Sophy has apparently been working in the idol industry since she was very young. She is also very popular at her school, and admired by many of the students. When she eats a Red Flash (pickled plum), her personality - likewise with her appearance - changes. Her public personality is cool and on top of things, while her other personality (aka 'Fancy Mode') is extremely disoriented and directionless. It is also hinted that she has low blood pressure. While she is in her Fancy Mode, she says "Pshu~" a lot. In Fancy Mode, she is quite naive and oblivious to what's around her, but since forming her friendship with Laala and Mirei, she has been working on improving herself. (Source: PriPara Wiki)

PriPara Movie: Minna Atsumare! Prism☆Tours is the film based on and starring the characters from PriPara. The film first began showing in theaters across Japan from March 7th, 2015. The plot focuses on Laala Manaka finding out about Saints' top idol journey, and aside from the PriPara performances, the movie also features the journey of characters across all the Pretty Rhythm series.

At some point in the movie, the characters are given a choice of four doors to go through. At this point, the movie diverges into one of 4 routes depending on what the audience chooses. Each route recaps different aspects of the previous Pretty Rhythm series, mainly reintroducing the different characters and their performances. However, Laala and friends only get a chance to enter one door at a time, meaning the film must be watched four times to view each door choice.
