either.
[b]Likes:[/b] Coffee, Cigarettes, Working with her hands, Cold weather
[b]Dislikes:[/b] Depression, Darkness, People who act superior to others

[b]Demeanor:[/b] Extremely casual, to the point of seeming disrespectful in Japanese society. She acts like a loner, but tries to always be friendly and hang around people when she can.Unfortunately, she doesn't have any real friends, so this is limited to internet relations.
[b]Fashion Style:[/b] Usually wears bright, fashionable clothes, as long as they're baggy or loose enough to be comfortable. Often seen in shorts no matter the weather, and her clothes are almost always loose and her jackets open since she hates being warm.

[b]Prior History:[/b] Originally from Canada, her family moved to Japan when she was just entering school. However, Sophie barely had a grasp on english and didn't know a word of Japanese. Culture Shock and disorientation drove her into a corner, emotionally, and she struggled for three years in an english speaking school before flat out refusing to go any longer. Her parents struggled, and eventually her mother changed jobs so that she could work from home and put Sophie through a home schooling program at the same time. Her father made more than enough to make ends meet at his job, but he was never home because of that. This ritual continued until she was 18, when her mother passed away due to illness. The family suffered greatly at this loss, but Sophie and her father had never been attached to each other all that much in the first place, so it was decided that nothing would change. Sophie was not a minor anymore, so she could stay home and continue her studies on her own, and her father would continue to work as usual and give her a monthly allowance to feed and clothe herself.
However, the world outside was harsh, and for a sheltered girl who couldn't really speak english or Japanese all that well, it was even more cruel. Sophie created a bubble around herself. She perpetually stayed home and browsed the internet or indulged in anime and games all day, and ate convenience store food for every meal. Her father worked longer hours than he ever had, often staying at a company hotel, and gave her more than enough money, but no attention or support whatsoever. Even when she took up smoking and developed a caffeine habit, it took her father four years to notice, and he never said a word about it.
As one benefit, though, Sophie was nothing if not well-studied, and when she heard about the HVA, she passed the bar, at least the academic one, with flying colors. Her allowance was more than enough to afford whatever she needed to attend the school, and she sets out to start from scratch in a place where maybe she wouldn't be so harshly judged for her background or the way she speaks.

[b]Greatest Dream:[/b] Sophie wants to learn a lot of different languages so that she can communicate with anybody around the world.
[b]Greatest Fear:[/b] Intensely afraid of the dark, to the point where she physically seizes up.
[b]What do they want to do and learn in the Academy?:[/b] Sophie wants to study languages and social studies to help her understand people and communicate clearly.
