SOPHIE

Sophie is definitely not your everyday victorian girl. She is a much different child. Rescued from a ship wreck, and found wrapped up warm in what she says-her mum's cello case. Although not having any records, she claims to have been on the ship and her mum to have been a cello player. She was rescued by a man named Charles.

As a girl of this day and age, she finds her eyes fixed to books all day long. She reads books like: Hamlet, A Midsummer Nights Dream and Robinson Crusoe. Being such a bookworm doesn't mean eating your meals on your books, however, its a different story for her...she eats every crumb of food on her books, as she has smashed too many plates.

In any sort of situation this girl always speaks for herself. She will do anything to wear roughly sewn trousers and gets annoyed when people say things about her wearing them (as she is supposed t0 dress like a lady). She is told all the time to wear girly skirts but she never does because she dreads them.

Her hair stands on her head all messy and knotted. It is unkept and uncared of. This is because in Sophies point of view it means nothing. Her pale skin looks like she is ill-she is inside sometimes-when the memories of the shipwreck come back and haunt her. Memories of a fading figure...of the sound of a cello.

Still the lastings of her hope go towards her finding her mother. Hope that her mother is looking for her to and that one day they will reunite. Hoping that the thoughts and nightmares of the shipwreck will disappear when she finds her mum.
