» About: The disabled one. The one who brought shame to her wealthy family. Sophie was the shadow in the house of light. The one who couldn't walk, the one who wasn't normal. The curse on the Hunter family. Everything about her looked normal, she just couldn't feel her feet, or move them. Her life had been one long wheel chair ride.  

She had her father's blonde hair and her mother's fair skin. Her eyes were the color of the sea. Her brother sported dark hair and violet eyes, they didn't look alike, but they felt very strongly for each other. Sophie's parents and her brother Raun had successfully managed to brew some vanity in the young girl, but she knew her beauty was of no use. What was the point, if she couldn't even stand... Her family tried hard to never let her feel like she was any lesser than anyone else and she pretended to be happy. But she sensed they were probably embarrassed of her, when they chose to homeschool her. "You'll be better off at home, honey. The other children will never understand how special you are!" Her father had said. She wasn't really upset about it, she had heard from Raun how children ridiculed anyone for being different, having never dealt with such things, she doubted that she would take it well. 

So began a journey of tutor after tutor, while she would throw desperate glances at her brother to get her out of this mess. She enjoyed learning, it was the only thing that made her feel normal, but long hours of being stuck in the house wore her out. Often Raun would personally teach her a thing or two and those were always the best lessons. She was a compassionate girl and often wondered what would be her state had she not been lucky enough to be born in the Hunter family. She was sure, there must be other like her, in poorer families, with lesser privilege and opportunity... 

 Till she was about Thirteen, things weren't as bad, she continued to live on in her little bubble. Occasionally they would go for family trips to their farmhouses and there would be a change in scene, but other than that life was dull, but manageable. 

Once Raun turned eighteen, his life changed and so did hers. He grew busier and busier, her parents often went to big dinners with the faculty of several well known colleges, perhaps to ensure a bright future for their precious first child. Insecurity crept up in Sophie and tightened its claws on her naive heart. She was still young and impulsive and had entered the phase of rebellion. She showed less and less interest in family affairs and grew more and more self-obssesed. She dived head long into books, movies and anime. 

Raun had introduced her to a few games, after which she grew into an avid gamer. As a consolatory thing, her parents transformed a large chunk of the basement into a gaming zone for her. Raun would play with her occasionally, but she usually bested him and had resorted to calling him a useless gamer, he laughed it off and didn't ever sense the acidic note in Sophie's tone. 

Swort Art Online was meant to be Sophie's escape from reality, little had she known she would indeed escape any reality for much longer than she had expected. Her avatar had pink hair and she had sported violet eyes like her brother. She didn't want anyone to recognise her of course, they were a well known family and despite not going to school, almost every kid in the small town knew her face. She had chosen the display name Hunie,  a mix of her name and a play off of what her parents usually called her... 

Link start. 

And she could walk. She raced around the grasslands and marvelled at the NerveGear for making this action so innate and intuitive for her. And then she was transported back to the Town of Beginnings... 

Alas, all the time she spent making that avatar was useless. She saw her face in the mirror and smiled a little. She had expected to feel more regret about being trapped in this game, but she did not. Nor did she feel much fear... This was going to be her very own playground, her personal adventure... She was going to be a new Sophie here.  

 

» Virtues:

Intelligent: Having spent hours and hours honing her knowledge in various things, just to kill time, Sophie is rather smart and knowledgable. Her database includes a large collection of movies and novels, from different parts of the world and so, Sophie is lucky to be multilingual. Her brother, who spent a large sum of time playfully testing her, helped sharpen her problem solving skills. They loved a good old battle of wits. 

Compassionate: Having suffered a decent bit in her life, Sophie is very attuned to the way people feel and act. She can sense discomfort from a mile away and would want to help ease it, just the way most people helped ease hers. She understands what it feels like to be at a disadvantage and wouldn't want anyone else to feel that way. 

Perceptive: Sophie can see small gestures that most others would miss. This is because everytime she interacted with people, she was very observant. It was a rarity to meet someone for long. She is also very conscious of her own behaviour, since she doesn't want to be the cause of trouble, upon introspection she knew, for example when her smile was genuine and when it wasn't and learned to detect this in others, learning to read their intentions and true feelings. 

Trustworthy: Sophie didn't ever need to keep big secrets, but she kept the small ones well. Being something of a shadow in the house, Sophie learned things, like how the maid kept the change sometimes. How her father stole cookies from her cookie jar, despite being told to monitor his sugar. Raun coming back from school early, skipping classes to play with her. No one had to ask her to keep quiet, she just knew when to say what and when not to. 

 

» Flaws:

Vane: This flaw was more like a curse dropped in her lap. She was always told she was beautiful, and one day she started paying a little attention to their praise. Sophie decided to put in more and more effort into keeping herself pretty. She believed at least then the Hunter family would have something to show off... Though she prides herself in her own beauty, she does not ever let anyone else feel bad about their looks and has always tried to encourage a sort of vanity in others too. 

Insecure: Despite it being at odds with her vanity, Sophie is insecure. This is borne out of her being crippled. No matter how much she tries, she knows she isn't normal and she always feels embarrassed about it. She never felt good enough and occasionally this turns into resentment towards the normal people around her. Occasionally she feels like vanishing, just not existing and being all by herself.  

Ungrateful: Sophie is compassionate and often dwells upon the thoughts off the suffering of less privilaged people. However, she feels deprived in such natural way that no amount of time and money spent on her ever made her feel truly grateful. She always felt like she was missing a large fraction of who she was and who she could have been. There is a small part of her that is really angry with the unfairness of life and stops her from seeing all the ways in which she is luckier than so many other people. 

Risk-taker: When she was younger, she'd roll to the edge of the staircase with her wheelchair and just teeter there, till a worried Raun would run and pull her back. Her will to take risks, stems from two things, the first is the feeling of 'nothing much to lose' and the second is her leaning towards attention seeking behaviour. Sophie likes a reminder of the fact that she is in fact loved and that people do care for her...
