Sofia, wife to Marco, head of the Fariel family, and mother to Katarina, possesses a beauty recognized throughout Venice. Her features include wavy brunette hair with chest-length strands framing her face, dark forest-green eyes, and full pink lips. Katarina inherited similar traits, resulting in a striking resemblance between mother and daughter. Sofia deeply loves her daughter but initially struggles to express opposition to Marco's opinions or orders, a reluctance stemming from an upbringing emphasizing compliance with her husband's authority. This prevented her from directly challenging his decisions. Her character shifts after encountering Arte Spaletti. Inspired by Arte's words, Sofia finds the resolve to prioritize her daughter's well-being over Marco's directives, daring to voice dissent for Katarina's benefit. A background rumor suggests Sofia had an affair with a man named Yuri, resulting in a pregnancy. The name Sofia, meaning "wisdom" in Greek, contrasts with her limited agency early in her story. Her journey reflects a movement toward asserting her maternal concerns despite familial constraints.
