Sophie Brooks

Sophie Brooks is a native Likatonian, a high-ranking member of the Native Likatonian Party, and is currently the only woman to hold such a role. She likewise carries great influence in the NLP's secretive Order of the Morning Flower.

Early Life
Sophie was born to working class parents in an industrialized town of West Bolton. Her father served as an artisan, while her mother did odd jobs to help their family financially. In the poor, rural community in which she grew up, there were many non-Likatonian minorities who worked in the mines or in the fields. Sophie has confided to friends that, while taking small jobs close to these locations in her teenage years, she was often harassed by the non-Likatonian workers, which molded her poor view of them at an early age.

Political Life
In her late teens, Sophie took an interest in politics, and was at first convinced of socialist leanings. She later recanted these views when her egalitarian peers were shocked of her racial views. Sophie was likewise appalled by the liberal views of sexuality, and with it the socialist view of women in marriage. At first she was hesitant to speak openly about this, but later began to voice her opinion even at party meetings. She later claimed to have received harassment and death threats - including threats of rape from non-Likatonian former allies. Fearing for her life, she eventually fled to East Bolton.

In her new location, she encountered various reactionary parties that held her own racial views. At the same time, she lamented that many of them had a poor grasp on women issues, and used her knowledge of socialist arguments and tactics to counter the growing progressive influence among Likatonian females. Eventually her reactionary group would join the Likatonian Party (later the NLP), and her teachings and writings would assist in formulating the basis for the all-women Order of the Morning Flower.
