Let's take a closer look at Sophia's evolution to get a deeper understanding of her as a character and what might be coming for her in season 2!

The Penguin’s Sofia Falcone is a departure from her comic book and animated film counterpart. Sophia is like the titular Oz Cobb in many ways. Both are strategic, observant, and know how to appeal to other peoples’ egos. And, along with her controlling family, Oz knows this highly intelligent, chillingly calculated woman is usually right, prompting them to do whatever they can to minimize her power.

So let’s take a look at Sofia’s evolution from mafia don’s daughter to empowered mob boss, and how she stayed true to herself despite many attempts to make her into someone else
