Race: Human
Gender: Female
Age: 23
Birthday: 22nd of Spring, 496 AV
Birthplace: Sunberth
Appearance: Slender and tall, Sophie comes in at 5'9" and 120 lbs. Somewhat malnourished, as many in Sunberth can claim, she's underweight, but not to the point of being sickly. Her hair is originally brown, but she makes somewhat frequent use of various dyes to give it different shades and highlights. Brown eyes are the centerpiece in what is otherwise a gaunt face. Small lips are given the appearance of fullness with the use of various cosmetics. Somewhat curvy hips accent an otherwise plain frame. Sophie's talent for dance had led to a rather toned abdomen and legs.
Character ConceptSophie is a simple woman with simple goals, the most basic of which is to survive. Living in Sunberth has been no simple task for her, but neither has it been torment, at least as far as she is aware. She carries no visions of changing the city or fighting the status quo, instead contented to dance and entertain the patrons that come to see her. She realizes that making herself beautiful and desirable is the best weapon she has and she works hard to hone that talent fully.
A friendly girl, Sophie isn't distraught by the life she's lived, as it's all she's ever known. Usually in high spirits and always ready for a little fun, she takes pride in performance, both visual and auditory.
When the girl isn't dancing, she can be as clumsy as they come, tripping over her own feet when walking and running about, though when the music starts she is able to bring herself together and at least put on a half decent show. Extremely excitable, Sophie reacts impulsively to situations, even if it isn't the best choice of action. Despite that impulsiveness, she often grows timid during direct confrontation, especially if her initial attempts to take control fail. That does not, however, stop her from talking behind backs and being as passive aggressive as one can be.
She enjoys having attention, but is reluctant to admit it, finding that the false sense of humility is more alluring to those who take an interest in her.
Character History: Pre-CreationHer history is a rather plain one. Born in Sunberth, raised in Sunberth. Her father was a fisherman and her mother raised Sophie as well as took the fish to market that her father was able to bring in. Neither of the two claimed particularly glorious professions, but it put food on the table. Her mother always stressed the importance of never buying anything at listed value, but also made sure that the young girl knew not to make a scene. From a young age it was pounded into her not to make herself noticeable.
That lesson didn't stick at all.
As Sophie grew, she developed a pleasing voice and found that she had a feel for rhythm. She also grew to understand just how easy boys were to manipulate with a sweet smile and a sensual touch. This perfect storm led her to Ruby's Scarlet Sanctum, a perfect locale in which to display her love for the limelight and the skills she was able to offer. She has worked there since she was 17.
She still talks to her parents and sends them money as she's able to help them make ends meet. They would rather she find another profession, but as long as she was happy and living, they couldn't ask for anything else.

He never got a chance to do what he'd planned thanks to him accidentally poisoning himself. The prostitute was able to escape, but not without a newfound distrust. She lived a mostly reclusive existence, sleeping with enough clients to survive, but she couldn't stand the thought of risking herself in public any further.
