The child of poor immigrants from Los Angeles, Sofía grew up on the mean streets of Seattle. She never knew why the moved right before her birth, but she always got the impression that they were running from something. Despite the squalor of the sprawl, her family sacrificed much in order to give their daughter half a chance at a future. Together they managed to enroll her in a real school. There, she showed an intelligence that people often, incorrectly, assume Orks don't posses. And for a time, her life was good. She had an education, a loving family, and the sprawl had yet to beat them down too hard.

Unfortunately, such things could not last.

Both her parents were murdered in a hate crime by members of the Humanis Policlub when she was barely a teenager. Raised by her Abuela from then on, Sofía tried to live a path on the straight an narrow. She joined DocWagon after she managed to gain her EMT certification, post graduation. Being an Ork, as well as a hardened sprawler, she eventually joined the High Threat Response team for the extra hazard pay. While her Abuela worries endlessly, Sofía was more than willing to put herself at risk in order to provide a roof over both their heads, and food on the table. And besides, she was good at it. Hard as a coffin nail when in a scrap, but able to keep her cool enough to perform medicine in the field, she is an excellent HRT specialist. But as of yet, Sofía has yet to achieve full time, and she has a granparent to look after. As such, she has taken to Running the shadows on the side to make ends meat. It's not that much different work from her HRT gig, honestly. Only she can set her own salary, which is a plus. Due to her protective nature, and her great size, she has more than earned the nickname "Brick."
