She is a member of Team Excalibur, representing France in Europe. Sophie always tag battles with Wales as "Julian's Twin Jewels" with her Grand Cetus T125RS, which she nicknames "White Cetus".

Physical Appearance
Sophie is a tall, older, teenage girl with green eyes and pale blue wavy long hair that matches her outfit. She wears a blue blouse underneath her matching dress jacket designed with hearts which matches with her gloves and pants that tuck into her boots. On her left wrist she wears a golden heart pendant.

Personality
Sophie is a loyal, formal, but kind and friendly person. She will constantly taunt those below her in battle or simply not acknowledge them at all if she feels they are not at her level. Despite this, she's not nearly as arrogant as her teammates, Julian and Wales, reprehending the latter for insulting GanGan Galaxy and going out of her way to explain why they couldn't attend the Festival of Warriors.

She is known for being a strong beyblader and is very formal towards everyone she meets. Above all, Sophie is extremely loyal towards her leader, Julian Konzern, willing to do anything to protect him.

In Metal Fury however her personality somewhat changed, as she became more kind and respectful to her new friends, though her loyalty to Julian remained the same as ever.

The Sheath of Excalibur
Before the annual festival of warriors, Sophie took a tour around Greece as she was a long way from her home in France. She was viewing an old shipwreck when she was confronted by a group of mysterious beybladers who claimed to be Team Gan Gan Galaxy of Japan, mistaking her for as if she was about to jump off the cliff. She leaves them to rejoin with her Team, including her partner Wales and leader Julian Konzern.

She and Wales opened the Festival of Warriors by introducing themselves as the European team, they were surprised to learn that GanGan Galaxy had crashed the festival even though previously they told them they could not attend. Several bladers challenge GanGan Galaxy but are easily defeated, this is when Julian appeared to challenge the team to face Team Excalibur.

Sophie joined with Wales in easily countering nearly all of the team's attacks and even succeeded in defeating Yu Tendo on her own with her White Cetus' abilities. She and Wales continued to fight until Masamune Kadoya and Gingka Hagane were able to break through, only to be easily defeated by Julian's special move, forcing GanGan Galaxy to leave in shame and defeat.

Team Excalibur went on to enter the Semi-Finals if they were able to defeat the Wild Card Team, Team Wang Hu Zhong. They battle at home in Europe against the Chinese teams, and in the first match Tori teams with Wales to face Chao Xin and Mei-Mei of Wang Hu Zhong. The Chinese tag team put up an impressive effort, but are simply no match for the immense power of Julian's Twin Jewels. Klaus is successfully able to secure Excalibur's spot in the semi-final by defeating Chi-yun Li.

A Broken Sword
Team Excalibur returns to Julian's mansion for training, Sophie and Wales are able to defeat Klaus in a handicap training match but are too occupied to find that Tsubasa Otori has tried to battle Julian. They catch wind of this and stop Tsubasa until they are confronted by a mysterious beyblader named Ryuga, causing everyone to separate with Ryuga warning Julian that L-Drago is stronger than his distoryer. Team Excalibur trains fiercer to combat this new opponent in preparation for their match against Team GanGan Galaxy. In the first round, Klaus is pushed to the limit as he defeats Masamune, forcing him to pass out, much to Sophie's concern. Though she is not distracted by this in her next match with Wales against Tsubasa and Yu Tendo.

Sophie and Wales easily take an early lead against their two combatants, this forces Tsubasa to bring out a second personality through his dark power. Through his recklessness he becomes easy prey for the duo until he regains his sanity and breaks out a new special move that is able to pierce Sophie and Wales defenses, defeating them simultaneously.

Even though they suffered their first defeat, Sophie and Wales easily put their faith in Julian who faces Gingka in the final match. Gingka and Julian go beyond what they ever thought they could, but Julian is ultimately defeated, costing Excalibur their first loss. Excalibur takes this to heart and train harder then ever before, leading up to their match in the United States against Team Star Breaker. In the semi finals against Star Breaker, Klaus is easily defeated by the uncanny Jack, much to their team's surprise.

Rebuilding the Sword
To ensure victory, Julian goes next to face Damian Hart, but is dominated and thoroughly scared by his taunts until Sophie and Wales jump in to save him. Even with their help, all three are defeated by Damian's special move, disqualifying Team Excalibur from the tournament.

Afterwards, Dr. Ziggurat of Hades Inc. steals all of Julian's wealth and forces him to work for Hades Inc, but not giving up on Julian, Team Excalibur joined forces with the other teams to stop Zigguart's plans and save Julian. She, Wales, Klaus and Masamune battled Selen Garcia and many HD Academy Bladers once they arrived at Hades city. They find that Julian is in Hades City which is about to take off into the sky, with the help of Klaus, Sophie and Wales are able to infiltrate the city.

There Sophie and Wales confront Julian in order to try to get him to come to his senses but are simply forced to battle with him. Feeling guilty, Tori is unable to truly battle Julian and has to be protected by Wales, which makes them easy prey for Black Excalibur, which dominates them both.

Even after being defeated, Sophie and Wales try to convince Julian to leave Hades. He refuses and is confronted by Dashan Wang, who was unable to battle during the match against Wang Hu Zhong. Dashan battles Julian and gains the upper hand, before Julian repeats his humiliation, Sophie and Wales are able to convince Julian to build a new Team Excalibur to tell Julian that he is wrong, though he is still defeated by Dashan. When L-Drago attacked, her Julian, Dashan and Wales are shown to look afraid. She is later shown with Julian, Wales and Dashan celebrating once the Spiral core has been stopped.
