Sophie is a resident of Portia with whom the player can develop a friendship. She is the farmer living just outside of Portia Town with her granddaughter, Emily. She is the owner of Sophie's Ranch. She grows large fields of golden wheat, and also raises chickens and ducks.
One can see her farm from afar when leaving the Workshop. She has a little shop called Sophie's Ranch. Sophie can usually be found at her shop or with her animals in the fenced area by her shop.
Background
Sophie is one of the oldest people in Portia. She moved to this place almost 50 years ago. Her husband used to explore the nearby Peripheries until his passing. Because her son wanted to live in a larger city, Sophie ran her ranch by herself until Emily's birth. She's loved by the citizens of Portia and has a very special bond with her granddaughter.
Personal life
Sophie was born on Spring of Day 28.
50 years ago from current day, Sophie moved to Portia to run the ranch by herself until Emily's birth. She also sells a wide variety of farming supplies and food ingredients at her ranch. Her Pumpkin Pie is considered to be the best pie in the world. Sophie is one of the oldest people living in Portia.
Due to her elderly age, Sophie's memory has dwindled to the point that she forgets to feed the animals, according to Emily.
Physical appearance
She is an elderly woman with white hair, which she wears in a bun on the back of her head. Sophie wears a striped orange top and teal skirt underneath a white and blue striped apron, with teal arm warmers. She also wears large golden hoop earrings and round orange glasses.
Related characters
Sophie lives with her granddaughter, Emily. She is also buddies with McDonald, her neighbor from the ranch next door.

Desires
The following items are desires, or wishes, which are randomly assigned to one or two characters per week. The player is required to be at least at Associate level with Sophie for them to be assigned a desire. Some characters may desire an item that they do not normally like.
In the event that Sophie has a desire, gifting the wanted item will provide the higher tier points; otherwise, on non-desired events, the item gives the base point value. The birthday or festival day relationship bonus applies when gifting a desired item.

Relic trade
Sophie occasionally uses the Relic Pieces Exchange board at the Museum to trade for relic pieces. Sophie likes to look at particular completed relics, so after the player has donated such relics to the Museum or displayed them in their yard, Sophie may come visit the Museum or the player's yard to view these relics. Such visits will earn the player relationship points each time, with the amount dependent upon the relic.
