Background
Sofia is a beautiful, sweet and adorable young girl of humble origins who lives with her mother Miranda. Her father is absent for reasons unknown. She becomes royalty after her mothers remarriage.

Trivia

 * Despite being a princess and being directly affiliated with Disney Princesses in her show, Sofia will not join the official line up, possibly because she is too young and is probably closer in age to characters like Melody and Alice, instead of Aurora and Jasmine.
 * She has two step siblings named Amber and James.
 * She screams like a banshee.
 * On a press tour, executive producer Jamie Mitchell said, "She is Latina" after one reporter asked about Sofia's mother's darker skin. This makes Sofia Disney's first Latina princess to appear in an animation project.
