Sofie Agnesh Bojakshiya (23 episodes, 2003-2005) - The Gypsy daughter of Apollonia Bojakshiya, a once renowned tarot-card reader, now catatonic due to complications during Sofie's birth. Sofie shares a telepathic link with her mother, which allows her to lend voice to Apollonia's predictions. Though this symbiotic relationship allows the two to make a living, it also gives Apollonia access to every thought and feeling Sofie may have. Furthermore, Sofie has never developed a true "inner-voice," that role having long-been usurped by her mother.
But as Sofie matures, the cloying control her mother holds over her combined with the physical demands of nursing an invalid have become intolerable. Sofie longs to break free of her mother's influence. Apollonia, however, will do anything, including tearing through the veil that separates the living from the dead, to maintain her control over Sofie.
