Other
Sophie carries most of her weight in her chest, hips, arms, and thighs. She wears baggier clothing to try and hide this, and feels self conscious about her weight.

She has 3 tattoos. One on her upper chest, one on her underbust, and one on her right arm that is most of a sleeve.

Her hybrid form brings her height to 5'7, and her more curvy features become proportionately leaner. Think of it as a lean powerful form that removes any excess unneeded weight. This includes the permanent babyfat in her face, so she appears more mature in this form. Add in more taloned feet, long sharp nails, bat ears and wings, along with a more animalistic nose.

Personality

Moderately Shy - Sophie spent a lot of time outdoors with her family, or at the library. Not super social, but she is working to change that.Tends to get bowled over in conversations where she feels out of place, and is not the type to insert herself into situations easily.

Easily Excitable - When Sophie gets to talk about things she has an interest in, or is curious about, she can get a bit high energy or excited. This can lead to overgushing about a topic, or occasionally asking questions without thinking about whether she should or not.

Struggles with Empathy - Sophie struggles to empathize with experiences she hasn't been through or experienced. She hasn't led a sheltered life, but spending enough time camping and reading has left her unsocialized. This often manifests as being awkward or unsure when it comes to interacting with people who are experiencing strong emotions with topics she isn't experienced with.


Additional Information
Sophie is a chronic fidgeter, and almost always has some kind of toy or even random object that her hands are fidgeting with. Even while reading she is often playing with something absently. When she is anxious or unsure, she tends to bite/chew on the sides of her fingers or her lips.

Sophie has some body dysmorphia around her weight, and doesn't react well to being touched in less standard locations. Things like the shoulder or arm are fine, but attempting to tickle her or pick her up makes her very self conscious.

Archer: Sophie enjoys archery and hunting, one of the activities her and her dad do when they go camping during hunting season. She enjoys target archery too, and uses their families large yard to practice frequently.

Book Nerd: Sophie reads all manner of fiction, Manga, Wuxia/Cultivation, LitRPG, and standard romance fantasy. She reads a lot of web serials on her kindle, which she takes with her everwhere.

Programmer: Enjoys writing small programs but only on spur of the moment things or in relation to things she wants for games or book stuff.

Avid Gamer: Sophie plays a lot of video games, mostly roguelike or soulsborne style games. She has a Magic the Gathering collection that she takes into portland some weekends to play at tournaments.

Abilities

Ability Format
Standard

Advantages
Apex Speed, Apex Strength, Apex Regeneration, Mesmer, Enhanced Senses(Sight, Smell), Enhanced Senses(Hearing, Taste), Animal Hybrid form(Bat), Wall climbing, silent movement
Disadvantages
Elemental weakness(Holy), Aversion(Consecrated Ground), Invitation Required, Elemental Weakness(Fire), Aversion(Running Water), Weakness(Silver), Arithmomania, Lure(Exposed Blood, Consume any amount of blood), Sensitivity(Religious Iconography)

Core Advantage
Night Animal Influence: Sophie is intimately connected to other creatures of the night, specifically wolves, bats, and rats. This functions like the Animal Connection advantage, and can extend to sentient creatures/humanoids that have either a full animal form or a hybrid form that aligns with the previously mentioned species. For sentient creatures with either a full or hybrid animal form, this is very subtle and weak while they are in human form, and becomes more powerful when they are actively shifted into their respective animal forms. For creatures who fit the species category, and are also subject to the moonbound disadvantage, this ability is at full strength while they are under the effects of moonbound.
Core Disadvantage
Thirst for Blood: Sophie must consume blood to sustain herself, and gains no nutritional value from normal food. If she go too long without feeding, she will grow weaker and weaker as well as more feral. Failing to feed past a certain point will cause Sophie to fall comatose and enter a state of permanent hibernation which can only be roused by being fed blood. Will not die as a result of being starved.
Bonus
Body Part Regeneration
Upgrade 1: Vampire venom- When sophie bites a person, she can release a venom that makes a person mentally vulnerable for 10 minutes.
Upgrade 2: Elemental Form(Mist)
Upgrade 3: Animal Form(Black wolf with red eyes)
Upgrade 4: Short range Teleportation - Sophie can teleport up to 10 feet in any direction she can see, but doing so takes a moderate toll on her stamina.
Nerfs and Flavor
Sophie's abilities are modeled after the classic dracula powerset.
She has two core disadvantages at the moment, but the ring is meant to be temporary and is more an active plot device in her possession that will be removed when an active plot element is concluded.

In direct sunlight, she is weakened to baseline human levels when it comes to senses, abilities, and attributes. She is also unable to change forms in direct sunlight, and if she is in her hybrid form, she is forced back into her human form. If she is in her animal form, she must stay that way until she is able to get out of direct sunlight.

History

Date of Birth
08/10
Place of Birth
Polaris Pass
Sophie is a local to Polaris pass, and has been molded by her surroundings. She was homeschooled by her mother for most of elementary school, and when she joined public school she ended up a year behind, making her a year older than her peers. With close proximity to the forest and her father being into scouts and hunting, she ended up getting involved in that life from a young age. Living a very tomboyish life early on though never really an extrovert, she often went camping and hunting with her father as a bonding experience. When she expressed interest in archery, her father was elated and helped her dive into the hobby. She has both a target olympic style bow, and one more practical for hunting, as well as a barebones recurve which is her favorite. In late elementary school, she made a friend who was into Magic the gathering and she ended up picking up the hobby as well. They played for a few years before that friend and their family moved away. She occasionally updates her decks and goes to tournaments in Portland, but hasn't been recently. After reaching middleschool and puberty hitting, she gained a moderate amount of weight, and developed faster than most of her peers. There was some bullying that happened, which pushed her toward the sanctuary that was the school library and books. Hiding behind the pages and thicker baggier clothing, she went through most of middle school without making a lot of friends. Eventually she picked up a part time job at Jodie's Diner, and used that money to get a computer. Finding games and online novels, she dived deep into the more reclusive lifestyle. Picking up some rudimentary programming skills along the way out of interest. More recently following prom, and her specific not going to it, her mother has been pushing her to get out more and make some friends.
