Biography
Original Timeline
Sophitia Alexandra (Japanese: ソフィーティア・アレクサンドル, Hepburn: Sofītia Arekusandoru, Greek: Σοφιτία Αλεξάνδρα) was a female human born to a Greek baker in Athens during the time when the land was part of the Ottoman Empire. She came to work at her family's bakery where she always treasured her country's culture and often prayed to the city guardian deity Athena. One day, she was bathing at a forest spring when a bright light appeared and took the form of a man that was the Olympian god of fire and forge Hephaestus. He came to tell her about an evil sword known as the Soul Edge that put him to shame as he could never create such a powerful weapon. Hephaestus also revealed that the blade was posed to be a grave threat in the world that would cause great suffering. The god then ordered her to go to the Eurydice Shrine and wield the holy Omega Sword so that she could destroy Soul Edge. At first, Sophitia was reluctant to take the holy mission; as she told Hephaestus, she was but a baker's daughter. However, Hephaestus insisted she could achieve the goal, and Sophitia relented. Upon gaining her equipment, she ventured forward. Sophitia did eventually track down Soul Edge in a port in Valencia, Spain, and she fought its wielder, the dread pirate Cervantes de Leon, destroying one of the twin blades. However, shards of the evil sword flew with great force from her powerful blow, wounding her too greatly to finish the fight. Just as Cervantes was about to deliver a finishing blow to the wounded Sophitia, a mysterious female ninja, Taki, saved her and proceeded to kill the evil pirate. After the battle had finished, Taki carried Sophitia on her back to her home in Athens, where Sophitia's sister, Cassandra, had been waiting for her. Cassandra was the only person to believe her story at the time.

Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Sophitia was a beautiful young girl with pale skin, green eyes, and long, braided blonde hair.
Sophitia is a benevolent, faithful, valiant, selfless, and strong-willed woman who is devoted to her family and will do anything to protect them by all means, even if it means sacrificing her own life. She is especially fond of her children, and willingly decided to join the forces that serve Soul Edge to protect her daughter Pyrrha, whose life lies in the hands of Soul Edge. She may also be considered as tough as her younger sister Cassandra, because she has taken on a very tough decision that few could bear.
Sophitia was once a holy warrior of Olympus. Though deeply devout, she was not fighter. Indeed, she was but a mere baker's daughter, but under the protection of the goddess Athena and the divinity within her, she was able to fulfill her mission.
Powers and abilities
She was armed with the Ω Sword that was given to her by Hephaestus and also had the Owl Shield. A holy weapon given to Sophitia by Hephaestus, the Greek god of forge. This implement of battle was made by Hephaestus himself using a sacred ore, and had divine properties. It suffered heavy damage during the battle with Cervantes, and after his defeat it was retrieved by Hephaestus. The sword Sophitia used during her second quest was a replica of the original, along with a new shield, both weapons made by Rothion, Sophitia's beloved soon-to-be husband. Hephaestus gave Rothion holy ore which he would work to make both weapons. After Sophitia returned from her second quest, the weapons were put on an altar. And four years later Cassandra stole the Omega Sword for use in her journeys, but the weapon was cracked during that adventure. When Sophitia decided to start her third journey, Rothion repaired the sword for her.
