“I don’t think I am the only one. One even has a cookie business he wants to build up” Sophie replied and she was helping Rocco with that as well. So as a doll and clothes got picked out she did take photos of his body art do they could pick out one or two of these to add to the doll. Orson Ridge

"You guys are so much more innovative than the kids that I once knew. I mean I think a part of that was because it is so strict but here it's different maybe they will come here and get a chance one day but will have to see." Sophie Chang

Looking back at Orson she replied “I knew what being in a loving family was like. We had enough and life wasn’t always safe but my father and aunt always made it fun. Now it’s me who is the big sister looking out for the younger ones. I had Barbies and even made a car for her out of various cardboard packaging. Then my dad painted it red for me”. Sophie had been creative for years now but she added “the support dolls came from wanting a representation of my mother. She’s alive and on the island now but couldn’t be part of my life as I grew up. This was how I pictured her based on the stories I heard”. So going to a shelf she took down a custom doll that would remind you of a demon. The skin was red, the long hair was black, a red spiked tail was present and this doll had flames coming from her hands. The outfit was long shorts, boots and a black t-shirt. Showing this to Orson she continued “the world couldn’t leave her alone and chased her. So to have food, shelter and money she had to do crime. She wants to do better now she’s here and to make things better in the slums”. Orson Ridge

He found dolls expressive which with barbie and what not he thought was the point and the stories behind them even more so. "Well," he said as he looked on. "When the world won't let a person be I think surviving in that world leads them to do what they need." Was it good, was it bad he could not say. "Looks awesome though." Sophie Chang

Sophie did worry for the younger children round here. Somebody would need to do she was motivated to do as much as she could. It wouldn’t have taken much to have changed her path in life into the one her mothers had to take. Having heard some of her mother’s adventures via her aunt she had been impressed. So that motivation would pass onto her. “Thank you Orson. My mother had to do all that and I can admire it. She never gave up and while I got a better start I knew I might have to fight as well. I knew that even before leaving LA”. Orson Ridge

"Sounds like she was more resilitent than she could have been because some people give up and others give in. I think that not giving up while it might be tiring in the end is the better option but everyone has to decide for themself." Sophie Chang

Sophie’s battles were likely to be here on this island. Her future ones might be to defend it but here she had a stable place to live and learn as well to give back to others. “When you don’t give you tend to be the last one standing. Which probally explained why my father lived longer than other triad fighters. Same for my mother” she replied. She would be setting her own path being here so could admit that past her parents had.

"Well as painful as it might be at least your future seems brighter than your past and that is what keeps me going. I have seen and dealt with a few mean people but at the end of the day it's their loss and my path is hopefully cut for better things than just them that made me feel weaker than I want to be."

“You can have a brighter future. You probally will once you figure out what you want to do. You can start right here to change things” Sophie replied. Not just in the orphanage but outside it. Something she understood herself as she did what she could to help out round her. Orson Ridge

"I will and I'll let you know if I get a meeting with Gigi and see how it goes. Here's to always staying positive." He hoped it would go okay because if it did not he did not know what that would lead too. end Sophie Changthank you! Admin
