Sophie and Fitz

Sophitz is the relationship between Sophie Foster and Fitz Vacker. Beginning from the second they met, Sophie seems to have feelings for him. These possible feelings cause her face to get hot when she is around him, and her heart fluttering. The two also hold hands often, usually for things such as Cognate training or moral support.

In Lodestar, it seems that Fitz may possibly have feelings for Sophie, although he had said that he sees Sophie just like a little sister in earlier books. Fitz was the first elf Sophie ever met, and they supported each other through nearly all of the books published. At the end of Lodestar, it is possible that Fitz was trying to kiss her.
