'''Princess Sofia''' is the titular protagonist of the [[Disney Junior]] animated television series ''[[Sofia the First]]''. She is a little girl with a commoner's background, until her mother marries the King of [[Enchancia]] and she becomes a princess. Sofia learns that looking like a princess is not all that hard, but behaving like one can come only from the heart. She is the only daughter of Birk Balthazar and [[Queen Miranda|Miranda]], King Roland's stepdaughter, and the younger stepsister of [[Princess Amber|Amber]] and [[Prince James|James]].
 
Sofia is a little girl with a commoner's background until her mother marries the King of [[Enchancia]] and she suddenly becomes royalty. Sofia learns that looking like a princess isn't all that hard, but behaving like one must come from the heart.

{{Quote|Once, there was a young girl named Sofia. She lived in the village with her mother, Miranda, and was happy, but missed her father, a sailor, who had been lost at sea.|The First Story Keeper|Forever Royal}}
Sofia is a sweet and adorable young girl of humble origins who lives with her mother Miranda. (Her biological father is absent for unknown reasons.) She becomes royalty after her mother's remarriage to [[King Roland II]]. Being new to the entire princess legacy, Sofia attends the Royal Prep Academy where [[Flora, Fauna and Merryweather]] teach her about what being a princess is all about. However, Sofia is caught between two messages - is being a princess about the fancy dress or the power of love?

Sofia is a young girl who lived in a village with her mother, [[Queen Miranda|Miranda]]. She had a father, but he got lost at sea. She becomes royal after her mother's remarriage to the [[King Roland II|King]]. Being new to the entire Princess legacy, Sofia attends the Royal Prep Academy where [[Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather]] show her the ropes about what being a Princess is all about. However, Sofia is caught between two messages—is being a Princess about material goods or having a good heart? It is up to her animals, led by Clover the rabbit, and a powerful, magical amulet, to set her on the path of the heart.
   
 
===Personality===
 
===Personality===
  +
Sofia is shown to have a two-sided personality: One side is that of a softhearted idealist. Sofia is shown to be very kind and compassionate. She is also shown to be loyal to her loved ones to the point of altruism. She is also willing to befriend people the large majority refuse to have anything to do with. She also believes in keeping promises no matter what. She also shows her affections by giving her loved ones warm hugs. She also believes that something being trouble free and being a happy something are the same thing.
While cute and beautiful, Sofia is rather clumsy, but has a pure heart. Since she was originally a mere commoner, she retains a very carefree personality and was once seen to enjoy sliding down the rails of the staircase. Her outcast-like behavior often puts her at odds with her stepsister Amber, who was apparently jealous of Sofia due to her social talents. Often times, the firm Hildegarde is a little thrown off by her vivacious persona. She can be quite gullible when around [[Cedric the Sorcerer]]. Being new to the royal game, she often lets Amber tow her around and must be brought to her senses by Miranda. Sofia and Amber clash due to Amber loving large events while Sofia prefers quaint things like the maze of secret gardens. They also, most dramatically, have different views on the value of looks and other material things. Sofia prefers the power of the heart, while Amber is more focused on physical value. This makes them two completely different types of princess and will most likely lead to two completely different paths as they grow.
 
  +
  +
The other side of her personality is that of a hard-headed pragmatist. Sofia is shown to be a precocious girl who believes the proof is in the pudding. This fuels a side of her that is very investigative and skeptical. She tends to try to juggle more than she can handle, especially when it comes to her friends, and value making herself as multifaceted as possible. This side also gives her trust issues that make her go off on her own without telling anybody and keep secrets from everyone except her Aunt Tilly and her mermaid friend, Princess Oona.
   
  +
There is a smaller third part of Sofia's personality that she tries to hide: Her vulnerable, scared, and worried part. Many times Sofia's vulnerable side has made her question if she truly belongs with her royal friends and family. She has a tendency to question her own self-worth and if she can handle being a princess. While she doesn't get scared often, when she does she will lose some of her confidence, which can cause trouble for her.
Due to past magical experiences, Sofia is usually very careful and hesitant when using active [[magic]], respecting its power and what it's capable of whether it's done correctly or incorrectly.
 
   
 
===Physical Appearance===
 
===Physical Appearance===
  +
Sofia is a beautiful young girl with fair skin, rosy cheeks, thin pink lips, light blue eyes, and shoulder-length wavy auburn hair (that she sometimes ties in a ponytail).
Sofia is a young girl with shoulder-length wavy auburn hair. She has fair skin with rosy cheeks and large light blue eyes. Sofia's prominent princess gown has a lilac color and comes with a crystal tiara inset with diamonds and pearls, which also decorate her dress. Around her neck, she wears the royal family's amulet called the Amulet of Avalor, which gives her powers for deeds of pure good, the only ones she currently has being the ability to talk to animals and do shape-shifting, though the amulet also curses her when she does something bad, such as making her croak when she bragged about singing the Enchancia Anthem to her friends.
 
   
  +
She usually wears a princess gown of a lilac bodice trimmed in two lines of pearls down the front and along the neckline and wings on the skirt, a pearl-hemmed and studded lilac petaled skirt with a row of great lace drops and trumpets each arranged like a four-leaf clover or cross on a nimbus, and a yellowish petticoat with a lilac band; a swirly tiara inset with pink sapphires, white pearls, and a turquoise diamond; violet slippers with bows and mid heels; and the royal family's Amulet of Avalor, a huge fire opal drop cabochon on a swirly silver backing topped with three sapphires and on a silver necklace wrapped over amethyst beans. In the pilot for her debutante ball, her dress had elaborate lacework on the shoulders and fourteen scrolls and terminal clover leaves about each nimbus.
===Powers & Abilities===
 
Although a young girl, Sofia has displayed various skills, abilities, and magical potential.
 
*'''The [[Amulet of Avalor]]''': This magical amulet, gifted to her by her [[King Roland II|stepfather]], grants Sofia the power to talk to animals (for which the amulet blessed her when she helped a baby bird back into its nest). Without the amulet, however, Sofia loses the ability to understand her animal friends when her amulet was stolen by a baby griffin. When she brags about her singing at the Harvest Festival, the amulet temporarily ruins her voice, making her have bouts of croaking until she made things right which breaks the curse. When she helps Oona the mermaid out of a fishnet, the amulet blesses her with shape-shifting capabilites, specifically into becoming a mermaid, including the ability to breathe underwater. The Amulet gives Sofia good luck, allowing her to accomplish challenges such as joining the Flying Derby. Hugo correctly suspects that luck got her in, though Sofia does not believe this to be true. Sofia started off wearing the Amulet merely to keep Roland's promise, though she did think it was lovely at the start. But only after it was briefly stolen by the baby griffin did Sofia begin to truly appreciate it. When Amber seeks it, Sofia reveals that it is powerful. By the time Miss Nettle seeks it, Sofia uses the promise as an excuse for not removing the Amulet and giving it to her, when her true reason is that it has become important to her.
 
*'''Flying Horseriding''': In "[[Just One of the Princes]]", Sofia tried out for the Royal Prep Flying Derby team, with [[Minimus]] as her steed. After hard work and training, she managed to win her spot on the team, and became a skilled flying horse-rider. She uses those skills later to rescue Clover from [[Boswell]], then to chase Wormwood, the latter event occurring in her regular dress. This begins her fondness for sporting events, such as the Tri-Kingdom Picnic. Sofia has also been revealed to be a good gymnast, adventurer, and mountain-climber.
 
*'''[[Magic]]''': In "[[Cedric's Apprentice]]", Sofia began lessons in magic and sorcery, first having trouble with a spell to turn things into rubies. But with her temporary sorcery-teacher, [[Cedric the Sorcerer]], she soon masters the ability to cast spells although it requires a wand. This comes in handy later when she frees the headmistresses from their bubble. However, after her first try at spell-casting when she put everyone attending her first ball to sleep, she remains cautious about bold magical attempts, even in measuring magical plant food. However, her skill has greatly increased, allowing her to break a bubble trapping the headmistresses in one try. As Cedric's apprentice, Sofia got to clean Cedric's books, enabling her to know of a few spells, such as one concerning animal-human transformation that came up when she later turned into a cat. In a rare exception of recklessness around magic, Sofia tested Cedric's new Duplication Spell on herself, despite Clover advising her to copy the apple she had tried it out on first four or five more times. This recklessness led to the creation of Sofia the Worst.
 
*'''Swordsmanship''': In "[[Baileywick's Day Off]]", during a game of pirates, Sofia displayed competent skills with a sword (albeit a toy one) to keep her brother James on his toes and even disarm him. Given Royal Prep offers fencing lessons, Sofia probably learned there or she received a tutor. Wand work also requires similar arm movements, which could also add to explanation of her skill.
 
*'''Various Buttercup Girl Scout Skills''': As a Buttercup Scout, Sofia has learned many outdoor skills, such as wood-gathering, identifying various herbs, survival skills, etc.
 
*'''Leadership''': Sofia displayed potential and competency as a leader, when she led her fellow Buttercups in making a sled so they could hurry an ill Baileywick to get treatment at the castle. When Roland was lost in a snowstorm, she ordered the animals of the woods to find him and bring back proof. When rescuing Clover from Boswell, she used strategy with Mia, Robin, Crackle and Minimus, tricking Boswell into choosing her for a magic trick and repeatedly impeding him from holding on to Clover for long until Crackle shook him off for good with a fiery blast. When defeating Miss Nettle with Cedric, she begins to develop her cunning by using Clover's chewing ability with Wormwood's wings to get a spare wand for Cedric when his original wand is damaged, then uses his Morpho Mirrors trick to trap Miss Nettle. When the island she is having a picnic with her mother and siblings is levitated, her quick wit is used again when she tries to pull them down to a neighboring island with her allies and a rope. Sofia, however, often has difficulty seeing other people's viewpoints, but if she knows those views and abilities, she uses them well to her advantage. She also, especially with Amber, is good at winning arguments over opinions on how things should be run. Sofia has recently proven to be good at thinking through how to solve difficult tasks, such as finding the answer to an ogre's riddle, then at figuring out how to make a good science project without Hocus Crocus. When James becomes king for a day, she proves to be a competent royal adviser. Sofia, unlike James, easily takes advice and learns well from experience. Her physical prowess improves after taking Roland's advice and running a race course as a cat in "When You Wish Upon A Well." However, when around figures of authority, even her siblings, Sofia can be overpowered.
 
*'''Sofia's Heart''': Many times, Sofia has shown compassion, kindness and resolve, all of which have helped her overcome the challenges that she has faced as a princess, as well as helping others. She never gives up, always finds a way to succeed and the goodness of her heart has helped others in ways that only kindness and patience can. Her heart is her most prized feature, valued by her allies, especially Fauna and Clover. Her corset and tiara, as well as her chest with her possessions that she had as a cobbler's daughter, have heart designs. Her heart, like all gifts, has its downsides - Sofia is sensitive and emotional, overreacting at times. She can also be very selfless when it is unrequired. One of her biggest weaknesses is that though she asks why things are the way they are, she does not want her own world to change. This becomes clear in her feeling left out when Ruby and Jade play with Amber. It links to her being very protective and possessive of people and things she values. Sofia can be flexible, but it is hard to do. Sofia wants to please everyone and make the best impression, making her vulnerable to peer pressure. She dislikes being alone, for when she is alone, her inner vulnerability often surfaces. Despite being claimed as independent, Flora's drawing of her in RPA to help her learn the school motto shows a significantly different outcome for her in the end. Sofia is selflessly willing to help Amber out after she cheats in the RPA Halloween costume contest by using Cedric's magic and needs the Amulet of Avalor to remove her butterfly wings, for instance. Sofia's heart does not blind her cunning, which she uses to guide the cowardly Desmond and discover Amber's sudden desire for the amulet. Despite appearing to be gullible around Cedric, Sofia is very intuitive of trouble when Miss Nettle is around. Sofia's heart has led to her favoring group over individual effort, as shown in her dislike of her friends' competitive behavior in "Enchanted Science Fair." It has also helped her handle dangerous animals with the Amulet by talking to them, as shown in her mediating with Wilbur the Wombeast and the Jade Jaguar.
 
   
  +
During ''[[disney:Elena_and_the_Secret_of_Avalor|Elena and the Secret of Avalor]]'', her amulet has turned pink and her dress turned into a violet gown like when she was a commoner, her Derby outfit, and sorceress robe, where her bodice now has white vines on a pink front between the only lines of pearls each clustered with eight smaller pearls and her sheer overskirt has shafts of four spade-like pairs of tendrils against beams all greater below the next over 15 drops arranged as daisy petals over the violet skirt with three white fan stripes between each shaft. She also wears purple slippers and white stockings. But earlier the Disney websites featured her in an intermediate glittery outfit of the purple skirt with opalescent clover-nimbus motif, pink petticoat, and violet bow-tie slippers, and stockings and a purple amulet, which she did not wear in the crossover, but more often in the episodes since "[[The Bamboo Kite]]". So both of her special outfits in the television specials did not become employed regularly instead of the simpler ones. Sofia's promotional art and merchandise broadly depart on the dress and amulet.
===[[My Disney Experience]] Official Description===
 
Sofia the First is finding out what being royal's all about. She's excited to become the best princess she can be!
 
   
  +
When she goes on outings, she usually wears a violet equestrian suit for riding, of a cap with bow, jacket, trousers, and boots, but her shirt is lilac like her flying horse, [[Minimus]]. When she has a [[Buttercups]] meeting, she wears what essentially looks like a Girl Scouts uniform of the 1960s which, much like the [[Fireside Girls]] in ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'', has a beret with emblem, shirt, and skirt here of shades of yellow, but with uniform tan vests of badges, tan shoes, and red socks. Each Buttercup has also worn a green or red backpack. Otherwise when Sofia travels on foot she wears a long dress with three stripes at the bottom, a thick coat, sometimes a bow, and a narrow-brimmed hat with a head strap and a band with her tiara emblem.

===Powers and Abilities===
  +
Although a young girl, Sofia has displayed various skills, abilities, and magical potential.
  +
*'''The [[Amulet of Avalor]]:''' This magical amulet, gifted to her by her [[King Roland II|stepfather]], grants Sofia the power to talk to animals (for which the amulet blessed her when she helped a baby bird back into its nest). When she helps Oona the mermaid out of a fishnet, the amulet blesses her with the ability to transform into a mermaid and gain everything that comes with it, including the ability to breathe underwater. The Amulet also gives her the ability to shrink herself at will; she can even shrink what she is wearing to scale. Her most recent ability is to transform into any animal or mythic being she sees. It also summons the Disney Princesses when she needs help.
  +
*'''Flying Horse-riding:''' Sofia tried out for the Royal Prep Flying Derby team in "[[Just One of the Princes]]", with [[Minimus]] as her steed. After hard work and training, she managed to win her spot on the team, and became a skilled flying horse-rider. She uses those skills later to rescue Clover from [[w:c:sofia:Boswell|Boswell]], then to chase Wormwood, the latter event occurring in her regular dress. This leads to James desiring her as his teammate. Her skills have grown to the point where she can teach herself how to drive a flying coach and a flying sleigh and how to ride a griffin. However, this skill does not immediately translate well when it comes to flying enchanted objects--it takes a day for Sofia to learn to fly a carpet, this being exacerbated by the carpet being wild.
  +
*'''[[Magic]]:''' Sofia began lessons in magic and sorcery in "[[Cedric's Apprentice]]", first having trouble with a spell to turn things into rubies. But with help from her temporary sorcery-teacher, [[Cedric the Sorcerer]], she soon masters the ability to cast spells although it requires a wand. This comes in handy later when she frees the fairies from their bubble. However, after her first try at spell-casting when she put everyone attending her first ball to sleep, she remains cautious about bold magical attempts, even in measuring magical plant food. However, her skill has greatly increased, allowing her to break a bubble trapping the headmistresses in one try. As Cedric's apprentice, Sofia got to clean Cedric's books, enabling her to know of a few spells, such as one concerning animal-human transformation that came up when she later turned into a cat. In a rare exception of recklessness around magic, Sofia tested Cedric's new Duplication Spell on herself, despite the food-loving Clover advising her to copy the apple she had tried it out on first four or five more times. This recklessness led to the creation of Sofia the Worst. Her magical skills and knowledge have grown to the point where she is the top student in Sorcery Class. She most recently learned some spells from Merlin.
  +
*'''Various [[Buttercups|Buttercup Girl]] Scout Skills:''' As a [[Buttercups|Buttercup Scout]], Sofia has learned many outdoor skills, such as wood-gathering, identifying various herbs, survival skills, etc.
  +
*'''Leadership:''' Sofia displayed potential and competency as a leader, when she led her fellow Buttercups in making a sled so they could hurry an ill Baileywick to get treatment at the castle. When Roland was lost in a snowstorm, she ordered the animals of the woods to find him and bring back proof. When rescuing Clover from Boswell, she used strategy with Mia, Robin, Crackle, and Minimus, tricking Boswell into choosing her for a magic trick and repeatedly impeding him from holding on to Clover for long until Crackle shook him off for good with a fiery blast. When defeating Miss Nettle with Cedric, she begins to develop her cunning by using Clover's chewing ability with Wormwood's wings to get a spare wand for Cedric when his original wand is damaged, then uses his Morpho Mirrors trick to trap Miss Nettle. When the island she is having a picnic with her mother and siblings is levitated, her quick wit is used again when she tries to pull them down to a neighboring island with her allies and a rope. Sofia, however, often has difficulty seeing other people's viewpoints, but if she knows those views, she uses them well to her advantage. She also, especially with Amber, is good at winning arguments over opinions on how things should be run. Sofia has recently proven to be good at thinking through how to solve difficult tasks, such as finding the answer to an ogre's riddle, then at figuring out how to make a good science project without Hocus Crocus. When James becomes King For The Day, she proves to be a competent Royal Adviser. Sofia, unlike James, easily takes advice and learns well from experience. Her physical prowess improves after taking Roland's advice and running a race course as a cat in "[[When You Wish Upon a Well]]". However, when around figures of authority, even her siblings, Sofia can be overpowered due to her feeling insecure about lacking royal birth.
  +
*'''Athletic Prowess:''' Despite initially being clumsy, Sofia has shown that she possesses superb athletic prowess. She was strong enough to fling Prince Hugo off his horse and into the haystacks and the RPA fountain, despite the fact that Hugo is bigger. This physical strength is due to her sportsmanship and, for her arm strength, her fencing, and her wand-waving. She also possesses great stamina as shown when she marched through a jungle all the way to the Jade Jaguar's cave, a feat that easily tired out Amber and Jun. Her prowess was heightened when she retained the cat reflexes she gained after Amber accidentally turned her into a cat. Her athletic prowess has grown to the point where both the Dunwiddie Ducks and Royal Redhawks wanted her to be on their team for the King's Cup. Most recently, she was able to airlift a grown man wearing armor.
  +
*'''Enchanted Ice Dancing:''' Sofia had trouble learning to ice dance in the beginning. When Prince Hugo saw this, he decided to help her out, and she got every move down. Although she became one of the best ice dancers at Royal Prep, she tells Hugo that she still needs help with her royal round-off.
  +
*'''Discipline:''' Sofia has shown throughout the series to have an unusually high level of maturity and self-control for a child her age. She is able to remain calm in most situations and rarely loses her temper (in the episode [[Mystic Meadows]], she stomps her foot in front of [[Goodwin the Great]] due to the latter not realizing the reason behind Cedric’s messing up). It is revealed in "Stormy Lani" that Sofia achieves this by thinking "sunny thoughts".
  +
*'''Frigid Temperature Tolerance:''' Unlike the other members of her family, Sofia is shown to have a remarkable tolerance to the cold, as shown when she dressed up in a cloak whereas the rest of her family had to wear fur coats, and when she was the only one who was not shivering in the coach when she and her family were caught out in a blizzard.
  +
*'''Swordsmanship:''' Sofia is shown to be skilled with a sword. It is revealed that this is due to taking Fencing Class at Royal Prep.
  +
*'''Mechanical Skill:''' Sofia has shown remarkable mechanical ability in "[[In a Tizzy]]" when she built a really fast go-carriage from parts she salvaged from Enchancia Castle's junkyard. It's revealed in "Princess Jade" that she gained this skill in Architecture Class at Dunwiddie School.
  +
*'''Sewing:''' Sofia is shown to be a very talented seamstress, taught from a very young age by Miranda (who had to partially depend on sewing for her livelihood as a shoemaker). This is especially relevant in the episode "[[Princess Butterfly]]" in which she is able to expertly craft her own swan costume.
  +
*'''Enchanto-Zoology:''' Sofia's love of magic and ability to talk to animals has given her extensive knowledge of Enchanted Creatures.
  +
*'''Magical Knowledge:''' Sofia’s love of magic has given her superb knowledge of magical things. She uses numerous spells in the episode "[[Substitute Cedric]]". She is able to perform a spell to make a copy of herself in the episode "[[Sofia the Second (episode)|Sofia the Second]]", however, the spell goes awry. In the episode "[[Make Way for Miss Nettle]]", Sofia is extremely skilled at using magic to grow enchanted flowers. Sofia has at least a basic understanding of magical spells.
  +
*'''Bright Light of Goodness:''' A magical power coming from Sofia herself. It is a powerful light raised from Sofia's heart and can be guided by Sofia's mind to her chosen target. The light is potentially lethal for evil creatures and can dissolve people into nothingness, as shown in "[[Forever Royal]]". The light can be used as a shield against magical attacks.
  +
*'''Power Creation:''' Sofia was shown to be able to create her own powers from within herself as well as creating much more powers. As she fought Vor in "[[Forever Royal]]", she created her own ability, The Bright Light of Goodness, which can disintegrate anything and anyone, without much help she soon defeated her.
  +
*'''Wish Manipulation:''' Sofia has the ability to wish for anything and that wish would soon come true.

A notable event to occur was Sofia's amulet, the Amulet of Avalor. The amulet contains powerful magic that allows Sofia to talk to animals and the power to summon fellow Disney Princesses to come to her aid. The amulet was also on the wish list for the villainous sorcerer Cedric, who secretly plotted to rule the kingdom using the amulet's magic.
 
  +
Sofia first appears with her mother on the way to Enchancia Castle to deliver slippers to [[King Roland II]]. When her mother and the King marry, Sofia becomes Enchancia's second Princess and the Royal Family's youngest member. Sofia says goodbye to her friends [[Ruby Hanshaw|Ruby]] and [[Jade (Sofia the First)|Jade]] before heading to the castle. Sofia is warmly welcomed by everyone at the castle except Amber, who is jealous of her, and [[Cedric the Sorcerer|Cedric]], who is annoyed that she cannot say his name right. Later, her new father announces that she will have A Royal Ball in honor of her Royal Debut and gives her a beautiful necklace that she must promise to never take off. The next day at Royal Prep, all the other kids take an instant shine to Sofia. Amber convinces James to give Sofia a ride on the Enchanted Swing Set. The swing sends Sofia into the RPA Fountain. Sofia runs away and stumbles across a baby bird that had fallen out of its nest and puts it back. Her necklace glows and she hears the birds say "thank you". When she gets home, Cedric reveals that her amulet is magical and the next day she discovers she can talk to animals. For the next few days, Sofia struggles with her studies. At dance class, [[Princess Amber|Amber]] tricks her again and when she gets home she asks Cedric for a spell. When it puts everyone to sleep, Sofia's amulet summons Cinderella. At [[Cinderella (character)|Cinderella]]'s urging, Sofia and Amber reconcile and fix everything. She then dances with her new father and then her whole family.

She is the titular character in this series.
 
  +
As the protagonist, Sofia is a major character throughout the series. As a neophyte Royal, she struggles to find her place among the world of Royalty and prove herself worthy of her new status. She also must learn the responsibilities that come with being the bearer of the [[Amulet of Avalor]] and its powers. She also finds herself caught between things she wants to do as a free spirit and what she must do as a Princess.
   
  +
Sofia reveals to love sports such as the Flying Derby. Her love of sports leads to her trying out for the RPA's Flying Derby team despite everyone telling her it is a Prince only thing. Sofia quickly proves to be a prodigy when she becomes able to ride her horse [[Minimus]] and tackle most of the race course in just one day. She eventually wins the tryout race and makes the team. She becomes so good that she is able to win the [[Flying Crown]] for Royal Prep for the first time in a hundred years and teach herself how to ride a griffin and drive both a flying coach and flying sleigh. She also loves athletic activities that are considered Princess only things like Enchanted Ice Dancing. It is revealed that most of her physical prowess comes from the real world experience she has gained as a Buttercup Scout. She has also learned spell casting, a skill that has grown to the point where she is the top student in sorcery class. Sofia also goes out of her way to help Amber and James learn important life lessons.
In the series, Sofia is often thrown into the fray of what is to be expected of her whilst being a princess and what she wants to do being a free spirit.
 
   
  +
She helps Amber learn to not be afraid to try new things and commit to rescuing missions with help from Princess [[Jasmine]] and [[Fa Mulan|Mulan]]. She also teaches [[Prince James|James]] how to be a good sport and that some things are more important than winning. Sofia learns about her amulet's third ability the hard way after it places a curse on her for bragging to her friends about being chosen to be the Anthem Singer. With help from Belle, she is able to break the curse. Sofia also shows that she is loyal to her loved ones to the point of being altruistic as shown when she took the blame for James for what he did to the window.

  +
She is also shown to have superb detective skills. However, Sofia is also shown to have flaws of her own. Sofia has trust issues that make her keep secrets, a tendency to go off without telling anybody and be vulnerable to peer pressure. These traits tend to annoy or anger some of her loved ones like James and [[Jade (Sofia the First)|Jade]]. Most recently, Sofia has taken on the job as the Storykeeper of [[The Secret Library (location)|the Secret Library]] of [[Enchancia]].
New segments in the ''Disney Junior Live!'' show featuring both Sofia and [[Doc McStuffins]] replaced [[Handy Manny]] and [[Little Einsteins]] in February 2013 at Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney California Adventure.
 
   
  +
At first, she does not think she can do it but thanks to her [[Aunt Tilly]] and [[Merida]], she has gained the confidence she needs to accept the job of finishing all the stories in the Library and giving each one a happy ending. In the course of being a Storykeeper, the Protectors of the Mystic Isles offered to train her to be the EverRealm's first ever protector after she and Amber saved the Isles from Prisma. She has begun her training under Chrysta and is assisting the Protectors of reclaiming the Wicked Nine before Prisma gets them all.

Faced with her greatest task yet, she rallies her friends to stop Vor, but she's too powerful.

Luckily, Minimus arrives, catches Sofia on his back, and flies her to safety. They try to sneak into the castle to warn her family, but Vor begins placing her powerful curse over it. Seeing how badly they are outmatched, Minimus tells Sofia he knows a perfect place to hide, and the two make a hasty retreat.

Sofia and Minimus retreat to the Secret Library. Sofia discovers Vor's conquest in the distance and feels like all hope is lost. Suddenly, her Amulet glows blue. A book called ''The Tale of Princess Sofia'' is selected, explaining Sofia's destiny to defeat Vor. When Sofia sadly notes she already tried and failed to finish this story, the pendulum turns into a man who is revealed to be the First Storykeeper. He explains to Sofia that she must not give up on her destiny to defeat Vor, even if it means doing it by herself. Encouraged by the Storykeeper, Sofia sends Minimus to the village to make sure their friends are alright and then to the harbor to wait for her while she rescues her family.

Eventually, Sofia and Amber reach the castle where Vor is planning to make her next move on another realm. Sofia activates the amulet's power to trap Vor inside it only for Vor to snatch her by the ankle and drag her inside with her. Inside the Amulet, Vor quickly gains the upper hand on Sofia and prepares to finish her off. But Sofia stands tall after seeing the spirits of the Disney Princesses who had been summoned in her times of need. They encouraged her to be brave and strong for they all believe in her. With their support, Sofia lets the bright light of goodness in her heart shine on Vor, causing the evil sorceress to dissolve into nothingness, destroying her permanently and freeing Prisma from her control. Truly grateful and guilt-ridden for what happened, Prisma apologizes for everything she has done.

With her powers, [[Shuriki's wand]], and help from the [[Jaquins]] and Alacazar's grandson [[Mateo]], Sofia frees Elena, who sets off to defeat [[Shuriki]] on her own. When this fails, Sofia and Elena team up and together they free their families during which Sofia finally reveals the truth about her Amulet to her family and admitting that all of her secret intention was to protect them. They then rally the Citizens of Avalor and defeat Shuriki. Freeing Elena also turns the Amulet pink. Afterwards, Sofia is rewarded with a new dress and leaves the Secret Library, satisfied that solved the mystery of Elena and Avalor.

==Trivia==
 
==Trivia==
  +
*Sofia means "wisdom" in Greek.
*Despite being a princess and being directly affiliated with Disney Princesses in her show, Sofia will not join [[Disney Princess|the official line-up]] because she is too young.
 
  +
*Despite being a princess and being directly affiliated with Disney Princesses in her show, Sofia is not part of [[Disney Princess|the official line-up]] because she is too young and she did not start with a theatrical movie, unlike the other princesses.
*On a press tour, executive producer Jamie Mitchell said "She is Latina" after one reporter asked about Sofia's mother's darker skin. This makes Sofia Disney's first Latina princess to appear in an animation project. But recent articles on Sofia's heritage says that she is "not" Latina, but a Hispanic of mixed heritage, with her mother hailing from the Kingdom of Galdiz (loosely based on Spain) and her biological father hailing from a kingdom based on Scandinavia. Despite her father's blood being reportedly Scandinavian, Sofia may likely have Irish blood on that side as well, judging by her skirt designs and ruddy features.
 
  +
**Despite this, she has her own franchise to support her marketing although her franchise might have discontinued because her show has ended.
*Similar to [[Cinderella (character)|Cinderella]], she has a rags-to-riches story and has a stepsister who was once antagonistic, but became softer in the climax. Unlike Cinderella, Sofia's stepsister has been a princess her entire life.
 
*Also unlike Cinderella, Sofia moved into her stepfamily's home instead of the other way around.

Unlike Cinderella, Sofia's stepsister has been a princess her entire life. Additionally, Sofia moved into her stepfamily's home instead of the other way around.
  +
*Sofia is the first princess to have a stepfather rather than the typical stepmother. Plus her stepparent is not wicked and neither are her step-siblings, though Amber is briefly jealous and is often insecure. Amber and Sofia frequently quarrel over this difference in values, though they resolve these arguments, very often with Sofia winning.
*Similar to Cinderella, [[Jasmine]] and [[Rapunzel]], Sofia resides with the antagonist.
 
  +
*Also, Sofia is the first princess to have to deal with more than one main antagonist, though [[Ariel]], [[Belle]], and [[Jasmine]] all got new foes in sequels and spinoffs.
*Like Rapunzel, Sofia is unaware of this fact. Though with Jasmine, she was already distrustful of Jafar beforehand.
 
  +
*Sofia is the third princess with side-parted hair—the first was Ariel and the second [[Rapunzel]].
*Similar to [[Snow White (character)|Snow White]], Cinderella and [[Aurora]], she has animal friends.
 
  +
*She is the fourth heroine to be transformed magically—Cinderella was the first, Ariel the second, and Tiana the third. So far she has been transformed into a lizard, a mermaid, a cat, a rabbit, a raven, a bulldog, a Crystal bird, a Unicorn, a Dragon, and most recently a fairy, making her the only heroine to have taken at least nine distinct forms besides her human form throughout her depiction.
*Her hard work of learning to be a princess is similar to that of [[Tiana]] and Cinderella when she's trying to do her best while being herself.
 
  +
*Sofia's transformation into a mermaid is almost similar to Madison's from the [[1984]] film ''[[Splash]]''. When her feet make contact with the water, they turn into a mermaid tail. This is also a reference to the mermaid Marina, whom Ariel Winter voices in ''[[Jake and the Never Land Pirates]]''.
*Her spunkiness and curiosity is similarly compared to [[Ariel]]. They also have similar singing voices and hairstyles.
 
  +
**As shown in the special ''[[Elena and the Secret of Avalor]]'', Sofia just needs to wish to become a mermaid without having to wet her feet like before.
*Her decision to race in the flying horse-race that has always been done by princes and never by princesses is similar to [[Fa Mulan|Mulan]] when she joined the Imperial Army of China, where it is a crime for a woman to pretend to be a man, let alone even join the army, due to the social structure of Ancient China favoring men over women.
 
  +
*Sofia is frequently compared to birds for some reason, possibly because she was often between home and travel. This reason may be due to her being the teacher's pet of Fauna, which is thanks to her having the gift of song, like Princess Aurora.
*Also like Mulan, Sofia has an affinity with dragons and horses.
 
  +
*The flower design in her first and second princess gowns is known as Guernsey Cream clematis, which grows outside Sofia's shoe shop. The clematis grows worldwide, but is typically associated with Europe, where it was bred. The clematis symbolizes mental acuity, wisdom, travel, aspiration, and mischief (all of these traits of Sofia)
*She is similar to [[w:c:barbie-movies:Princess Sofia|Princess Sofia]] from Mattel's ''[[w:c:barbie-movies:Barbie as The Island Princess|Barbie as the Island Princess]]''. Both share the same name and are around the same age. Both have sea blue eyes and hair parted on the right side. Also, both are sweet and joyful and love animals. The only difference is that Sofia the First isn't born a royal, and isn't a blonde.
 
*Sofia is the first princess to have a stepfather rather than the typical stepmother. Plus her stepparent isn't wicked and neither are her stepsiblings, though Amber is briefly jealous and struggles with materialism. Amber and Sofia frequently quarrel over this difference in values, though they resolve these arguments, very often with Sofia winning.
 
*She is similar to [[Eilonwy]] in the fact they both have magical objects. Eilonwy has her golden bobble and Sofia has the [[Amulet of Avalor]].
 
*Sofia is one of the few protagonists who isn't aware of the antagonist.
 
*Also, Sofia is the first princess to have to deal with more than one main antagonist, though Ariel, [[Belle]] and Jasmine all got new foes in sequels and shows.
 
*Like Rapunzel, Sofia has short, side-parted hair and has purple as her chief color.
 
*Like the [[Beast]], Sofia is cursed for her pride in a way that affects her voice, has wavy reddish hair, and captivating blue eyes, as well as being very sensitive and selfless, though also proud and perhaps moody. Both are also very protective of people and things they value.
 
*Sofia is the third princess with side-parted hair - the first was Ariel and the second Rapunzel. This also applies to all three having tomboyish lips. [[Anna]] and [[Elsa the Snow Queen|Elsa]] are the fourth and fifth of those two categories.
 
*Like Cinderella, Sofia's animals stand in for her family when required to.
 
*Like Snow White, Sofia is innocent to the point of being naive, though this changes as she matures.
 
*Like Belle, Sofia is focused on the value of interior over exterior beauty, and is fairly clever. Both also wear unique colors in their villages as workers - Belle blue amongst red, Sofia purple amongst blue, which mark them as important people by both the other characters and the audience. Their surroundings are also similar, and both often feel out of place in their homes.
 
*Sofia is the third Disney heroine to be artistic - Jane was the first, and Rapunzel the second. This is shown in Sofia's drawing of herself and Miranda, as well as her painting of Minimus.
 
*Sofia is the fourth heroine to be a good seamstress - the first was Cinderella, the second was [[Esmeralda]], and the third was Rapunzel.
 
*She is the fourth heroine to be transformed magically - Cinderella was the first, Ariel the second, and Tiana the third. So far she has been transformed into a lizard, a mermaid, and most recently a cat, making her the only heroine to have taken at least three distinct forms besides her human form throughout her depiction.
 
*Sofia is somewhat similar to Harry Potter from J.K. Rowling's ''Harry Potter'' series in that both are titular characters who are taught magic, enjoy flying, and have responsibility over magic that makes them more unusual than they were before (Harry's scar, and Sofia's Amulet).
 
*Sofia has a remarkable similarity to [[Prince Phillip]] - both are clumsy, charismatic, falling off of their horses, landing in water, chasing people around trees, climbing mountains, being admired for being rebellious, handling raven - toting villains with lairs, and evil fairies using plant power.
 
*Sofia is the sixth heroine to wear a corset, the previous five being Aurora, Ariel, Esmeralda, Rapunzel and [[Merida]].
 
*Each Disney Princess she's met has taught her something important. Cinderella taught her about making amends with her sister, Jasmine demonstrated to her not to be afraid to take charge and try something new, Belle showed her that actions speak louder then words when apologizing for bragging. Ariel helped her see that by working together, anything can be accomplished. Aurora reminded her that you can ask others for help. Snow White taught her to trust her instincts. Mulan taught her to find her courage.
 
*Sofia is the eighth Disney heroine who can sew. Snow White was the first, Cinderella was the second, [[Wendy Darling]] was the third, Eilonwy was the fourth, Esmeralda was the fifth, [[Giselle]] was the sixth, and Rapunzel was the seventh.
 
*In every episode where Sofia's amulet is gone, but reappears a shot later, she doesn't panic. But when she is aware of it and when someone tries to take it, she panics. The amulet's chain allows it to slide back and forth, so the "vanishing" for brief times may really be it sliding to the back of her neck.
 
*Sofia's transformation into a mermaid is almost similar to Madison's from the 1984 film ''[[Splash]]''. When her feet make contact with the water they turn into a mermaid tail. This is also a reference to the mermaid Marina, whom Ariel Winter voices in ''[[Jake and the Never Land Pirates]]''.
 
*Like Frodo Baggins, Sofia's name means "wisdom", she hails from humble origins, and bears an enticing enchanted object of great power that has mythological origins. The One Ring is based off of the Ring of Gawain, Sofia's amulet has shared properties with the Brisingamen.
 
*She has similarities with [[Jessie Prescott|Jessie]], both have reddish hair, both their widowed parent (Mr. Prescott, Miranda) got married again, both have two step-siblings (Darla and Caleb for Jessie, Amber and James for Sofia), both their stepsisters are mean, snobby and selfish (Although Amber reformed while Darla is still mean). Both their names were in the lyrics in their show's theme songs. Prince Zandar's voice actor Karan Brar is also on ''[[Jessie (TV show)|Jessie]]'' as [[Ravi Ross|Ravi]].
 
*Sofia is frequently compared to birds for some reason, possibly because of her often being between home and travel.
 
 
*In Sofia's stained-glass portrait, she interestingly is not wearing her Amulet, it being substituted by a cloak pin. She is also not drawn wearing the Amulet in Flora's picture of her.
 
*In Sofia's stained-glass portrait, she interestingly is not wearing her Amulet, it being substituted by a cloak pin. She is also not drawn wearing the Amulet in Flora's picture of her.
  +
*Sofia is the first princess to interact with Disney Princesses on-screen. She would soon later be followed by [[Vanellope von Schweetz]] after the premiere of ''[[Ralph Breaks the Internet]]''.
*Sofia, like her peer, Princess Vivian, can play multiple instruments, being the mandolin and later the recorder, as revealed in games.
 
  +
**It is to be noted however, that Sofia actually interacted with the real princesses from their respective universes, while Vanellope only interacted with digital copies of the princesses.
*Sofia has six tiaras in the pilot, then seven after "Just One of the Princes", when Amber gives her the Derby Tiara.
 
  +
**It should also be noted that Sofia interacted with the princesses individually, while Vanellope interacted with them as a whole group.
*Sofia shares her finery with Amber - her dresses may be tailored gowns Amber once had.
 
  +
**Sofia also only interacted with ten out of the twelve official members, while Vanellope interacted with all twelve of them, along with the inclusion of [[Anna]] and [[Elsa]].
*Sofia, like Kairi, is linked to water-young Kairi was even voiced by Ariel Winter.
 
  +
**The first approach of the princesses between the two characters was contrasting because Sofia was more approached in a friendlier and kind manner, while their approach to Vanellope was more aggressive and defensive (although this is because Vanellope was first mistaken by the princesses as an intruder).
  +
**Both Sofia and Vanellope were given some advice by the princesses who would apply in their personal situations.
  +
*Sofia states in "[[Finding Clover]]" that she takes mandolin lessons, but she has never been seen playing mandolin.
  +
*Sofia is the youngest Disney Princess so far at the start of her series, though she is the same age as [[Melody]] and [[Eilonwy]] by its end.
  +
*Sofia's birthday is October 6, making her a Libra.
  +
*Like [[Rapunzel]], Sofia's main colors are pink and purple.
  +
*It is revealed in "[[The Lost Pyramid]]" that Sofia discovered an ancient idol in the temples of [[Tangu]] on a Princess Adventure Club trip.
  +
*Sofia's name was chosen from the beginning, but her design took about six months.
  +
*It took three to four months and almost hundred actresses until Ariel Winter was cast, who director, Jamie Mitchell, thought was right for the role the moment he saw her.
  +
*While at first it seemed Sofia was Latina, the backlash of criticism over her lack of resemblance to the real Latino community caused Disney to alter their statement, by saying that the series is just supposed to appeal to the diverse and multicultural audience, but not be explicit in their actual nationality. Galdiz and [[Freezenburg]] are inspired by Spain and Scandinavia, respectively. This was later rectified by having [[Princess Elena]] as the first Disney Princess to be Latina, who appears in the spin-off ''[[Elena of Avalor]]''.

Sofia the First (character) is a featured article, which means it has been identified as one of the best articles produced by the Disney Wiki community. If you see a way this page can be updated or improved without compromising previous work, please feel free to contribute.

This article is about the character from Sofia the First. For other characters, see Sofia.

Princess Sofia is the titular protagonist of the Disney Junior animated television series Sofia the First. She is a little girl with a commoner's background, until her mother marries the King of Enchancia and she becomes a princess. Sofia learns that looking like a princess is not all that hard, but behaving like one can come only from the heart. She is the only daughter of Birk Balthazar and Miranda, King Roland's stepdaughter, and the younger stepsister of Amber and James.

Background

Once, there was a young girl named Sofia. She lived in the village with her mother, Miranda, and was happy, but missed her father, a sailor, who had been lost at sea.
―The First Story Keeper[src]

Sofia is a young girl who lived in a village with her mother, Miranda. She had a father, but he got lost at sea. She becomes royal after her mother's remarriage to the King. Being new to the entire Princess legacy, Sofia attends the Royal Prep Academy where Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather show her the ropes about what being a Princess is all about. However, Sofia is caught between two messages—is being a Princess about material goods or having a good heart? It is up to her animals, led by Clover the rabbit, and a powerful, magical amulet, to set her on the path of the heart.

Personality

Sofia is shown to have a two-sided personality: One side is that of a softhearted idealist. Sofia is shown to be very kind and compassionate. She is also shown to be loyal to her loved ones to the point of altruism. She is also willing to befriend people the large majority refuse to have anything to do with. She also believes in keeping promises no matter what. She also shows her affections by giving her loved ones warm hugs. She also believes that something being trouble free and being a happy something are the same thing.

The other side of her personality is that of a hard-headed pragmatist. Sofia is shown to be a precocious girl who believes the proof is in the pudding. This fuels a side of her that is very investigative and skeptical. She tends to try to juggle more than she can handle, especially when it comes to her friends, and value making herself as multifaceted as possible. This side also gives her trust issues that make her go off on her own without telling anybody and keep secrets from everyone except her Aunt Tilly and her mermaid friend, Princess Oona.

There is a smaller third part of Sofia's personality that she tries to hide: Her vulnerable, scared, and worried part. Many times Sofia's vulnerable side has made her question if she truly belongs with her royal friends and family. She has a tendency to question her own self-worth and if she can handle being a princess. While she doesn't get scared often, when she does she will lose some of her confidence, which can cause trouble for her.

Physical Appearance

Sofia is a beautiful young girl with fair skin, rosy cheeks, thin pink lips, light blue eyes, and shoulder-length wavy auburn hair (that she sometimes ties in a ponytail).

She usually wears a princess gown of a lilac bodice trimmed in two lines of pearls down the front and along the neckline and wings on the skirt, a pearl-hemmed and studded lilac petaled skirt with a row of great lace drops and trumpets each arranged like a four-leaf clover or cross on a nimbus, and a yellowish petticoat with a lilac band; a swirly tiara inset with pink sapphires, white pearls, and a turquoise diamond; violet slippers with bows and mid heels; and the royal family's Amulet of Avalor, a huge fire opal drop cabochon on a swirly silver backing topped with three sapphires and on a silver necklace wrapped over amethyst beans. In the pilot for her debutante ball, her dress had elaborate lacework on the shoulders and fourteen scrolls and terminal clover leaves about each nimbus.

During Elena and the Secret of Avalor, her amulet has turned pink and her dress turned into a violet gown like when she was a commoner, her Derby outfit, and sorceress robe, where her bodice now has white vines on a pink front between the only lines of pearls each clustered with eight smaller pearls and her sheer overskirt has shafts of four spade-like pairs of tendrils against beams all greater below the next over 15 drops arranged as daisy petals over the violet skirt with three white fan stripes between each shaft. She also wears purple slippers and white stockings. But earlier the Disney websites featured her in an intermediate glittery outfit of the purple skirt with opalescent clover-nimbus motif, pink petticoat, and violet bow-tie slippers, and stockings and a purple amulet, which she did not wear in the crossover, but more often in the episodes since "The Bamboo Kite". So both of her special outfits in the television specials did not become employed regularly instead of the simpler ones. Sofia's promotional art and merchandise broadly depart on the dress and amulet.

When she goes on outings, she usually wears a violet equestrian suit for riding, of a cap with bow, jacket, trousers, and boots, but her shirt is lilac like her flying horse, Minimus. When she has a Buttercups meeting, she wears what essentially looks like a Girl Scouts uniform of the 1960s which, much like the Fireside Girls in Phineas and Ferb, has a beret with emblem, shirt, and skirt here of shades of yellow, but with uniform tan vests of badges, tan shoes, and red socks. Each Buttercup has also worn a green or red backpack. Otherwise when Sofia travels on foot she wears a long dress with three stripes at the bottom, a thick coat, sometimes a bow, and a narrow-brimmed hat with a head strap and a band with her tiara emblem.

Powers and Abilities

Although a young girl, Sofia has displayed various skills, abilities, and magical potential.

  • The Amulet of Avalor: This magical amulet, gifted to her by her stepfather, grants Sofia the power to talk to animals (for which the amulet blessed her when she helped a baby bird back into its nest). When she helps Oona the mermaid out of a fishnet, the amulet blesses her with the ability to transform into a mermaid and gain everything that comes with it, including the ability to breathe underwater. The Amulet also gives her the ability to shrink herself at will; she can even shrink what she is wearing to scale. Her most recent ability is to transform into any animal or mythic being she sees. It also summons the Disney Princesses when she needs help.
  • Flying Horse-riding: Sofia tried out for the Royal Prep Flying Derby team in "Just One of the Princes", with Minimus as her steed. After hard work and training, she managed to win her spot on the team, and became a skilled flying horse-rider. She uses those skills later to rescue Clover from Boswell, then to chase Wormwood, the latter event occurring in her regular dress. This leads to James desiring her as his teammate. Her skills have grown to the point where she can teach herself how to drive a flying coach and a flying sleigh and how to ride a griffin. However, this skill does not immediately translate well when it comes to flying enchanted objects--it takes a day for Sofia to learn to fly a carpet, this being exacerbated by the carpet being wild.
  • Magic: Sofia began lessons in magic and sorcery in "Cedric's Apprentice", first having trouble with a spell to turn things into rubies. But with help from her temporary sorcery-teacher, Cedric the Sorcerer, she soon masters the ability to cast spells although it requires a wand. This comes in handy later when she frees the fairies from their bubble. However, after her first try at spell-casting when she put everyone attending her first ball to sleep, she remains cautious about bold magical attempts, even in measuring magical plant food. However, her skill has greatly increased, allowing her to break a bubble trapping the headmistresses in one try. As Cedric's apprentice, Sofia got to clean Cedric's books, enabling her to know of a few spells, such as one concerning animal-human transformation that came up when she later turned into a cat. In a rare exception of recklessness around magic, Sofia tested Cedric's new Duplication Spell on herself, despite the food-loving Clover advising her to copy the apple she had tried it out on first four or five more times. This recklessness led to the creation of Sofia the Worst. Her magical skills and knowledge have grown to the point where she is the top student in Sorcery Class. She most recently learned some spells from Merlin.
  • Various Buttercup Girl Scout Skills: As a Buttercup Scout, Sofia has learned many outdoor skills, such as wood-gathering, identifying various herbs, survival skills, etc.
  • Leadership: Sofia displayed potential and competency as a leader, when she led her fellow Buttercups in making a sled so they could hurry an ill Baileywick to get treatment at the castle. When Roland was lost in a snowstorm, she ordered the animals of the woods to find him and bring back proof. When rescuing Clover from Boswell, she used strategy with Mia, Robin, Crackle, and Minimus, tricking Boswell into choosing her for a magic trick and repeatedly impeding him from holding on to Clover for long until Crackle shook him off for good with a fiery blast. When defeating Miss Nettle with Cedric, she begins to develop her cunning by using Clover's chewing ability with Wormwood's wings to get a spare wand for Cedric when his original wand is damaged, then uses his Morpho Mirrors trick to trap Miss Nettle. When the island she is having a picnic with her mother and siblings is levitated, her quick wit is used again when she tries to pull them down to a neighboring island with her allies and a rope. Sofia, however, often has difficulty seeing other people's viewpoints, but if she knows those views, she uses them well to her advantage. She also, especially with Amber, is good at winning arguments over opinions on how things should be run. Sofia has recently proven to be good at thinking through how to solve difficult tasks, such as finding the answer to an ogre's riddle, then at figuring out how to make a good science project without Hocus Crocus. When James becomes King For The Day, she proves to be a competent Royal Adviser. Sofia, unlike James, easily takes advice and learns well from experience. Her physical prowess improves after taking Roland's advice and running a race course as a cat in "When You Wish Upon a Well". However, when around figures of authority, even her siblings, Sofia can be overpowered due to her feeling insecure about lacking royal birth.
  • Athletic Prowess: Despite initially being clumsy, Sofia has shown that she possesses superb athletic prowess. She was strong enough to fling Prince Hugo off his horse and into the haystacks and the RPA fountain, despite the fact that Hugo is bigger. This physical strength is due to her sportsmanship and, for her arm strength, her fencing, and her wand-waving. She also possesses great stamina as shown when she marched through a jungle all the way to the Jade Jaguar's cave, a feat that easily tired out Amber and Jun. Her prowess was heightened when she retained the cat reflexes she gained after Amber accidentally turned her into a cat. Her athletic prowess has grown to the point where both the Dunwiddie Ducks and Royal Redhawks wanted her to be on their team for the King's Cup. Most recently, she was able to airlift a grown man wearing armor.
  • Enchanted Ice Dancing: Sofia had trouble learning to ice dance in the beginning. When Prince Hugo saw this, he decided to help her out, and she got every move down. Although she became one of the best ice dancers at Royal Prep, she tells Hugo that she still needs help with her royal round-off.
  • Discipline: Sofia has shown throughout the series to have an unusually high level of maturity and self-control for a child her age. She is able to remain calm in most situations and rarely loses her temper (in the episode Mystic Meadows, she stomps her foot in front of Goodwin the Great due to the latter not realizing the reason behind Cedric’s messing up). It is revealed in "Stormy Lani" that Sofia achieves this by thinking "sunny thoughts".
  • Frigid Temperature Tolerance: Unlike the other members of her family, Sofia is shown to have a remarkable tolerance to the cold, as shown when she dressed up in a cloak whereas the rest of her family had to wear fur coats, and when she was the only one who was not shivering in the coach when she and her family were caught out in a blizzard.
  • Swordsmanship: Sofia is shown to be skilled with a sword. It is revealed that this is due to taking Fencing Class at Royal Prep.
  • Mechanical Skill: Sofia has shown remarkable mechanical ability in "In a Tizzy" when she built a really fast go-carriage from parts she salvaged from Enchancia Castle's junkyard. It's revealed in "Princess Jade" that she gained this skill in Architecture Class at Dunwiddie School.
  • Sewing: Sofia is shown to be a very talented seamstress, taught from a very young age by Miranda (who had to partially depend on sewing for her livelihood as a shoemaker). This is especially relevant in the episode "Princess Butterfly" in which she is able to expertly craft her own swan costume.
  • Enchanto-Zoology: Sofia's love of magic and ability to talk to animals has given her extensive knowledge of Enchanted Creatures.
  • Magical Knowledge: Sofia’s love of magic has given her superb knowledge of magical things. She uses numerous spells in the episode "Substitute Cedric". She is able to perform a spell to make a copy of herself in the episode "Sofia the Second", however, the spell goes awry. In the episode "Make Way for Miss Nettle", Sofia is extremely skilled at using magic to grow enchanted flowers. Sofia has at least a basic understanding of magical spells.
  • Bright Light of Goodness: A magical power coming from Sofia herself. It is a powerful light raised from Sofia's heart and can be guided by Sofia's mind to her chosen target. The light is potentially lethal for evil creatures and can dissolve people into nothingness, as shown in "Forever Royal". The light can be used as a shield against magical attacks.
  • Power Creation: Sofia was shown to be able to create her own powers from within herself as well as creating much more powers. As she fought Vor in "Forever Royal", she created her own ability, The Bright Light of Goodness, which can disintegrate anything and anyone, without much help she soon defeated her.
  • Wish Manipulation: Sofia has the ability to wish for anything and that wish would soon come true.

Appearances

Sofia the First: Once Upon a Princess

Sofia crowned

Sofia is crowned a new princess of Enchancia.

Sofia first appears with her mother on the way to Enchancia Castle to deliver slippers to King Roland II. When her mother and the King marry, Sofia becomes Enchancia's second Princess and the Royal Family's youngest member. Sofia says goodbye to her friends Ruby and Jade before heading to the castle. Sofia is warmly welcomed by everyone at the castle except Amber, who is jealous of her, and Cedric, who is annoyed that she cannot say his name right. Later, her new father announces that she will have A Royal Ball in honor of her Royal Debut and gives her a beautiful necklace that she must promise to never take off. The next day at Royal Prep, all the other kids take an instant shine to Sofia. Amber convinces James to give Sofia a ride on the Enchanted Swing Set. The swing sends Sofia into the RPA Fountain. Sofia runs away and stumbles across a baby bird that had fallen out of its nest and puts it back. Her necklace glows and she hears the birds say "thank you". When she gets home, Cedric reveals that her amulet is magical and the next day she discovers she can talk to animals. For the next few days, Sofia struggles with her studies. At dance class, Amber tricks her again and when she gets home she asks Cedric for a spell. When it puts everyone to sleep, Sofia's amulet summons Cinderella. At Cinderella's urging, Sofia and Amber reconcile and fix everything. She then dances with her new father and then her whole family.

Sofia the First

Sofia in Sofia the First.

As the protagonist, Sofia is a major character throughout the series. As a neophyte Royal, she struggles to find her place among the world of Royalty and prove herself worthy of her new status. She also must learn the responsibilities that come with being the bearer of the Amulet of Avalor and its powers. She also finds herself caught between things she wants to do as a free spirit and what she must do as a Princess.

Sofia reveals to love sports such as the Flying Derby. Her love of sports leads to her trying out for the RPA's Flying Derby team despite everyone telling her it is a Prince only thing. Sofia quickly proves to be a prodigy when she becomes able to ride her horse Minimus and tackle most of the race course in just one day. She eventually wins the tryout race and makes the team. She becomes so good that she is able to win the Flying Crown for Royal Prep for the first time in a hundred years and teach herself how to ride a griffin and drive both a flying coach and flying sleigh. She also loves athletic activities that are considered Princess only things like Enchanted Ice Dancing. It is revealed that most of her physical prowess comes from the real world experience she has gained as a Buttercup Scout. She has also learned spell casting, a skill that has grown to the point where she is the top student in sorcery class. Sofia also goes out of her way to help Amber and James learn important life lessons.

She helps Amber learn to not be afraid to try new things and commit to rescuing missions with help from Princess Jasmine and Mulan. She also teaches James how to be a good sport and that some things are more important than winning. Sofia learns about her amulet's third ability the hard way after it places a curse on her for bragging to her friends about being chosen to be the Anthem Singer. With help from Belle, she is able to break the curse. Sofia also shows that she is loyal to her loved ones to the point of being altruistic as shown when she took the blame for James for what he did to the window.

58

Sofia becomes the Storykeeper of the Secret Library.

She is also shown to have superb detective skills. However, Sofia is also shown to have flaws of her own. Sofia has trust issues that make her keep secrets, a tendency to go off without telling anybody and be vulnerable to peer pressure. These traits tend to annoy or anger some of her loved ones like James and Jade. Most recently, Sofia has taken on the job as the Storykeeper of the Secret Library of Enchancia.

At first, she does not think she can do it but thanks to her Aunt Tilly and Merida, she has gained the confidence she needs to accept the job of finishing all the stories in the Library and giving each one a happy ending. In the course of being a Storykeeper, the Protectors of the Mystic Isles offered to train her to be the EverRealm's first ever protector after she and Amber saved the Isles from Prisma. She has begun her training under Chrysta and is assisting the Protectors of reclaiming the Wicked Nine before Prisma gets them all.

Forever Royal 2

Sofia and her family getting ready for the graduation.

In the series finale, Sofia has just graduated from Royal Prep when she is called back to the Mystic Isles to face an evil sorceress named Vor, who plans to take over the kingdom of Enchancia and the EverRealm, whom the Protectors thought had been destroyed after Sofia helped stop Prisma from reviving Vor through the Wicked Nine. Faced with her greatest task yet, she rallies her friends to stop Vor, but she's too powerful.

Sofia rushes to the castle warn her family, when Vor appears in of her and attacks her, causing the princess to lose her balance and fall off the bridge. Luckily, Minimus arrives, catches Sofia on his back, and flies her to safety. They try to sneak into the castle to warn her family, but Vor begins placing her powerful curse over it. Seeing how badly they are outmatched, Minimus tells Sofia he knows a perfect place to hide, and the two make a hasty retreat.

Sofia and Minimus retreat to the Secret Library. Sofia discovers Vor's conquest in the distance and feels like all hope is lost. Suddenly, her Amulet glows blue. A book called The Tale of Princess Sofia is selected, explaining Sofia's destiny to defeat Vor. When Sofia sadly notes she already tried and failed to finish this story, the pendulum turns into a man who is revealed to be the First Storykeeper. He explains to Sofia that she must not give up on her destiny to defeat Vor, even if it means doing it by herself. Encouraged by the Storykeeper, Sofia sends Minimus to the village to make sure their friends are alright and then to the harbor to wait for her while she rescues her family.

Sofia succeeds in freeing her family from Vor's spell and they retreat on a ship. She tries to convince her family to fight back, to which Amber agrees. Sofia turns into a flying horse and Amber climbs on, and they fly back to the castle, with the rest of the family following.

Sofia defeating Vor

Sofia defeats Vor inside her amulet with her Bright Light of Goodness.

Eventually, Sofia and Amber reach the castle where Vor is planning to make her next move on another realm. Sofia activates the amulet's power to trap Vor inside it only for Vor to snatch her by the ankle and drag her inside with her. Inside the Amulet, Vor quickly gains the upper hand on Sofia and prepares to finish her off. But Sofia stands tall after seeing the spirits of the Disney Princesses who had been summoned in her times of need. They encouraged her to be brave and strong for they all believe in her. With their support, Sofia lets the bright light of goodness in her heart shine on Vor, causing the evil sorceress to dissolve into nothingness, destroying her permanently and freeing Prisma from her control. Truly grateful and guilt-ridden for what happened, Prisma apologizes for everything she has done.

FR Sofia the Protector

The Protectors of the Mystic Isles named Sofia the new Protector of the EverRealm.

Meanwhile, Cedric rallies the Royal Family, Sofia's friends, the animals, and everyone else, and they work together to cast the spell to free Sofia. The spell works and Sofia and Prisma are released from the Amulet. Prisma willingly turns herself in to face her actions. The Protectors then dub Sofia an official Protector of the EverRealm and Sofia is given a new uniform. She and all her family and friends then go inside to celebrate.

Elena and the Secret of Avalor

Elena and the Secret of Avalor Elena Sofia first hug

Sofia meets Princess Elena.

There's a princess inside my amulet??
―Sofia's realization

Sofia appears in the Elena of Avalor pilot special, where she learns the great mystery of her Amulet from Alacazar: Princess Elena of Avalor has been trapped in her Amulet for forty one years. Believing she cannot tell her family the truth, Sofia convinces them to spend the Royal Family's summer vacation there. With her powers, Shuriki's wand, and help from the Jaquins and Alacazar's grandson Mateo, Sofia frees Elena, who sets off to defeat Shuriki on her own. When this fails, Sofia and Elena team up and together they free their families during which Sofia finally reveals the truth about her Amulet to her family and admitting that all of her secret intention was to protect them. They then rally the Citizens of Avalor and defeat Shuriki. Freeing Elena also turns the Amulet pink. Afterwards, Sofia is rewarded with a new dress and leaves the Secret Library, satisfied that solved the mystery of Elena and Avalor.

Elena of Avalor

Sofia and her family arrive at Elena's coronation

Sofia and her family shows up to Elena's coronation.

In the series finale "Coronation Day", which takes place four years after they helped Elena reclaim Avalor from Shuriki, Sofia and her family return to Avalor for Elena's coronation as Queen. Sofia is shown to have aged well into her teenage years, alongside James and Amber, and still wears the Amulet of Avalor. They arrive just in time for the crowning, much to Elena's joy and she warmly welcomes them back. After Elena is crowned, Sofia joins in singing the song "Guiding Light". Elena later dances with Sofia as everyone celebrates Elena's new status as Queen of Avalor.

Trivia

  • Sofia means "wisdom" in Greek.
  • Despite being a princess and being directly affiliated with Disney Princesses in her show, Sofia is not part of the official line-up because she is too young and she did not start with a theatrical movie, unlike the other princesses.
    • Despite this, she has her own franchise to support her marketing although her franchise might have discontinued because her show has ended.
  • Similar to Cinderella, she has a rags-to-riches story and a stepsister who was once antagonistic, but became softer in the climax. Unlike Cinderella, Sofia's stepsister has been a princess her entire life. Additionally, Sofia moved into her stepfamily's home instead of the other way around.
  • Sofia is the first princess to have a stepfather rather than the typical stepmother. Plus her stepparent is not wicked and neither are her step-siblings, though Amber is briefly jealous and is often insecure. Amber and Sofia frequently quarrel over this difference in values, though they resolve these arguments, very often with Sofia winning.
  • Also, Sofia is the first princess to have to deal with more than one main antagonist, though Ariel, Belle, and Jasmine all got new foes in sequels and spinoffs.
  • Sofia is the third princess with side-parted hair—the first was Ariel and the second Rapunzel.
  • She is the fourth heroine to be transformed magically—Cinderella was the first, Ariel the second, and Tiana the third. So far she has been transformed into a lizard, a mermaid, a cat, a rabbit, a raven, a bulldog, a Crystal bird, a Unicorn, a Dragon, and most recently a fairy, making her the only heroine to have taken at least nine distinct forms besides her human form throughout her depiction.
  • Sofia's transformation into a mermaid is almost similar to Madison's from the 1984 film Splash. When her feet make contact with the water, they turn into a mermaid tail. This is also a reference to the mermaid Marina, whom Ariel Winter voices in Jake and the Never Land Pirates.
  • Sofia is frequently compared to birds for some reason, possibly because she was often between home and travel. This reason may be due to her being the teacher's pet of Fauna, which is thanks to her having the gift of song, like Princess Aurora.
  • The flower design in her first and second princess gowns is known as Guernsey Cream clematis, which grows outside Sofia's shoe shop. The clematis grows worldwide, but is typically associated with Europe, where it was bred. The clematis symbolizes mental acuity, wisdom, travel, aspiration, and mischief (all of these traits of Sofia)
  • In Sofia's stained-glass portrait, she interestingly is not wearing her Amulet, it being substituted by a cloak pin. She is also not drawn wearing the Amulet in Flora's picture of her.
  • Sofia is the first princess to interact with Disney Princesses on-screen. She would soon later be followed by Vanellope von Schweetz after the premiere of Ralph Breaks the Internet.
    • It is to be noted however, that Sofia actually interacted with the real princesses from their respective universes, while Vanellope only interacted with digital copies of the princesses.
    • It should also be noted that Sofia interacted with the princesses individually, while Vanellope interacted with them as a whole group.
    • Sofia also only interacted with ten out of the twelve official members, while Vanellope interacted with all twelve of them, along with the inclusion of Anna and Elsa.
    • The first approach of the princesses between the two characters was contrasting because Sofia was more approached in a friendlier and kind manner, while their approach to Vanellope was more aggressive and defensive (although this is because Vanellope was first mistaken by the princesses as an intruder).
    • Both Sofia and Vanellope were given some advice by the princesses who would apply in their personal situations.
  • Sofia states in "Finding Clover" that she takes mandolin lessons, but she has never been seen playing mandolin.
  • Sofia is the youngest Disney Princess so far at the start of her series, though she is the same age as Melody and Eilonwy by its end.
  • Sofia's birthday is October 6, making her a Libra.
  • Like Rapunzel, Sofia's main colors are pink and purple.
  • It is revealed in "The Lost Pyramid" that Sofia discovered an ancient idol in the temples of Tangu on a Princess Adventure Club trip.
  • Sofia's name was chosen from the beginning, but her design took about six months.
  • It took three to four months and almost hundred actresses until Ariel Winter was cast, who director, Jamie Mitchell, thought was right for the role the moment he saw her.
  • While at first it seemed Sofia was Latina, the backlash of criticism over her lack of resemblance to the real Latino community caused Disney to alter their statement, by saying that the series is just supposed to appeal to the diverse and multicultural audience, but not be explicit in their actual nationality. Galdiz and Freezenburg are inspired by Spain and Scandinavia, respectively. This was later rectified by having Princess Elena as the first Disney Princess to be Latina, who appears in the spin-off Elena of Avalor.
