Web Video / Sofia Gomez

Sofia Gomez (born June 30, 2002) is an American content creator and voice actress of Brazilian and Colombian heritage, best known for her cosplaying content, in which she cosplays as various anime, comic book, and manga characters.

Sofia, who had done occasional acting and modeling work since she was 8 (including a non-speaking role in a 2012 McDonald's Super Bowl ad), first started uploading videos on 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.) 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 Phineas and Ferb, and for her take on a trend set to the Mamma Mia! cover of ABBA's "Lay All Your Love on Me" (as performed by Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper). 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). In October 2020, Gomez's content began shifting 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 Twitch, and posting on 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.

She parlayed her content career to enter into voice acting (partly as a result of the attention she received from the Perry videos), landing her first role in 2022 as TZ in the English dub of the Chinese animated series Kung Fu Wa.

---

Tropes:

• Author Appeal: Since October 2020, her videos mostly involve cosplays, especially those from anime and manga such as Attack on Titan and Death Note.
• Author Filibuster: In an April 2021 TikTok post reviewing the Miraculous Ladybug episode "Gang of Secrets'', she went on a mini-rant about Tikki's obliviousness of Plagg's feelings for her, comparing their interactions to those of Marinette and Adrien.
  Sofia: (imitating Tikki): "'We want to help you, Marinette, but Kwamis can't fall in love.'" (in normal voice): "LIARRRRRRR! What about Plagg?! What about Plagg?! Plagg's in love with you, Tikki, huh?!" (flips to normal voice mid-Tikki imitation): "'Kwamis don't fall in—.' Yes, they do! Yes, they do. Tikki, babe, your—your Adrien is showing."
• Break the Cutie: Sofia heartbreakingly went through this in August 2022, after she revealed in a since-deleted TikTok post that she broke up with Brooklynne Webb (a Canadian-born creator known primarily for her body positivity and female empowerment content aimed primarily at teen and preteen girls) following an incident that occurred 10 days earlier in which she accused Brooklynne of trying to sexually assault her while spending the night at Sofia's house following a creator event. Amid pressure from her fans to explain her side, Brooklynne posted a TikTok of her own (also since deleted) two days later rebutting the claims, comporting herself in a way that many of her fans began casting doubt about Sofia's story and accused the latter 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) and tried to force herself to cry during the video in which she made the allegations). While less important than what Sofia had to go through, she lost around 300,000 TikTok followers (out of the 5.6 million she had at the time) amid the backlash.^note Incidentally, Brooklynne had an indirect connection to another sexual assault allegation made nine months before Sofia's accusation against her: in November 2021, Brooklynne's friend and frequent collaborator Noor Dabash accused fellow TikToker Nickolas Ray of raping her while she was intoxicated at a creator party earlier that Summer (Dabash and Ray were 17 and 21, respectively, at the time), with Ray accusing her of falsifying the story for social media attention.
• Buxom Beauty Standard: If the comments are anything to go by, Sofia's large bust proved to make her cosplay and "thirst trap" videos really popular, especially with the male demographic. The video that codified this, in which Sofia wore a grey bikini highlighting her curves, was part of a Summer 2020 TikTok trend set to the Amanda Seyfried-Dominic Cooper cover of ABBA's “Lay All Your Love on Me” from Mamma Mia! (in which posters skipped/crawled on a beach and then splayed themselves on the sand as the titular line was sung);^note The video, which was filmed following a modeling photoshoot Sofia did with friend and fellow creator/model Christina Joy, was partly inspired by a similar video (since deleted) from that trend posted by fellow creator/model Sydney May Vezina. this particular version (one of several TikToks Sofia did set to that sound) was briefly the most-viewed video associated with that trend, before being surpassed by a version by Addison Rae. She later would lampshade her attributes in the caption of her OnlyFans page ("just a girl with a body worth showing off"). Before her top-heavy physique became beneficial to her content creation career, Sofia was actually very self-conscious about her body throughout high school, even noting in one TikTok post that she stopped wearing glasses to school after male classmates frequently made jokes comparing her to adult film star-turned-influencer Mia Khalifa, and in another (since deleted) video—posted months before her first "Lay All Your Love on Me" video let Sofia use her figure to her advantage—revealed that she had considered getting a breast reduction once she turned 18.^note COVID-19 restrictions on cosmetic procedures, her family's health insurance not covering such procedures and a plastic surgeon determining Sofia hadn't experienced any physical issues resulting from the size of her bust prevented that procedure from happening. In fact, the shift in her content towards cosplays was partly motivated by her having become less comfortable at the time with the attention she received from the thirst trap videos she often posted in the months following the "Lay All Your Love on Me" video.
• Calling the Fake Fan Out: BSing your way through anime knowledge around Sofia will likely result in her giving you a major schooling. Barstool Sports blogger Meek Phil (who admitted to being a fan of Sofia's, much to her utter shock) learned that the hard way during a 2023 Barstool OnlyFans model pageant^note (which featured several other TikTokers-turned-OF models, including friend Megan Guthrie (aka megnutt02), among its contestants), in which Sofia called Phil out for not being able to name an anime off the top of his head, mispronouncing the title of Hunter × Hunter (unlike what Phil believed, the "×" is not supposed to be pronounced aloud) and for confusing Misty with Nami when asked what his favorite cosplay of hers was.^note Although Sofia is an avowed Pokémon fanatic (and an avid collector of memorabilia from the anime, even having posted hauls of Pokémon merch she acquired on her YouTube channel), as she pointed out, she had never posted a Misty cosplay up to the time of that video's release, and had only recently added Nami (who, like Misty, is a ginger—though Nami wears her hair down—and has a signature outfit consisting of overalls and a white tank top, which appear to be where Phil got tripped up) to the repertoire of characters she's cosplayed.
• The Cast Showoff: A self-described "theater kid" in high school, she's occasionally made use of her stage experience, at times posting song covers or original material on her TikTok pages. However, it wouldn't be until 2024 that Sofia decided to release music; she was featured on Cristina Valenzuela's cover of "Whatever It Takes" from Hazbin Hotel (released in March of that year), and later announced plans to independently release a cover album of her own.
• Cosplay: Her videos on TikTok and Instagram Reels primarily focus on her cosplays.
• Cosplay Otaku Girl: Sofia began cosplaying on her main TikTok and Instagram accounts in October 2020, dressing as animated, anime, comic book and manga characters including Marinette/Ladybug, Misa Amane, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Diane and Sasha Braus.
• Cunning Linguist: When asked on her main TikTok spam account and on Twitch if she spoke any other languages, Sofia answered and illustrated that, in addition to English (which she considers her third language), she's quite fluent in Spanish and Portuguese.
• Fangirl: Of everything from Miraculous Ladybug to Your Lie in April to Phineas and Ferb. She's not only met but became friends with several creators and voice actors from many of her fandoms including Dan Povenmire (co-creator of Phineas and Ferb), Cristina Valenzuela and Bryce Papenbrook (the voices of Marinette/Ladybug and Adrien/Cat Noir), and Zach Aguilar (the voice of Tanjiro Kamado, whom Sofia began dating in 2023).
• Fanservice Costumes: Her cosplays are sometimes rather revealing and fanservicey.
• Gamer Chick: She's an avid gamer and began streaming on Twitch in November 2020; after taking nearly two years off (outside of a one-off stream in December 2023), she returned to Twitch in April 2024.
• Genki Girl: Sofia herself (at times) and her Kung Fu Sock character, TZ, are this.
• Kaleidoscope Hair: 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.
• Lady Swears-a-Lot: Sofia's been known to curse quite a lot in many of her more recent videos, especially in Twitch streams. Since resuming posting long-form videos on that platform in 2023, her swearing is often censored in her YouTube videos to avoid demonetization.
• LGBT+ Creators: Sofia came out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community in March 2022, initially identifying as lesbian.^note The profile name on her main TikTok account featured the pride flag after her name for two years afterward, until early 2024. Given the mostly male composition of her fanbase, reaction to her first coming out was mixed, although her LGBTQ+ female/AFAB fans (especially those who considered her their crush beforehand) were more accepting. Sofia received some backlash from male fans who thought much of her content after her first coming out focused too much on her then self-identified orientation (believing it just "rubbed in" that they had "lost her to the girls"), in particular for an April 2022 cosplay TikTok in which she was dressed as the not-technically-LGBTQ-coded Rainbow Dash. (Very few of the characters she's cosplayed identify or are even coded as LGBTQ+.) She would later come out as bisexual (self-identifying as queer) in November of that same year.
• Motor Mouth: She has shades of this, most noticeably in many of the older videos on her primary TikTok spam account.
• Ms. Fanservice: Her top-heavy figure has certainly earned her a bit of this reputation online, with her fair share of "thirst trap" bikini videos (mostly posted before her transition into a cosplayer) 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) and unlike other cosplay creators who create content for that platform, has only featured cosplays occasionally.
• Nerds Are Sexy: Sofia is often complimented on her appearance and plays up the sexy angle at times while cosplaying as well as with her OnlyFans content.
• Promoted Fangirl: After frequently cosplaying as Marinette/Ladybug on social media, she later got to meet and become friends with Cristina Valenzuela and Bryce Papenbrook, and landed a minor voice role in the English dub of Ladybug & Cat Noir: The Movie.
• Serial Romeo: Sofia considers herself a hopeless romantic (if the fact she's a 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), 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).
• Silly Animal Sound: She gained viral cachet for her impression of Perry the Platypus, which was so spot-on that some of her followers actually thought she voiced Perry (actually voiced by Dee Bradley Baker, whom Sofia revealed 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. Besides Dan Povenmire, she has met and filmed TikToks with other voice actors from the show, including Vincent Martella (Phineas Flynn) and Olivia Olson (Vanessa Doofensmirtz). She still does the Perry noise for her fans on occasion, including on her Twitch streams.
