'''Sophie''' is a Green [[Ixi]] witch introduced on June 16, 2005 through the [[Neopets TCG]] [[Lost Desert]] expansion and shown fully in [[Neopets: The Darkest Faerie]] on November 15, 2006.

A former citizen of [[Neovia]], she was safely taken out of the village when it became cursed and was given a hut in a [[Haunted Woods]] swamp by [[Ilere]] in order to survive. She is the daughter of [[Edmund]] and [[Alice]], and the sister of [[Bruno]] and [[Reginald]]. She currently lives alone in that same hut surrounded by [[Meowclops]], bordering the lands of [[Meridell]] and Neovia (also considered [[Werelupe Woods]]). She makes it a habit to scare [[Neopet]]s away from her and sometimes even turn them into [[Petpet]]s or [[Petpetpet]]s. Though crude in her actions, Sophie is generally a good character, but wishes to be left alone.

Sophie is not the most careful of witches and mixes potions in her game [[Sophie's Stew]], with the help of her Meowclops.

==Plot summary==
===Neopets: The Darkest Faerie===
{{Main|Neopets: The Darkest Faerie}}

When [[Tormund]] and [[Roberta]] came to Werelupe Woods to fight the [[Werelupe King]] for [[Illusen]]'s Charm, they meet Sophie, who knows they are going to the [[Werelupe]] Den and wil help them get past the giant skull guarding it if they find her a raw [[Wartroot]]. After retrieving the Wartroot from an underground cavern in the swamp, Sophie tells a story of how she made a necklace to get into the Werelupe Burrows for a young Neopet. He used the necklace to try and steal the Werelupe King's treasure, but got buried alive. Instead of making a new one, Sophie sends them to the location of the old one at his crypt.

===The Tale of Woe===

{{Main|The Tale of Woe}}

In the [[Gypsy Camp]] of the [[Haunted Woods]], users are told the story of a time when Gilly passed while she was lost in the woods, and told a story herself: Long ago in [[Neovia]] lived the family [[Edmund]] and [[Alice]] and their 3 children, who were [[Bruno]], [[Reginald]] and Sophie. Their family was the first to fall in the trap set by [[Mr. Krawley]], who offered mysterious potions to all of the inhabitants of Neovia. Every single person was lured into it, convinced that their one big problem would be resolved, and were soon cursed by their desires. The rioting inhabitants were furious and blamed the family when Mr. Krawley disappeared. Edmund ordered Reginald to take Sophie into the Woods. There they stumbled upon the [[Ilere]], who Sophie decided to go with of her own free will despite Reginald's worry, saying she felt safe with her.

After Gilly was told the story, she found Neovia and an abandoned house, where she discovered a silver locket. taking it to the [[Deserted Fairground]], she asked around for information on it, and eventually returned to Neovia to discover a spooky shack with '''Sophies Rocking Chair''' at the front.

==Trivia==
*On April 20, 2006, Sophie was featured in [[Better Than You]], scoring 1250 [[Sophie's Stew]]. The reward was a ''Shadow Ixi Plushie''. She was quoted saying...<blockquote>''So... you think you can beat me at my own game, do you? Why, even my Meowclops could beat you. Now shoo! I'm trying out a new potion and I don't want to be bothered by your silly notions about beating my score!''</blockquote>She was featured again on February 20, 2008, scoring 675 in Sophie's Stew. The reward was a ''Meowclops Bed''. She was quoted saying...<blockquote>''What? What do you mean you want to challenge me? Oh, you want to help me make 'stew'? Well, why didn't you say so? Get in here and start putting these ingredients into the cauldron. If you assist me in the successful creation of my next potion, I may not even turn you into a Mortog when we're done...<br><br>but we both know that's not very likely.''</blockquote>
*During the ''Random Theme'' of ''Sophie the Swamp Witch'' in the [[New Features]] on April 6, 2006, many Sophie related items were added, including the game Sophie's Stew. Later the same year another Random Theme called ''Sophie and Friends'' occurred on December 6, 2006, which featured even more items, a selection in the [[Art Gallery]], new [[NeoGreetings]], and an [[Advent Calendar]] animation showing an old [[Christmas]] gathering she and the rest of the family shared in Neovia before it was cursed.
*The [[Neopet TCG]] card [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=11&id=18 Sophie] says she is a [[hero]], contrary to the card [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=8&id=17 Sophie the Swamp Witch] which states she is a [[villain]]. This change may have come about due to the recent ''The Tale of Woe'' plot.
*An [[Avatar]] featuring Sophie can be gained by visiting the [http://www.neopets.com/halloween/costumes.phtml Halloween Paint Brushes] page. An unreleased version of this avatar exists in the Neopets server, but only one is officially released.
