Sophie is rather fit for her size being basically the only person on the ranch doing work, though the Pokemon do ofter help out.
History- Sophie was born and raised in Ever Grande in a flower shop her parents owned, she grew up watching some of the greatest trainers that have ever come to Hoenn past trough the city during the Conferences. Her love for Pokemon started at an early age, but early on she knew that battling for gym badges and competing in the Ever Grande Conference was not for her, she loved to dress up her parents Pokemon. When she first saw a Pokemon Contest she fell in love with them instantly. Sophie would watch every contest that was showed on tv, and soon her parents caught on. They were able to get an Eevee egg from a friend to give to her, this egg would one day become Stardust her Sylveon but that would only be after months of taking care of the egg. When Stardust first hatched Sophie's eye lit up as she never seen a silver Eevee before, her parents were also taken back before explaining to Sophie what a shiny Pokemon was. Sophie for a short time became infatuated with the idea of shiny Pokemon and decided she would not start her journey until she had another in her possession.
One Day while visiting the Pokemon Center she heard a few trainers talking about a strong shiny Staravia The other trainers planned on battling it to was fatigued, by relentlessly challenging without a moment for it to rest and whoever was to catch it would pay the others. Sophie followed them to the woods where they would challenge it. The Staravia defeated all three of the boy's teams and began to leave in order to get distance so that is could rest , but as it left the boys began to throw rocks at the poor Pokemon. While Staravia was able to dodge most of the rocks a few were able to hit dead on knocking it out of the sky and crashing into the forest. This was when Sophie showed up and yelled at them for what they were doing, the boys fled as Sophia ran into the forest to get the injured Pokemon to bring to the Pokemon Center. As Sophie trudged through the thick forest she saw the wounded Pokemon had been grounded and was now surrounded by other wild Pokemon. Sophie quickly rushed int to try to stop the wild Pokemon from attacking the poor Staravia, sadly the wild Pokemon did not care the Sophie was in their way and attack relentlessly toward both Sophie and Staravia. After that, all Sophie remembers is waking up to her parents surrounding her while she laid on a bed in the Pokemon center. Apparently, the boys told Nurse Joy what happened and she rushed to help the Staravia but when she got they she found the Staravia still barely fighting and Sophie on the floor unconscious. Nurse Joy took to the two back to the Pokemon Center, and although Sophie had awakened the Staravia was far from safe not only did it suffer major damage but it also fought to a point of exhaustion. Sophie refused to leave the Pokemon Center until the Staravia could, and went to see her every day. After a week or so Nurse Joy finally cleared Staravia to leave the center, which meant Sophie would finally go home to. Sophie walked Staravia back to the forest to let his go home but as Sophie turned around to walk home to Staravia followed her, this is how Sophie met her second Pokemon Sky and her Journey to become a top coordinator began.
Sophie's time as a coordinator was nothing short of average, while she wasn't particularly bad she was far from one of the top coordinators of the region. She tried her best entering every contest she came across and while always making it past the appeal round, her anxiousness in the battle round would always cause her to fall short. Luckily she was able to make it to one Grand Festival but didn't make it very far in the event. While for a long time being Sophie's dream she began to question if it was what she really wanted to do, this was when she met a Pokemon breeder and realized that she had more in common with their mindset than she did with the coordinator she had met. Now at the age of 17, she became determined to become a breeder, which was when she saw an ad for a breeder needed at an ex-champion's ranch, as he traveled the world and didn't have the capabilities to bring all his Pokemon along with him. When she went there she found the small turn out to be odd, this was Lock Everett one of the greatest trainers to ever come out of Hoenn, she soon found out though that he wasn't as likable as his accolades might make you think. He was rude and abrasive to nearly all those who interviewed before her, most of them just walked out and away and some fled crying. Once is was Sophie's turn though she refused to let his attitude get to her, and told him that she is new to being a Pokemon breeder but she with try her best. The first few months were pretty hard on Sophie constantly getting yelled for mistakes she would make, but she worked her and both Lock and his Pokemon could see her trying. The Pokemon began helping make her jobs on the ranch easier and Lock's calmed down on yelling at her for every mistake, by the time her first year finished she had every down and was becoming quite the breeder. Sophie soon realized that while Lock demeanor and attitude is not a front, it also wasn't how he always acted he had a soft side that he would only show to those close to him, like to his Pokemon, Sophie, and her Pokemon. After all this time Sophie finally found what she wanted to do in the world of Pokemon and was happy with the job she had. Sophie spends a lot of her time at the ranch and keeps in contact Lock, so when he told her to pack on all of the Pokemon to be transferred to all go on vacation to an island he was invited to she was pleasantly surprised.

Lock Everett - Once Sophie decided to move on from being a coordinator and become a Pokemon breeder, she decided to find a ranch that would take her in while she trained to be a breeder. Over the next few years, Sophie would grow close to both Lock and his Pokemon and Sophie would see the softer and kinder side of Lock. Sophie respects Lock's strength greatly and aspires to be as great as he is. She thinks of him as an older brother, who she can look up to. Her relationships with Lock's Pokemon is nearly as close the Pokemon have with Lock and many of them are very protective of Sophie.

Sky (Shiny Staraptor) Sky is the first Pokemon Sophie caught, which she is very proud of as it was the same with her with her older brother and Father as well. Sky is very overprotective of Sophie and acts more like and older sister than her Pokemon sometimes scaring away boys who she doesn't like, whether Sophie showed interest or not. Sky is one the only Pokemon the Lock's Arcanine treats as a true rival. She is one of Sophie most fearsome combatants, and was an appeal round Ace, do to her being a Shiny Pokemon she was usually Sophie's first choice for the more important appeal rounds.
