Sophia Forrester is the Silvana's nineteen-year-old first officer and holds the title Vice-Captain. Another graduate of the Anatoray Officer's Academy along with Vincent Alzey, she is one of the few people Alex Row trusts and is often seen left in command of the ship when the Captain is out in pursuit of his own agenda. Interestingly Sophia was assigned to be an onboard spy to reveal data anything to the emperor, but Sophia fell in love with Alex and never revealed anything compromising about Alex. Somehow the whole crew either figured it out or they found out Sophia was a spy, but also truly loves Alex and won't betray the Silvana crew. Her feelings for Alex and sometimes reveals too much, much to Row's chagrin in his sometimes snarky comments to her. Sophia is of royal heritage and the daughter of the Anatoray emperor.
