Rosy and quick to smile, she seems forever on the verge of laughter, though she sometimes ducks her face as if trying to keep it to herself. A tiny mole on her lip gives her bright, playful charm a memorable signature.

Princess Sophie is the youngest princess in Count Bezukhov’s household, a cheerful presence among the family’s more anxious scenes. Her laughter and shy smiles give her a lightness that contrasts with the tension surrounding the old count. She is often seen in the company of Julie Karágina, and later spends her days sitting with her. The book offers little account of her beyond these glimpses, but her buoyant manner makes them vivid.

Description

Princess Sophie is pretty and rosy-cheeked, with a small mole on her lip that distinguishes her face. Her expression is lively and readily warmed by a smile, often suggesting that laughter is close at hand. She wears the polished, feminine dress of a young aristocratic woman and is associated with delicate pursuits such as embroidery. Her manner is cheerful and light, with a shy habit of hiding a smile behind her hand or a handkerchief.
