Sophia has claimed her five acres between the City Core and Uta’s Place. Approximately half her land is on the beach with the other half stretching back into Syka, through the jungle fringes and then into the deeper rainforest. Within the jungle there is a small pool about halfway in, and a stream runs along the back, acting as a boundary of sorts. She has yet to discover either – she doesn’t dare venture too far into the trees at the moment. The beach near the trees is clean, white sand with a few fruit trees popping up here and there. Moving closer to the sea small rocks start to litter the surface, and there are a couple of large boulders near the water’s edge.
Her present housing situation is a large 4-person tent set up on the beach with the opening facing out toward the sea. The tent flaps are rarely closed, save for when she is sleeping, but even then she often does not shutter it, leaving them to flutter in the breeze as the sound is comforting to her – it reminds the young woman of the sails from the ships of her childhood.
The tent is fairly well organized as Sophia does not have many possessions. She has the main center compartment, and then a large ‘room’ off to each side. One of these is where she stores her things and the other contains her bedroll where she sleeps. It is quite sparse, but that is how she likes it, and she can often be found stretched out in the empty middle compartment watching her Tavan, Pearl parade around on the beachfront. She has decorated her tent with strings of beads and shells, evidence of her Svefra heritage.
She has an agreement in place with Randal to build a simple home. There will be a large platform, slightly raised off the beach that will make up the main area of her living quarters. The right side will be one step down and there will be a firepit where Sophia will do her cooking next to a seating area. On the other side is where she will work, and there will also be a small, raised area surrounded by gauzy mosquito nets where she will sleep. The platform will have no walls, and will instead be supported by beams that hold the roof, and a short lip will run around the structure to save people or things falling off. In particularly blustery times she will be able to roll down and tie canvas sides to keep her possessions safe and dry inside.
