Houjou, Sophie

北条そふぃ

Sophie is an eighth-grade student at Paprika Academy.
She has worked in the idol industry since she was very young. Admired by her fellow students, she has her own fan club and frequently appears on television as a soloist.
When Sophie eats a so-called Red Flash (pickled plum), her personality—along with her appearance—changes to that of a confident and impressive idol.
In contrast, she is the complete opposite in everyday life: extremely soft-spoken, disoriented, and sluggish. It is also hinted that she suffers from low blood pressure. Her hair becomes messy, covering her eyes, and she is mostly seen wearing a grey sweat suit.
Even her friend Lala failed to recognize her at first due to this drastic shift.
Since forming a friendship with Lala and Mirei, she has been trying to take better care of herself while also showing more of her true self in public.
Although Sophie is often absent-minded, she happens to be very perceptive and can notice tiny details that others would normally miss.
