In chapter 15 of "The Chrysalids," Sophie displays her bravery by risking her life to save Rosalind and the others from the spider-like creatures. She shows quick thinking and courage in the face of danger, ultimately sacrificing herself to protect her friends. Her actions demonstrate her selflessness and determination to help others, even at great personal cost.
The Wender parents are important because their daughter Sophie is a mutant (with an extra toe on each foot). Sophie is important because she is the first mutant David (the main character) sees as a person. He even becomes friends with her. When a local boy sees Sophie's foot, she and her family must run, and this causes David to consider what would happen to Sophie if she was caught. He worries that she would be executed like the animal mutants are. Later on, when David, Rosalind and Petra have fled to the Fringes, they meet Sophie and through her learn of the horrors of Fringe life.
In "The Chrysalids," examples of lovers include David and Rosalind, friends include David and Sophie, and enemies include David and Joseph Strorm. These relationships play a significant role in the development of the plot and characters throughout the novel.

The inspector confronts him about Sophie, telling him that it is against the rules to hide deviants, etc... so perhaps that: hiding Sophie. He never gets accused of being a telepath, because he has already run away at that point.
She is David's best friend after he meets her, and her family is the family that David wishes that he had. He asks to run away with them when they leave. She illustrates the cruelty of the community, and shows David that people are not evil or animals just because they deviate from the norm. Later, when David and Sophie meet again, she illustrates the hopelessness of being an outcast and the deadly effect that the community David has grown up in has had on so many people... and his powerlessness to stop it. She also serves to illustrate the vast difference between David and all the members of that community... his connection with Rosalind isn't something that he can even stop and consider giving up for Sophie... he is on a completely different level that they can't understand completely, and they definitely can't compete with.
One example of a simile in "The Chrysalids" is when David describes Sophie's physical deformity as "as sudden as a sword." This comparison highlights the abrupt and shocking nature of her mutation. Another example is when David compares the shape of the Sealand woman's ship to a "great gleaming gull." This simile conveys the graceful and majestic appearance of the vessel.
