Age: 21

Gender: Female

Looks / face claim: (Hannah Kleit)

Species: Human

Personality: Taught by her father and brother, Sofia is confident. Well she acts it most of the time. In social events she will play the part of the fearsome Mafia Boss' daughter, keeping her head high, her opnions out there (unless required to keep to herself). She is not shy by all means, but she is not as confident as she portrays herself to be. She almost feels like she is acting when in such events. Outside of needing to keep up appearances, Sofia is a lot more relaxed. She is not as confident as people think she is. She will still speak her mind, but more resevered. She doesn't talk that much unless she is nervous and will come out with nervous ramblings. But her quietness is not from being shy, she listens. She listens intently to the world around her, especially of what her father and brother talk about. Sofia can actually be very sarcastic and sassy, and she will not take shit from anyone. But in certain situations she can be shy too.

Likes: Loves to read, singing, cook, the outside / countryside / nature, she likes to draw and paint, tea

Dislikes: Being stuck inside all the time, thunder storms, parties and social events, coffee

Talents: Singing, cooking, art, has a decent shot with a gun and basic hand to hand combat because her family believes she should had some self defense in case

Brief backstory: Sofia was born into a wealthy, decade old Family Mafia group. Her grandfather Giuseppe Romano formed the group which passed onto his son, Sofia's father, Enzo Romano.

Sofia's mother was killed when she was twelve when a rival gang attempted to take down the Romano family. She was shoot in front of the little girl who was hiding under the bed. That image has been with her ever since. Her father and brother and the rest of the family and loyal friends and gang members all sought out their revenge.

The group is still considered to be a risk to attack or just simply wrong in away way, making them one of the most, if not the most, feared in their area. Sofia has also been told to keep up her image, to make the Romano name proud. She has had a less than normal childhood. Her father snd brother are very protective of her and are wary of men they do not trust around her.

Once at 15 she dated a boy who was the son of a loyal friend, but he took advantage of her and tried to rape her. He seemed so sweet to begin with but she soon found out her was driven by the power that he would get if he eventually married her. Luckily for her, the boy didn't do anything much damage as her father has had to had a permanent guard with her since she was taken at the age of 14 by a rival gang who very much regretted that. The guard was outside the room when he heard her screaming for help. The boy managed to get somewhat of what he wanted but was luckily stopped before it went too far. The pain made her scream loud enough over his hand luckily.

Due to be exposed to such a dangerous life as a child lead to her family being very protective. But she also developed major trust issues as a result and csn be uncomfortable around strangers.

Other: Sofia's two middle names come from her family. Aurora was her mother's name and Valantina was her Grandmother's name on her fathers side (Giuseppe's wife) because she was the only other female in the family since the passing of her grandmother so her parents wanted her to have her name as well. Despite who her family is, she is not spoilt, and she does not believe she needs everything and that the world revolves around her even though many people stereotype her as this becusee of the wealth of her family. She is actually very humble in that regard.
