She was bribed with biscuits and warm foamy milk by a woman she did not know, calmed on her long journey with stories of ancient magic and forgotten travellers. She hid her fears so well by clinging to her childhood things for brief comfort, only allowing herself to cry when the loud claps of thunder could smother her anguish.
She was in Thirteen for all her childhood. They changed her name to Sophie. No one suspects.
Her new father is a man of god, spends his life in the sept. He once had a large family, but his wife left him after he struck her across the face. She took the children with her.
He is not cruel anymore, he is a hollow ghost of a man, with regret lingering in his eyes and a sour venom in his breath - but he still makes her pray, and worship the same gods as he and his flock. It's the condition of living under his roof. So she does. For the next ten years, she does. And she hates it.
So she likes to break all seven sins each day, to spite him. It's a game that she's grown fond of playing.
