Sofia Prinston

Sofia is the main character in the book.

Sofia is the younger sister of Ryan who is deceased. She is also the childhood friend of Joshua, also known as Tristan.

She suffers from anxiety, OCD, and clinical depression.

Sofia comes from a dysfunctional family, a family who saw potential in her but neglected the brother she loved so dearly. Sofia's parents abandoned Ryan in an orphanage when he was 6 years old and she 3 years.

Sofia has pale skin, slim build, light blue eyes and long brown hair with straight bangs. She stands 1,70. She often dresses in skinny black jeans, tank top, and ballerinas. She wears her hair in a ponytail or with a hairband when loose. When she is in her school uniform, she wears her blazer over her school shirt, and her skirt extends, but later on, she tightens her skirt and wears her shirt without the blazer.

She loves the color, Bordeaux.

She is obsessed with heat and is often cold due to her anemia.

She used to be friends with benefits with her best friend she knowns since kindergarten Kyle Suttenick

Even when Kyle moved to Brooklyn, he and Sofia stayed in contact. Although she considers him her closest friend, he is under the impression her brother studies abroad to become a doctor as they have better education for his profession in Australia.

She befriends Megan Mcguire as soon as she moves to Brooklyn and attends its secondary vocational education.

And she befriends Valerie Lin later on as she at first finds her loud and bossy personality annoying.

Sofia admired Ryan and looked up to him and eventually also up to Joshua. But after Ryan's suicide and the letters he left to Sofia and Joshua, their relationship changed. Sofia was 12 and Joshua was 15. After Joshua discovered that Ryan took his own life, he fled the orphanage and joined a gang he met months before that day. He never spoke to Sofia and this causes bitterness. Sofia felt abandoned and left alone since she couldn't go to her parents for comfort as they never really cared about their son. Sofia got isolated and withdrawn to cope and mourn. She has always kept this resentment towards Joshua until she heard he is becoming a rapper, living wealthy, doing drugs, and seemingly has no care in the world while she is still stuck at losing the one person who understood her and cared for her. She felt lost ever since and her own mental problems began growing. She became anxious, OCD to cope with the inner turmoil and depression.

After having no support from her parents, she moved to Brooklyn to live by herself at age 18 where Kyle moved to a year earlier than her.

Sofia starts dating sophomore Carter Poppei after he showed interest.
