Trivia

 * Despite being a princess and being directly affiliated with Disney Princesses in her show, Sofia will not join the official line up, possibly because she is too young and is probably closer in age to characters like Melody and Alice, instead of Aurora and Jasmine. But she is an official member of the Junior Disney Princesses.
 * Sofia has a similar relationship with her stepsister as Cinderella with her stepsisters
 * She has two stepsiblings named Amber and James.
 * She screams like a banshee.
 * On a press tour, executive producer Jamie Mitchell said, "She is Latina" after one reporter asked about Sofia's mother's darker skin. This makes Sofia Disney's first Latina princess to appear in an animation project. But recent articles on Sofia's heritage says that she is "not" Latina, but of a mixed-heritage, with her mother hailing from the Kingdom of Galdiz (loosely based on Spain) and her biological father hailing from a kingdom based on Scandinavia.
 * She was unable to dance, but learned how to later in the special.
 * Similar to Cinderella, she has a rags-to-riches story, and has a stepsister who once is antagonistic, but became softer in the climax. Unlike with Cinderella, Sofia's stepsister is born a princess.
 * Similar to Jasmine and Rapunzel, Sofia resides along with the antagonist.
 * Similar to Snow White and Aurora, she has animal friends.
 * Her hardwork of learning to be a princess is similar to Tiana's hard work.
 * Her spunkiness and curiosity is similarly compared to Ariel.
 * Her decision to race in the flying horse-race that has always been done by princes and never by princesses is similar to Mulan when she joined the Imperial Army of China, where it is a crime for a woman to pretend to be a man, let alone even join the army due to the social structure of Ancient China favoring men over women.
 * She is similar to Blair from Mattel's Barbie Princess Charm School, both are named Sofia at birth, and both are princesses. Sofia's hairstyle is also similar to Blair's princess hairstyle.
 * Sofia is the first princess official and non official to have a stepfather rather than the typical stepmother. Plus her stepparent isn't wicked.
