* BreakTheCutie: Sofia heartbreakingly went through this in August 2022, following her breakup with Brooklynne Webb (a Canadian-born creator known primarily for her body positivity and feminist empowerment content aimed primarily at teen and preteen girls), after the latter allegedly [[https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/sofia-gomez-xobrooklynne-allegations/ tried to sexually assault Sofia]] while Brooklynne was spending the night at her house following a creator event. After initially believing Sofia after she came forward about the incident in a [=TikTok=] post, many of Brooklynne's fans turned on Sofia instead after the former posted a [=TikTok=] of her own rebutting the claims, in which Brooklynne comported herself in a way that many of them [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnFemale came to doubt Sofia's story]] and accused her of lying for attention (citing another since-deleted [=TikTok=] she posted of a song she wrote that alluded to the incident, and claims that she smiled at times[[note]](a common physical tic among people dealing with/talking about uncomfortable situations, often misconstrued as being deceitful or not taking such situations seriously)[[/note]] and faked tears during the video in which she made the allegations). Sofia lost around 300,000 [=TikTok=] followers (out of the 5.6 million she had at the time) amid the backlash.

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnFemale: A rare example of a real-life situation involving a same-sex couple, Sofia was heartbreakingly subjected to this in August 2022, following her breakup with Brooklynne Webb (a Canadian-born creator known primarily for her body positivity and feminist empowerment content aimed primarily at teen and preteen girls), whom Sofia alleged had [[https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/sofia-gomez-xobrooklynne-allegations/ attempted to sexually assault her]] while Brooklynne was spending the night at her house following a creator event.

* KaleidoscopeHair: Naturally a curly-haired brunette (who usually wears her hair straight), Sofia went through a hair dying evolution starting in 2022; she first mixed in streaks of various colors in with her brown locks, then briefly went back fully brunette, before going blonde that November; she changed it briefly to velvet red by Summer 2023, then blue, then (by April 2024) a dark brown/blue balayage, although she stated she intends to revert back to her natural color.

* MsFanservice: Her top-heavy figure has certainly earned her a bit of this reputation online, with her fair share of "thirst trap" bikini videos that are very popular, and her cosplays are often of the revealing variety (with her physique being befitting at times with the characters she portrays, many of which are anime characters of similar build). She parlayed this with her [=OnlyFans=] account (which Sofia joined in May 2022, ironically, given the site's and her fanbase's heavy male lean, while she identified as a lesbian), although her content there is generally non-nude[[note]](usually going no further than implied toplessness)[[/note]] and unlike other cosplay creators who create content for that platform, has only featured cosplays occasionally.

* SillyAnimalSound: She gained cachet for her impression of Perry the Platypus, which was so spot-on that some of her followers actually thought she voiced the character (voiced by Creator/DeeBradleyBaker, whom Sofia later acknowledged in an April 2024 Twitch stream she hasn't met yet).[[note]]For the record, Sofia was 6 when ''Phineas and Ferb'' (whose youngest voice cast members were no younger than 10 at the time of its debut) premiered.[[/note]] She still does it for her fans on occasion, including on her Twitch streams.

* SerialRomeo: Sofia considers herself a hopeless romantic (if the fact she's a [[Music/TaylorSwift Swiftie]] and has said she religiously watches her favorite romance anime, ''Your Lie in April'', every April weren't clues), has had a string of committed relationships since she was a teenager[[note]](even listing her high school loves and how each relationship ended in a video she posted on one of her [=TikTok=] spam accounts)[[/note]], and, unlike many female creators with majority male fanbases, has not been shy about making those relationships "social media official" (including those with Brooklynne Webb and most recently Zach Aguilar).

Sofia, who had done occasional acting and modeling work since she was 8 (including a non-speaking role in a 2012 UsefulNotes/McDonalds [[https://youtu.be/J_iimOnx6Qk?si=wTyCmHK8IZRIdSzU Super Bowl ad]]), first started uploading videos on Platform/{{TikTok}} as a high school senior in 2019, making various types of content across three (later four) accounts.[[note]]Her main page [=@sofiiiiagomez=] (initially consisting of mainly dancing, [=POV=]/acting and singing videos, before shifting towards primarily cosplays and her favorite fandoms), [=@sofiiiiaspams=] (her primary spam account, primarily featuring videos highlighting her quirky personality), and [=@sofiacinematic=] (featuring mostly talking videos, and occasional acting and singing videos); a fourth, [=@simplysofiiiia=] (featuring various types of videos, including talking videos, dance videos and additional cosplays), was launched in 2021. (She has since focused her content entirely on the main account.)[[/note]] Although Sofia had a couple of videos go viral beforehand, she first gained social media attention on [=TikTok=] in 2020, for her spot-on impression of Perry the Platypus from ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'', and for her take on a trend set to the ''Film/MammaMia'' cover of Music/{{ABBA}}'s "Lay All Your Love on Me" (as performed by Creator/AmandaSeyfried and Creator/DominicCooper). She soon gained a sizable male following for the latter video and resulting subsequent posts of similar bikini "thirst trap" videos highlighting her buxom physique (mostly filmed after she turned 18). By late 2020, Gomez's content shifted primarily towards cosplays, and highlighting her fandom of various anime and manga; she became a full-time creator by that point, and began streaming on Platform/{{Twitch}}, and posting on Platform/YouTube (primarily vlogs, and merchandise hauls of various anime memorabilia) and Patreon (mainly cosplays and behind-the-scenes material); she would later join the more risqué subscription platform [=OnlyFans=] in 2022.

* AuthorAppeal: Since the Fall of 2020, her videos mostly involve cosplays, especially those from anime and manga such as ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' and ''Manga/DeathNote''.
