Sophie Ronson is, or rather was, Kyra Blaine's bridesmaid in "A Rose for Everafter".
She introduced Kyra to Greg Murphy, and in repayment, though no longer an active part of their circle, was invited to the wedding. Unfortunately, Sophie was experiencing financial difficulties and asked around to see if anyone could lend her the necessary cash, which Beckett estimated to be at least $3,000 (dress included).
Her problems came to the ears of Greg's Uncle Teddy, who offered to bankroll Sophie in return for her assistance in breaking up the happy couple; Teddy was the executor of Greg's estate until he married, and was skimming massively, a fact which would come to light once the younger man took control of his own money.
Sophie, upon arrival in New York, went wedding dress shopping with Teddy, but in this case it was the bridesmaid who got cold feet, telling her benefactor, in front of the shop owner, that she wasn't sure she could go through with the plan. Teddy proceeded to threaten her, less than subtly, and Sophie backed down.
After the rehearsal dinner, Sophie roofied the best man, Mike Weitz, and stole his keycard to get into his room, and, via the connecting door from there, into Greg's room, where she proceeded to try to seduce him. Sophie was audio recording the whole thing to play to Kyra later, if Greg failed to call off the wedding himself. The planned seduction went south, however, when Greg unequivocally rejected her advances, and Sophie, humiliated, fled from the room.
Back in her own room, she bumped into Teddy and told him of her abject failure, at which point the older man decided to cut his losses and avoid the risk of his plan being exposed by choking Sophie to death. Unluckily for Teddy, his platinum tiepin scratched Sophie's back as he throttled her, and the DNA recovered was enough to prove his crime.
