 }}The “first” incarnation of '''[[Sophie Everytime]]''' was the daughter of [[Lord Thymon]] and of the [[38167th Universe]]'s [[Jenny Everywhere (38167th Universe)|version of Jenny Everywhere]]. She was a time-shifter.

+===Physical appearance===
 Sophie had “warm brown skin (…) the same colour as Jenny’s”. Her “long, thick locks of navy-blue hair” resembled [[Lord Thymon|her father]]'s tentacles and may in fact have been prehensile; they matched her eyes, which “weren’t quite glowing, but (…) were a blue that eyes should not be. Not sea-blue or steel-blue or sky-blue, but the bluest blue, an intense, darkly electric hue; [[Fremen]] blue”.
-As a child of six or seven, she wore a “slightly-oversized green sweater”, blue-jean shorts that exposed lightly-scraped knees, and “simple, sturdy sandals”. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Family Business (short story)|Family Business]]'')

 In a combination of her [[Lord Thymon|father]] and [[Jenny Everywhere (38167th Universe)|mother]]'s powers, Sophie was a “time-[[shift]]er” capable of teleporting herself through time as well as universes. She also had more refined temporal abilities, including locally freezing time by drawing blue, glowing runes in the air and travelling through [[meta-time]] (although, as a child, she needed [[Tiny Thymon]]'s help to achieve this). She had also inherited Thymon's eldritch voice, making her words have a particular resonance with reality; unable to properly control her ability to speak things into existence, the child version of Sophie mostly communicated in sign language, but, with an effort of concentration, she was occasionally able to speak aloud without causing any supenatural events, or while focusing the power well enough to actually leverage this power for a useful purpose.

+===Conception and birth===
 Sophie was conceived by [[Lord Thymon]] and [[Jenny Everywhere (38167th Universe)|Jenny Everywhere]] in [[Lord Thymon's house]] in the [[Cupid Homeworld]]. The two became aware of Jenny's pregnancy the following morning, when they were confronted by a time-shifted version of Sophie from [[#Back to 2022|a few years into the future]]. Her presence prompted them to choose the name they would give to her once she was properly born, taking “Everytime” from a mash-up of their names (“Everywhere” and “Thymon”), and “Sophie” from Jenny's maternal grandmother [[Sophie Stropcliffe]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Family Business (short story)|Family Business]]'')

+===Early life===
 Over the first six years of her life or so, Sophie got to know many of her parents' friends, partners and relatives. She was particularly fond of “[[Aunt Pixie]]” ([[Pixie Pristine]]), in part because the [[fairy]] gave Sophie bubblegum every time she visited. She also had a good relationship with her “[[Cousin Tiny]]”, [[Lord Thymon]]'s nephew and successor [[Tiny Thymon]]. She also got to know [[Jenny Nowhere (38167th Universe)|“Auntie Nowhere”]], whom she deemed her least favourite aunt.
 At some point, having been told by [[Jenny Everywhere (38167th Universe)|Jenny]] and Thymon that she would need that knowledge someday, she shifted back in [[meta-time]] in the [[38167th Universe]] with Tiny's help to before Jenny's sister became Jenny Nowhere, thus finding out Nowhere's original name.

+===Back to 2022===
 Eventually, a six- or seven-year-old Sophie shifted back in time to June 17th, 2022, appearing in the kitchen of [[Lord Thymon's house]]. [[Jenny Everywhere (38167th Universe)|Jenny]] and [[Lord Thymon|Thymon]] quickly figured out who she was, and, dipping into [[the Infinite]] for a few minutes to talk privately, they agreed on a name and settled on a plan to take opportunity of this event to introduce the time-shifted child to their respective loved ones in advance.

 During her time in the Nowhere psychic network, Sophie had realised the reason that none of the adults' powers were working right on the Island: Nowhere Island was itself an incarnation of Jenny Nowhere, despite not really being sentient in a conventional sense, and her aura was cancelling out theirs. Thus, they realised that they simply had to build a boat and row out far enough from the shores. After dropping Over-There, Jimmy and Laura home, Jenny and Thymon finally returned to the Cupid Homeworld with Sophie. Upset to have missed a day at the office, Thymon was shifted back in time to the morning by Sophie, who then hugged Jenny one more time before returning to her own time-zone. Jenny only dwelled on her bittersweetness at having to wait nine more months to see her again briefly, before her mind settled on a new adventure. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Family Business (short story)|Family Business]]'')
+=== Early teen years===
+As a teenager “a few years” older than [[Professor Awesome (Parallax Universe)|Professor Awesome]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[How Jenny First Met… (short story)|How Jenny First Met…]]'') who was around thirteen, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Paying It Forward (novel)|Paying It Forward]]'') Sophie went on a trip across [[the Multiverse]] seeking various people who knew incarnations of [[Jenny Everywhere|her mother]] and asking them to tell her about their first meetings with their respective Jennies. She started with the [[Laura Drake (The Folly of Men)|Laura Drake]] of [[Jenny Cornelius]]'s [[Universe (The Folly of Men)|universe]], before visiting a [[Lord Grallyx (How Jenny First Met…)|Lord Grallyx]] who'd been imprisoned in [[the Wrong Rock|an asteroid]] in [[Universe (How Jenny First Met…)|a universe]] where “[[the Everywhere]]” won an interstellar war against him, getting him to talk to her by using her powers to reduce his waiting time to be released by one hundred years (though she simply achieved this by speeding time up from his subjective perspective, meaning he would get out no earlier from the perspective of the wider universe).
+She then headed to the [[Parallax Universe]] to meet [[Professor Awesome (Parallax Universe)|Professor Awesome]], alias Eric, who had been driven to a {{w|Sukkot|Sukkot}} meal at the [[Emanuel temple]] by [[David Lowe]]. She found the teenaged [[mad scientist]] talking with [[Herbie Popnecker]], whom she already knew as they got candy from the same supernatural place. Though confused at her general existence, Eric developed a mild crush on the older girl. She playfully challenged him to find a way to contact her even though she hadn't given him her number — having previously dropped hints that her mother was a version of Jenny Everywhere, but not told him outright. [[David Lowe]] saw her briefly when he came to pick Eric up; though he could tell she was someone special, he had never seen her before, as he told Eric on the way home. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[How Jenny First Met… (short story)|How Jenny First Met…]]'')
+==== The Sophiad ====
+Some time later Eric had an accident with an explosive left behind by a [[Octobriana|careless visitor]] during one of Jenny’s adventures, and at exactly the right time Sophie reappeared to give him a magical healing lollipop of the kind [[Herbie Popnecker]] enjoyed, mentioning in passing, “You can’t get them around here.” She then told him she didn’t think she should be there yet, gave him a [[Thymon Plushy|plush toy]] to remember her by, and [[Shift|shifted]] away. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Preludes and Knick-knacks (short story)|Preludes and Knick-knacks]]'')
+Back at home, she concealed the remaining two magical lollipops where only she or a Thymon could easily get to them, so that they would be ready when the time was right for Eric to eat them. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Treat Counting (short story)|Treat Counting]]'')
+Sometime after this she would hear from [[Tiny Thymon|her cousin]] that Eric had built a shift engine and left his universe, but had been returned home safely. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Doll’s Source (short story)|The Doll’s Source]]'')
+Sophie went to a Norse [[Althing]] to talk to a respected skald and seer there, in hopes of finding hints about Eric’s future without conventional prophecy. While there were sagas featuring “Erick the Mortal Blooded, cleverest of his generation” none were particularly useful to her, though many did include some interaction with the “Princess of Ages, daughter of the Lord of the Turning of Seasons.” This conversation was interrupted when she felt someone else [[shift]] into the universe nearby. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Session of Mystics (short story)|Session of Mystics]]'')
+The other visitor turned out to be [[Drove_of_the_Demesmaekerite-Dyed_Discordias|familiar]] to her, leading to the next tale.
+One day Eric came home to a letter on his door from Sophie, inviting him to meet her elsewhere in the city early in the morning the next day. When he got off the bus she took him to a nearby park where she had concealed a [[Smog Ship|peculiar dimensional transport]], which she explained she couldn’t take home or leave unguarded – so she planned to blow it up! She enlisted his help to rig up a time delay mechanism to make the machine shift to another dimension after they had gotten out, and then set off some dynamite. After doing this, they had all day to spend together. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Game of Two (short story)|A Game of Two]]'')
