Next to nothing is known about Brophy's dating history, but she is in love with her role in "Shadow and Bone" season 2. "I could really relate and, when I auditioned for the role, I really wanted to bring myself to it," she told Country & Townhouse magazine of the role. "So she is, as I play her, very close to myself. I am definitely a bit of a hot head — or have been in the past — and I really relate with this feeling of not quite fitting in."
"You know, with the white side of the family, Asian side of the family – where do you fit? I think you can grow a little bit of a husk of defenciveness or wit around that," she explained. "She maybe is a little bit more pointed in that direction but, especially when I was younger, I've definitely been like, 'I'll take anyone on, I'll take anyone on!' She's also really protective of her brother, and I'm also really protective of my own brother, so I felt like I didn't have to reach too far. Probably the furthest thing away from me is that she's got absolute self confidence. Never doubts herself in a fight. Always backs herself. If she's pursuing a cause, then it's the right cause. Whereas I'm much more likely to be like, 'Oh, ooh, uhh…' Prevaricating. So I do envy her that. She's decisive."
