Personality
Sophia's overall personality is similar to Amamiya Kokoro; she is soft-spoken, and kind, but also shy and sometimes clumsy in spite of her job as a spy, yet hardworking and cheerful. While a glimpse of her personality was shown on her pre-debut stream tweets, during a debut stream it was revealed that Sophia does indeed have an adorable voice and rather calm personality (compared to most of her other debut-mates).
While Sophia was originally considered as the most "seiso" member out of her debut wave, this has since come into question by both the fanbase and her debut-mates due to occasional moments of lewdness and many "weird but funny" stories.
Via her streams and videos, she has shown many of her creative skills just within a month since her debut, including but not limited to: songwriting, composition, 3D modelling and animating, video editing, and so on.
On the other hand, as she continued to stream Sophia's funny side was also gradually exposed; the most remarkable story of hers being her notorious addiction to mentsuyu (a noodle sauce composed of ', soy sauce, ', and sugar): during her first 1-on-1 collab with Shishido Akari, she revealed that she thought mentsuyu and soy sauce were the same thing, and uses mentsuyu for many dishes in place of soy sauce; and while talking about her story of making cookies on another stream, it was explained that she made mentsuyu and cheese-flavored cookies, which surprisingly tasted nice for her.

Background
On 16 January 2023, ANYCOLOR announced the debut of 7 new female NIJISANJI Livers, including Sophia Valentine. The 7 Livers' debut stream relays were to be held on 19 January and 20 January 2023.
Sophia's YouTube channel was created on 24 October 2022, and her Twitter in January 2023. Her first Tweet was made on 16 January 2023.
Debut
The 7 Livers whose debuts were announced on 16 January 2023 started their activities that same day. On 17 January 2023, they were introduced on a segment of 's news program, which aired nationwide and included profiles and reactions to the announcement of their debut.
Sophia made her debut on 19 January 2023, and was the fourth of the group to hold her first stream. During her debut stream, Sophia showcased her musical skill by playing the guitar and singing a short version of 's "Eat the Wind" (風を食む), a cover she later uploaded as a clip. On 21 January 2023, the members held a clip compilation relay, with clips taken from a collab they had done prior to their debut.
Mascot and fans
- Her fanbase is officially called "Sophilings" (ソフィリング).
- Her channel members are called "SOPHIAGENTs".
- Her official fanclub is called the "Sophie Fanclub 🐰🗞️" (ソフィふぁんくらぶ🐰🗞️).
- Her fanmarks are 🐰 (rabbit face) and 🗞️ (rolled-up newspaper).
- "Colobbit" (ころびっと) is a popular mascot character from Sophia's world, effectively serving as her channel mascot as well. Shortly before her debut, Sophia was shocked that nobody from her debut wave knew what Colobbit was, so she decided to promote it through her streaming activities.
- Sophia has keychains of Colobbit on her bag, one of which was released in real life on 16 January 2024 as part of the lineup of Idios' first anniversary goods.
- Colobbit appears in Sophia's loading screen, stream background, superchat alert, channel membership badges and some of her membership emotes.

Character and lore
- Sophia is a rookie spy who graduated from a spy school, in an alternate dimension where many countries have been developing new spies in an arms race to become superior in information warfare. During a mission to retrieve a "special weapon that would ruin the world", she accidentally activated the weapon, mistaking it for a smoke bomb, and was as a result. Now, she has started streaming to make her life worth living.
- Apparently, even just graduating from the spy school she attended is a major achievement; by doing so one is already considered a "proper spy", hence why a rookie like her was sent on that fateful mission in the first place.
- Her codename as a spy was "Rabbit".
- While she usually uses the first-person pronoun watashi (私), when on missions she switches to jibun (自分), considered more distant and gender neutral.
- After coming to this world, she has not been able to connect to her spy agency in her home world. As such, she has primarily been working as an information broker. Through her transactions, she hopes to broaden her information network and eventually reconnect. Similarly, as a Liver, she hopes to collect information and [REDACTED], as specified in to her to-do list.
- Due to her training as a spy, each time a new wave of her kōhais debuts, she devises ways of defeating each of them just in case a situation where she would have to fight them as an enemy arises. Thus far, she has done this for all four members of Oriens and all four members of Dytica.
- She once uploaded a video showing how she built a bomb in real life, which was done to hone her skills as a spy. Please don't try this at home.
- She is "99.99999%" human. The uncertainty comes from the fact that she is originally from another world, so what constitutes as "human" there might be different from the world she is currently in.
- Like most of the other members of Idios, after debuting with NIJISANJI, she no longer ages.
- Though she does admit that she is technically 21 (+1) as of 2023, she reiterates that she is still 21 years old for the most part, and that the part in brackets "has a thin presence". As she explains, because she is a NIJISANJI Liver, she exists in a gap between dimensions.
Miscellaneous
- Idios' default outfits all feature accessories with a shared ◇◆ motif, all of which are real-life accessories from the brand Dinamis' 23AW / symbol Collection (a brand they later officially became models for). The accessories were designed by Sophia's illustrator yadapot.
- Sophia's accessories are Smartphone Shoulder NBS-2306, two of Hair Pin NBS-2307, and a choker which is not available commercially.
- She has an older brother, who she refers to as onii-chan (お兄ちゃん).
- She is currently learning English and occasionally practices during morning zatsudan streams; she is one of the few NIJISANJI main branch livers whose voice packs usually come in both Japanese and English. However, she is not fluent, and still uses DeepL for translation when she wants to learn simple phrases.
- Despite her soft voice and timid personality, she is actually quite physically capable, something she attributes to her training as a spy. Her double under jump record is 108, she can run 50 meters in 8.2 seconds, and her grip strength with either hand both exceed 30 kilograms. Once when sightseeing in, she walked 66 kilometers over the course of two days.
- She is noted to have a rather broken unusual sense of taste, perhaps due to a combination of her overuse of mentsuyu and tolerance built up during her spy training. In addition to her obsession with mentsuyu as previously described, she once drank extremely bitter tea without flinching, much to her debut-mates' horror.
- When Idios were asked who would most likely survive being stranded on a deserted island during their half-anniversary collab, Sophia ranked herself first, reasoning that she would be able to eat even the worst things to stay alive thanks to her sense of taste (though Yumeoi Kakeru and Lize Helesta doubt that she would be able to survive without mentsuyu).
- Because of the association between spies and codes, Sophia Tweeted a riddle or puzzle every day for five days from 16 January to 21 January 2023. Her debut-mate Kaburaki Roco, who loves puzzles, solved all of them. She still does Tweet more puzzles for viewers to solve from time to time, using the hashtag #ソフィアからの挑戦状.
- Before she graduated from spy school, she worked as a tutor for fifth graders and junior high school students as well as at a convenience store for undercover missions.
- A NIJISANJI senpai she looks up to is Lain Paterson, whom she has been following since the latter's first stream.
Lore
Sophia is a nerd who loves the mascot character "Colobbit" and always carries around "Colobbit" with various expressions. She is talkative in the text but becomes shy when she speaks.
