Sofie Earwood

Basic
Sofie is a young Atlantean girl with long, flowing, blonde hair, big, bright, & usually cheerful, blue eyes. She tends to have glow about her that is impossible to describe, but tends to lighten the mood whenever she's around. Her smile is contagious, & many regard her as the most beautiful girl they've ever seen. She is tall, thin, & has large breasts, even for an Atlantean girl. (A few centuries before the start of Dragon's Crusade, Atlantis went through a human gene editing phase, dabbling in designer babies, & trying to become genetically perfect. This practice has since become illegal for moral reasons, but the echoes of it are still very prominent in the Atlantean gene pool) She often wears a blue, flower shaped, hair clip on the left side of her head. She is much more than a pretty face, but she does have one. One of the prettiest in fact.

Casual
Sofie usually wears comfortable clothing over fashionable clothing whenever possible. She sort of has 2 forms of casual: One for when she doesn't care at all about looks & is going for pure comfort, & another for when she needs to at least have matching clothes on that are in decent condition.

When at home, either by herself or with close family / friends, she wears whatever is comfortable without regard for its condition or whether it matches her other clothing. As long as it still covers the necessary parts of her body, & fits enough that it is still comfortable, she will wear it. It is not uncommon for her to keep shirts that she has long grown out of because they are comfy. This version of casual can sometimes result in outfits that are very form fitting, & show a lot of mid drift, or in outfits that are the equivalent of a monochrome, old sweatshirt & sweatpants depending on the ambient temperature. She rarely wears shoes, or any kind of foot covering with this level of casual.

When she needs to look at least presentable, but can still be a bit casual, (like if she's going out in public or something) she will usually still go for comfort over anything else, but will make a point to be modest & to wear clothing that matches & is in good condition. She does wear shoes with this level of casual, but tends towards comfortable ones like the rest of her clothing

It is worth noting that no piece of clothing has yet been able to make her look ugly. She is always at least a little bit beautiful even when she's not trying at all, but when she is trying, even just a little bit, she can become absolutely breathtaking.

Formal
When in a formal setting where she needs to dress up, Sofie will actually put effort into looking pretty rather than rely solely on her natural beauty. She used to go all out, & make herself as attractive as possible, but as she matured, she has learned that sometimes it is more polite to put in a bit less effort.

She learned this the hard way when she showed up at her friend Thea's wedding, & ended up outshining every other girl there, including Thea. Sofie was oblivious to this fact until the later that night when Thea sent her an angry holomessage about how She'd ruined her wedding, & stated that if this was how Sofie was going to treat her then they were no longer friends. Sofie panicked & sent a reply message in which she explained that she had no Idea that she could have that effect, & would make an effort to avoid ever doing something like that again. Of course, after talking with Sofie, & seeing that she genuinely had no idea that she had that effect, as she hadn't gone all out like that since she was in the Atlantean equivalent of middle school, & that she was actually willing to let Thea do the same thing to her whenever she got married if it meant that they could still be friends, Thea apologized for the harsh tone of the original message. She also said that it she didn't need to do the same thing to sofie, & that she doubted that she could pull it off anyways.

When at most formal venues, especially weddings & funerals, Sofie now makes a point to avoid going all out, so that she doesn't run into that issue. There are, of course, a few exceptions where she will go all out. These are: dates, her wedding (eventually), & any other formal occasion where completely outshining all of the other girls is not even a little bit rude.

Battle Armor
During battle, & when otherwise working in her official capacity as a Dragon of the Force, Sofie wears her Dragon Suit. This is a modified version of the Mk5 Dragon Suit armor. The rigid parts of her armor are made of pure Daffokarrium, & the flexible parts are made of Daffokarrake. She also wears a dark blue cape made of of blue Endradium, an alloy developed by her best friend, now boyfriend, Jack Endradon specifically for the purpose of being speedster armor. This means it is extremely strong, & extremely light.


 * Rigid parts:
 * shoulder plates
 * neck guard strips
 * back plaiting
 * rib cage side plaiting
 * gauntlets
 * shoes
 * lower leg guards
 * belt segments
 * Flexible parts:
 * Cape (endradium)
 * upper arms
 * upper legs
 * midsection
 * breasts

General
Sofie is unwaveringly kind. She is honest, but never brutally so, humble, except when it relates to her gaming skills or it's clear that she's joking, She is generally cheerful & her mere presence can sometimes cheer people up when they are at a low point. She is never mean (unless she's angry, more on that later) except towards people who have proven to her that they do not deserve her kindness, this is a very hard thing to do, because you basically have to have no redeeming qualities. She is an excellent judge of character, & can generally tell if a person has no redeeming qualities after only a few interactions with them. Usually, when she meets someone who is an all around jerk, she is able to find the good in them, & treats them with the same kindness that she shows everyone else, in an effort to use the sheer weight of her charisma to influence them to be a better person. She is gentle, caring, patient, extremely compassionate, & the kind of person that everyone can't help but like. (That is, of course, not counting those who dislike her for that exact reason)

In her free time, Sofie enjoys exploring nature, & playing with animals, especially her dog.

Anger
Sofie is almost never angry. Occasionally she will get somewhat mad, but she is terrible at insults, & therefore ends up making a fool of herself, so she has gotten good at controlling this purely to avoid embarrassment. Encountering Sofie with even this low level of anger is extremely rare, & she will often go multiple months without ever getting to this point. True anger is even more rare. As of the start of Dragon's Crusade, Sofie has only gotten truly angry 3 times in her entire life. One of which was when some idiots decided to shoot her dog with a toy gun (similar to a beebee gun), causing it to need surgery, & almost killing it outright. It is nearly impossible to get Sofie angry without explicitly trying to do so, but those who have succeeded in getting her to that point never make the same mistake again. When she truly gets angry, she becomes a terrifying force of nature, almost completely unable to control her rage. Those boys who hurt her dog ended up in the hospital, with broken bones, & ruined reputations. Their reputations were ruined because of how good Sofie's reputation was. Everyone knew that it was almost impossible to get her even a little mad, so to get her to the point where she would do something like this, it was obvious that they had to have been basically asking for it. Sofie doesn't have that much experience with rage, so when she does experience it, she doesn't know how to control it, & even those who are not the object of her anger will often be just as scared as those who are.

Battlefield Mindset
general

Sofie is extremely brave, mostly due to the fact that she is absurdly powerful. She is extremely confident in her ability to win practically any fight she finds herself in by raw power alone, but usually decides to use her immense power sparingly in favor of fighting with skill. The only real exceptions to this are opponents who can either match her raw power, which are exceedingly rare, or people who can easily contend with her full power by using clever tactics & skill, not even Jack can contend with the full extent of her abilities, although he can do far better than most.

power use
She only used the full extent of her explosion powers one time, & that was in a secluded solar system where no one was around to get hurt. As of right now, Sofie is an anomaly, her explosion ability is so powerful that an all out fight with someone who could match her on in that category is something that she would avoid at all costs including her own life or even the lives of those she loves, yes, even Jack.

Her size manipulation ability is something she's more willing to use to its fullest extent, because a battle with an equal would only be devastating to a single planet. Therefore, if the planet is uninhabited, & large enough that she can grow to full size without her head going out of the atmosphere, she can be pushed into going all out. So far, only a few people can contend with her at her largest, one of which is Jack who can only compete with her because of his extreme intelligence combined with his speed. Even then, the can only compete because it is basically impossible for her to land a hit on him due to him being microscopic to her when she's that size, & he is smart enough that he can do damage to her despite the size difference. Of course, if Jack didn't give her a couple minutes to grow to full size, he'd be able to take her out very easily by speed alone.

Lethal Force
Sofie will only use lethal force in very specific circumstances. First, she refuses to use lethal force at all on anyone who has not already demonstrated a willingness to kill outside of self defence. Second, if the person is not an immediate threat to her own life or the lives of others she will only use lethal force if they give her no other options. (ie. she can't capture them, or otherwise prevent them from causing further loss of life after escaping her) Lastly, she refuses to be judge, jury, & executioner unless the crime is at least on the level of mass murder / enslavement, & the only way to prevent the person from doing more of that kind of thing is to take their life. The only exception to these rules is if her opponent manages to ignite her rage, in which case, they're basically screwed, because she is FAR more powerful now than she was any of the previous times that she got angry, & that's the understatement of the century.

Beginning
Sofie is the only child of Jacob & Ashlyn Earwood, & heir to the vast Earwood family fortune. Unlike most wealthy children, Sofie is not spoiled. This is mostly due to efforts by her parents to avoid spoiling her. She grew up in a big house in the outermost ring of Atlantis City, specifically, the high end residential section of it, +but often went on vacations to other places in Atlantis.

Meeting Jack
As a kid, she attended the atlantean equivalent of elementary school, where she met her best Friend, & future boyfriend Jack Endradon. They first met on the playground when Sofie noticed Jack playing alone in a corner of the playground. Sofie, being the kind, outgoing girl that she was, decided that she would play with him because nobody else was. When she got close to him, she noticed that he was making the rocks on the ground in front of him float in the air. When she asked how he was doing that he dropped them and acted as if he didn't know what she was talking about. She told him that she saw the rock flying, and that she wanted to know how to do it because she thought it was cool. It took a bit of convincing, but she did eventually get him to tell her how he was doing it. He told her that he was the only person he knew who could do the things he could. Sofie, although she was sad that she couldn't do it, wasn't about to let that get in the way of making a new friend, so she kept talking to him. In her mind, he could be wrong about other people having powers like his, & even if he wasn't, She still felt like he still needed a friend, & he clearly wasn't taking any initiative to make any on his own.

The Omega Field
Later that school year, Atlantis City was hit by an earthquake, & a large bookshelf fell on Sofie. This event would've been the end of her story, but when she noticed the falling bookshelf, her subconscious instincts kicked in, & she stopped the bookshelf mid fall using the Omega Field for the first time in her life. After hearing her scream, Sofie's parents entered the room just in time to see her cowering in fear beneath the bookshelf, which was halfway tipped over, with her hands stretched out towards it instinctually preparing to block it from hitting her even though it wouldn't have helped at all. After a second passed without it hitting her, she looked up & saw that it wasn't moving. It was as if she was holding it up by sheer force of will. Her parents pushed it back into the upright position, & then they picked her up, & made sure she was okay. Needless to say, this gave her a LOT of questions. The next day at school, Jack instantly noticed that something was different about her, but couldn't figure out what it was. When she told him what had happened, he got a bit excited, but didn't seem very surprised. It was more of a "I Knew It!" kind of excitement. He told her that he'd sensed something different about her for a long time, & didn't tell her about it because he had been wrong before & didn't want to get her hopes up.

Complicated love life
As the years passed, Jack & Sofie's friendship grew closer & closer. In the atlantean equivalent of 7th grade, Sofie got her first boyfriend, a boy named Sarmo. Sarmo was a nice boy, but he was not very bright. He also was very shallow, & didn't have much in the way of a complex personality. He was a simple minded boy who thought in simple terms. The only subject that he knew much about at all was sports, & sports were basically the only thing he understood. Despite her love of science, & learning, Sofie tried to put up with Sarmo's lack of understanding of her nerdiness by discussing nerdy stuff with Jack who was actually way more of a nerd than she was, & could sometimes make her feel as lost as Sarmo did when she started rambling about smart stuff.

Eventually, Sarmo began to think that Sofie was cheating on him with Jack because of how much time they spent together. When she tried to explain to him that she & Jack had been friends for basically their entire lives, & that the fact that she was talking to Jack meant that she was able to get the nerdy stuff off her chest so that Sarmo didn't have to deal with it, Sarmo simply said that if she wanted to keep dating him she would have to stop seeing Jack, because he didn't trust her with him. This made Sofie cry, but she promised to try to limit her interaction with Jack, but also made it clear that he was far too close of a friend for her to drop him completely. She then reminded Sarmo that she never complained about him spending time with other girls, so he should be fair to her, & let her spend at least a little time with Jack. Sarmo thought about this for a minute, looked at her, & her pleading eyes. He told her that he didn't mean to make her cry, & against his better judgement, he said that she could hang out with Jack occasionally, as long as she limited her interaction with him.

When she told Jack about Sarmo's accusation of cheating, he was offended (Jack would never knowingly date a girl who already had a boyfriend, & that definitely applied here), & said that he would try to talk to Sarmo & sort this out. Sofie told him that if he was going to do that, she wanted to be there too, just in case he said the wrong thing. (by this point Sofie already had suspicions that Jack wanted to be more than just friends, & he was not great at social interaction) Jack told Sarmo that he would never try to take Sofie away from him, & that even if he did, Sofie is the kind of person who would never cheat on her boyfriend for any reason. Sarmo didn't change his mind, & Jack knew better than to push it. He said that if Sarmo wanted him to spend less time with Sofie, he would cooperate, but he would never stop being her friend, & as her friend, he would always be available to her if she needed him. Jack then turned to Sofie, & told her that if Sarmo could help just as well as he could that it was probably better to turn to Sarmo, because it would bring them closer together & may help fix this misunderstanding all together. Sofie & Sarmo ended up dating for almost a year, but in the end, they broke up because they had just drifted apart. Between her breakup with Sarmo, & the day of the Albom Science Center explosion (ie the day the story of Dragon's crusade begins), She would have five more boyfriends. Two of these relationships would end because of the boy cheating on her while the other three ended for more complex reasons.

When not in a relationship, Sofie would often try to give Jack hints that she liked him too, but as smart as he was, he was completely oblivious to these hints. In 6th grade, Sofie started writing & singing songs in her free time. Despite the fact that everyone who heard her loved her singing voice, she preferred to keep this hoby in private. So much so that most of her friends didn't even know about it. Jack did know that she had the hoby, but had never actually heard her sing.

After her breakup with Sarmo, Sofie started spending time with Jack again. They would sometimes meet up to train with the Omega Field, but usually just hung out. Jack made a habit of backing off whenever she was in a relationship. By her third breakup, Sofie knew for a fact that Jack wanted to be more than just friends, but wanted him to have the courage to ask her out on his own. Instead, he maintained the status quo, even helping her work out issues with her whoever her boyfriend was at the time when necessary rather than trying to present himself as a better option. Her final boyfriend before Jack, a guy named Bob, was much more understanding of her friendship with Jack than any guy she'd dated before mostly because he was already friends with Jack before he met her. Eventually, Bob realized that Sofie's heart belonged to Jack, not him, & handled the situation very maturely. Obviously, since he knew both of them pretty well, he knew that she wasn't cheating on him because neither of them were anywhere close to the kind of person who'd do that. Still, he decided to break up with her so that she could be with Jack as the two were clearly meant for each other. He made her promise to ask Jack out as soon as she could because both of them knew that Jack was completely oblivious to the fact that she was interested in him, & that he was never going to make the first move. Bob would remain close friends with both of them, but it would be awkward for a little while. Bob even came to be one of the few people to know that Jack & Sofie were the heroes Velocity & Giantess after they got their powers.
