[Games] Welcome Sofiya, Maksim, Nadezhda, and Elena!
Congratulations!

She is small for her age and quite thin; this is partially due to the deplorable conditions of her orphanage.

She likes to look at magazines and hopes to be a model someday if she gets taller. She loves to try on clothes and is a very skilled seamstress. Her best subjects in school are art and music.
