Sophie's motivations for being Miss Teen Elkford[]

Given that Sophie finds this achievement embarrassing, I wondered why she did it at all.

I don't have much experience with beauty pageants, but don't contestants usually nominate some cause or charity they support as part of the contest?

Which might explain why Sophie did it, she either wanted to support whatever her cause/charity was or to donate the prize money to it after she won.
Given that Maria says her compassionate nature is a defining characteristic of her personality, that would make the above scenario the most likely one.

Given that Sophie is comfortable with both acting and public speaking, it's extremely unlikely she has stage fright or fears about public performance.


An alternative theory is that her parents pressured her into doing it and she just didn't have the heart to tell them no.
Something along the lines of "you're a beautiful girl, so why not go into the contest?".Buckmana (talk) 18:22, January 19, 2014 (UTC)
