Sophia Keren

Sophia Keren, formerly Negishi Shouko, is one of the reincarnated students from Japan. She was reborn as a vampire who ended up being taken in by Shiro and Ariel after losing her home. A major antagonist in the prolepsis, she later becomes one of the main characters in the main story. In her previous life, Negishi Shouko was often described as having a creepy appearance. She was extremely thin, with a pale and permanently dour face, making her comparable to a ghost. She also had sunken eyes, crooked teeth, messy hair, and poor posture that further contributed to her poor appearance and reputation. After reincarnation as Sophia, she is a peerless beauty, with extremely pale-white skin, silver color hair, blood-red eyes and an hourglass figure. Sophia is pretty dense in certain situations but has no qualms about using her power to muscle through them if she can. Her nature as a Vampire causes her to lust for a battle that can challenge her, but she is denied that by intense training that has made her overwhelmingly more powerful than almost everything within the System. This causes her to lapse into depravity or depression when she focuses too much on it. Her previous identity of Negishi Shouko was a target of ridicule; consequently, she has an intense dislike for anyone who insists on using her original name. This is also the root of her jealousy towards Shiraori, whom she believes is Wakaba Hiiro, the beauty queen of the class in their previous life. This jealousy makes it easy for her to obtain the title Ruler of Envy and the skill Envy. Because of the poor treatment she was subjected to back in her previous life, she was firmly convinced that good looks meant everything, a belief she initially carried on in her next life. It was only after Ariel scolded her for being hostile to Shiraori despite owing her for saving her life numerous times did Sophia realize how ugly she was on the inside, and strived to become a better person. After reincarnating, Sophia has shown to have developed a level of disgust and contempt for her former life and identity due to her previous appearance and the subsequent bullying she went through that lead her to become a social outcast and expressed a desire to put it behind her. Due to this, Sophia has repeatedly shown hostility, annoyance, and even anger to those who persistently refer to her using her old name and identity, this is seen where she showed active contempt for both Oka and Hugo, who repeatedly insisted on referring her by her old name and in the latter's case, her hated nickname. Sophia herself has shown not to be above killing or attacking them if they continue to ignore her insistence to stop using her old name and arising her temper. After many years of continuous abuse that did not stop despite having separated from Shiro, Sophia developed a kind of masochism or dependency on this abuse which she mistakes for attention, going so far as to ask Shiro why he has not beaten her up so long.
