History

Season 1

Sophie makes her first appearance in the first episode of Greenhouse Academy season 1; Pilot, where she confronts Hayley alongside her friend Brooke Osmond after Hayley had made comments against The Greenhouse. She later appears in the girls bathroom, just before Max accidently walks into the room, while on the phone. There she jokingly believes Max was auditioning for the Eagles, only to be corrected by Max, who told her that he was auditioning for the Ravens instead. She also appears in the crowd for the opening ceremony of the new school year.

Sophie makes her next appearance in the next episode; The Opening Challenge, Where she appears in the Eagles dormitory, after Alex had managed to win a arm-wrestle against one of his fellow Eagles. There she asks him to pose for her, so that she could take some photos. However she posts these photos on her daily blog, therefore embarrassing Alex. Later in the episode she takes part in a team-challenge against the Ravens, where she helps the Eagles search for the keys. There she defends Alex when Daniel and Brooke are picking on him, only to be told by Alex that he could defend himself. After Alex storms off, she follows him, only to see him to the Greenhouse foyer, where she catches him refusing the offer of a key from Hayley. She reports this to her fellow Eagles, after the team's loss, only getting Alex in trouble.

In Breaking and Entering, Sophie tries to pitch an Eagle's tradition to Alex; breaking into the Raven's clubhouse in order to get in good with the rest of the Eagles. After Alex had come back from his mission, she hushes the rest of her team as they await the result. She's the first one to notice that Alex had managed to accomplish his mission and therefore accompanies the rest of the Eagles on their trip to the Ravens dormitory, in an attempt to vandalize it. After their vandalism attempt, Sophie decides to post the photo of Leo, done up as a ninja turtle on her blog, before celebrating Alex's achievement with the rest of her team.

Sophie appears next in Black Smoke, where she is seen at Alex's first basketball game with the Eagles, notifying him that Hayley had returned to the Greenhouse, then cheering on the Eagles in the crowd, before Daniel collapses at the end of the game, to which she's forced to keep Brooke back, as Daniel's taken off to hospital. In Captain Material, she's thoroughly pleased to see Daniel return to the Greenhouse, welcoming him upon his arrival, while recording the arrival for her blog in the process.

However soon after Louis announces that Daniel is no longer the captain, Sophie elects herself for the position, when Daniel and Alex attempt to make Parker the captain. In the next episode; Swimming Lessons, Sophie is first seen handing out flyers and trying to convince her fellow Eagles of her campaign, as well as getting support from her friend; Brooke Osmond. After this she places her trust in Alex to make the right decision about the vote. During the later debate, Sophie tries to promote her campaign, explaining what she would bring as the captain. However after Parker reveals that Sophie had originally planned to audition for the Ravens, but Sophie manages to explain that that was the case originally, but that when she joined the Eagles, she discovered that her original impressions of the Eagles were not true.

After Parker steps down from the election of Eagles captain, on word from Daniel and Alex, Sophie takes up the role of the Eagles captain. In the next episode; The Outsider Sophie comforts Brooke, after she had nightmares related to Daniel and his mother; Judy. She's later seen watching the launch of NASA'S satellite on the projection screen in her dormitory.

Sophie makes her next appearance in the episode; Steph, where Louis has invited to his office, where he's awarding her the captain's Louis, as well as to just check up on how she was doing as the Eagles captain. Later in the episode, after seeing the state of the Eagles locker rooms, Sophie forces the boys to stay behind and clean the locker rooms before their basketball practice, stopping the boys from leaving by using her captain's Louis to lock the door of their dormitory. Sophie soon discovers the rabbit that Parker and the rest of the guys had found and that they intend to keep as a pet, a notion to which Sophie is in disagreement with, noting the rules of the Greenhouse. She initially attempts to take the rabbit to a shelter, but later comes up with the idea of making the rabbit the Eagle's new mascot; known as Steph.

Sophie appears next in Guilt Free Cupcakes where she leads her team in a cupcake-selling task, set out by Louis in order to raise enough money for the Halloween ball. During the task she considers Daniel's selling idea, but says that she'd like to find out what everyone else thought about the idea first, before coming up with the idea of selling the smaller cupcakes at a higher price, calling them "healthy" cupcakes, noting that health-food stores often raised the prices on their produce and therefore leads her team to victory. After this Sophie takes part in a cat-walk event for the Greenhouse clothing line, wearing her cheer-leader uniform.

In Great Scott, Sophie is busy at work, setting up the Harvest dance, before later asking Alex over to help her with some party decorations in the Eagles dormitory, using it as an excuse to pull Alex out of Daniel's way, with Alex asking her why Daniel was mad at him. Sophie replies by saying that Daniel had been mad at the world, but reveals that she had an idea that would calm Daniel down. After this Sophie gets asked to the dance by Parker, but has to turn him down as she had already agreed to go with Alex. Brooke then asks Sophie what Daniel was going through, worried about his behaviour, with Sophie adding that Daniel was obviously going through something, but also adding that he shouldn't of taken it out on Brooke. After Brooke explains why she thought Daniel was mad at her, Sophie agrees with Daniel, noting how protective Daniel was of his mother, but then proceeds to tell her not to let it ruin the dance for her as Brooke and Daniel were still a good couple.

Later at the dance, Sophie and Alex approach Leo and Hayley as they enter the dance, with Sophie asking the two whether they were dating, before Leo jokingly says that he was sure they'd find out on her blog. Sophie then walks over to a dejected Parker, and accompanies him, while offering some punch, before sitting down next to him. Sophie then compliments Parker for his juke-box idea. As the hostess, Sophie then introduces Leo onto the stage, before he begins to play his guitar.

Her next appearance was in the final Season 1 episode; L.D.R, where she was shown to be visibly shocked at the appearance of Aspen, who turned out to be a previous childhood friend of Leo's, but later goes on to announce the annual Eagles and Ravens Halloween dance-off, explaining that the students would all come together in a circle and that the couples would take turns dancing in the centre, with the couple to get the most applause winning. This accolade would go to both Max and Emma, with Sophie announcing it at the end of the event, crowning both Emma and Max as the winners. Later, before a food-fight could get underway, Sophie attempts to stop it from occurring but to no avail, which is what ultimately causes the Raven's clean-up later. After the party, Sophie is in the girls bathroom with Aspen, cleaning. Sophie in shock moves backwards, as Aspen screams at the appearance of the Eagle's rabbit; Steph under the sink.

Sophie explains this to Aspen, but Aspen just asks her to get it out of the bathroom, expressing that she was allergic to rodents, tempting Sophie to bring Steph closer to her. Sophie then says that what Leo had done to Hayley was repulsive, before storming out of the bathroom.

Relationships

Sophie and Alex

When Alex was being picked on by the rest of the Eagles, Sophie was the only one to stand up for Alex, clearly showing concern for his well-being; a sentiment that Alex didn't share for her until later. This relationship however is strained when Sophie rats on Alex, about the incident with the key. She later tries to convince Alex to help raid the Ravens dormitory, in order to get in good with the other Eagles, clearly showing that she still cares about him. After being successful in the mission, it's shown that Alex is more friendly with Sophie than he was before. Later on when the captain elections are taking place, Sophie places her trust in Alex that he'd make the right choice, with Alex then convincing Parker to duck out of the race. Cleary believing Sophie would make a good captain.

Soon Sophie takes Alex to the harvest-dance as her partner, but later drifts off in her hosting duties and hangs with Parker.
