Tell us about Sofiya. ^^ please. What are her likes, her dislikes? What do she and Layton have in common?

ODJRJFHEDH THMKS SO MUCH FOR THE ASK!!!😭😭🙌 I'm glad folks still want to know about my OCs even though I rarely post about them hhhh💀

Sofiya, despite being an actual werewolf, can often be described as a rather plain person, as she finds comfort in the most mundane activities, such as reading and yoga. She likes practicing many different spiritual awareness exercises(aka meditation) that help her regulate her emotions and find balance within herself and her Wolf. Though she doesn't like being outside in the rain, Sofiya enjoys watching and listening to the rain from inside. She finds it an ethereal experience that can cleanse her mind from time to time. Besides her obvious devotion to God(which she may or not have changed or at least questioned after the Straub Lane debacle), Sofiya's other passions include music(she's most especially fond of choir, piano and violin), the arts(LOVES novels, films and theatrical productions, specifically of the romance/tragedy variety), and she positively geeks out over old Victorian architecture(she loves to feed her brain with knowledge of ancient buildings and the people who lived in them, also the Victorian era alone is something she finds interesting)

Sofiya absolutely HATES crowds and loud noises, makes her anxiety even worse and even more likely to unexpectedly transform. Any mention of her family or her hometown can also easily set her on edge. Her christianity is a touchy subject for her as well, as years worth of religious trauma had her questioning a lot of things regarding her beliefs and morals; though she still wants to believe in God, she'll never be able to erase her parents' abuse from her mind. But the thing Sofiya loathes most of all is being called a "beast", a "monster", a "demon" or anything of the like. Those are things she's s been called all of her life, and sometimes it becomes too much for her to bare. Once she and Hershel started dating, they kept their relationship private for some time, for Sofiya's own comfort. They only told certain people that Hershel absolutely trusted with the information, people that he knew wouldn't judge either of them. One of Sofiya's biggest fears is her partner being ostracized for dating a werewolf, being shunned and mocked by everyone around him, and possibly even worse. She couldn't bare the thought of her lover becoming an outcast and being labeled a "freak" like herself. Sofiya also fears of accidentally hurting the ones she loves, were she to ever lose control of her Wolf; she doesn't think she could live with herself were that to happen.

The main thing that Hershel and Sofiya have in common is the immense amount of trauma they endured throughout their lifetime. Though they didn't exactly share the same experiences, the two often confide in each other and can relate to each other's pain on some level. They both tend to be rather closed off from others emotionally and always put other's needs first. They're both very traditional altruistic lovers; Hershel always trying to be a true gentleman to his lady, while Sofiya wants to be a good, reliable girlfriend and service her partner in any way she can(she was raised with the inherently sexist belief that women should always service the man in a relationship). This often ends up with having "battles of politeness" as well as small arguments about what "traditional couples" should be. The two also share a love for the simpler things in life; beautiful autumn afternoons, a delicious warm cup of tea, a good book, a pleasant stroll through the park, etc. For these two, any peaceful, quiet moment in each other's presence makes for splendid memories. Once they find their eyes upon each others, it's feels as though all their troubles melt away in an instant. In those moments, they didn't care what other's thought about their relationship. Why should they? At the end of the day, they were both still people. They shouldn't have to worry about what everyone thought or said about them. They love each other, and that's all that mattered.
