Sofia Camila (Common: Sophia Camile), regally known as Sofia of Hyspia, was the 20th Queen-Consort of Hanseti-Ruska from her marriage to Georg I in 1923, her senior by 15 years. She was the eldest daughter of Viceroy Cesar of Hyspia and his wife, Laurelie of Aquilae, being a notable member of House de Pelear.

Biography
Childhood
Princess Sofia Camila Valentina Isidora Ravn de Pelear was born to Viceroy Cesar I and Vicereine Laurelie I in 1887. Due to a drought within the Hyspian lands, she was reportedly born within her mother's homelands of Balian - and not long after, the Hyspian people went on to vassalize under Haense after a deal was struck under the Haense King, Karl III.
Princess Sofia's first reported memory was of attending a festival within Haense. Where she attempted the different games. It was there that she had her first truly memorable moment, sitting with a fortune teller. The young Sofia was told her life would be blessed by GOD, and she took it to heart, never forgetting the fortuneteller's words.
Her childhood was one of luxury, she enjoyed the sweet treats of the Hyspian palace and attended many events as she was known to be a social butterfly. Sofia had a total of three other siblings, her elder brother, Crown Prince Francisco - her younger brother and twin, Prince Alejandro and her one and only sister, Princess Veronica. She never quite got along with her elder brother, and in her younger years, she got along quite fine with her twin, while seemingly not knowing her younger sister too well.
Sofia was known to be quite vain as a child, writing poetry of herself and reading it aloud to all who would listen, alongside writing songs for and of the Hyspian people. It was from there, as her childhood came to an end, that her teenage years came.
Teenage Years
Princess Sofia's teenage years were a whirlwind. Upon turning the age of thirteen, a siege of Haense took place - demons rampaging and attacking what had come to be her home. She hunkered down alongside younger children within the Haense catacombs, alongside her sister, Princess Veronica. As the sounds of war screamed on outside, she had knelt, leading the group in prayer - while the adults who stayed with them took care of other matters. One prayer poured out after the next, and soon a Knight had arrived, to gather those grouped in the catacombs and lead them safely to the nearby Barclay keep until the fight should end. This gave Sofia a healthy respect for GOD, believing Him to have kept her and her family safe that day.
The turmoil did not end there, though, as throughout her teenage years, she seemed to only grow more beautiful by the day. This was evidenced by the poetry and songs written of her, confessions of love from all walks of life, and the three stalkers she managed to accumulate. By the time she was fifteen, her once love for poetry had faded to hatred, realizing that her beauty was a curse and not a blessing. And yet, she could not bring herself to give it up. Frequent spa days continued, she set the height of Hyspian fashion trends and she had a love for herself like no other. She would reject each confession, and the confessions soon turned into marriage proposals, having a total of twenty-two marriage proposals by the time she had turned eighteen years old. From people of all walks of life, commoners, nobles, bastards, and two royal proposals before she ever even met her future husband.
She kept with her studies, nonetheless, and while studying the Haense culture, she was invited to the Lok dinner of the then Crown Prince Georg and his to-be wife Lady Esfir Kortrevich, a fact little known.
Young Adulthood
As a young adult, her life continued to an extent as it did when she was a teenager. Her father reportedly had grown weary of the bombardment of proposals. Having received five of them in one day. He called for a court, where he'd announced a tournament for her hand will take place; one that never came to fruition. Sofia's twin brother, Prince Alejandro, would commit crimes throughout his life. One that made her once affection for her twin brother change to hatred, but the one that changed her life for good was his murder of their father, Viceroy Cesar I after Alejandro's disownment. This destroyed the young Sofia, she found that she could no longer stand the sight of the Hyspian sands she once adored. She packed up and moved to Haense fully after her father's death, in where she began her work under the Queen Esfir of Haense within the courts.
Sofia worked hard, in her attempt to persevere through her grief. It was even during her grief, that those would still attempt to catch her as their wife, pretending to be a friend before "going in for the kill". It was her family, namely her mother and sister, that saved her throughout this - even though she had avoided the lands of Hyspia at that time. She'd begun to grow close to the now King Georg I, drawn in by a man whom she could truly be friends with, with no strings attached.
