* tell us a little about yourself.

Well my name is Sophie Erika White. Some people will call me Soph, though. I'm your basic twenty five year old I suppose. I get to celebrate my next birthday on February seventh. It tends to snow a lot on my birthday. That's just a random observation. I'm in between jobs at the moment, but I previously worked at a bakery and that was pretty fun. Oh and a funny story. I was walking down the street the other day and someone told me I looked like Bridget Regan. I think that's pretty awesome. I'm addicted to Legend of the Seeker. I was born and raised in London. I came to Walten to visit some family, and to kind of get away from this guy that I'm confused about. He's really sweet and all but I just don't know.

* what are some of your positive traits?

I'm an environmentalist, and in this day, I think that's something that everyone should be. There's a lot about the environment that we need to protect and watch. Humans make the biggest mark on this planet. We're supposedly the most intelligent creatures on this planet. It's time we start acting like it and take care of the place that we live in. We can't afford to be ignorant like Adam Smith and his obviously flawed 'never ending resource theory.'

I am thoroughly domestic. I have to have things be neat and clean; so, I don't mind cleaning. In fact, if there's a lot of dust, I end up grabbing a towel or a swiffer and I dust. I have this intense organizational system in my whole apartment. If someone tries to mess with it, I kind of tend to bite their head off. Just don't mess with it. I can also sew and mend clothes and the like. I just keep mending my clothes most of the time. I'm not one for shopping: so, I just tend to mend the clothes that I already have until they can't be salvaged anymore. My baking skills far outmatch my sewing capabilities though. I love to bake. Ironically, I'm amazing at baking pies even though I'm allergic to apples. I've been told I make a damn good apple pie, even though I can't eat them myself.

I'm always up for helping others. That sounds like such a Miss World Pageant answer, but it's actually true for me. I'm always there for a friend if they need me. I will seriously always be there for them. I mean I don't think that I'd ever commit a crime for them . . . but then again I've never been asked to so I'm not entirely sure. I would hope that I'd have the common sense not to, but you never know with me. I can be a bit of a push over.

* what are some things that you can improve on?

I can be like a complete pushover. I'm not going to lie. I have a problem saying no. I just don't want to let anyone down or anything like that. It's a big problem when it comes to friends. Maybe it's because I care too much? I know this makes me sound like another Miss World contestant, but it's hard for me to explain. I mean it's not like I can't even say no to perfect strangers because I can. But if I care about you, or consider you my friend, chances are if you ask, I won't say no.

Along with not being able to say the word no, I also am way too trusting. I seriously trust everyone that I meet even if I shouldn't. I just give the benefit of the doubt to most people. For example, if some hobo on the street asks me for a dollar, I'll probably give it to him thinking that he really needs it even though he might just turn around and go buy another scratch off ticket or something.

You know those people who can get lost in a paper bag or something like that? Yeah well I make them seem like a top notch navigator. I cannot find my way like anywhere. I have to go somewhere at least five or six times before I can find it on my own. It's seriously pathetic i know that but it's like I don't know. I try to pay attention to where I'm going but then something goes horribly wrong and then I end up getting lost. I mean that's rather pathetic, but it kind of makes me, me.

I am twenty five years old and I am afraid of the dark. There I admit it. I get frightened easily and the shadows in the dark and not being able to see in the dark kind of just freaks me out a lot. Even simple things will freak me out like thunder still scares me from time to time. I have a fear of heights and being lost to the point that no body will find me and I'm kind of afraid of being abducted even though I am twenty five years old and the possibility is kind of unlikely.

* what's your biggest secret? we won't tell.

I already sort of let them slip but I am afraid of silly things. I try and hide that, but I tend to fail a lot. Another one is that I'm allergic to apples. Now that just sounds so silly. I don't like admitting that because people are normally like "really? How can you be allergic to apples?" So I just tend to avoid that unless it's absolutely necessary.

* what does your heart want?

Oh are we really going to talk about love? Well if so then I guess we'll start with the ideal. I really am waiting for that perfect guy to come into my life and sweep me off my feet. I want the charm, the looks, the fairy tale meeting the whole nine yards. So if you're going to look like a slob and not treat me like a princess, well treat me horrendously, then it's just not going to work. Oh yeah so if you couldn't guess, I'm only looking for Prince Charming. I don't need some Damsel in Distress to come courting me. I'm distressed enough as it is. I don't need someone else adding to it.

* what do you do in your spare time?

Well I'm not this overtly social person. I guess you could call me a little bit sheltered. So I tend to do one person activities. No sports for me. I like to bake and due to my crazy organizational tendencies, I do enjoy cleaning and organizing when I have to do it. I like to sing to myself. I don't take any lessons or things like that, and I do not perform for others. It's more of a personal thing. When I hear a good song on the radio, I can't help but sing and sometimes dance along with it. I'm such a strangely dull person.

* so what does your family life look like?

Ok well I live on my own in my apartment in town. I haven't lived with the family since I graduated college. I have some very interesting neighbors that live on my floor. They're all rather funny and emotional . . . well some of them are. There's this one that's a real grouch, but I know that he's really just a sweat heart deep down.

I have my dad, who had always meant well when he was my dad, but sometimes just didn't get the concept. He really tried his hardest and for that I love him to pieces. He was in the military and wanted me to have a mother figure which I think is the real reason that he married my step-mom. I don't think that he really loved her enough to ever actually enjoy being married to her but that's just my opinion. He's an amazing man who would do anything for me though. So while he wasn't around as much as a 'normal' dad, he still did everything that he could for me, and that's enough.

So then there's my step mother. I guess she's ok. I mean I don't hate her, but I don't love her either. She's just sort of there in my life, especially now. I mean I don't thinks he really ever wanted a daughter and was only interested in my father and not the daughter that she was getting as sort of like a bonus or I guess I was just baggage in her case. Well I don't know what else to say really about her. She bought me really cute shoes once when I was a kid.

* what are the memorable moments in your life?

Ok so you know that fun little allergy that I mentioned earlier? Yeah well it almost killed me once! Someone thought it would be funny to switch glasses with me without telling me and I ended up drinking a glass of apple juice! My throat closed up and everything. It was not a fun experience to go through in the middle of your high school cafeteria. Well it's not a fun experience anywhere, but the fact that it happened in high school is especially mortifying.

I met my step mother at the age of thirteen. I didn't realize that this woman was going to work into my life the way that she did but she did and I guess I'm a better person for it. I just remember meeting this woman thinking, who the hell does she think she is coming into my life and my father's life and acting like she's going to run things. It was an interesting experience to say the least. Anyway, yes meeting my step mother was definitely a day that I will not forget.

I loved the day that I moved into my own apartment here in Walten. It was such a freeing experience. I've been here about a month now, but I do love it. I don't live close enough to my parents that I'm seeing them too often and by them I mean my step mother. I would love to spend more time with my father. Anyway back to the apartment. I love it. I'm still adding to it and it's getting gradually more lived in, but it's still just so awesome, and I love it.

* so we've heard that you're a lot like snow white

name: Sophie because it begins with an is and it has the 'o' sound in Snow. White is her last name because the name of the character is Snow White.
play by: Bridget Regan has the three physical characteristics that defined Snow White: Dark ebony hair, skin as white as snow, and the red lips.
positive traits: Snow White liked animals which connects to Sophie's love of the environment and everything in it. In the movie, there was a whole number that was dedicated to the cleaning and cooking of the dwarf's cottage. So, Sophie needs to keep everything neat and orderly. She can also bake, and it was clear that Snow White could bake since she was seen making a pie in the movie. Finally her willingness to always help a friend. She was always there to take care of and help the dwarfs in any situation.
negative traits: Directionally challenged comes from Snow White getting lost in the forest. Easily scared comes from how she was scared of even the trees in the forest while she was lost. The inability to say no comes from always doing what her step mother the Evil Queen said even though it was clearly unfair to her. The too trusting comes from the fact that she easily fell for the Queens trick as a hag.
orientation: she had a prince in the end so therefore i made her straight.
turn ons: She wants the story book romance because in the movie she was always singing about how she was waiting for her prince to come.
turn offs: her turn offs are basically the opposite of what she was idealizing in her songs and what is against her nature.
spare time: snow didn't do much in the movie, but i got the singing and dancing with the dwarves as well as the cooking and cleaning ect.
family life: her mother died when she was born which accounts for her mothers entire absence in the movie. It's never said why her father is gone so I thought that instead of orphaning the poor girl that it would be better to say that he was off in the military which could equate to Snow White's father off defending the kingdom. At the age of thirteen, she gets a step mother who isn't too fond of Sophie because in the movie Snow White was around the age of thirteen so I think it would be a good time for Sophie's step mother to enter into her life.
memorable moments: the severe allergic reaction came from the poisoning from the apple. When she met her step mother was another one that I chose because Snow's step mother had an influence on her life Finally buying her own apartment was what I chose because she's then free from her step mother like Snow is eventually in the end when she gets to go off to the prince's new kingdom.
