Pair the new hire with a peer mentor who isn't their direct supervisor for more candid advice.

Sophi’s character is not a caricature; she brings a sense of genuine nervousness. She clutches a tablet and a manila folder—props that ground the fantasy in a relatable fear: The fear of failing on Day One.

The character design of Sophi Dream is pivotal to her appeal. She doesn't look like a typical corporate drone. She represents the "Lifestyle" aspect of the narrative—the desire to maintain one's identity and sense of style even while entering the belly of the beast. She is the bridge between the gritty streets and the sterile boardroom, bringing a sense of entertainment and charisma to a grey world.
