Sophia Amadis
Sophia Amadis
“She’s not on the royal council — yet. But her father listens to her, and so does Sir Beringer, which tells me plenty. If the realm’s to have a future worth living in, we’ll need voices like hers at the table. Maybe not today. But soon.” — Sorek Redmarch, in quiet conversation after session
“She wields knowledge like a blade—precise, sharp, and with devastating effect. House Amadis is fortunate to have her.” - A Scholar of PelorBorn: 1209 Current Year: 1230 Age: 21 Title: Lady of House Amadis, Scholar of Pelor Race: Human Gender: Female
Appearance
Sophia Amadis is a striking figure, standing at 5'9" but with a slender frame, weighing just 110 lbs. Her intelligent, calculating eyes seem to miss nothing, and she carries herself with a calm and collected air. Often dressed in practical yet elegant clothing suited to her scholarly pursuits, Sophia’s presence is commanding despite her lack of physical training.Personality and Values
Calm, cool, and cerebral, Sophia is the intellectual cornerstone of House Amadis. While her elder brother Amadis the Younger excelled as a knight and tactician, splitting his focus between combat and scholarship, Sophia was allowed to devote herself fully to academic pursuits. She is fiercely loyal to her family and deeply respects her father, Count Amadis Blackbriar, though she sometimes feels the weight of being compared to his legendary intellect.“My brother is a champion of the lance. My father is a master of strategy. I am the bridge between the two, building their victories on foundations of precision and knowledge.”Her photographic memory and intense focus allow her to master complex subjects quickly. Fluent in two elvish dialects, Old Sueloise, Gnomish, Dwarvish, Hin, and two Goblin patois, she excels in mathematics, administration, architecture, and siege theory.
Skills and Expertise
“Pelor’s light is not just for prayer—it is a guide for those willing to learn.”
Combat Training
While not a warrior, Sophia has received formal training in spear, short sword, dwarven boxing, and combat fan techniques. This training ensures she can defend herself if necessary, but she has never seen battle and does not consider herself a fighter.“Victory is not won by strength alone. It is calculated, measured, and earned.”
Relationships
“Lyosha challenges me in ways no book or lecture ever could. I didn’t expect to find inspiration in a person—but perhaps that is Pelor’s light at work.”
Recent Developments
Sophia’s budding relationship with Lyosha has surprised many, including herself. She is navigating the complexities of her growing affection for him while balancing her scholarly pursuits and responsibilities to her family. Meanwhile, her deepening expertise in religious texts has begun to reveal insights into matters that could prove pivotal for House Amadis. Some whisper that her intellect might eclipse even her father’s in time, making her a critical asset to the family’s future.“Knowledge builds the foundation; courage builds the walls.”

After being on the receiving end of many of Sophia's barbed comments Sir Beringer has taken to affectionately referring to her as "Noldo Kysa" meaning "Wise Brat" in elvish.
History
After several strained first meetings the two were finally able to bond when a young Sophia fell and hurt herself while running in the halls of Castle Blackbriar. Before anyone else could reach Sophia, Elizaveta had gently scooped up the crying girl. Elizaveta was able to comfort the crying girl as Countess Anna watched. The two would soon build a strong sisterly bond with Sophia being the little sister Elizaveta always wanted. Later everyone would find out the young Sophia had thought Elizaveta was some kind of cold pale ghost or ice princess haunting her.
