Tropes
- Action Girl: Several of her characters are action oriented.
- Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: Sofia was introduced to the recurring role of Marisa Sierras on The Young and the Restless in 2015 as part of the storyline involving Victor's plot to take over Jabot by having Marco assume Jack's life. Her character originally had a Latin American accent note , but over time Pernas continually slipped out of that accent, increasingly Not Even Bothering with the Accent by using an Americanized one.
- Omniglot: Her mother is from Morocco, while her father is from Spain, both are multilingual. As a result she speaks four languages including Arabic, English, Spanish and German.
