LIKES:

baratijas y chucherías:
Soph loves pretty little trinkets. She's always had a thing for coveting things, especially things that boost the luxury of her voluminous mane. Very similar to birds that steal silver or blue things, as long as its shiny, Soph will do almost anything to claim it.

asimetría:
Soph adores things that do not match, because it is unnatural, and therefore rejected. She surrounds herself with these strange objects or areas, becasue it enhances her balanced beauty. She is glamourous - why not make the fact even more obvious?

teatro:
Soph has quite the "nosy-neighbor" syndrome. She would do anything for a good piece of gossip, and every little secret stays meticulously tucked away somewhere in her noggin. She is ever the drama queen, and has that certain appeal when confiding in someone that attracts them to her.

misterio:
Perhaps because she shrouds herself in it, Soph adores a good puzzle. Always the little detective, nothing deemed worthy to investigate will go unnoticed. Soph prides herself on her ability of figuring things out on the tiniest sliver of information.

orgullo:
Soph can tell when someone is proud of themselves or not. And the more proud they are, the more she tends to respect them and the higher up they'll be placed in her mind. Soph's own pride knows no bounds, however, she seeks no one else's pride but her own.

DISLIKES:

esfuerzo:
Soph can tell when someone is trying to sell themselves up and when they simply are worth her time. And she hates the former category. You either have the charm, or you don't. If you don't, go waste someone else's time. Soph has far better uses for her thoughts and time.

lástima:
Soph knows better than to feel bad for the lesser souls. If they wanted a better life, they have all the means they need to in order to have one. All it takes is a little determination and a plan. And so Soph has no room to pity anyone in her heart, and she especially loathes the self-pity-ers. They are the weakest form of life in her eyes.


ser humilde:
Soph regards the trait of being humble as the worst trait some other can have. Perhaps it is because pride comes so naturally to her. When given the choice to step up and claim recognition for a deed, she will always yearn for the spotlight. There really is no other option.

soledad:
Soph was born in the spotlight. She grew up in the spotlight. To be alone just isn't in her nature. She knows how to handle herself under any circumstance, but when left alone, there's no telling what she has up her sleeve.

responsabilidad:
Soph has no use for owning up to responsibility. Not when it is so deliciously easy to blame someone else. Not that she is ashamed of her actions, but when she finds herself in a sticky situation, Soph always has an excuse or two readily available for usage.

WEAKNESSES:

celos:
Soph is extremely prone to intense bouts of jealousy. Especially when another female is involved. To Soph, everything is a competition. And she will win it. It simple really. There's nothing she isn't good at.

pretensión:
Soph is quite the diva. And, naturally, she is attracted to others who may have diva-ish qualities as well. The more pretense an acquaintance has, the more respect they earn in her book.

adulación:
Soph's appearance is very important to her. And so, when she is complimented on it, her guard tends to drop, if only ever so slightly. Sweet talk in the right conditions might be the only way her impression of a new person might change.

STRENGTHS:

conducir:
Soph ambitions are simple in number but far from being disregarded. Her morals, however twisted and shallow they might be, are held firm by her beliefs and will be accomplished. All that remains is just a matter of time.

persuasión:
There is little Soph isn't able to get when she wants it. Namely, information. Whether its flattery or threats, Soph's methods are effective at pulling free even the deepest, darkest secret. Of course, her looks can't hurt anything either.

sobre-analizar:
The only way Soph knows how to communicate is through deception. When presented with the blatant truth or a simple fact, her mind continually analyzes all angles and possibilities. She just doesn't know when to stop thinking and take something at face value. Everything has a double meaning in her mind.

FEARS:

de qué avergonzarse:
Soph's reputation is the most important thing to her. If she allows a slight to be made on her character, you can bet it is to benefit her in some other cause later on. Because Soph's image is all that matters in her life, if some scandalous secret got out that she was not prepared for, you can bet her reaction would be most murderous to the perpetrator.

de no alcanzar los sueños:
Soph has an incredible focus and an intense drive. To fall short of achieving her dreams would cause her to be extremely disappointed in herself, and disappointment alludes to pity in Soph's view. There is no way she is going to tolerate that.

SECRETS:

maldito:
It has not been determined whether it is real or not, but according to Soph's father's familial legend, Soph has been warned about being influenced by the devil's spirit toward a torturous end. Her mother and father had taken precautions when she was young. Now, it seems only that time will tell.

enamorado de sí mismo:
Soph is quite enamoured with herself, her image, and her reputation. All these things either boost or hinder her mood, and so, naturally, when she looks good she feels good, and vice versa. Obviously this can be used against her advantage, and so Soph hides this secret with all her power.

DREAMS:

convertido en una reina:
Soph's biggest dream is to become enamored with power because of her looks. She knows she is the best, but he wishes to steal away a powerful stallions heart with the flick of an ear. She doesn't want this for the responsibility however. The reward she yearns for is the title and power she'd have claim to.

salirse con la suya:
Soph is not a malicious soul. But there is a bit of bloodlust locked away deep in heart. Perhaps her father's dark hierarchy has finally claimed it's soul. Or perhaps Soph has always been too full of herself to connect with the rest of the world. Either way, Soph wants to push her skills to the limit and get away with murder.

KEY TRAITS:

vano:
Soph is all about her looks. Because the way she looks affects the way she feels. And Soph hates any feeling that isn't perfection. Every part of herself has a specific way it has to be for her to feel the best.

meticuloso:
Every detail must be accounted for and taken care of. Soph's mind is a never-ending list of tasks, all compartmentalized into an exhausting list. Soph's never taken issue with her worries, because obviously every one of them mattered to her at some point and is worth the time it takes to take care of it.

alto espíritu:
Soph does not have a long and slow-simmering temper. Even the smallest comment or change in the atmosphere can set her off, if the conditions are right. Soph is high strung and as intense as a bullet.


predispuesto:
For Soph, everything is based off of first impressions. There is little to no chance of her ever changing her mind about someone or something once it has been made up. If she catches wind of you and decides your not worth her time, you'd best find another life hobby, or else you'll waste away trying to change her impression.

manipulativo:
Soph is a snake in disguise. There is almost nothing she wouldn't do to attain her goals, however selfish or petty they are. Her favorite form of manipulation is words. Relations and feelings are all a simple game of cat and mouse to her.

HISTORY:

Soph was born in the stretch between Heliorne and Calcine Detritus to two lovers who had previously kept it secret. Life for the wild horses in that time was a bit more strenuous than usual, mostly because of the rift that existed between Julio's family and the remainder of the large, weather-hardened herd. Julio's great great grandfather had challenged the dominion and lost, but instead of accepting the fact, he'd sulked and turned away from the herd, taking his lover away and forming his own family-rooted herd by persuading new blood into the herd by persuasion when needed.

Soph's father was the only child of his mother and father, though they'd tried many times to create other siblings for his entertainment as well as the succession of their herd. However, he saw no sense in the feud. Julio fell for Rachelle in the early stages of their youth, first as merely the closest of secret friends. The more desperate and imperative the obvious disapproval of their parents became, the more Katalina and Julio fell for each other. But there was no chance for Julio and Rachelle to run away together - for that had already been done. Julio was quite the rebel, disagreeing with all that was his family's history and legend, but because the line had finally reached its solo member, he was destined to repeat the very fate he hated.

However, he refused to ask Katalina to come away with him. In fact, he decided that it was he whom would leave his family for her. And so he did. At this horror of desertion, Julio's great grandmother cursed his line, shunning him from the luck of the Ruiz'. Julio refused to believe her, and heeded that her words had no merit. And thus, he returned to Katalina's herd, and Soph was born.

In Soph's youth, fate did not smile kindly. Over and over again she would happen upon unfortunate messes, such as a snake pit once, or a near fall from the edge of a volcano the next. And to make matters worse, she was always rebellious. Even if she didn't show it. Warnings and advice was heard but not reciprocated, and Soph was never one to be content with being ignored for being young. In her teen years, she was found to even seek trouble. It was very trying on her parents, and finally, her father passed away, too spent trying to protect Katalina and his little Soph while also work hard to earn his way back to the herd's good graces.

Soph knew she was partially responsible for the thin spreading of her father's cares and his ultimate demise from exhaustion. Katalina knew it too, and died within a year after Julio's death, knowing that without her partner to draw strength from and support, she wouldn't long outlast Soph's constant scrutiny and unhappiness. Ergo, Soph found herself a newly fledged adult and parent-less at the same time. Not again would there ever be a better chance for her to breakaway from her herd, her overshadowing curse and her sketchy history. Soph headed toward the forested wilds of elsewhere, hoping to never return.
