Sophia Western

She is Squire Western's daughter and a charming beautiful young woman. She loves Tom Jones even while he remains a roving, reckless fellow. When she is forced by her father to marry Blifil she leaves her house to find Tom Jones. But many misunderstandings arise between them, before they are finally united. While she is extremely feminine, she also possesses a strong, noble spirit. Fielding takes inspiration from his wife to create this character.

In the method of contrasting pairs, Sophia is opposed to Molly and later to Lady Bellaston, because she is more virtuous.
