Sion Todo (東堂 シオン Tōdō Shion) is one of the main characters of PriPara, and an 8th grader who attends Paprika Private Academy. She is a cool-type idol, and her preferred brand is Baby Monster. A prior-competitive player of Go, she sought out a new challenge and came across the world of idols.
Appearance[]
Sion has sharp amber eyes and medium-length dark purple hair pulled into a thick, messy side-tail. Her bangs are neatly corner parted with one forelock longer then the other. In PriPara, her hair is normally adorned with an accessory or hat, and she gains earrings.
Personality[]
Calm and reassuring on the surface, but her roots have a hot and headstrong personality. She is quite competitive, as she is determined to win at everything. She plays Go, and compares everything to the game and learns many things according to the playing board. She's highly perceptive and intelligent with her level being on par with Mirei. She's been noted to be very stubborn, however she's also a very loyal person.
Relationships[]
Dorothy West[]
One of her teammates in DressingPafé. They tend to disagree with each other, but when they work together they do very well.
Reona West[]
Her other teammate in DressingPafé. She took quick interest in him and trusts him entirely.
Usagi[]
Her unit manager.
Mirei Minami[]
Part of her reasoning to become an Idol was to spite Mirei, but they eventually become friendly rivals.
Nino Nijiiro[]
After they met, Nino makes it her goal to surpass Sion.
Etymology[]
Tōdō (東堂): The term Tōdō can be split up in two. the tō means east, while the dō means shrine. It can be roughly translated into Eastern Shrine. However, Tōdō is also a common Japanese surname. This can be considered a pun since Laala's last name means center, Mirei's last name means south, Sophy's last name means "Northern line" (north), and Dorothy and Reona's last name is West.
Sion (シオン) is a unisex name, which may be a reference to her cool image, and the Japanese word for the aster flower. Sion is also the root of its derived "Sion-iro" which is a pale purple color or violet (the color of asters). This may refer to her idol type and theme color.
Trivia[]
- Her messy side-tail resembles Karin Shijimi's from Pretty Rhythm Dear My Future.
- She is in the same grade as Mirei, Fuwari, Dorothy and Reona.
- She is the last of the main six girls to debut, as Dorothy and Reona made cameo debuts in episode 11 and episode 12, respectively.
- Her name (Si(Ti)on) is based on seventh note of the Solfège scale.
- Ironically, while the note si/ti is the second highest on the scale, Sion has the lowest voice out of the seven main characters in Season 1.
- Despite her voice being deep in insert songs, her voice is mellower in the opening themes.

- She has quick reflexes, as revealed in episode 15 when she dodges Mirei's attempt at giving her a warning ticket and when she counters Mr. West's spatula with a black and white go pieces chain.
- If what Kuma told SoLaMi♡SMILE during episode 17 is true, Sion adores pandas.
- This relates to her favortism of the colors white and black, as well as her opinions in that one side is right, and one is wrong.
- She also hates the color gray, which is in the middle of these colors and relates to people who refer to a gray line, and try to take both sides.
- Her birthday could be based on the pronunciation of igo, which can be pronounced as "one five" in Japanese meaning January 5th.
- Sion's idol ranking has not been known until Episode 38, where she and the other members of SoLaMi♡Dressing ranked up to Major Idol.
- She shares her surname with Hibiki Toudou and Kanon Toudou of Pretty Rhythm Aurora Dream/Dear My Future. However, they're written in different kanji.

- She is the first character to have two solo messages released in different albums.
