Sophie is a French exchange student who's genuinely into the samurai code—not as some passing interest, but as a real guiding philosophy. Despite her small stature, she's become a judo master, which honestly tracks with her whole thing about discipline and martial tradition.
What she's really known for, though, is her work with robots. She's basically a prodigy when it comes to operating them, and her skills caught the attention of the UN Kurobe Laboratory, where she works as a test pilot. That's the kind of opportunity most people dream about, and she earned it through sheer competence.
