Talk:Sophie Elizabeth Foster/@comment-98.186.66.7-20191120205401

I thought I should share my opinion on all the Sophie hate I've seen lately. Most of it is because of her behavior in Legacy, so I'll focus on that. 1- how she handled Sophitz. Personally, I don't think the breakup was anyone's fault- neither Sophie nor Fitz are ready for a real relationship, especially Sophie. This is why she felt to pressured/constrained by it. While she should have talked to Fitz about her feelings, her actions (namely, ignoring him and refusing to publicly acknowledge their relationship) were understandable for a teenager dating her first crush. 2- her reaction to discovering her mother's identity. I understand why people are mad about this, but I get it. I can't imagine how I'd feel if someone I'd known for years- someone I trusted- turned out to be hiding that big a secret from me. True, Oralie had a good reason for hiding it, but considering how much she'd been stressing about being unmatchable lately, it would feel like a betrayal to know Oralie could have helped her. I do love Oralie, though, and I felt sad for her. 3- how she was stressing about being unmatchable in the first place, especially while Tam was in danger. Ok, I kinda agree with this one. But it should be said that Sophie only expected to get her packet. She could always fill it out later, when things had died down and her friends were safe. Of course, we all know things didn't go as planned, and that Sophie obsessed about it. Also understandable, in a way. If Sophie is unmatchable, it doesn't just practically doom her relationship with Fitz- it influences every future relationship she may have in her indefinite life span, and likely non-romantic ones, too. After all, the Dizznees are treated like dirt by many who have nothing to do with them. And after a life of always being different- among both elves and humans- I think Sophie would do anything to be normal. But it demonstrates her growing maturity to accept that- to keep Oralie's identity secret, even when Fitz guesses it, and stop searching for her father. That decision literally changed her life, and she knew it. So, yeah. That's my take on it. And if you've made it all the way down here, thanks for your dedication! Feel free to counter-argue. I love a friendly debate. -Novalie
