Biography:

Chie Igarashi was born in 1983 to a large and impoverished family in a village in the Akita prefecture, and she is no longer on speaking terms with either of her parents and 2 of her 6 siblings, of which she is the youngest. Chie was always the bottom dog, the last fed, the one that got sick, and the one who had to clean the bathrooms. One day she simply ran away from home at the age of 11 and scrounged/begged for change at train stations to pay her way to Tokyo, where she was sure all of her desires would be fulfilled. Over the long jouney she learned valuable skills on how to manipulate someone into giving you money without even needing to take it without permission. She'd have one pair of dirty, pathetic looking clothes that invoked pity from people while she smudged her face with mud and her hands and joints with ketchup packets to further illicit pity, and another pair of clothes she only wore for train rides to look like a normal girl. It took her 3 months of hard begging, sleeping in public bathrooms, and eating whatever she could find that was edible to make it to Tokyo.

Chie immedietly learned to adopt fake names and lie about her age to avoid getting put into an orphanage or sent back home. She worked wherever she could find it, and lived wherever she could find a cheap bed. She started making real money when she picked up a job at an Otaku cafe in Akihabara in 1996. While her hourly pay was low since the owner was just a manga nerd who took out loans to rent a storefront, she found certain patrons would come in just to see her dress up in differant outfits she would cobble together to cosplay characters they liked. Her tips got better with her outfits and her ability to play the characters they wanted until she was raking in more than the owner was paying to his loan sharks. While the cafe she got some grounding in closed in the winter of 1999 after the owner's couldn't afford the upkeep, it gave her the confidence that she could lie her way into a real office lady job where she could sit around and not work for a livable wage.

The character she developed in Akihabara was that of Sophia Alexadandria Newtonia IV, the last in a line of maids to European royalty, iconic from her pink-dyed hair and ability prepare any cosplay that was asked of her to a good degree of quality in 7 days. Her claim was always that she was 17 and "going to a local high school". Neither of these were true, and she hadn't been to school since she was 11. "Sophia" worked herself to the bone to seem as qualified as she could for some kind of office work, writing up a resume full of at best half-truths and shoving it onto the desk of a Kurobane skyscraper's HR department with the insistance she is ready to do anything for a job.

To this day, she maintains her Akiba character as if it were completely real: this has only worked because of her talents as a conwoman.

Somebody Stop Me!

Idolon Info:

The Tanuki Mystery Mask is possessed ritual mask Sophia received from the boss of her cafe job in liue of severance pay, supposedly from his grandmother's collection of haunted artifacts, said to bring incredible fortune to the owner. To her suprise it was haunted, but by the soul of a mischevious Bake-Tanuki that she formed an uneasy friendship with as they found the common ground of assisting people with too much money in lightening their wallet. He speaks to Sophia much like a rowdy uncle would speak to a neice, encouraging her to get better at wearing a masks in a society where everyone does it.

May as well be the best at the game everyone else is already playing, right?

Fighting Style?

Getting someone else to fight for her and making them way stronger. She isn't very good at hurting others directly, but can be incredibly tanky until her ego is shattered. Her role in a group fight is as a near-invincable power node who optimizes everyones abilities and helps coordinate as well as possible.
