Role description

Sophia's mother. Margaret is a woman with a heart full of love for her daughter, Sophia. Coming from humble beginnings, she’s spent her life working hard alongside her husband to ensure Sophia has every opportunity they could provide. Margaret’s dedication and perseverance are what paved the way for Sophia to enter the world she now inhabits. Margaret is kind-hearted and supportive, truly believing that Philippe is the best thing that ever happened to her daughter. She sees his wealth and status not just as an opportunity for Sophia but as something that has positively impacted their entire family. Although she enjoys the luxurious lifestyle that comes with being associated with the Archambault family, there’s nothing malicious or greedy about it. Instead, Margaret is in awe—almost in disbelief—that someone from her background could be part of such a glamorous world. She’s proud of her daughter and feels a quiet gratitude for the life they’ve built, even if it means adapting to a reality far different from what she once knew.
