Brief Overview: The first impression one gets of Sophia Grace Lock is that she is probably a librarian. She has a very formal dress style. She wears a pure white button up dress shirt, it's long sleeves are occasional rolled up her arms when she is deep into her research. She adorns this snow white shirt with a scarlet red tie. She often wears a dull brown vest over this, which has three stylish black buttons on the bottom half. The vest comes down to a sharp V-shape at her chest. Over this the former teacher wears a tan trench coat, which she is very fond of. The trench coat is lined with a dark brown cloth on the cuffs and collar. The trench coat is surprisingly heavier then it looks, as it is filled with small books, and various scraps of paper with notes scribbled onto them. Some of these books have money shoved inside of them as Sophia believes a book is one of the safest places to store things. Sophia wears a black dress, which goes just past her knees. This dress is as formal as the rest of her dress. Sophia often wears black flats on her feet. Ms. Lock often pulls a large brown suitcase behind her. This suitcase has a silver frame attached to it, this frame also has wheels allowing the eager woman to drag it behind her. The suitcase is chalk full of books, and other reading material as Sophia never wants to be caught without a book.
Ms. Lock has long black hair which falls to her waist. Her bangs are well trimmed, and she has two strands of black hair that fall down the side of her face. Her hair is often messy which alludes to distaste for physical appearance. Although she believes it's important, she keeps it at a low priority compared to other things, such as reading. She often uses her formal clothing to make up for her messy appearance. Sophia's soft face comes down into a rounded v-shape. Sophia has large crystal blue eyes, which always seem to shine with joy. Ms. Lock has soft and gentle skin, although she has a habit of blushing when ever she is excited or embarrassed, and because of her vast love of books its fairly common to see her cheeks a bright red. Sophia's face is finished off with a small button nose, and thin lips which always seem to be smiling. The bibliophile often wears large dorky looking dark blue glasses. Which can often look black in the right lighting. The frames of these glasses are made from a very durable steel, and are extremely hard to break. The glasses originally did not belong to Sophia, as such they are a little to big for her face. Because of this she can often be seen pushing them up by the sides.
Sophia's speech pattern is noticeably different then the average person. It is often described as proper, and her speech is very crisp and clean. A few noticeable changes is that she pronounce her 'T's fairly hardly, compared to the soft lazily sound that most other people make. Ms. Lock often fails to pronunciate the r if it as at the end of a word, in which case she replaces it with an h sound. She also pronounces the suffix ing with a noticeable G, unlike most other people who use more of an een sound. In short her accents is very comparable to what many denizens of earth know as a British accent. [/left][/size]

The All Seeing Eye
This leather bound book is roughly a few thousand pages long. The worlds 'The All Seeing Eye' have been engraved on the side of the book. Above these worlds is a small circle, with a dot in center. This symbol is also engraved in gold. The book contains the history of Léon Alphonse de Chevalier, Sophia's home world. The book has been magically enhanced by her father to withstand even the most powerful of attacks. Which means that Sophia can use the All Seeing Eye as a shield to defend her self is she chooses
Overview: Sophia is a lover of books, and is best described as a bibliophile. She is often found with her nose in some book or another. Her favorite books are cheesy romance novels, and historical books. She enjoys the romance novels because she loves to see happy endings, and she finds the past to be extremely fascinating. Some people call her obsession with books to be disgusting. Her love of books is so strong that if she was given the choice to save the last book in the world, or a drowning child she would have to think about it. Sophia believes that the answer for anything can be found in a book, and she often finds her self quoting various books. Her small apartment in Traverse Town is filled to the brim with various books that she bought in the town. Furthermore Sophia believes the safest place in the world is a book, as such she even uses it to store munny, and other important documents. However her love of books is also her greatest bane, as she uses them to escape from the real world when she is feeling uncomfortable. Often when she is given a choice she doesn't want to make she will turn to books, and make her decisions on the morales of the main characters.
Because of her escapism, Sophia is fairly immature for her age. She often comes across very childish and silly. Ms. Lock is often fairly upbeat, as she believes everything will always end well. Even if it doesn't she still thinks there is a redeeming light to everything. Along with this she often wastes her money on things she doesn't need, such as books. Although beneath this silly and upbeat exterior is a very serious, and intelligent woman. Her love of books has also gifted her with a love of the higher education, and she often spends her time simply reading. Which only adds to her vast knowledge.
Ms. Lock falls short in the romance department. She is oblivious of both her own emotions and others emotions. When she is able to identify her own emotions she often fails at flirting, as she has little to no experience with it. Most of the time Sophia will never pick up on someone else's romantic emotions, which leaves her blissfully unaware of peoples interests in her. Because of this oblivious nature she hasn't identified her own sexuality. She only claims to be straight because thats the accepted norm for women her age. However she has shown interest in other women in the past, and seems to take a liking to them far faster then men. Which leads many people to think she is a lesbian. Despite her oblivious nature Sophia would much rather have a real romance in her life, then one in the books. She believes that no matter what true love will prevail, and that good people will get their own happy life.
Her skewed thoughts on life come from her reading one to many romance novels. She has become to believe that everyone is the main character in their own story. And that no matter what the good guys will always get their own happy ending. Even though she has been proven wrong many times in the past, she still holds onto her beliefs. As she hopes that she will get her own happy ending.
Oddly enough Sophia's favorite food is the leek. She finds the strong onion flavor to be rather refreshing and crisp. She is also a fan of strawberries. As much as she loves both strawberries and leeks she absolutely hates them together. Over all Ms. Lock has a huge sweet tooth this also includes various cakes, cookies, and muffins as she is never shy around the sweat food. She can often be seen with some kind of piece of sweet or candy in her mouth. However Sophia absolutely hates sour, bitter, and spicy foods. She finds them to be rather painful, and distasteful. As such she often avoids them at all costs.

Homeworld: Léon Alphonse de Chevalier
Overview: Sophia was born on the small world of Léon Alphonse de Chevalier. Ms. Lock's home world is a little odd compared to other worlds. The entire world was within a single building. The windowless building was comparable in size to that of the Empire State building. Léon Alphonse de Chevalier was lighted by small orbs that floated through out it's corridor, each orb was like a tiny sun. The building was nothing but a giant library, filled to the brim with the worlds rarest books. It was among these books that Sophia was born. Since a young age Sophia was taught to respect and treasure the books. By the age of three Sophia was able to read, which is three to four years earlier then the average child.
Sophia's home world didn't make a good place for running around and playing. As such she quickly bonded with the books in Léon Alphonse de Chevalier. She became an avid reader, and often spent her days reading book after book in the library. Although this didn't prevent her from finding friends. Since a young age she bonded with two of the few children within Léon Alphonse de Chevalier. The first person she bonded with was Maria Loxley, a sassy girl who never took no for an answer. Maria had a mentally ill little sister named Cassandra, however for most of her childhood Sophia spent little to no time around Cassandra. The second person was a boy known as Donnie. He was a few years older then Maria and Sophia, but he was also a lover of books. The three often spent their days reading together or playing some kind of intellectual game. For a time they where happy, but Maria always seemed to want more. She always wanted to know what was outside of Léon Alphonse de Chevalier. This occasionally caused tension between the three, as both Donnie and Sophia where content with their home.
As the trio entered their teenage years trouble started to brew. Both Donnie and Maria fell for Sophia, however the bibliophile was fairly oblivious to this. The two would often compete for her attention. Sophia, who wasn't really interesting in any kind of romance at the time, kept to her books while the two bickered over her.
During a lonely summer a new person arrived to Léon Alphonse de Chevalier. Her name was Angela De Graff. She was a famous writer who traveled the universe searching for the inspiration for her next book. Angela was sixteen, two years younger then Sophia. Despite her age she was well respected by most book lovers. Angela, seeing the wondrous library of Léon Alphonse de Chevalier, decided to stay within it's walls. Sophia and Angela quickly bonded, and Ms. Lock began to spend more time with Angela then her two child hood friends. While this happened Donnie and Angela grew irritated with Sophia that she would just leave them.
In her early twenties Sophia dedicated her time to study magic, and to become a teacher. She always had a love of the higher education, and she felt honored to teach the younger crowd what she knew. By the age of twenty-four Sophia had a degree in teaching from the illustrious University of Léon Alphonse de Chevalier. Sophia embraced teaching, and was very successful in her career.
Although her peaceful life was interrupted at the age of twenty-seven. Heartless found Léon Alphonse de Chevalier, and where hell bent on taking it for them selves. Luckily Sophia's home boasted a wide vast amount of mages amongst its ranks. As such Léon Alphonse de Chevalier was able to hold off against the hoards of Heartless. But they where losing. Those that couldn't wield magic took to the books, trying to find a way to repel the Heartless. In the end they discovered legends of a key, a key that could lock away the heart of the world. Seeing this as their only hope the people of Léon Alphonse de Chevalier started a mission to find the keybearer of legends.
Both Donnie and Maria volunteered for the mission. Seeing her best friends risking their lives to save Léon Alphonse de Chevalier, Sophia couldn't help but go along with them. The only way off the world was a lone gummi ship that Angela arrived in. The woman offered her piloting services to aid the mission's crew. With that the four of them set off to the stars to find the keyblade.
While exploring a world, a world of vast jungles, the group was attacked by a hoard of heartless. The group had trouble repelling the first assault, and in the end Maria's life was claimed by the heartless. As she was dying she made Sophia promise that she would look after Cassandra. The trio left Maria's body behind, unable to carry it with the hoard of heartless chasing them. They tried to make it back to the Gummi Ship, however thy where cut off by more heartless. Sophia and Donnie desperately tried to repel the group with their magic. But in the they fell. Donnie died fighting the second wave, however his death allowed Angela and Sophia to escape. The two of them hid on the jungle world for a few days. The pair noticed the world was crumbling, and before they knew it the world was gone. Swallowed by the darkness.
A few hours later Sophia awoke in a strange town. She had no idea how she got there, or even where she was. The woman wandered the town, but no one even seemed to know of Léon Alphonse de Chevalier or Angela. They only could only tell her stories of their home world, and it's gruesome destruction at the hands of the heartless. Although some people had different stories. Stories about a kid with spiky brown hair that wielded a magic key. Sophia's heart skipped a beat when she heard them talk about a keybearer, the savior of worlds. So Sophia set out to explore the town, which she soon learned was Traverse Town, to find this so called keybearer. All the while she was looking for her lost friend, Angela.
With no way off Traverse Town, Sophia ended up getting a job at a small store in the town. She also found her self an apartment, which she soon filled with books. Even though she settled down on this new world, she still hasn't give up on her goals. Every day she looks for both the Keybearer and Angela. Hoping that she will find either of them.

Roleplay Sample:
Hearing the not so mighty roar issued by Sentenza's stomach, Sophia giggled. She thought it was kinda funny. The woman pointed down the hallway. "The kitchen is down there, to the left." Sophia said, she figured she could be a good hostess. "Although there isn't much there. Just some snacks, and books..." Sophia trailed off. The woman thought about what was in her refrigerator. Aside from a half eaten slice of cake, and some strawberries there was almost nothing aside from books. She even used her kitchen cabinets for extra storage space for her books. But the refrigerator was book free, but it just happened to have next to nothing in it.
The woman then moved onto her organization system. It was the signature system of her home world. Which meant it was very complex. It had no describable order to the average person looking at it. But that's because there where rare books hidden within her collection. Books that shouldn't be read by anyone who just waltzed into Sophia's apartment. "No not really..." Sophia trailed off. "I do have some rare books. Books that I want to keep safe. And as they say the best place to hide a leaf is within a grove." Sophia said.
Once the pair agreed to the rules she clapped her hands together. Her face beaming with excitement. "Lets play Monopoly!" Sophia declared. The woman always loved the playful business game, even if she always lost. Then she paused. There was no food in the house. "How bout I order something for us, and then we play mono-"
Sophia stopped in mid sentence as she saw the tiny woman in her home. She never remembered inviting a tiny woman in her home. The bibliophile took off her glasses to rub her eyes, believing she was seeing things. Sophia put her glasses, and pushed them back up with both hands by the sides. The tiny woman was still there, and Sophia had no idea what to do.
It didn't take long for Saki to explain what happened. The girl was a hologram, and was part of her AI construct. Wait, AI?! Saki is a.. is a... ROBOT?! Upon this realization Sophia's jaw dropped, and her face turned a beat red. Embarrassed that she made out with a robot not to long ago. Sophia simply stood in place for a few moments, she made no effort to correct her jaw which was still agape. After a few moments of silence she raised a finger up, like she was going to ask a question. Her index finger remained in the air for a minute before she put it down, still wordless. The women then looked at Saki, to Sentenza, then back to Saki.
With no idea what to do Sophia turned around and went to the door with the silver handle. She softly opened the door and walked in, locking the door behind her. The small room was devoid of any books, and looked like the room of any average person. Which was odd for someone like Sophia. A computer sat on the desk near a window on the right side of the room, a wardrobe on the other side. In the center was a large queen sized bed with emerald green sheets. On the night stand was a framed picture of Sophia and a brunet woman that Sophia knew as Angela. Sophia placed the picture there for Angela's arrival. This was her room, her apartment. It was the place they where supposed to meet up if they where ever separated. But it was a month since that happened. And Angela was no where to seen.
Sophia picked up the picture of her and Angela on the nightstand. She simply stared at it. Things where so much easier back then. No sixteen year olds flying Gummi Ships, no Heartless, no women that turned out to be robots and projected holograms in your make-shift library. Tears formed in her eyes. Sophia missed her old life, her old friends. She always knew what to do back in her home world, but now she was clueless.
