Name: Sophia Bellaray
Nicknames: Phia, Soph, Bench Woman
Age: 21
Race: Human
Culture: Valkian
Appearance:
Sophia stands at a height of 5'4. She has flowing, black hair that falls in soft curls to her waist. Her eyes are a dusty blue-grey, soft and kind. She has a pale complexion that contrasts her dark hair. She is often in a dress, with dainty silver jewelry lining her neck and ears. She also sometimes has her apron with her, from baking.
She's rather gentle and dainty. Her gaze and expression are normally soft, unless you get her going. She often is quiet, but not shy in any way. She loves to talk to people and get to know them. She never meets a stranger. Talking about baking is her passion, and sharing a good laugh can cure any sadness, according to her. When she smiles, she has a dimple in her left cheek.
She is not one to fight. Phia dislikes fighting and especially dislikes when she is involved. She tries her best to stay out of altercations and such, because she is rather weak and kind-hearted. Whenever it comes to a fight, she is rather unprepared. She isn't very good at wielding weapons. However, when it comes to her friends, she is extremely loyal and will try her best to keep them safe. She can get a bit stern.
"My story? Well, it's not fancy tale. I have an older brother, Peter, and a younger brother, Burke. We were the best of friends. My parents were incredible merchants, with stories they used to tell us kids that used to amaze us. My mother, Maire, was also an incredible baker. She was the best baker I ever knew to be in fact.. When she got sick, my world felt like it was falling apart. I hated seeing the way she laid there, unable to do her favorite things. My father. Mirick, always was by her side. The love they had for each other is something I could only hope to find one day. When she passed, our family felt incomplete.."
"Why did I pick up on baking, when I could've been like my brothers and became merchants and talented swordsmen? Well, I was the spitting image of my mother. She was soft, kind, and never once could result to violence. I picked up on baking, even when I was young. I loved to bake with my mother, no matter how exciting my brothers' adventures sounded. She was my idol.. She passed on her recipe books to me, and I will carry them with me forever. I want to make her proud, and carry her legacy on."
"The rest of my story is laying out before me, and I hope I carry myself the way my mother did.. With softness and kindness to everyone."
Norin (Confused): "One of the first people I met here! A nice man, and I hope he gets his land sorted out soon. I could use ingredients."
"Lovely to see you stop by the bakery... I hope you do keep your promise of produce. You also asked for a dance, which I hope you keep your promise of as well."
"You are always there for me, and I'm forever grateful for that."
"Love is such a weird thing, isn't it? You've vowed to protect and love me... I'm not used to it."
"We make a good team, don't we?"
"I don't need to rest, dear.. I am perfectly capable of doing things on my own."
"I don't know if we work together...There's just something not clicking."
"And that was it.."

"Sitting with you at the tavern was.. refreshing. You are a bit hard to read, but I feel something is there... You walked me home.. I hope we continue to talk."
"When meeting you, I never thought we would be building snowmen in a contest and sitting by the fire.. I knew something was there."
