## Background

Sophie has always been interested in writing, but the people around her criticized her for being lazy, self-indulgent, and incompetent when she expressed her desire to write. Those same people encouraged her to focus on "things that matter," by which they mean whatever she can excel at that makes money. As a result, Sophie has mostly neglected that passion.

At some point in her adult life, Sophie became employed by Sarnai Asset Management Co. She was able to be promoted to sales manager.

Aside from her relationship with Eros, Sophie has one confirmed friend that she made at her company, and has had at least one failed romantic relationship. Sophie attributes the breakup to a difference in values, though it is hinted that her partner was not romantic enough to suit her tastes.
