Sophie grew up in a small town in the UK, where the rolling hills and quaint streets felt both comforting and suffocating. As a teenager, she was drawn to a group of friends who promised excitement and an escape from the mundane. At first, it felt exhilarating—late-night parties, laughter, and an intoxicating sense of freedom. But as the months slipped by, the thrill morphed into a darker reality. Sophie found herself spiraling into a world of drugs and reckless behaviour, leading to her expulsion from school and a shattered relationship with her family.

After hitting rock bottom, Sophie made a brave decision to start anew. She packed her bags and moved to Woodcrest, hoping to leave behind the shadows of her past. The transition was anything but easy. The vibrant campus and bustling energy felt overwhelming, and she often found solace in the quiet corners of the library, surrounded by the familiar comfort of books.

Sophie enrolled in psychology, fascinated by the intricacies of the mind and the struggles she had faced. Although she was introverted, her passion for understanding others slowly helped her open up. Once someone cracked her shell, they discovered a vibrant personality filled with quirky humour and a love for deep conversations.

Her favorite escape remained the Harry Potter series, especially the darker themes that resonated with her. She often found herself relating to characters like Snape and Bellatrix, drawn to their complexities and struggles. She embraced her love for Gothic aesthetics, often dressing in flowing dark dresses and vintage accessories that mirrored her inner world.

While Sophie may seem tucked away and hidden at first glance, her journey of self-discovery has made her resilient. With each day at Woodcrest, she learns to balance her past with her new identity, slowly transforming from a girl who once felt lost to a young woman determined to find her place in the world, one connection at a time.
