IC INFORMATION Characters Name: Sophie Age: Around 14 in appearances and mentally in that ballpark; chronologically over 1000 Canon: Tales of Graces ƒ Canon Point: After fighting the Little Queens in Arcadia Garden Species: combat-type humanoid Gender: Female Orientation:Crablettes. Sophie is clueless about romance and anything related to it. She understands friendship, definitely! And she sees the others as her family! But when it comes to romance and love, Sophie knows nothing about it and is clueless about it all.
History:wiki Appearance:Here! Personality: A battle-type humanoid capable of independent thought, Sophie, or Protos Heis, is more than just an ordinary humanoid, as she begins to become more and more human in her emotions as the story progresses, and making decisions for herself. Found sleeping in a field of flowers on top on Lhant Hill by Asbel and Hubert seven years ago, Sophie initially has no recollection of anything at all, not even her name, prompting the two kids to wonder if she has amnesia, and for Asbel to give her the name she goes by now- "Sophie", for the sopheria flowers she had seemed to take an interest in. She's curious and clueless about everything, and lacks common sense at first as well, nearly walking off a cliff while following a butterfly.
Despite her lack of memories (and basic life knowledge), she quickly becomes friends with Asbel, and friends with his friends as well, forming a friendship pact with him and Richard, the young prince of Windor, after the three fall down the cliff after thwarting an assassination attempt from Richard's sword instructor. Although Cheria is initially jealous of Sophie at first, she, too, grows to be friends with Sophie, taking on a motherly figure position towards her, and Sophie even heals the other girl during a particularly bad coughing fit.
Sophie is also very protective of her friends, despite Absel wanting to be the one to protect her. When the group of kids goes down into the Barona Catacombs to look for Richard, who had failed to meet them outside, Sophie sacrifices herself to save them from a monster that attacked (and would have otherwise killed them). Seven years later, she appears once again to save Cheria and Asbel, though has no recollection of who they are. Although she later learns her purpose is to destroy Lambda, Sophie still continues to act out of a desire to protect her friends, even though it's noted to be something she wasn't programmed with, back when she was created.
In the beginning, and even before meeting Asbel and the others, Sophie was very detached, only acting according to her programming, and understanding nothing about human emotions. It's after awakening, though, and starting with a younger Asbel, that she begins to learn about emotions, even if she doesn't entirely understand them. She becomes curious about everything, asking questions frequently, and thanks to her naivety, is fairly gullible as a result, believing practically anything (such as her pigtails allowing her to fly). Sophie also has a tendency to mimic others, particularly Pascal, and tends to copy whatever the older girl is doing a lot.
Over time, Sophie starts thinking for herself, and becoming more humanlike, though her emotions conflict with each other, when it comes to their friend Richard, who had become possessed by Lambda. She spends a lot of time wondering if she can bring herself to fight her friend, even if he's evil, and while she does come to the decision that she can fight to bring him back to his senses, he critically wounds and blinds her when she attempts to make another friendship pact with him. As noted in the future arc, though, Sophie forgives Richard for this, and even asks him if they can be friends again, once he's back to being himself.
Sophie's conflicts, though, are more than just whether or not she can fight Richard. With her only purpose for existence to destroy Lambda, Sophie was programmed with a mutual destruction function; she was destined to take down both Lambda and herself. While she sees the rest of the party as part of a big family to her, and while Asbel continuously makes her promise not to destroy herself, Sophie still continues to hesitate, knowing Lambda needs to be truly destroyed so as to not cause anymore harm to Ephinea. Despite promising Asbel not to, Sophie almost attempts to destroy herself after the fight with Lambda in World's Eye, and has to be practically dragged away by Asbel so as to not do such. In the end, though, Asbel takes Lambda into himself, in order to prevent Sophie from using her mutual destruction function; although this causes Sophie worry, as she doesn't want to destroy Asbel (or herself) should Lambda fully take over, she eventually gives Lambda her trust towards the end.
As an ageless humanoid, by the time of the future arc, Sophie has begun to fear everyone dying and leaving her behind, realizing that she will ultimately outlive them. She expresses her wish to have been born as a human, and with Asbel and Cheria as her parents, and even tells Pascal she wants to be a human. Although Asbel can't directly answer her questions about death at first, he does decide to adopt her as his daughter, and she becomes Sophie Lhant, now 'officially' part of his family, though Sophie considers the others to be family as well.
Sophie has a love for crablettes, or crab omlettes, and they're considered to be her favorite food, with Sophie remarking at one point that there should be a National Crablette Day. She also loves flowers, partly due to being named for one, and takes it upon herself to grow a garden in front of Cheria's home, as well as plant sopheria seeds in the garden outside Lhant Manor. Eventually the garden becomes full of sopherias, and Sophie and Asbel, in the end of the main arc, get to watch them turn into a blossomgale.
Abilities: Sophie is a battle-type humanoid that specializes in physical combat using her own fists (with gauntlets). She's stronger than the average human, capable of knocking down stone doors, and also specializes in healing artes as well.
Sophie is also capable of mimicking the artes of the other party members, and taking them on as her own skills. As she was created to destroy Lambda, she's capable of sensing when he is close, and can shield herself from the effects of Lambda's mind. Other: Sophie may be tiny, but apparently she's really heavy. What do they make humanoids out of, anyway?
Third Person: (re-using luceti third-person sample)
It was very strange, yet also very curious. In this new world, where everyone had wings, Sophie found herself asking a lot of questions (How did they have wings? Did they grow when she wasn't looking? Could she fly?), as she tried to adjust. At first, Sophie had found her newfound wings to be rather uncomfortable, too, or at least fairly distracting, but she had soon enough gotten used to them being there... or, well, she had accepted that because everyone else had wings, she did, too. As time wore on, Sophie had more pressing concerns on her mind, such as how she would properly protect her friends in this place, how the sopherias were doing back in Lhant... and if she could eat crablettes here, too.
Today, Sophie was outside gardening, having received some seed packets from the friends she had made here. Sophie had managed to start a small garden in the time since she had arrived in the village, and now that winter was over, it was the perfect time to start planting. Although her reading skills were still at a very basic level, Sophie studied hard whenever she could, practicing her reading and writing, and had started to keep a journal on flowers, like Asbel's father did. Picking up the first packet, Sophie read the name of the flower carefully, she looked for the matching marker she had placed in the ground beforehand, where the seeds would be planted.
"Zinnias..." she mused aloud, placing the seeds in the ground, "They looked really colorful in the pictures. Will I have a colorful garden, too?" Sophie certainly hoped so; a big garden full of colorful flowers would be a wonderful reward for her hard work. Perhaps she could even acquire some sopheria seeds as well, and have a blossomgale even here- wouldn't that be the best?
Yes, that would definitely be wonderful.
