According to Shannon Messenger, it is to symbolise her entire journey. Sophie appears to be younger-looking on this cover than those of Flashback and Legacy. Shannon Messenger said they wanted to let Sophie shine on the cover alone because Unlocked, as a continuation of the main series and a series guide/supplement, represents her journey so far.
