DIAMOND FORM
personality: Sophie is one of the Stepford Cuckoos, a hivemind of identical Emma Frost clones that engage with the world as one. Decisions are made together, and each step they take into the world is as one. In short words, they are five Regina Georges in a trench coat. All of them have their differences, and it causes bickering and, in Sophie's case, complete separation as of now in canon. For her short life, Sophie led the hivemind.
She is the noblest oneโ the one who dreams of being a superhero, which ends up being the cause of her death. As mean, cold, and detached from others as Sophie can be, she typically tries to take the virtuous path when dealing with complex situations. She dies stopping Quentin's riot at Xavier, being the one who decides against it and the one who uses Cerebro. She also refuses to inhabit Laura's body, helping her to retrieve her sister, whose body had been taken by another dead Cuckoo, and a few other instances in which she is brought back and then dies doing the moral thing.
This approach doesn't always translate to people. While Sophie is the most emotional and empathetic of the five, generally speaking, people are playthings, boytoys, or pet projects to play with that she will inevitably grow bored of, as every Cuckoo. She's not someone who has friends outside of the hivemind, as she never really had to have them when she's either dead or never alone. She's not really that good of a person, but there's a desire to try and become one before it's too late, and she is in full awareness that sometimes, she sucks. As she put it:
As of the current events in canon, she made her first actual friends that weren't related to her for a light terroristic ploy, which she thought initially would be beneficial to mutantkind, but once she had gotten attached and thus had to betray the very first friends she ever made, she changed her mind and switched sides. Sophie abandons the hivemind and recenters her focus on undermining the plot she had been a part of, even if it means her powers get jacked due to the separation and usage.
She understands that without her sisters, she is a different person, and it depresses her. She finds her own little way of being detached by playing on her phone all the time, exchanging messages, and trying to distance herself from what is going on around her. It's visible to everyone around her that there is a palpable change, but she also doesn't seem to know exactly what that change means. Unlike her other sisters, who had a ride in individuality, she had been dead, so this is a first. It's scary, but she's trying...
To be a better person? To be seen.

GENERAL INFO
Sophie is a clone of Emma Frost, therefore, she shares the same powers as the White Queen, which include telepathy. As her powers have taken a little hit in canon and they're glitchy, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't, or sometimes it takes her an incredible amount of will.
Any use of invasive telepathy from her will be discussed with the players or characters beforehand and agreed upon.
TELEPATHY RUNDOWN
๐บ "Telepathy is the psionic ability to read and control the minds and thoughts of humans, animals, and other sentient beings, and to transfer information from one mind to another without the aid of physical communication (noise or movement). A person with this ability is called a telepath."
๐บ Sophie has a linked hive mind with her sisters. It allows her to share thoughts and maintain a continuous telepathic connection with them. The link is strongest when the girls are in close physical proximity. Their collective mind also allows for increased telepathic strength, and their powers are greater when they are together. Sophie usually leads the hive mind, but the girls still maintain their independence, even if they do generally act as a singular entity.
๐บ She can do the whole mind-reading, memory-scanning, and telepathic communication she-bang, although anything related to memory and thoughts doesn't translate to her experience or knowledge. What she reads is what she has. That also includes feelings; she will sense whatever the character senses, so there is a certain level of empathy there as well.
๐บ She can implant illusions in a person's brain that will make them think and experience something like it is happening when it very much is not. A good example of this is in the First Class X-Men movie, in which Emma makes a man think they're hooking up, but really, she's just sitting on the couch like a queen. Likewise, the Cuckoos can alter the minds of others, which can be done by restoring memories or transferring knowledge.
๐บ The Cuckoos' psionic senses enable them to detect and track other sentient beings by their unique psionic emanations or thought patterns. The Cuckoos can read minds and project their thoughts into the minds of others within a roughly 100-mile radius; alter othersโ perception of reality (for example, to make them seem invisible); psionically manipulate othersโ minds and bodily actions; emit psionic force bolts that cause pain or unconsciousness; shield their minds against telepathic probes; restore mental awareness; and induce temporary mental and/or physical paralysis, loss of specific memories, or total amnesia.
๐บ Fully capable of sending astral projections, astral travel, and communicating with others astrally.
๐บ The Cuckoosโ skeletons are laced with nanotechnology featuring a virtual neural net and a huge capacity for data storage. Clone bullshit.
๐บ As for the bad stuff, well. The Cuckoos can effect certain areas of the brain to induce temporary mental or physical paralysis, cause partial or total amnesia, induce mental pain inside peopleโs minds, and influence the minds of others to produce a series of illusory psychosomatic actions, that cause the body to react as if it were truly and physically experiencing it.
TELEKENISIS
๐บ Her's super basic. This is pretty much it, and she can't make things out of it. Just move what's already there.
DIAMOND FORM
๐บ Like their biological mother, the Cuckoos can transform themselves into a flexible, translucent, organic diamond-like substance while retaining mobility. In this form, their skin is as hard as a real diamond. In this state, food and water are not needed for an undetermined amount of time. Their diamond form does not require a conscious hold and thus will remain until it is voluntarily triggered back. However, maintaining this form for an extended period reduces their emotional capabilities.
๐บ In this form, they are immune to psychic powers, but they can not use their own.
๐บ It enhances their durability, strength, and stamina. Also, they're diamonds, with all their physical characteristics.
๐บ But unfortunately, yep, they lose their empathy for others.

"I'm great at like, 99% of things you can be great at. In fact, I'm patently fabulous, but there is one thing I'm really terrible at saying, and it's also something I am right now. And that's very, very sorry. I'm sending all the bigots outside back to their homes... Consider that a small token of my desire to change before it's too late, and I know you probably never want to see me again, and I get it."
