Sophie

Sophie (ソフィ, Sofi?) is a shadow currently residing on the 3rd floor of the Lord Grandfather's Wing.

Sophie is a short woman with pale skin, red eyes and curly strawberry-blonde hair styled into a bun, decorated with big butterfly pins. She wears a long brown patterned tent-dress with a beige trim and ruffles. Her sleeves are wide with decorated arm-holes. She wears a fluffy beige bracelet on each arm, and a white pearl neckless. On her back is a gigantic accessory in form of buttefly wings with a purple-pink-yellow gradient and a black circle pattern.

Sophie is noted to be infatuated with Shadows that have high quantity of Soot. She can also be rather cruel. She is often found quietly observing... She is odd.

The Shadows House (シャドーハウス, Shadō Hausu?) is a manor built atop of a cliff, in which Shadows live as nobles, serviced by their Living Dolls. It is composed of two buildings, namely the Children's Building and the Lord Grandfather's Wing. The buildings are connected to each other by the Passageway of Glory. Living Dolls and Shadows who try to escape the Shadows House will be attacked by arrows. Even if they dodge the arrows and head to the entrance, they will only be greeted by the bottom of the cliff. The only thing that connects the Shadows House to the outside is the Soot Train.

The Children's Building (こどもたちの棟とう, Kodomo-tachi no Tō?) is the building in which Children of the Shadows House live, including those who have yet to Debut. The Shadows and the Living Dolls are separated into two different wings depending on their gender – the Boys' Wing and the Girls' Wing. The Star Bearers have their own rooms, with allowed visits, but they close at 6PM.

The Passageway of Glory (栄えい光こうの廊ろう下か, Eikō no Rōka?) is the place that separates the Children's Building from the Lord Grandfather's Wing. It also leads to the underground of the Lord Grandfather's Wing.

The Lord Grandfather's Wing (おじい様さまと共ともにある棟とう, Ojī-sama to Tomo ni Aru Tō?) is the building in which Adults of the Shadows House live.

The building is split into 3 floors, with the Shadows living on higher floors holding more power and authority than those living below. It also have a basement where children gathers together after a new debut ends.

The Basement Floor is where the Debut Hall, the place Shadows test if they match with their Living Dolls, is located. If they pass, the Shadow gets access to the rest of the children's wing (aside from their own rooms), and the Living Dolls can act as their faces. Else, they are disposed of. This floor also have an audience room, where the Star Bearer reunites with the Children's Building supervisor, an Unification Room for the invited Shadows to fuse, Veiled Doll's quarters, a prison and access to the garden.

First Floor On the First Floor, residents are undergoing or have recently completed Fusion. As of now, the only known member of the First Floor is Lewis.

Second Floor On the Second Floor, residents aim to become part of the Third Floor. When a Shadow reaches the second floor they may gain duties such as organizing a Debut, being the Children's Building Manager, carrying out an Obligation, or having an administrative job over one of the House's many villages.

Third Floor On the Third Floor, residents gain maximal influence; those who currently reside there are, specifically, The Lord Grandfather, Dorothy, Joseph, Ryan, and Sophie. They are the ones who have the highest power of authority in the Shadows House and, since they rarely show their faces, nobody, include the others adults in the house, knows their appearances.
