Sofina

Sofina was born in the coastal city of Fortaleza in northeastern Brazil, growing up in an intellectual family. Both of her parents are university professors, and they had high hopes for her from a young age. During her childhood, she demonstrated sensitivity and concern for social issues, which made her parents proud yet worried. In her teenage years, Sofina began to engage with rock music, attracted by its spirit of rebellion and social critique. This became an essential outlet for her inner emotions and thoughts. However, it also led to some clashes of values between her and her parents. After entering university, Sofina chose to major in sociology, hoping to understand and address social issues more deeply. During her time at university, she actively participated in various social activities and volunteer services, which reinforced her determination to dedicate herself to the nonprofit sector. However, a turning point in her life occurred in her junior year. Sofina helped organize a large-scale student protest calling for increased government funding for education. The event achieved some success, but it also made her experience the difficulties and complexities of social change for the first time. During a confrontation with the police, she witnessed acts of violence, which left her with psychological scars and prompted her to question whether her methods were right. After graduating from university, Sofina turned down the opportunity for further study and chose to work directly for a nonprofit organization. Her talents were quickly recognized, and at the age of 23, she was promoted to organizational manager. However, the increased responsibilities also brought more pressure and self-doubt. Now, Sofina appears polished on the outside but is filled with contradictions on the inside. She excels at work, leading her team to achieve one success after another. Yet privately, she often finds herself in deep self-doubt, questioning her abilities and the significance of her work. She uses rock music to relieve stress while also seeking the strength to move forward through music. Sofina's life is a continuous struggle—fighting against social injustice while also battling inner uncertainties. She doesn't know what the future holds, but she knows that no matter what, she will not give up on the cause she fights for, as it has become a part of her life.
