Sofia Lama is depicted as a petite woman with long brown hair, big brown eyes and a slim build. Her nationality is not immediately obvious since she frequently wears clothes in dark colors, even on her first professional appearance, which may be a hint about her nationality or a fashion preference. At the beginning of the third season of her popular talk show, Sofia Lama gave an interview in English in Spanish, in which she disclosed that she was originally raised in Peru, as most of her family still speak Spanish. She maintained that her parents never tried to force her to speak English but that she always felt at home in the language, even if it was only a small amount. She indicated that her favorite thing about being an actress is the ability to be able to travel, speak different languages and visit exotic places without feeling that she is sacrificing anything in particular.
