During the photoshoot, the cosplayer appeared as Sophie. It is her fate that is cut short at the very beginning of the game: upon reaching the fateful age of 33, she disappears as a result of the “gommage.”

Sophie was born in the city of Lumiere and was Gustave's beloved for a long time. Her loss becomes the primary personal drama for Gustave and the unseen force that drives him to join Expedition 33 to put an end to the deadly cycle once and for all.

Visually, Sophie looks refined and fully embodies the aesthetic of the French Belle Époque. She is a slender young woman with expressive blue eyes and a neat dark chestnut bob haircut. Her classic look is complemented by memorable wardrobe details, including a burgundy beret, a red polka dot blouse, a burgundy midi skirt, white knee-high socks, and a necklace with a red flower.

In terms of gameplay, she is notable for being available as a temporary party member during the prologue, allowing players to connect with her story before the plot turns her into a tragic memory. Despite her early disappearance, Sophie's presence is felt throughout the entire narrative.
