Character: Sophia Boten

Sophia Boten



 "I look every day my age, and I'm proud of it."

 Usual Bio

Sophia Boten is very unexpected. Of course, for her age, someone wouldd assume her to be a kindly old grandmother. However, Sophia is very energetic, active, reckless, and loud. She has a rather plump figure. She has grey hair, usually in a bun. She has mixed skin, hazel eyes, a few wrinkles around her face, and a general roundness in her features. She usually wears warm-colored cardigans with white shirts, stretchy jeans, and sturdy flats. She wears round golden glasses. She is very caring and loving, but she's also crazy and dangerous. Her age is a close-kept secret, and almost no one knows except her children. She has very advanced animal magic, and is best with birds.

<font face="Apple Chancery"> <font color="#5c2014">Quirk(s)

<font face="Apple Chancery"><font color="#f5edeb">Sophia has Animal magic, and she is best with birds. She doesn't exactly communicate with them, but can have them do her will, if they're willing. She could force them to do things against their will, but she usually doesn't. This causes her to have a certain place in her heart for animals, and cannot stand those who hurt them without reason. She's actually rather athletic for her age and can hold her own in a battle for a while.

<font face="Apple Chancery"> <font color="#5c2014">Backstory

<font face="Apple Chancery"><font color="#f5edeb">Sophia's parents, April and Alexander Boten, moved to Pakari from Russia a year and a half before Sophia was born. Sophia grew up speaking mostly Russian, with some English becoming more of her usually dialect later on. Sophia always had an eye for the unknown, exploring, and breaking the rules. She was often returned home by authorities after getting into trouble, which her parents became expectant of. They weren't very close to Sophia and drew apart from each other once they both began working, but never divorced or got into anything that would come close. Sophia grew up this way without any more siblings and moved away only a week after she turned 18. She joined [guild, tbd] and worked there, doing the most extreme jobs she could and doing many things. There, she met Johnathon Lark, who was 3 years older. They became extremely close very quickly and married only after 5 months of dating. Sophia settled down slightly when she and Johnathon had children, of which they had three. Abigail was the oldest, followed by Connor 2 years later, then Aria 3 years after. She took back adventuring after Aria reached 8, and would occasionally take her children with her. She never lost her spark, but became a bit suspicious of Johnathon over time. He didn't seem as happy or excited, and it nagged at her. When Abigail was pregnant with her first child, Sophia took matters into her own hands. She started writing anonymous letters to Johnathon posing as another woman, who was somewhat younger than Sophia. Johnathon kept responding to the letters, expressive interest. Sophia slowly became more and more angry with her husband as he kept his writing to the fake woman a secret. One day, she wrote that the woman wanted to meet Johnathon at a local bar. Johnathon accepted, and Sophia waited and watched as Johnathon did, in fact, show up without letting her know and seemingly waiting for someone. Sophia was going to confront him about it very soon, but one day she became drunk and confronted Johnathon earlier than she had meant to, clearly enraged. Johnathon had Mind Magic, and tried to manipulate Sophia into calming down. It worked for a few minutes, but when Sophia realized what had happened she became more angry than before and beat her husband to death. She panicked once she realized what she had done and escaped with any evidence, and ran to authorities, saying someone had murdered Johnathon while she was out. To this day, her actions haunt her and she hasn't told a single soul what she has done. She now has 6 grandchildren, with 2 great-grandchildren the age of 3.

<font face="Apple Chancery"><font color="#f5edeb">Sophia's lineage is very mixed, but consists largely of Russian and some Native American. April and Alexander Boten were very close at first, but grew apart after Sophia was born. Alexander is from Russia and April is from South America and lived in Russia. Both of her parents are very mixed as well. April had no magic, and was a generally strict and hard-working woman. Alexander had Nature magic and was very stoic and plain. Sophia loved Johnathon dearly for a long time before he "cheated" on her. He was adventurous, kind, and funny. Sophia is very close to all of her children. Abigail is a caring and motherly woman with 4 kids, and 2 grandchildren. Her husband's name is Abraham. Connor takes much after his father, but is much more intelligent. He has 2 kids, and his wife Rose sadly died a year ago. Aria is on a rebellious path, looking to break all the rules she can and wanting to explore. She has no children or strong relations.
