Sofia Knutson-Rossi

She resembled her mother, Luci, so much that many people mistook her for a younger version of her. The only noticeable differences were her slightly rounder face and slightly protruding ears that traced back to her father's side. At just over 5 feet tall, she was smaller in every dimension, making her appear three or four years younger than her actual age. Even after she underwent the process of immortalization, she looked barely 20, adding to her youthful appearance and beauty. However, her petite frame and delicate features belied her strength and determination, which she inherited from both of her parents. She had a sharp mind and a quick wit, and she refused to be underestimated or dismissed because of her size or looks. 

Sofia Knutson-Rossi was born on April 29th, 2025, in a cozy winter home nestled in the hills of the art community of Springville, Utah, USA. Born into the Great Collapse, Sofia's early years were marked by hardship and uncertainty, but her parents' determination and creative spirit shielded her from the worst of it.

After the public school system fell apart, Sofia's parents enrolled her in a home-based education program provided by the Mormon Church, which emphasized a rigorous and traditional curriculum. But Sofia's natural curiosity and love of nature led her to explore beyond the books and screens, and she often accompanied her father on his meteorite expeditions, seeking out the remnants of the galaxy's past.

However, Sofia's true passion lay in the arts, especially painting and sculpting. Her mother, Luca Rossi, was already an established artist and mentor figure in the Provo Art Institute, and Sofia spent much of her time learning from aspiring artists and helping her mother with the day-to-day operations of the Institute. Despite her many talents and accomplishments, Sofia had little interest in romantic relationships, preferring to focus on her art and her studies.

As she approached adulthood, Sofia began to feel a sense of restlessness and discontent, as if something was missing from her life. She yearned for adventure and discovery, but she also felt a sense of detachment and skepticism toward the familiar world she grew up in. Her parents' liberal attitudes and artistic sensibilities had seeped into her consciousness, and she began to question the authority and teachings of the church.

Despite her doubts and struggles, Sofia remained committed to her passions and her desire to make a difference in the world. She used her skills as an artist and a scientist to explore new frontiers and push the boundaries of knowledge and creativity, hoping to find a space where she belonged and a meaning to her existence.
