The Walking Dead: Comic Dub
Hazel Nut for Sophia Grimes
Age: 8-13, 33-38 (age changes during the series)
Sophia Grimes (née unknown) is a main character first encountered in Issue 2 of Image Comics' The Walking Dead. She is the daughter of Carol and the only surviving member of her family. After her mother's death, Sophia was adopted by Glenn and Maggie. Several years after Rick Grimes' death, Sophia married to Carl Grimes and she gave birth to their daughter.
Sophia is first shown to be a very sweet and shy young girl who relies on her mother at the start of the outbreak. After her mother, Carol, dies, she decides to forget about her completely, and acts like Glenn and Maggie were always her real parents. A lot of the group members had thought she was mentally unstable, but really she was just blocking her mothers memory out so she wouldn't be sad. After the events of All Out War, Sophia had matured greatly, and had become much more independent. She is shown to still care for others, but it can be seen that she wants people to know that she isn't just a little girl.
Sophia's biggest weakness however, would be not being loved. Sophia confesses to Maggie that she feels like Maggie might abandon her because she had moved on from Glenn, and she also confesses to Carl that she's sick of being alone and is looking for a relationship. This shows that Sophia holds on to the ones she loves, and cares for them deeply, but can't deal with losing them.

Time Commitment: 2 Years, 7 Months (31 Volumes)
This is HUGE role that doesn't actually get big until a ways in. Sophia starts as an 8 year old girl, growing up to age 14 throughout the course of the series. Then, in the last issue of the entire series, she is in her 30s. If your voice doesn't work for the 30 year old version, or even the 13 year old version, but are still the right fit for the role at age 8, another actor(s) will just step in when the time comes.
"You think my daddy will come back too? Your daddy was dead and he came back. (...) Oh... I miss my daddy."
- Sophie (8) asking Carl if her dad will come back like his did.
"I know you weren't my real parents. But you felt like my parents, and I thought you loved Glenn. If you don't love him anymore... What does that mean? Were you ever really in love. Did you ever really love me? And even if you did.. Will you stop like you stopped loving him?"
—Sophia (13) to Maggie about her relationship with Dante.
"I know. I know. I haven't been scared, really scared in... I can't even remember. Do you think there was ever a time when people appreciated what they have more than they do now? [...] I love you, Carl Grimes."
—Sophia (in her 30s) to her husband Carl.
Amazing transitions in age for this character. Have to say your performance gave me goosebumps! Awesome work!
