Sophia is another farmer who is added when players install Stardew Valley Expanded. She is a marriage candidate that’s incredibly shy and into nerdy activities, like reading manga and cosplaying. This is a bit different from the hobbies of the rest of the town in Stardew Valley. Since Sophia doesn’t go out much, she can be rather hard to find for players who haven’t yet gone to her farm.
She has fewer loves than the other newer additions to the game, making her a bit hard to romance. For players looking to marry Sophia, the guide below provides everything you need to know about this shy farmer.

Sophia works at her farm and has a birthday in Winter that she will give up extra friendship points on.
