'''Sophie Elizabeth Foster''' is the main protagonist throughout the series ''Keeper of the Lost Cities''. She is currently 15 years old in the Elvin world, as stated in [[Book 7: Flashback|Book 7: ''Flashback'']]. She has attended [[Foxfire|Foxfire Academy]], the only noble school in the [[Lost Cities]], for levels Two ([[Book 1: Keeper of the Lost Cities|Book 1: ''Keeper of the Lost Cities'']]), Three ([[Book 2: Exile|''Exile'']], [[Book 3: Everblaze|''Everblaze'']], [[Book 5: Lodestar|''Lodestar'']], and [[Book 6: Nightfall|''Nightfall'']]), and Four ([[Book 7: Flashback|''Flashback'']]). She temporarily attended [[Exillium]] with [[Fitzroy Avery Vacker|Fitz]], [[Dexter Alvin Dizznee|Dex]], [[Keefe Sencen|Keefe]], and [[Biana Vacker|Biana]], in [[Book 4: Neverseen|''Neverseen'']]. She is allergic to [[limbium]]. She, after being adopted, did not take the last name of [[Ruewen]], which is her adoptive parents' surname.
 
 
The name Sophie means "wisdom" "wise" "pretty," and "skill." Her middle name, Elizabeth, means "oath of God" and "God is satisfaction." Her last name, [[Foster (Freeman) Family|Foster]], means "one who keeps the forest."
 
 
== Physical Appearance ==
 
Sophie Elizabeth Foster is described as being very beautiful, a natural trait of elves. You can get mixed messages about the level of her beauty because of her low self esteem, a result of constant hearing of her human classmate's thoughts, opinions, and bullying. However, her beauty goes from that beyond the average elf, like her friend [[Linh Song|Linh]]. This is hinted at throughout the series. She has wavy blond hair flowing just past her shoulders. Her eyes are a warm [[Brown Eyes|brown]] with flecks of gold based on an [[Alicorn|alicorn's]] DNA. She is the only known elf without blue eyes. As of [[Book 2: Exile|''Exile'']], she has a star-shaped scar on the back of her hand. It was given to her by [[Mr. Forkle|Mr Forkle]] when he used a needle that had an antidote to [[limbium]] in it to heal Sophie's [[abilities]].
 
 
Many people have described [[Sophie]] as alluring and attractive; [[Dexter Alvin Dizznee|Dex]] has accidentally called her the prettiest girl at [[Foxfire]] on many occasions, [[Della Vacker|Della]] has said that she will be a heartbreaker when she grows up, [[Keefe Sencen|Keefe]] hints at thinking that she is pretty and calls her adorable, and [[Fitzroy Avery Vacker|Fitz]] implies many times that he thinks she's beautiful.
 
 
Sophie also has a [[Wanderling]] tree, a remnant from her kidnapping and presumed death in [[Book 1: Keeper of the Lost Cities|Book 1: ''Keeper of the Lost Cities'']]. It has golden leaves that cover the branches and dark brown seedpods. It is a plain, basic tree with no flowers or colours.

== Personality and Traits ==
 
Sophie's favorite color is teal, (because of [[Fitzroy Avery Vacker|Fitz's]] eye color). Sophie is first depicted as a lonely and shy girl, a 12-year-old among high school seniors. She was an outcast in the [[Forbidden Cities]] because she was incredibly intelligent, and was often called a know-it-all. All of this led to her getting a full scholarship to Yale University, which her parents denied to shield her from the attention. Her outstanding grades and [[Photographic Memory|photographic memory]] frequently annoyed her [[Humans|human]] peers. Because of this, she often wore dull colors, like black or grey. Too much attention still makes her uncomfortable even in the [[Lost Cities]].
 
 
At first, Sophie had a hard time accepting the fact that she was an [[About the Elves|elf]], but this did not deter her curiosity. Sophie often doubts herself and sometimes needs reassurance to boost her self-confidence. She has a habit of tugging out loose eyelashes when she is nervous. She usually cries when she's frustrated and needs to express her feelings, usually on her friends' shoulders. Her [[Ruewen|family]] is very supportive and understands her feelings. Despite this, she is also headstrong and brave. Even if something seems dangerous, she always wants to help, especially when her friends and family are involved. For instance, when [[Keefe Sencen|Keefe]] joined the [[Neverseen]], Sophie tried everything she could to get him back, straining her friendship with [[Fitzroy Avery Vacker|Fitz]]. She also has a high guilt level.
 
 
Sophie doesn't enjoy wearing [[Elvin Clothing|fancy clothes]], despite the fact that everyone always compliments her when she does, but after [[Manifest|manifesting]] as an [[Enhancer]] she starts dressing more like [[Biana Vacker|Biana]] to camouflage the gloves she wears.
 
 
Sophie's most prominent trait is her protectiveness and willingness to help her friends, even if it harms herself. This is shown when she nearly faded away while [[Light Leaping|light leaping]] without a [[Nexuses|nexus]] because she wrapped all of her concentration around [[Dexter Alvin Dizznee|Dex]], who she thought was unconscious when they escaped the [[Neverseen]] in [[Book 1: Keeper of the Lost Cities|Book 1: ''Keeper of the Lost Cities'']].
 
 
Sophie is also very determined, refusing to give up despite any situation. A prime example would be during her capture in [[Book 1: Keeper of the Lost Cities|Book 1: ''Keeper of the Lost Cities'']], where she did not give up hope trying to contact [[Fitzroy Avery Vacker|Fitz]]. Sophie also has a [[Photographic Memory|photographic memory]], which is very helpful in classes like [[The Universe]].
 
 
== [[Special Abilities]] ==
 
Sophie, as of [[Book 7: Flashback|''Flashback'']], is a [[Telepath]], [[Inflictor]], [[Polyglot]], [[Teleporter]], and [[Enhancer]]. She is likely the most powerful known elf in the Lost Cities. However, it is hinted that she might have more undiscovered [[abilities]]. Even though it is not a [[Abilities|special ability]], Sophie has a powerful [[Photographic Memory|photographic memory]], just like [[Keefe Sencen]]. According to [[Grizel]], she is also a natural at throwing [[weapons]]. It has also been revealed that Sophie can perform a [[Brain Push|brain push]] (transforming mental energy into physical energy, giving Sophie a burst of superhuman strength). She can also speak to animals telepathically.
 
 
=== [[Telepath]] ===
 
Sophie has had the [[Abilities|ability]] to read minds since the unusually young age of five. Her talent was activated by [[Mr. Forkle]], the leader of the [[Black Swan]] when she was unconscious on a day she hit her head. However, Sophie cannot remember what happened to her that day because [[Mr. Forkle]] erased that memory. She is considered to be the most powerful [[Telepath]] in the Elvin world since she can communicate telepathically halfway across the world while being severely injured and heavily sedated. She is also the only elf who can safely enter and heal a broken mind. Sophie can also read the minds and hear the thoughts of [[:Category:Animals|animals]], which has never been done before (though she later teaches Fitz how to) and use her abilities to pinpoint others' exact locations, which she first realized while playing a game of [[Base Quest|base quest]] at [[Everglen]]. Her [[Foxfire]] [[mentor]] is [[Tiergan]], and before that, [[Mr. Forkle]] mentally trained her mind while she was asleep in the human world. Sophie is also able to access the minds of even those with phenomenal blocking and has such an impenetrable mind herself that even the most powerful and well-trained [[Telepath]]s are unable to penetrate her mind. Only [[Mr. Forkle]] and [[Fitzroy Avery Vacker|Fitz Vacker]] can read her thoughts, as they have a unique code that allows them to bypass Sophie's subconscious blocking. Sophie does not know their codes. [[Fitzroy Avery Vacker|Fitz]] transmits the code "It's me" (revealed in the [[Book 7: Flashback|Book 7: ''Flashback'']] [[Fitzroy Avery Vacker|Fitz]] short story) to enter Sophie's mind. [[Fitzroy Avery Vacker|Fitz]] and Sophie are also [[Cognates]].
 
 
=== [[Polyglot]] ===
 
Sophie showed signs of being a [[Polyglot]] as soon as she met [[Fitz]] (who was speaking in the [[Enlightened Language]]). Sophie realized that she is a [[Polyglot]] when she and [[Dexter Alvin Dizznee|Dex]] were escaping their kidnappers in France, and she spoke to someone in French without realizing it. [[Alden Vacker|Alden]] told her being a [[Polyglot]] will help her in [[Multispeciesial Studies]], which she is taught at [[Foxfire]]. She struggles with [[Mimicry]], though, an important [[Skills|skill]] in her [[Linguistics]] class. After [[Keefe]] uses [[Mimicry]] to give [[Councillor Kenric Elgar Fathdon|Kenric's]] [[Caches|cache]] to the [[Neverseen]], Sophie decides to refrain from learning to [[Mimicry|Mimic]]. Her [[linguistics]] instructor is [[Lady Cadence Talle|Lady Cadence]].
 
 
=== [[Inflictor]] ===
 
Sophie has this [[Abilities|ability]] because of the [[Black Swan]]'s tweaking of her genes. The first time she used the [[Abilities|ability]] was when she made her [[Neverseen|kidnappers]] fall to the ground in pain in [[Book 1: Keeper of the Lost Cities|Book 1: ''Keeper of the Lost Cities'']]''.'' She can harness her emotions by imagining them as thick strings that she keeps tied in a sort of knot beneath her ribs. She can inflict both positively and negatively. Normally, [[Inflictors]] can only inflict negative emotions, but because of the tweaks made to her DNA, which was loosely based on an [[Alicorn|alicorn's]], she can inflict positive emotions as well. She can bring people's minds back from a [[Broken Mind|mental break]] by inflicting positive emotions. Her instructor is [[Councillor Bronte]], who was previously the only registered [[Inflictors|Inflictor]] in the [[About the Elves|Elvin]] world. Then in [[Book 8: Legacy]] she undergoes another lithium dose (which she is deathly allergic to) in order to reset her inflicting and enhancing. Hence making them both more powerful. After she does the treatment she is able to inflict on a specific person or people. So she doesn't bring her friends down when she inflicts anymore.
 
 
=== [[Photographic Memory]] ===
 
Sophie also has a [[Photographic Memory|photographic memory]], which helped her excel academically in her [[Humans|human]] schools. When Sophie sees something, she can remember it in her mind exactly how she saw it in vivid detail. She uses her [[Photographic Memory|photographic memory]] for the [[Memory Log|memory log]] that [[Alden Vacker|Alden]] gave her, which keeps track of different moments for her to reference. She projects her memory onto the pages and often finds hidden messages in them when she looks closely at them. This ability helps Sophie a lot in classes such as [[The Universe]], as she has the stars memorized. It also allows her to remember information the [[Black Swan]] planted in her mind while she was living in the human world.
 
 
=== [[Teleporter]] ===
 
[[File:Sophie_and_Silveny_flying.png|thumb]]Acquired from the similarities to [[Alicorn|alicorns]] in her genes, Sophie can [[teleporter|teleport]] like [[Silveny]], [[Greyfell]], and, presumably, [[Luna]] and [[Wynn]] (the baby [[alicorns]]). Sophie is the only known [[About the Elves|elf]] who can [[Teleporter|teleport]]. When [[Teleporter|teleporting]], Sophie must build momentum by falling from a high place, such as a cliff, or by levitating and then dropping, and, in Legacy(book 8) she gained the ability to enter the void by sprinting. After entering the void, all she has to do is imagine the place she'd like to go to and she will fall through the sky and out of the void to it. Sophie cannot teleport through anything solid (underground, such as [[Exile]], into buildings, or into the [[The Sanctuary|Sanctuary]], which is located in a mountain range). In ''[[Legacy]], ''it is found out that she can teleport while building momentum and running really fast; she doesn't need to jump off a cliff. This might be due to an exercise she does with Councillor [[Oralie]] or an observation made by Keefe when comparing Luna and Wynn”s teleportation to hers. Regardless, when racing [[Keefe]] back to Elvin in ''[[Legacy]], she is able to teleport by sprinting really quickly. ''
 
 
=== [[Enhancer]] ===
 
Sophie has the [[Abilities|ability]] to [[Enhancer|enhance]], or temporarily improve, someone's energy and [[Abilities|ability]]. Her body builds up energy in her fingertips and releases it through physical contact. This requires her to wear gloves whenever in public, so she doesn't accidentally boost someone's energy. [[Dexter Alvin Dizznee|Dex]] once attempted to give Sophie [[Crush Cuffs|crush cuffs]] with a force-field that prevents the need for gloves, but she declined. In Book 8: [[Legacy]] she resets her enhancing and inflicting [[abilities]] with another dose of lithium. So they are much stronger than they were before and she needed to wear multiple pairs of gloves so she didn't enhance anyone. [[Edaline Ruewen|Edaline]], [[Livvy]], [[Biana]], [[Dex]], and [[Wylie]] all needed two pairs not to feel the effects of her enhancing. Stina needed three, [[Fitz]] needed four, and [[Keefe]] needed six layers and the fingernail gadgets. Although after all of that he still felt some of her energy. [[Mr. Forkle]] was convinced that if she wanted, she could find a way within herself to turn the enhancing off without any gadgets. After a freeing exercise with Councillor [[Oralie]] she found that she is able to turn them on and off at her will.
 
 
In [[Book 7: Flashback|Book 7: ''Flashback'']]'','' [[Tinker]] invents a gadget attached to Sophie's fingernails to block her [[Enhancer|Enhancing]]. She can turn on and off this effect by simply tapping her fingernails together. [[Mr. Forkle]] informed her that there is no way for her to lock it at any time, placing her in a precarious position because an enemy could force her to turn off the force field and enhance them; however, she took the risk anyway because of the advantages the fake nails presented. This [[Abilities|ability]] is not a result of her genetic modification, and it is stated that [[Mr. Forkle]] decided not to include this [[Abilities|ability]] in her genetic code because of the risk it presents. Sophie may have never [[Manifest|manifested]] this [[Abilities|ability]] if [[Mr. Forkle]] hadn't triggered it in [[Book 5: Lodestar|''Lodestar'']].
 
 
== Relationships ==
 
* '''[[Foster (Freeman) Family|HUMAN FAMILY]] '''
 
Sophie seemed to have had a very strong relationship with her [[Foster (Freeman) Family|human family]], and still has one with her [[Amy Rose Foster|younger sister]]. She cried when the time came for her to be separated from them and was depressed for a short period of time. Her human father is [[William David Foster]] (changed to Connor Freeman,) her human mother is [[Emma Iris Foster]], (changed to Kate Freeman,) and her sister is [[Amy Foster|Amy Rose Foster]] (changed to Natalie Freeman). When Sophie left for the Lost Cities, [[Washer]]s relocated her human family and wiped all their memories of Sophie so they didn't have to think their daughter died.
 
 
She used to think her [[Amy Rose Foster|younger sister]], [[Amy Rose Foster|Amy]], was annoying, but when the time came for her to move to the Lost Cities and have her family's memories erased, she realized she cared for her.
 
 
At the end of [[Book 5: Lodestar|''Lodestar'']], Sophie thought her family might be in danger from the [[Neverseen]], so she visited their new home. She realized that the [[Neverseen]] had already been there. The [[Neverseen]] had kidnapped her parents, but her sister had successfully hidden from them. Seeing Sophie and hearing her speak returned [[Amy Rose Foster|Amy's]] memories of Sophie.
 
 
In [[Book 6: Nightfall|Book 6: ''Nightfall'']], [[Amy Rose Foster|Amy]] came to live with [[Quinlin Sonden]] and [[Livvy]]. She learned about the [[Lost Cities]] and became closer to Sophie. Sophie rescued her parents from the [[Neverseen]], and their memories were again wiped by [[Washer]]s, except for [[Amy]], who was allowed to keep her memories on the condition that she would never mention the [[Forbidden Cities]].
 
 
Amy and Sophie don't see each other again until Book 8: Legacy, when Mr. Forkle gives both of them a painful memory back. They try to spend time catching up, but are rushed along so they can finish before Amy's parents come back.[[File:Fitz Vacker Color.jpg|thumb|240x240px|Fitz Vacker]]
 
* '''[[Fitzroy Avery Vacker|FITZ]] ([[cognates|Cognate]]/close friend/[[Sophie and Fitz|former boyfriend]])'''
 
When they first met, [[Fitz]] instantly struck Sophie as cute, and it has been shown that she has had a crush on him ever since. Over time, their bond has grown stronger, partly due to the fact that they are currently [[Cognates]]-in-training and now know all of each other's secrets - including their romantic interests for each other. The two trust each other and understand the other's minds completely. When Sophie was in grave danger, the first person she thought of was [[Fitz]]. Sophie and [[Fitz]] have developed a bond so strong they are capable of [[Transmission|transmitting]] thoughts to one another from great distances. [[Fitz]] is the only elf besides [[Mr. Forkle]] who is able to enter Sophie's mind by transmitting "It's me" to her subconsciousness. It has been shown in ''[[Book 6: Nightfall|Nightfall]]'' that [[Fitz]] is very fond of giving Sophie gifts with no explanation.
 
 
In [[Book 2: Exile|''Exile'']], when [[Alden Vacker|Alden's]] [[Broken Mind|mind broke]], [[Fitz]] shut Sophie out, thinking she was to blame and that he should have been with his dad instead of her when [[Alden Vacker|Alden]] was injured. Despite this, Sophie thinks that he had every right to be mad at her because he may have lost his father forever. Right before she healed [[Alden Vacker|Alden]], he took her outside and privately apologized to her. She immediately accepted.
 
 
In [[Book 5: Lodestar|''Lodestar'']], [[Fitz]] becomes more open with Sophie and began to show more affection for her. He gave her [[Cognate Rings|Cognate rings]] as a [[Midterms]] gift, which she thought she liked "a little too much." Sophie's crush on him continued to develop. [[Fitz]] may also have nearly kissed Sophie under [[Calla|Calla's]] [[Panakes|Panakes tree]] at one point, but [[Keefe]] interrupted before he could.
 
 
In [[Book 7: Flashback|''Flashback'']], Sophie and [[Fitzroy Avery Vacker|Fitz]] became extremely close. [[Fitz]] told Sophie that wanted only her to be on his [[Match Lists|match list]], causing Sophie to tell him about ''her'' own crush on him. They almost kissed immediately after this; however, it was interrupted by [[Silveny|Silveny's]] transmissions. They eventually decided to hold things off until Sophie was ready to start "dating." [[File:Keefe Sencen Color.jpg|thumb|240x240px|Keefe Sencen]]
 
 
In [[Legacy]], Sophie is nervous about her 'unmatchable' state and avoids Fitz. When Fitz finally does find out, he seems intent on discovering Sophie's biological parents, so they could be matched. He also calls Sophie his girlfriend, and the two began dating. Later, they fought and broke up, and then decided to just be friends.
 
 
* '''[[Keefe Sencen|KEEFE]] (close friend/[[Keefe and Sophie|possible love interest]])'''
 
[[Keefe]] and Sophie first met in the halls of [[Foxfire]]. Sophie was heading to the [[Healing Center]] and [[Keefe]] was ditching class. Since then, the two have been in [[Detention]] together numerous times. Being an [[Empath]], [[Keefe]] is able to feel Sophie's emotions much stronger than he can feel others', even when he is not in contact with her. [[Keefe]] enjoys teasing and jokingly flirting with Sophie at times, even self-proclaiming himself as president of the 'Foster Fan Club.' It is shown in [[Book 6: Nightfall|''Nightfall'']] that the two balance each other out and make a great team.
 
 
Instead of calling Sophie by her first name, [[Keefe Sencen|Keefe]] frequently calls her by her last name, [[Foster (Freeman) Family|Foster]], as well as often making comments about "Team [[Foster (Freeman) Family|Foster]]-[[Keefe]]." When the two, along with their friends, run off to join the Black Swan, [[Keefe]] reveals one of his biggest insecurities to Sophie, admitting that he hides behind jokes to cope with how he actually feels. It is how he deals with life. Sophie was the first person to see [[Keefe]] for who he actually is beneath all the jokes and flirts.
 
 
While staying at [[Alluveterre]], Sophie was always there for [[Keefe]], helping him deal with the possibility of losing his mother by allowing him to cry on her shoulder. On particularly bad nights, [[Keefe]] and Sophie had window slumber parties where they slept beside their windowsills facing each other. At the end of the book, [[Keefe]] gifted Sophie with a necklace he had originally made for [[Lady Gisela|his mother]]. They lean in close, almost kissing, before being interrupted by [[Grady Ruewen|Grady]] and [[Edaline Ruewen|Edaline]]. [[Keefe]] joined the [[Neverseen]] after that, leaving Sophie heartbroken.
 
 
Throughout [[Book 5: Lodestar|''Lodestar'']], [[Keefe]] and Sophie had Telepathic check-ins every day where [[Keefe]] filled Sophie in on any important information regarding the [[Neverseen]]. She constantly pleaded with him to leave the organization, but he refused. At the end of the book, during the attack on [[Lumenaria]], [[Keefe]] promised Sophie that he would always be there for her. This proved handy when things between Sophie and Fitz were tense and awkward, so she came to Keefe for moral support.
 
 
In the Barnes and Noble Special Edition Short Story of ''[[Book 6: Nightfall|Nightfall]]'', [[Keefe Sencen|Keefe]] admitted that he had a crush on Sophie. [[Ro]] says that he "has it bad for her." [[Keefe Sencen|Keefe]] tried to escape bed rest many times, and he even tried to escape just so he could know if Sophie was safe. He only felt slightly better when [[Elwin]] promised to give him an update on Sophie. While he was stuck on bed rest and [[Romhilda|Ro]] was destroying [[Candleshade]], he dreamed about "golden flecked eyes." He also vowed to always be there for her as a friend until she was "ready for more." He also confirmed that there was a love square, not a triangle.[[File:Dex Dizznee Colour.jpg|thumb|240x240px|Dex Dizznee]]
 
* '''[[Dexter Alvin Dizznee|DEX]] ([[Sophie and Dex|best friend]]/adoptive cousin)'''
 
[[Dexter Alvin Dizznee|Dex]] is Sophie's first and best friend, as stated in the books, although [[Biana]] also considers herself to be Sophie's best friend. [[Dexter Alvin Dizznee|Dex]] cares deeply about Sophie, and he often studies with her for their exams. He was with her when she was kidnapped and was also taken in the first book.
 
 
In the earlier books, he strongly disapproved of Sophie associating herself with [[Fitzroy Avery Vacker|Fitz]] and his family, claiming that they are a bunch of distrustful people and often referred to [[Fitzroy Avery Vacker|Fitz]] as "Wonderboy." Although Sophie ignored his warning and later learned that [[Biana Vacker|Biana]] only became friends with her because [[Alden Vacker|Alden]] ordered her to, [[Dexter Alvin Dizznee|Dex]] supported her despite their previous argument.
 
 
In [[Book 2: Exile|''Exile'']], Sophie tried to talk to him privately about their kidnapping because she felt that they were the only ones who could understand it. During the conversation, [[Dexter Alvin Dizznee|Dex]] admitted he kept quiet and didn't scream for help so that the kidnappers wouldn't hurt Sophie. When Sophie needed his help opening the gate to the Cliffside pasture, he came and helped despite his reluctance and fear. He was also with Sophie when they found [[Silveny]], one of two [[Alicorn|alicorns]] in the world at the time. It is also mentioned that he came around to [[Havenfield]] and Sophie often roped him in to help her with her chores, such as washing the various animals at the pastures.
 
 
In ''[[Book 1: Keeper of the Lost Cities]]'', his [[Skills|ability]] as a [[Technopath]] was revealed and Sophie comforted him about it, often reassuring him that it was a cool ability. During the book, he began working with [[the Council]] and building gadgets (or as he slipped up and said, "[[weapons]]"). When Sophie had been issued a punishment for entering the [[King Dimitar|ogre king's]] mind, he was ordered to make her an [[Ability Restrictor|ability restrictor]]. Although he regretted listening to the Council, it still took time for Sophie to forgive him. When she was ambushed by [[Brant]], he responded to her [[Panic Switch|panic switch]] ring alert and took her circlet off even though it meant possibly being exiled. He joins her in running off to the [[Black Swan]], showing his loyalty and friendship.
 
 
In [[Book 4: Neverseen|''Neverseen'']], their friendship was still a little bit complicated but she completely forgave him.
 
 
In [[Book 5: Lodestar|''Lodestar'']], all her friends gathered at his house, [[Rimeshire]], for a sleepover to analyze scrolls and find out the [[Neverseen|Neverseen's]] secrets. Sophie commented on how nice his house was and they both blushed when the triplets teased them.
 
 
In [[Book 6: Nightfall|''Nightfall'']], [[Dex]] was absent for many chapters because of an "embarrassing" incident with Sophie. He had modified [[Crush Cuffs|crush cuffs]] that had his name on them to act as restrainers for her [[Enhancer|Enhancing]]. He admitted that he had had the crush cuffs since the last year when he was too scared to give them to her at midterms; she told him that it was very sweet. She kissed him to determine if either of them truly had feelings for each other. They did not and they departed as best friends. [[Keefe]] later told her that in [[Dexter Alvin Dizznee|Dex's]] mind he wanted [[Sophie and Dex|Dexphie]] to sail, but in his heart, he knew it wouldn't happen. It confirmed that starting in the first book, [[Dex]] has liked Sophie as more than a friend.
 
 
As of [[Book 7: Flashback|''Flashback'']], Sophie and [[Dex]] remain best friends, and [[Dex]] has even begun to joke about his previous crush on Sophie, proving that he has moved on.[[File:Biana Vacker Colour.jpg|thumb|240x240px|Biana Vacker]]
 
* '''[[Biana Vacker|BIANA]] (close friend/[[Sophie and Biana|possible love interest]])'''
 
[[Biana Vacker|Biana]] considers Sophie her best friend. She first became friends with Sophie because her [[Alden Vacker|father]] made her (which Sophie found out via [[Stina Heks|Stina]]), but as she got to know Sophie, [[Biana]] became a genuine friend of hers, even crying when Sophie was taken. [[Biana Vacker|Biana]] has proven herself to be a fierce and loyal friend to Sophie. She always tries to include Sophie in her makeovers, but Sophie hates makeup, and avoids it as much as she can; [[Biana Vacker|Biana]] occasionally lends Sophie clothes, always saying she looks good in them. She is a [[Vanisher]] like her mother, [[Della]], and bragged to everyone when she [[Manifest|manifested]]. She has used her ability to go on secret missions with Sophie. [[Calla]], a [[Gnomes|gnome]], could see her even when she [[Vanisher|Vanished]], and [[Biana]] worked hard to try and find a way to hide from her. Eventually, she figured out the secret and made it impossible for any gnome to know if she's there or not. During [[Book 6: Nightfall|''Nightfall'']], [[Biana]] [[Vanisher|Vanished]] and snuck off, only to get smashed into a mirror by [[Vespera]]. She now has many scars all over her arms, neck, face, and back. She sometimes hides them with long sleeves but lets them show when she wants to make a statement about how the [[Neverseen]] can't break her.
 
[[File:Tam Song Color.jpg|thumb|236x236px|Tam Song]]
 
* '''[[Tam Song|TAM]] (good friend/[[Sophie and Tam|possible love interest]])'''
 
Sophie and her friends first met [[Tam Song]] and his twin sister [[Linh Song|Linh]] in [[Book 4: Neverseen|''Neverseen'']], when they went to [[Exillium]]. [[Tam Song|Tam]] is a [[Shades|Shade]], meaning he can sense the [[shadowvapor]] of others. [[Tam Song|Tam]] is rather cynical and protective of [[Linh Song|Linh]]. He went to be with his sister after she was banished for flooding [[Atlantis]]. [[Tam Song|Tam]] dislikes being referred to by his surname. [[Tam Song|Tam]] has hinted that he likes [[Biana Vacker|Biana]]. He also won’t trust anyone until he takes a shadow reading. In ''[[Flashback]]'', he went to the [[Neverseen]] :( to take Umber's place in exchange for the antidote for the [[soporidine]] shot onto the [[alicorn]]s, [[Silveny]] and [[Greyfell]]. At the end of [[Legacy]], Tam returns from the Neverseen with [[Glimmer]].[[File:Linh Song Color.jpg|thumb|240x240px|Linh Song]]
 
[[File:Marella2.PNG|thumb|243x243px|Marella Redek]]
 
* '''[[Linh Song|LINH]] (good friend/[[Sophie and Linh|possible love interest]])'''
 
Sophie and [[Linh Song|Linh]] have been friends since the first moment they met and are incredibly loyal in their friendship, shown in ''[[Book 5: Lodestar|Lodestar]]'' when Sophie defended the twins when confronting their parents, [[Quan Song|Quan]] and [[Mai Song|Mai]] [[Song]]. She seems slightly jealous of the admiration [[Linh Song|Linh]] has for [[Fitz]], making her feel bad because she likes [[Linh Song|Linh]]. [[Linh Song|Linh]] is a [[Hydrokinetic]], which is what caused all the floods that banished her to [[Exillium]]. When Sophie became an [[Enhancer]], [[Linh Song|Linh]] often put distance between them, fearing that she could flood again, but in ''[[Book 6: Nightfall|Nightfall]]'' she used Sophie's [[Enhancer|Enhancing]] to save [[Atlantis]].
 
* [[Marella Redek|'''MARELLA''']]''' (friend/[[Sophie and Marella|possible love interest]])'''
 
[[Marella]] is Sophie's friend and vice-versa. She and Sophie became friends in [[Book 1: Keeper of the Lost Cities|''Book'' ''1: Keeper of the Lost Cities'']], but later, when Sophie started hanging out with the [[Vacker]]s, [[Keefe]], and [[Dexter Alvin Dizznee|Dex]] more, [[Marella]] felt left out and started hanging out with [[Stina]]. However, in [[Book 5: Lodestar|''Lodestar'']], [[Marella]] had her hidden [[Skills|ability]] triggered by [[Mr. Forkle]] and started spending more time with Sophie as she uses her abilities to help fight the [[Neverseen]]. Her family name is [[Redek]], and she dislikes nicknames, telling Sophie in the first book, "My name's [[Marella]]. Not Mare. Not Ella. [[Marella]]." However, in [[Book 6: Nightfall|''Nightfall'']], [[Marella Redek|Marella]] was brought back with her unique talent as a [[pyrokinetic|Pyrokinetic]] and joined the [[Black Swan]] to help Sophie get back her [[Foster (Freeman) Family|parents]]. In [[Book 7: Flashback|''Flashback'']], [[Marella]] is seen helping Sophie and her friends fight off the baby trolls with her powers.
 
 
* '''[[Councillor Oralie|ORALIE]] (supporter/[[Councillors|Councillor]]/biological mother)'''
 
[[Oralie]] is one of the [[Councillors]] who has always been supportive of Sophie and never been negative towards her. She often seems to be supportive of the Black Swan and is sometimes consulted in their decisions. She has helped Sophie with numerous projects, from getting her a visit with [[Gethen]] to fixing [[Exillium]]. In [[Book 8: Legacy|''Legacy'']], Oralie was revealed to be Sophie's biological mother just after helping Sophie "fix" her [[Enhancer|Enhancing]]. After Sophie learns this, she gets very angry at Oralie for lying to her. However, Oralie's cache contains a secret that might be the only way to save Keefe. They agree to work together on opening it.[[File:Screen Shot 2017-10-02 at 5.13.32 PM.png|thumb|266x266px|Edaline Ruewen]]
 
* '''[[Edaline Ruewen|EDALINE]] (adoptive mother)'''
 
[[Edaline Ruewen|Edaline]] is a sensitive mother when it comes to Sophie being burnt by something, as her first daughter, [[Jolie Lucine Ruewen|Jolie]], died in a fire. Sophie reminds her of [[Jolie Lucine Ruewen|Jolie]], as she has said a few times, and that makes it a little painful to look at Sophie sometimes. She had a hard time adjusting to having Sophie in [[Book 1: Keeper of the Lost Cities|''Book 1: Keeper of the Lost Cities'']], but she eventually sees Sophie as her daughter. She is also known to be a great [[Verdi|T-rex]] rider, as shown first in [[Book 1: Keeper of the Lost Cities|''Book 1: Keeper of the Lost Cities'']]. [[Edaline Ruewen|Edaline]] is a [[Conjurer]], like her late daughter, [[Jolie Lucine Ruewen|Jolie]]. [[Edaline Ruewen|Edaline]] also became very aware of Sophie's safety in [[Book 1: Keeper of the Lost Cities|''Book 1: Keeper of the Lost Cities'']] and decides that she should not go into the pastures again to avoid getting hurt. After Sophie discovered that she and [[Grady]] were canceling her adoption, their relationship was very rocky to the point of Sophie never talking to them and ripping off the [[Ruewen]] crest on her cape. When Sophie saw [[Edaline Ruewen|Edaline]] and [[Grady]] in [[Havenfield#Rooms|Jolie's old bedroom]], she overheard part of their conversation and found it easier to try and forgive them. After Sophie was found and returned she decided to stay with them and become part of the [[Ruewen|family]].
 
 
[[Edaline Ruewen|Edaline]] is very supportive of Sophie's decisions, as stated in [[Book 7: Flashback|''Flashback'']]. She also often can't help but eavesdrop on Sophie and [[Fitzroy Avery Vacker|Fitz's]] conversations.[[File:Grady ruewen.PNG|thumb|264x264px|Grady Ruewen]]
 
* '''[[Grady Ruewen|GRADY]] (adoptive father)'''
 
[[Grady Ruewen|Grady]] is fun, warm, and cheery, but when Sophie is in trouble, he becomes cold and stern. He, like [[Edaline Ruewen|Edaline]], had a hard time adjusting to her, but at the end of [[Book 1: Keeper of the Lost Cities|''Book 1: Keeper of the Lost Cities'']], he welcomed her with open arms. [[Grady]] is a [[Mesmer]] and Sophie gets nervous when he uses his talent. [[Grady]] doesn't like [[Keefe]] and he repeatedly calls him "That Boy" in the later books. He also becomes very protective of Sophie in [[Book 2: Exile|''Exile'']] and in [[Book 3: Everblaze|''Everblaze'']], even going to the length of [[Mesmer]]izing the [[Councillors|Council]] into smacking their faces, because the punishment they gave Sophie for reading the [[King Dimitar|ogre king's]] mind was horrible ([[Dexter Alvin Dizznee|Dex's]] [[Ability Restrictor]]).
 
[[File:Alden Pic.png|thumb|244x244px|Alden Vacker]]
 
* '''[[Alden Vacker|ALDEN]] (friend and father figure)'''
 
[[Alden Vacker|Alden]] is [[Fitzroy Avery Vacker|Fitz]] and [[Biana Vacker|Biana's]] father. Sophie almost always goes to him with problems and concerns and clues on the [[Black Swan]], but she has kept some things from him, like the [[Spyball]] (she was afraid he would take away her only access to her [[Foster (Freeman) Family|human family]]). Alden sent his sons on missions to find Sophie and had received a newspaper article leading him to Sophie. Sophie trusts him and he trusts her. In [[Book 2: Exile|''Exile'']], [[Alden Vacker|Alden]] asked Sophie to be his guide when he performed a [[Memory Break|memory break]] on [[Fintan Pyren|Fintan]]. Sophie was very upset when [[Alden Vacker|Alden's]] mind was broken and she was determined to find a way to save him.
 
* '''[[Mr. Forkle|MR. FORKLE]] (creator/mentor)'''
 
[[Mr. Forkle]] was Sophie's next-door neighbor in the [[Forbidden Cities]]. He was one of the main [[Elves]] involved with tweaking Sophie's DNA and triggered her [[Telepath]]y when she was five. He trained her mentally at night so she would be an exceptional [[Telepath]]. He became quite involved with Sophie's life after she joined the [[Black Swan]] (which is under his guidance). He is the closest thing to a father that Sophie has (besides her [[William David Foster|human father]] and [[Grady]]). In [[Book 5: Lodestar|''Lodestar'']], [[Mr. Forkle]] died after being stabbed by [[Gethen]] in [[Lumenaria]]. Despite Sophie's protests, he said, "This is my [[Swan Song|swan song]]." He commanded her to live her own life, to not let grief break her, and he asked [[Keefe]] to help her. The castle in [[Lumenaria]] was destroyed, almost burying him and [[Councillor Oralie]] alive. He had told [[Oralie]] to "take care of my [[moonlark]]." When Sophie discovered "[[Mr. Forkle|Mr. Forkle's]]" identical twin, she assumed that [[Mr. Forkle]] had not perished and had toyed with her emotions. When she learned about the brothers, she understood his decision and planted his tree. In [[Book 4: Neverseen|''Neverseen'']]'','' he is revealed as both [[Sir Astin]] and [[Magnate Leto]].
 
 
(See also: [[Sophie and Mr. Forkle]])
 
* '''[[Tiergan|TIERGAN]] (telepathy mentor)'''
 
[[Tiergan]] is very supportive of Sophie's [[Telepath]]y training. Despite his dislike for the [[Vacker]] family due to [[Prentice|Prentice's]] [[Memory Break|memory break]], he was the first to pair [[Sophie and Fitz]] together for [[Telepath]]y training because they worked so well together. Sophie calls on [[Tiergan]] when she's in need (like when [[Alden Vacker|Alden's]] mind broke) and trusts him with some of her worries. [[Tiergan]] was later revealed to be [[Granite]], a leading member of the [[Black Swan|Black Swan's]] [[The Collective|Collective]].
 
* '''[[Sandor|SANDOR]] (bodyguard/friend)'''
 
[[Sandor]] is a strong, stubborn [[Goblins|goblin]] who was charged with taking care of Sophie after she was kidnapped. Though he has a prickly exterior, he has a good heart and cares about Sophie. He helps Sophie out during her investigations and does his best to protect her. His voice, according to Sophie, would better suit a bunny rabbit than a goblin bodyguard. In [[Book 5: Lodestar|''Lodestar'']], he was believed to have a crush on [[Grizel]], which she returned. However, he refused her advances because he felt like he needs to be the best soldier possible and she hindered that. In ''[[Flashback]]'', ''Grizel'' admitted she loved Sandor.
 
* '''[[Calla|CALLA]] (former friend and supporter)'''
 
[[Calla]] was a [[Gnomes|gnome]] and a member of the [[Black Swan]]. She was a part of the team that created Sophie. She taught Sophie how to make [[Starkflower Stew|Starkflower stew]] and liked to call Sophie her 'Brave [[Moonlark]]'. She was always there to calm Sophie. In [[Book 4: Neverseen|''Neverseen'']], she willingly became a [[Panakes]] tree to provide a cure for a plague affecting the gnomes. Afterward, Sophie hung out around the tree often and [[Dexter Alvin Dizznee|Dex]] gave Sophie a [[Panakes]] perfume to always remember Calla by. Later Sophie got to know her great-niece, [[Flori]], at [[Havenfield]].
 
* '''[[Jensi Babblos|JENSI]] (friend/[[Sophie and Jensi|possible love interest]])'''
 
[[Jensi]] was the first guy at [[Foxfire]] to come and talk to Sophie. She likes him, but he doesn't hang out with her a lot because he feels a little left out when she is with
 
[[File:JENSIIIIIIIII.png|thumb|225x225px|Jensi Babblos]]
 
the group. [[Jensi]] went back to the "[[Drooly Boys|drooly boys]]" and abandoned the main group eventually. [[Jensi]] was later seen at the training that the [[Exillium|Exillium Coaches]] provided for every [[Lost Cities|Lost City]] citizen, and he was in the same [[Exillium|Hemisphere]] as Sophie, [[Tam Song|Tam]], and [[Linh Song|Linh]] (Ambi).[[File:Sophie postcard front.jpg|thumb|237x237px|Sophie hugging Ella]]
 
* '''[[Ella|ELLA]] (comforting stuffed animal)'''
 
[[Ella]] is Sophie's beloved Hawaiian shirt-wearing blue stuffed elephant that she brought from the human world. Sophie cannot sleep without the bright blue elephant. [[Ella]] comforted Sophie when she had to leave her [[Foster (Freeman) Family|human family]]. (This may have led to her friends receiving other stuffed animals, such as [[Mr. Snuggles]], [[Fitzroy Avery Vacker|Fitz's]] stuffed dragon, [[Mrs. Stinkbottom]], [[Keefe Sencen|Keefe's]] stuffed [[gulon]], and [[Lady Sassyfur]], [[Biana Vacker|Biana's]] stuffed yeti, who used to be named Betty-the-Yeti). In [[Book 6: Nightfall|''Nightfall'']] it is mentioned that her sister [[Amy]] has a similar favorite toy, a stuffed bunny, [[Bun-Bun]].
 
* '''[[Bronte|BRONTE]] (former frenemy/[[Councillors|Councillor]]/Mentor)'''
 
[[Bronte]] was always a mystery. He seemed to hate [[Sophie Elizabeth Foster|Sophie]] throughout the first few books but later became nicer to Sophie and more supportive. He is her [[Inflictors|Inflicting]] [[Mentor]]. In ''[[Legacy]]'', Sophie had though [[Bronte]] was her biological parent because inflicting was very rare and [[Bronte]] was the only other inflictor. [[Bronte]] had very clearly denied this proposition.
 
* '''[[Councillor Kenric Elgar Fathdon|KENRIC]] (former friend/Councillor/supporter)'''
 
[[Kenric]] was another [[Councillors|Councillor]] who has always been supportive of Sophie. He was also suspected to be Sophie’s biological father, and [[Mr. Forkle]] concluded he was not. He was killed at [[Oblivimyre]] when [[Fintan]] ignited [[Everblaze]] to stop Sophie from searching for his memories.
 
* ELWIN
 
 
== Project Moonlark ==
 
Sophie was originally an experiment by the Black Swan to acquire new perspective by having an elf grow up with humans and then come to the Lost Cities. Mr. Forkle monitored her closely during this time, and even handpicked her human family. They designed her to have as many strengths and as few weaknesses as possible. This is why she has so many abilities and also possibly why she has brown eyes.
 
 
The identity of her genetic parents was kept secret from her for a long time, causing her to grow very frustrated with Mr. Forkle. Only in Book 8: Legacy was it revealed that Councillor Oralie is her biological mother. After this revelation she stopped wondering who her biological father is. However, her DNA is not just from her parents. It was also modeled from alicorn DNA, which is why she can teleport and communicate telepathically with Silveny.
 
 
There were a few mistakes that the Black Swan made. Her inflicting and enhancing abilities were malfunctioning, so she had to have them reset through an operation. She's also allergic to limbium, which has never happened to an elf before and made all operations much riskier.

== Character Bio by [[Shannon Messenger]] ==
 
Sophie is the main character of the [[Keeper of the Lost Cities: Series|Keeper of the Lost Cities series]]—a girl caught between two worlds, struggling to fit in and still live up to the complicated role she was created for. Her numerous [[abilities]] are shockingly powerful—especially for someone her age—and she tends to see things differently than everyone else, in large part because of her [[Humans|human]] upbringing. She’s also fierce and brave and never backs down from what she believes is right. And while she may have been an outcast among [[humans]], in the [[Lost Cities]] she’s surrounded by friends and family—which is good because she also has some incredibly powerful enemies and needs all the help she can get.<ref>[https://shannonmessenger.com/characters-bios.html Character Bio by Shannon Messenger]</ref>
