. b a s i c . p r o f i l e .

likes; Drawing, painting, photography, expressing herself, music, singing, writing, reading, gaming, comic books, art fairs, drama clubs, most and all artistic mediums, her extensive family, meeting people that inspire her, and taking walks around the city.
dislikes; Oppression, bitchy girls, art blocks, conflict, alcohol, hurting others, seeing others being hurt, and people who are generally mean and manipulative.
fears; Losing all ability to create and express herself, getting hurt, falling in love.
overall personality; The little Russian girl has a penchant for art that cannot be harnessed. From crayons to cameras, Sophie likes any sort of medium that allows for creative growth and expression. She's the type of person that finds inspiration in the strangest of places, and will take time to stop everything she's doing just so she can draw a person's hand, or record the sound of the wind as it blows past in that particular moment. While Sophie tries to be a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to art, she shines exclusively when it comes to her drawn work. She has a flare for realism, being able to work out the tiniest details in her art. She loves drawing people the most, and makes a tiny, but honest living selling portraits to people that are interested.

Her eccentric nature would lead one to believe that she is an extrovert, though this would not be the case. While she's not quiet, and doesn't keep to herself, Sophie tends to find herself in moments where she will not speak until it is appropriate to. She doesn't waste words, neither does she speak out of turn. When she's around people with high energy, she tends to become energetic herself, and will act in a more outgoing manner. Sophie has an interesting way to look at the world, and will sometimes say things that will seem weird to other people who cannot understand exactly how her mind works.

Sofia is a bit altruistic. She's the type of person that will give you her dinner if you seem like you're hungrier than her, and while noble, it easily opens her up to manipulation and abuse. She's easy to trust people, since it's in her nature to never doubt a person's intentions, and to always assume that they are kind hearted. Mean-natured people are the anomaly in her eye, and will be legitimately surprised if she is witness to cruel behavior. She dislikes conflict and tries to avoid it constantly, whether it be through conceding or walking away from the situation.

She's determined and loves to learn new things. Coming to America was the chance for her to learn many things about American culture, to which she's strived her hardest to understand. Sometimes things can be lost upon her, and she will ask what certain words or phrases mean, in order to further her understanding of something she doesn't have a grasp upon.

The one thing that's very noticeable about her is the fact that she is foreign. Her accent is a dead give away the moment she speaks, showing her to have lived in Russia for a good portion of her life. English, something she has come to master in the past years, will either sound rough or adorable coming from her, seeing as her voice is very timid and unsure most of the time.

history; Sofia was born in Russia and lived there for most of her childhood. Her father was a government worker and her mother was dedicated to raising her one and only child. The woman was an artist in the sense that she had a mind that had an endless well of creativity, though she had no way to express it. Most of Sofia's outlooks and creativity spawn from her mother, to whom she is very close. When Sofia was fourteen years old, her and her mother moved to America, after events that occurred at home that she's very reluctant to speak about. She would only talk abou these events to someone she deeply trusted.

Her mother and her mother had a rough time through most of Sofia's younger adolescence. Either of them were barely able to speak English, and Sofia could barely make her way through school before being forced to drop out in order to help support herself and her mother, working. It was only by chance that she got a scholarship to an art school in LA, after her mother, without Sofia's knowing, sent in a few of her sketches. Sofia didn't want to leave at first, since she didn't want her mother to be left alone; but, Svetlana understood the importance art had upon Sofia's life, and wished for her daughter to persue her dreams in order to make a life for herself in America. Sofia lives alone in LA, with very little friends, and is obviously dedicated to her work. LA has been a blessing to her, since it has offered her a plethora of artistic opportunities, and has opened her eyes to mediums that she didn't even know existed.

The artistic girl is hoping that, with enough practice, she will be able to sell her drawings on a more professional basis, open a gallery, and maybe get into graphic design.
