Personality Evaluation[/color]
Reasonably one could label her the perfect exemplification of what it entails to be ‘cold-hearted’. Calculating, manipulative, intent on satisfying her needs and her needs alone, it isn’t difficult to see that she fits the bill nicely. What remains, whether purposely or otherwise, ignored however in the case of Sophia, are the numerous other qualities – maybe not as glamorous as those aforementioned few – but certainly factors that influence her individuality. For that is what she is, an individual. Unique in her own right and quite mindful of it.
The traits that personify those like her - many locked up - only scratch upon the surface of who she is and even allude to unfair stereotypes and judgments for so long placed upon the shoulders of those with similar opinions and outlooks. Evil for example, though the term is applied far too liberally in such an age, is something she is not. With as good intentions as anyone, it is only a matter of them being used for the right reasons.
Devious and easily jealous, it wouldn’t be considered a stretch for her to seek revenge on anyone who has crossed her. Wrathful and possessive, this could apply to anything that she believes ‘belongs’ to her in any way. Though she would never go so far as to actually harming anyone – she prefers to allow others to get their hands dirty, so to speak – Sophia is normally the brains behind these vengeful operations. Something of a perfectionist, she will remain on the sidelines until everything has been carried out in exact detail. One mistake and prepare for a lengthily scolding. One thing Sophia can’t stand is failure, whether by herself or someone else, being showed up by anyone is one of her largest pet peeves, faithful in her proficiency at seeing things through to the very end with favorable results. It is acknowledged even by herself that she is a sore loser and though she may curse for a good while, Sophia refuses to pout or sulk about it. Whining raises the hairs on the back of her neck. Such childish behaviour is beyond her and able to cause the girl to snap from the sheer frustration of having to listen to it.
One of Sophia's more interesting quirks is the enjoyment and fulfillment she receives from playing ‘cat and mouse’. After discovering someone who can play mind-games as well as she can, it’s only a matter of time before she puts up a challenge. Though this behaviour is mostly reserved for men, it is not out of the ordinary to see her doing the same for other females.
Determined and aggressive, you won’t see her back down very often. Every bit as cold-hearted on the outside, you’ll also find yourself hardpressed to be the audience of her softer, sensitive side unless you’ve been taken into her circle of comrades. Though it isn’t easily noticeable she has a good heart that has just been broken and patched up too many times to function properly. A fallen angel who doesn’t count on her lucky stars anymore, Sophia King is sure to leave a lasting impression.

Family[/color]
Sophia's father was declared missing shortly after her seventeenth birthday, and no evidence has yet been unearthed to suggest his whereabouts. Ashamed of her cowardly mother, the young woman moved out on her own to pursue her own personal endeavors and has - in the past - stated that the family unit is weak and only a cause for distraction and inner turmoil.
-----------------
Fighting Experience[/color]
Sophia has been extenstively trained in the art of Hung Gar Kung fu. It remains one of the most popular fighting systems to emerge out of the southern regions of China. Dating back some 300 years, it was developed, nourished, and flourished as one of the most widely practiced art forms. When describing this particular fighting system, it is said to be power personified with devestating no-nonsense fighting techniques.
She is also familiar with various daggers and throwing knives, although rarely ever makes use of them unless while in severe, life-threatening confrontation. Sophia tends to prefer to use words to neutralize a volatile situation before resorting to physical violence.
General Apperance[/color]
With a heritage as rich as the Kings’, it came as a surprise – albeit not an unpleasant one – that Sophia had inherited none of the stereotypical features associated with any aspect of either of her ethnicities. Instead she conveys something of a romanesque profile, limbs abnormally long, thin and comparable to delicate bone-china liable to shatter into a hundred pieces upon the gentlest of persuasions. Her height, although it adds an air of superiority and regality, has lessened the evidence of feminine curves and steep dips commonly related to young girls her age. Unfortunately this also includes the coveted supple breasts that stand as a prevalent and sought after feature, standing as something of a landmark of womanhood.
Despite her boyish figure however, it would be quite a feat to deny that she has an enviable grace about her. Rhythmical in the way she moves and elegant in every sense of the word, Sophia carries herself in a fashion reminiscent of a queen amongst her humble subjects. Subtle gestures such as the lift of her chin and the perfected frown upon her lips are expressed artistically to demonstrate as much, expressed almost artistically across the haunted pallor of her sharp, dramatic features.
Perhaps her most startling feature, the colour of Sophia’s eyes stand as a metallic inky blue-green so light it appears translucent at a distance, echoing the hue of brittle aquamarine dug from the deepest crevices of the moist underground. Fringed in long, almost ornamental lashes which break like a wave across her cheek, and startling against the ashen colour of her skin, they carry the weight of her emotions within their unreadable depths.
Many people have remarked that her slender nose and rosebud lips resemble that of a porcelain doll’s, eerily flawless in their placement and never giving anything away; such small details are all excruciatingly symmetrical so that staring at her for too long may cause one to wonder whether she’s alive or simply a life-size statue of alabaster and ivory. Sunken, shadowed contours, exquisite bone structure, high sweeping cheekbones and a pointed jaw do well to reflect the sense of aristocracy coursing through her veins, rarely painted or made up in anything more than lotion and a dab of perfume.
Weapons and Possessions[/color]
Carries on her an eleven inch long dagger with a riveted handle and black sheath; commonly referred to as her 'wildcard'. She also has been known to carry a skeleton key and other lockpicking tools - habit that came with spending a short period of time working as an intelligence agent. As for more personal possessions, she treasures only the memories of her father and one of his old rings left behind which she took with her upon leaving home.
