CHARACTER INFORMATION-
Canon Character and Series: Sophie Hatter from Howl's Moving Castle
In-Game Name: Sophie Hatter
Age: 20 (As of September)
Birthday: September 3rd
Gender: Female
Position & Ship: The Winding Way, Seaman (Seamstress, errand-runner, and all-around cleanly-person)
Appearance: Ginger-haired and fair-skinned, blue-green eyes (nothing special), slender and average height. Nothing particularly special, she has the ability to blend into a crowd and not be noticed until she calls attention to herself. Sophie tends to dress like an invalid or old lady, in grays and other sober colors. This is not because she can't make clothes in brighter colors, but grays are what she gravitates towards. that store of fabrics in the hold looks mighty tempting sometimes, if she could just find something that doesn't clash terrible with her red-gold hair. And she finds that the gray helps her when she wants to blend in.
Personality: Sophie is fairly superstitious, believing that, since she is the oldest, she is going to fail anytime now that she's gone out to seek her fortune. She's likes to keep herself busy with work, whether it's cleaning, sewing or some other task. But, for all her diligent work, she can be remarkably strong-headed, extremely stubborn and sometimes acts without thinking first. She has a great drive to accomplish things, but a lack of method at times leads to more work than she first anticipated or had.
She's an absolute wizard with thread--more literally than she knows, in fact. She doesn't know that she has a strong but subtle magical gift that asserts itself when she talks to things--she literally talks life into them. Dresses she makes look like they come from the finest shops, and her hats bring fortune to those that wear them. She likes sewing well enough, but wonders sometimes if she might be cut out for the stage. It's all pretending, after all, isn't it?
She's curiously straight-forward at times, not taking nonsense from people she thinks are being silly. It probably comes from being the eldest of three, and having to stop the fights when mother wasn't around. But it means that she can keep her head, usually, when people are panicking, sorting out something to do, even if it's not always the best thing that could be done. But whne she decides something is to be done, she can be horribly bossy and bully even those who supposedly cannot be bullied into doing what she wants.
Sophie is also terribly nosy, wanting to find things out however she can. Whether it's over-hearing gossip (though she'll never tell any herself) or snooping through the pockets of clothes she's meant to fix, she loves finding things out without anyone else knowing it. This can get her into trouble, especially when she's caught, or she mis-hears something. But, more often than not, it can be of help to her when she's got a puzzle or a problem to solve.
Sophie shies away from men, if they put advances on her, thinking that she is far too plain to be considered pretty. But she hates being pitied, and will try and flee if she thinks someone is, though she'll get terribly embarrassed. Clever banter is one of her loves, though it can often turn into arguing when she's in a strong-willed mood. She loves the arguing too, but you'll never catch her admitting that.
Abilities/Weapons: If she talks life into things, and then asks them to do she wants, they usually do--usually without her realizing that it is her causing it to happen. Other than that, Sophie hasn't got any skills with weapons, other than the usual kicking and biting that tends to go on when three sisters grow up together, though she's rather better at stopping fights than starting them.
How well can your character hack?: Not at all. She sometimes misses putting in the proper encryption keys as well, to lock down her posts securely, when she isn't thinking about it.
Weaknesses: Lots. Mostly that's she's nosy, bossy, appallingly clean, hard-headed, rash and superstitious. And besides all of that, she doesn't think nearly well enough of the good qualities she's got most of the time, believing herself plain and ordinary, despite any evidence to the contrary. And she's a penchant for arguing.
History: The eldest of three sisters, Sophie never felt she was cut out for anything other than running her father's old hat shop in Melior. Her mother died when her middle sister was very young. Her father remarried soon after, but his new wife was very nice, not at all like the wicked step-mothers in stories and soon produced a sister, Martha. Their father was very proud of all three girls, and sent them to fine schools. They were a happy, well-to-do small family and life was good.
But the year Sophie turned eighteen, her father died suddenly, leaving the shop with debts it could not pay from their schooling. Her two younger sisters, Martha and Lettie, were sent off to apprenticeships at the bakery and a witch friend of the family, respectively. Sophie stayed in the hat shop and didn't realize, until her sister pointed it out to her, that their mother was exploiting her sewing skills for the shop. But she didn't know what else to do with herself, believing that she'd fail if she went to seek her fortune. So she cleaned, kept shop and, most importantly, made hats.
Still she dreamed of the sky-ships that went over every day, wishing there was a way to be on one, and knowing there wasn't. Until one day she saw a performance by the crew of the Winding Way while visiting her middle sister in a small town. It was then that she was convinced she had to do something other than rot away in an old shop, making hat after hat that never did anything except for herself. And so she set off to try and join the crew of the Winding Way, whatever it took.
