Sofia.

Today I'm going to tell you about the most mysterious character of the game – the hostess of the wood cabin. She's shy, silent and cagey person. I can't tell you any reliable facts about her because every time she tells a different story about herself.

A case in point is that she has a big poster of Death from Neil Gaiman's Sandman at the reception. There is the author's signature on it, but it's almost invisible from the gameplay. This poster has a story. Even two stories.

Sofia tells the first one when she's in a good mood and has some spare time to chat. Once she was going to the bookshop to the public meeting with Neil Gaiman. She put on a costume of Death from Sandman and took a bus. Other passengers were looking askance at her, but none of them could guess what character she was imitating. The bus conked out half way to the bookshop.

At once she realized that there was no point in waiting for the bus to be fixed. So she just went by herself hoping to catch a ride. No surprise there were no volunteers to pick her up because of her costume. An hour later she heard somebody screaming "Bugger me! It's Death!" Then she saw a massive Harley hogging the road. The huge biker took off his helmet and smiled into his red beard. "I am Destruction! – He said, - I'm going to give you a lift, Death".

And they rushed to meet their favorite author. Everything was perfect for ten minutes, but then it started to rain and it was so heavy that they had to slow down to the minimum. They were drenched to the skin when they reached the bookshop. The meeting was over and Neil Gaiman was leaving, but when he saw Death and Destruction dripping wet he couldn't help bursting into laughter. Seeing them happy the writer stayed for a little longer and gave Sofia a signed poster.

But if you happen to find in her bad spirits she would just tell you that she got the poster from eBay and chose it only because it fitted into the wall box. What is real and what is not is impossible to know, so as her real name and her origins.

Probably, if you play my game you would be able to tell who is Sofia.
