Sophie walks in at midday. She’s dressed in her work uniform. A grey and black trousers and t-shirt ensemble. Her blonde hair is in a ponytail with bangs that frame her face.

​

She has pale skin, with a pink English rose undertone. Her eyes are light blue, her chin a little pointed and her lips are pink. She smiles politely as she sits down across from me, her hands clasped in her lap.

​

She taps her black sneakered foot, waiting for me to start.

​

ME: I’m going to ask you some basic questions about yourself. I know some will be obvious but please answer anyway.

 

SOPHIE: Sure. No problem.

​

ME: Thank you. First question. What is your full name?

​

SOPHIE: Sophie Hannah Lawrence.

​

ME: How did your parents decide on your name?

ME: What colour is your hair?

SOPHIE: Blonde

​

ME: And your eyes?

​

SOPHIE: They’re blue. (She smiles) These are really easy. I expected harder questions.

​

ME: I’m forming your demographic info at the moment, but they shouldn’t ever get too complicated.

​

SOPHIE: That’s good. I was nervous.

​

ME: How much do you weigh?

​

SOPHIE: Oof, spoke too soon. (She wrinkles her nose but answers anyway) Um… like 10 stone or there abouts.

ME: Do you have any siblings?

​

SOPHIE: (Shakes her head) No.

​

ME: Where were you born?

​

SOPHIE: I don’t know. I’m adopted. Nobody knows.

​

ME: Where do you live now?

​

SOPHIE: I have a small studio apartment. It’s tiny but (she shrugs) it’s fine.

​

ME: Do you have any medical problems?

​

She sighs, smiles and stands.
