As Sofia gets older, I could imagine her going towards age regression, whether by choice or it just sorta happens (if I had a dollar every time I either hced a character as an age regressor or just made an oc that did I'd have like...5 dollars).

She had to grow up too soon too quickly, from her bio dad's death at what I'm assuming to be around 4 or 5, to her life essentially getting thrown upside down at 8 with her new step family, to all of the kingdom/world-saving things she had to go to before even entering middle school age. Age regression would allow her to be the child she never got to be, either by her own choice or her brain going "Yeah you need this" (involuntary regression).

I imagine when she regresses it'd be around her age in the series, in that 8-12 age, or maybe even to roughly 6 like in your Papa fic when it's a particularly difficult time. She'd most likely want to be on her own/isolate herself when/if she feels it coming on, a mix of fear and somewhat shame. I also imagine when Cedric finds out about it (perhaps she involuntarily regresses in front of him bc of a trigger), he'd be an excellent caretaker and he would not want her to be alone during the time she's little in part for caring for her and in part for her safety. The same with Baileywick ngl, the man is basically an uncle to her in the show.

Yes, I've thought about this too! I've actually had a oneshot idea surrounding this for a few weeks now. A scare from a villain, I imagine something similar to what happened in "In Cedric We Trust" scares Sofia into regression, and she's rendered mute from the shock. Cedric's there with her and pieces everything together from her mannerisms and what he's read in the past.

It would definitely be something she tries to keep to herself. I feel like in a way, Sofia's built a lot of her character on being really mature and smart, I have no doubt she's gotten "You're so mature for your age!" Further fueling the expectation of her being above her years, making her feel she constantly has to keep that mask up despite just being a little girl underneath it.

I agree Cedric would be an amazing caretaker for her when she slips around him! He might even feel like it's his chance to have a do-over with younger Sofia, seeing as her little age would have been before his redemption. I think she'd go to him in times she really, really needs comfort when she's in that state, like having a nightmare. (His paternal instincts would also go haywire omg!!!!) I can also imagine him noticing she's slipped whilst out in public, perhaps a ball, and he makes up a reason for her to leave because he knows she doesn't like being regressed around people. "The princess has a bad headache, I'll take her back to her room." "The princess is tired, I believe she left to take a nap." If he can't, then he keeps a close eye on her, offering assistance and comforting her.

I can just see him being so gentle and kind, assuring her it's okay, she's safe with him and she can be a little girl again, he'll handle everything and she can just enjoy feeling young without all of the pressure.

Do you remember that episode where Sofia went with Roland and Amber on that daddy/daughter thing (that episode makes me so mad btw)

Imagine if the next year it happens she asks to go with Cedric this time

If Sofia asked, I think Cedric would hesitate at first because of Roland, but he'd put Sofia first and go with her. He might even snap at Roland if he tries to get in, going on a tangent about how he's never there for Sofia and only wants to spend time with her when it's a special event. I think Cedric has a lot of pent up rage about this topic, as he himself comes from a rough childhood in terms of fathers, and he wants to be able to give Sofia the experience of having a loving father, but can't flesh it out because "Roland's already her dad." He has to stuff his paternal feelings for her down for the sake of an emotionally unavailable stepfather.

I've actually imagined Sofia going with them the next time, not because she wants to but because she's a serious people-pleaser and just wants to make everyone happy. I have an entire thing in my mind where after the show, Sofia asked Cedric to be her dad, when it's just them she calls him dad and he considers her his daughter, but they keep it a secret as not to cause drama, and Sofia doesn't want to upset her mother by saying she doesn't want Roland to be her dad anymore, or to potentially change her relationship with Amber and James. So the entire time she's there she has this almost dysphoric feeling, because it doesn't feel right. She knows in her heart that Cedric is her dad, and she just wants to be there with him instead of faking a father/daughter bond with Roland.

She feels like she's disrespecting Cedric somehow, she knows he'd never get upset at her, but it feels wrong to be on a father/daughter occasion with another man as her father. She just wants her actual dad, she doesn't want her stepdad or her bio dad. She just wants dad. I think Cedric would take her out for a day afterwards, just the two of them, maybe see some magic exhibits, like a Father/daughter date.
