Sofia

---

Synopsis:

While all dragons devoted to the Lightweaver seek to find the truth, many prefer to find it in the historical artifacts that saturate the Sunbeam Ruins or in old weathered tomes chock full of the theories and wisdoms of dragons long gone. Sofia, however, took a different path with her life much more in line with the methodology of the Arcane flight. She turned to uncovering the world and its truths around her through the pursuit of science, applying the theoretical knowledge that she grew up reading about in the many libraries that dotted her homeland to the physical reality around her. Through her experiments she sought to find the reason behind the order of the universe, how the universe sustains itself with so much opposing energy constantly cancelling each other out.

After returning from a trip she'd made to the Starfall Isles to learn more about true science and how she might properly use it, she led a small research team in the center of the Sunbeam Ruins devoted to the study of physics. Specifically, the principles of Thermodynamics. Her team achieved modest success with their research, enough to put some pride in their wearied minds and open up new avenues of questioning for future research, and after a period of time Sofia and her friends settled in a small village on the outskirts of the Hewn City to enjoy their retirements. Sofia, ever opportunistic, took up the task of establishing a school there- the first school to grace the grounds of Shady Grove- that emphasized theory just as much as its practical applications and included teaching from books from the Arcane as well as Light flight.

In character, Sofia is pragmatic and level headed. Her success in her field is not necessarily based on wits but on knowing what question to ask next and how best to test it. She is excellent at adjusting to unexpected results or errors during lab with profound common sense which has saved many an experiment gone awry- and thus, many funds from being wasted. She presents herself as competent and dependable despite her speech "impediment" as a coatl and strives to make herself seem approachable and easy to communicate with. She is always willing to give her time to help resolve an issue or answer a question, no matter how long it takes, and does so with compassion and a genuine desire to bring others closer together and to learn. Thus, while she's certainly not the most intelligent, Sofia garners a lot of respect from her peers and a leadership position in her team.
