About
Sophitia was born and raised in Athens, Greece. She loved her country, it's people and her gods. One day the god Hephaestus appeared before her and charged her with destroying the evil Soul Edge sword. She took up the holy weapons, the Omega Sword and Shield, and set out on her quest. She hunted down the wielder of the Soul Edge, Cervantes, and did battle with him. Sophitia shattered one of the twin Soul Edge blades but was wounded by the shards of the blow. Taki then appeared and defeated Cervantes before he could deliver the final blow to Sophitia.
Taki helped Sophitia back home to Athens where her sister, Cassandra and the local blacksmith Rothion nursed her back to health. Sophitia soon married Rothion and had two kids. Some time later Rothion received a mysterious shard of metal and brought it home. Their kids instantly began fighting over it and Sophitia felt a pain deep in side her. This was a shard from the Soul Edge and she still had a piece inside her which was unmovable. Her sister, Cassandra saw the whole scene. She stole the shard from Rothion and set out to destroy the evil blade herself.
Sophitia then set out soon after to destroy the Soul Edge herself in hopes of saving her children a life of pain and saving her own sister. She arrived in Ostrheinsburg where Sophitia found that Tira had kidnapped her daughter and the Soul Edge was more powerful because of it. Now if her daughter was moved, she would die without the power of the Soul Edge nearby. About to destroy the evil blade anyway, Sophitia gave in and has now decided to protect the cursed sword at all cost to save her daughter's live.
Unlock Sophitia on the character creation screen. Doing so will cost 4,000 gold.
