The actresses play besties Agatha and Sophie in Netflix's The School for Good and Evil (out Oct. 21), but their real-life friendship might be even more magical—and their answers absolutely prove it. 

Sofia Wylie

Describe your character, Agatha, in five words or less.
Grumpy, strong, sarcastic, determined and loyal.

What's the number one way you and Agatha are similar?
We would do anything for the people we love.

And the number one way you're different?
Our fashion sense. She despises anything with color—my favorite is baby pink.

Describe Sophia Anne in five words or less.
Beyond talented, powerful, smart and beautiful.

Would Sophia Anne be in the School for Good or the School for Evil?
We've talked about this and agree that she would be in the School for Evil. She just has such a fierceness to her that can be intimidating at first, but in the best way.

What school would she say you'd be in?
Definitely the School for Good. I've been a bit of a "goody-two-shoes" most of my life.

What's the most recent thing you texted Sophia Anne?
"I think we're on in like 30ish." That was before the Netflix panel we did for the movie—it was the first time anyone was going to see the film's teaser, and we were so excited. 

What would surprise fans the most about Sophia Anne IRL?
She loves insects. The amount of knowledge this woman has about butterflies would astound you.

What's one surprising thing she'd share about *you*?
Maybe that I'm an introvert. I think a lot of people assume I'm very outgoing, but I'm actually much more reserved. 

Pick your ultimate Sofia/Sophia Anne karaoke duet.
"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." It would be a blast.

Lightning round time! Describe Sophia Anne as...
An emoji: 😏
An aesthetic: Vintage and timeless
A Halloween candy: Any kind of chocolate
A yearbook superlative: Most likely to become a Broadway star...because she is one!
An iconic Disney character: Mulan or Merida

Sophia Anne Caruso

Describe your character, Sophie, in five words or less.
Pure evil, sensitive, fighter or fashionista.

What's the number one way you and Sophie are similar?
We're both passionate—to a fault.

And the number one way you're different?
I suppose I'd never try to destroy the world. 

Describe your co-star Sofia in five words or less.
I cannot just give you five! She is so magnificent and worthy of 100 more. But for starters: Prepared. Well-read. Gentle. Diligent. Dependable. Sensitive. Active. She's absolutely amazing and somehow manages to do it without caffeine.

Would Sofia be in the School for Good or the School for Evil?
Good. She is good in every way. That's why she is the perfect Agatha. She has depth and wisdom, but when she walks into a room it's like a burst of sunlight through a stained-glass window: colorful and bright and beautiful. 

Which school do you think she'd say *you* would be in?
Evil. No further comment.

What would surprise fans the most about Sofia IRL?
Sofia is 5'11" and I am 5'1". This is public information but somehow, even after spending every day with her, I think "Wow, she's a supermodel."

What's one surprising thing she'd share about *you*?
Maybe something about the amount of chocolate and coffee I can consume without getting sick. 

Can you share the pic you have saved with Sofia's contact in your phone?
It's a candid screenshot from a video of her laughing.

Pick your ultimate Sophia Anne/Sofia karaoke duet. 
"The Time of My Life" from Dirty Dancing.

Lightning round time! Describe Sofia as...
An emoji: 🦩
An aesthetic: Classy and sassy
A Halloween candy: Jelly beans. One of my faves—just like her!
A yearbook superlative: Best morning person
An iconic Disney character: The birds/rabbits/every friendly animal in Bambi. I really hope she says I'm Edna Mode.
