The first appearance of this character was at EuroFurence in 2010 and immediately attracted a lot of attention due to unusual slinky suit style and fluid movements. Belo4ka as Sofia took part in the fursuit games with over fifty competitors at Eurofurence 16, reaching the semi-finals and winning second place. New version of the suit was created and first appeared in public during Eurofurence 18 dance competition. Final version of the suit is filmed on video recorded by Keks in 2013 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2e4GyvpzYWo) Sofia is playful and sunny lioness, so if you see her somewhere around, feel free to hug her in a friendly manner. ^u^
