Greece, the birthplace of Cretaceous culture. The people's beliefs are starting to change to the new ways, but the ancient Gods live on in their arts and mythologies. Sophitia is a tidy girl who works in a small bakery in Athens. She cherishes the mythical world of her ancestors. One day, as she bathed in a forest spring, a bright light appeared and took the shape of a man.
He revealed to her that he was the Olympian god of fire and forge Hephaestus and told her of the evil sword Soul Edge.  The existence of such a powerful blade would put shame to his name, as he had not created it, and that if anyone were to discover it, it would bring much pain to the world.
Hephaestus ordered her to come to the Eurydice Shrine and receive a holy weapon, the 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.
After recovering from her wounds she suffered from the sword fragments, she returned to her life as the daughter of a baker and spent her days peacefully. However, one day, when she was out shopping with Cassandra, Sophitia had an ominous vision of a knight in azure armor and a sword of immense evil—a sword she knew that had to be Soul Edge.
She suddenly collapsed and was rescued by a swordsmith named Rothion; they fell in love at the first sight, and decided to become engaged. They were visiting the temple of Hephaestus to report their engagement to him, and then she received a second oracle from the God to destroy the remains of Soul Edge. Hephaestus then supplied her with holy metal and ordered Rothion to forge a new Omega Sword and shield; she set out on a second journey to destroy the cursed sword.
On this second journey, Sophitia, who healed the lands polluted by evil, eventually stopped feeling the evil presence of the blade. She continued for a while, but once she was sure someone else had destroyed the blade, she immediately ended her travels and returned to her home as quickly as possible.
There, she soon married Rothion and eventually gave birth to both a son and a daughter, Patroklos and Pyrrha. But a strange metal shard that Rothion had received from a mysterious customer four years later brought a halt to her newfound happiness. Upon bringing the metal fragment home, their two children began to fight violently with each other over the artifact.
The evil aura the fragment emanated caused Sophitia's old wounds to ache, as they had been undoubtedly infected with the evil energy of Soul Edge seven years previous, explaining her children's predilection for the bizarre aura. Cassandra had seen Sophitia's distraught expression and proceeded to grab the shard from her grasp and run out the door, running away from home soon afterwards with the Omega Sword and Nemea Shield.
A couple of weeks later, Sophitia decided that if she was to free her children from the evil sword's curse and ensure her sister's safety, she had to embark on a third journey. But because Cassandra had stolen Sophitia's previous weapons, which she had stored at Eurydice Shrine, Rothion forged her a new set to destroy the cursed Soul Edge once and for all...
Her journey took her to Ostrheinsburg Castle, which was blanketed by a thick fog. From the fog emerged a small girl in green clothing with a large ring-like blade. The girl casually told Sophitia that Soul Edge was not in the castle, and she also told her that she wanted to "play" with Sophitia's children with a smile that was neither gentle nor heartwarming.
Sophitia lunged at the girl, but she easily dodged her attack, and disappeared into the fog, laughing. Sophitia quickly returned home and was relieved to see that her family was safe, but she was unsure whether to continue her search for Soul Edge. She went to the Eurydice Shrine to pray to Hephaestus for guidance, where the girl in green was waiting for her.
As they fought, Sophitia noticed an emotion from the girl other than madness. She realized that the girl had never felt happiness and commented as such. With a look of hatred in her eyes, the irritated girl simply pushed Sophitia away and left, leaving these words in her wake: "You're annoying... when the time comes, I'll come for your children".
Sophitia then made up her mind. She was going to destroy Soul Edge for the sake of her children. Asking her husband to keep their children safe, Sophitia left to continue her search for the cursed sword. She continued her pursuit of the cursed sword, and at last she arrived in the sword's dominion. However, she learned only of a shocking truth.
While she was away from home, the green-haired servant of the cursed sword had abducted her daughter Pyrrha, who had been deliberately exposed to the corrupting influence of the blade. Soul Edge had grown more powerful then ever, a sinister voice whispered, and Pyrrha would die without the sword's evil energy to sustain her.
"Feeling torn? I would too, if I'd left my children to fend for themselves!" The words clung to Sophitia like a curse. "Well, don't believe me, if you don't want to, but I suggest you think carefully before making your choice." She had come running after the sword to destroy it, but when she thought about the consequences now, if Soul Edge should be lost, what would become of her child?
And so that her child might live, the crusader Sophitia made her choice; to battle any righteous warrior who came to Ostrheinsburg seeking to destroy Soul Edge. With each new sin, guilt tore at her heart, but there was no other way. Would Sophitia and her family never be able to dwell in the light of the sun again?
Sophitia fought as she may to protect both the Soul Edge and her daughter's life, but it was in vain. With Pyrrha fully abducted by the servant of the cursed sword, Sopihita had nothing left that she could do. In an unforeseen attack, Sophitia was killed by the Soul Edge's malfested servants; possibly even the green-haired seductress herself.

Sophitia was a baker's daughter, chosen by the gods to become a holy warrior. Given the order to destroy Soul Edge, she set out on a quest that would eventually lead her to the sword's wielder, Cervantes. In a fearsome battle, she was able to destroy one of the swords. Though successful in her quest, shards of the cursed sword pierced her body, causing severe injuries. Her life was saved by the ninja, Taki, whereupon she returned to her homeland to recuperate. The days passed peacefully, until one day...
Sophitia made her way home without trouble, but found her chest wounds searing with pain the moment she arrived. Thankfully, Sophitia's sister Cassandra found her and carried her to a young man, who offered his assistance. The young man gave his name as Rothion, who worked as a swordsmith in the neighboring town. His chance meeting with Sophitia blossomed into a relationship, and then a promise to marry. But when they went to the temple to inform Hephaestus of their felicitous news, the god did not reply with words of blessing, but with a mission for Sophitia instead.
Rothion was coming close to completing Sophitia's arms, though he knew this also meant that she would soon be embarking on her journey. While heading to the temple to pray for safe passage, Sophitia encountered a man hailing from the East. For some reason, she felt the stirrings of fate, but put those feelings aside to prepare for her quest.
Charged with an important mission by the gods, Sophitia steeled her resolve and embarked on her journey. This time, however, the road ahead was even more perilous than before. Still, she forged on in pursuit of Soul Edge, rescuing those overtaken by evil along the way, while also purifying the earth saturated with it.
Sophitia was determined to cleanse as many from evil as was humanly possible. However, those consumed by it often became formidable enemies who stood in the way of her mission. Fiercely combative warriors with techniques sharpened on the field of countless battles, these foes proved an astonishingly imposing threat.
Finally, after a long journey, Sophitia happened upon the knight with the great sword, who was said to possess Soul Edge. After a brief battle, Sophitia talked to the man, who was deeply troubled when she referred to him as Nightmare. Using her power to cleanse evil, the man expressed that he once more felt at ease, and gave his thanks before requesting that Sophitia leave Soul Edge to him. Unsure of what to do, she prayed to the gods...

Standard Equipment

*Omega Sword: 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. Sophitia received these weapons directly from Hephaestus, after arriving at his temple and proving herself in battle against a clone he created of her.

*Omega Sword & Elk Shield: Sword and shield forged by Sophitia's husband, Rothion, from holy ore given to him by Hephaestus, the ancient Greek god of the forge. Every bit of the design was created with Sophitia in mind, and they are thus perfectly suited for her.

Optional Equipment

*Gaea Sword: After Sophitia had been transported to North America by Hephaestus, she was met face-to-face against the axe-wielding Rock. Once she defeated Rock by knocking him off of the megalith, Hephaestus awarded Sophitia with the Gaea Sword, said to provide protection from the goddess of the earth.

  • Sword Breaker: Sophitia crossed the Pacific Ocean and arrived in Asia, where she was suddenly attacked by Voldo, who had become possessed by a fury-demon. After defeating Voldo and freeing him from his evil spell, Hephaestus congratulated her by presenting her with the Sword Breaker.
  • Fire Blade: Once Sophitia arrived in a desert located in central Asia, she wandered into an ancient Chinese fortress. Within the fortress, she was attacked by the mysterious Taki, who demanded she surrender her weapons to her. Sophitia was able to repulse Taki, who dropped the Fire Blade as she ran away.
  • Blue Crystal Rod: Sophitia exited the desert and headed west, where she entered a colosseum match in which strong warriors from all around the world participated. Her prize for winning the three colosseum matches earned her this Blue Crystal Rod.
  • Rapier: As Sophitia headed west for Europe and arrived at a small island in the Mediterranean. As soon as Sophitia realized that this was the impregnable Treasure Island, she had already been sneak-attacked and poisoned by Taki. Sophitia was able to defeat Taki once again, who fled and allowed for Sophitia to take a Rapier from the treasury.
  • Apollo Sword: Sophitia went north and made it into Ostrheinsburg Castle, Germany. Once she was there, she was pleaded by Hephaestus to find and save a young man named Siegfried Schtauffen, who had been driven insane during his quest for Soul Edge. Sophitia was able to subdue Siegfried and knock him out, receiving the Apollo Sword as a prize, which grants protection from the sun god.
  • Valkyrie: Sophitia arrived at a port in Spain, where she finally found the resting place of the cursed sword, Soul Edge. It lay in the hands of the immortal pirate, Cervantes. After a grueling battle, Sophitia managed to defeat Cervantes, but was terribly wounded in the process. The prize for her tremendous victory came in the form of Valkyrie.

*Blue Crystal Rod: According to legend, this rod and shield were blessed by the goddess Ishtar and used to defeat a demon that ravaged ancient Babylonia. The truth of the legend of unknown, but these artifacts do indeed possess a power that protects the bearer.

  • Fire Blade: A magic sword that is said to unleash burning heat in response to its wielder's emotion. There are also stories of the sword occasionally bursting into flame, searing the hand of the unfortunate warrior who wielded it.
  • Gladius: A military weapon used in ancient Rome that later became the standard for all Western swords. The name "Gladius" means "sword" in Latin. As a result of the very simple and easy to use design, this weapon is suited for extremely agile warriors.
  • Memento: The first shield that Sophitia's husband Rothion created when he was still an apprentice. It was put away in storage for a very long time, but at some point someone brought it back out. It is just as effective as it is worn-out.
  • Orichalcum: A weapon made from orichalcum, a mysterious metal said to have been used by the people of the lost continent of Atlantis. Atlantis vanished in the far distant past, and there is no one left in the present day who knows how to forge it.
  • Owl Shield: A holy shield said to have been forged by Hephaestus himself. One theory holds that it is the physical incarnation of the gods themselves and that it can only be handled by those who can hear the words of the gods.
  • Soul Edge (Complete): An evil blade with a reputation for devouring souls. This weapon is also known to be a shape-shifter—which form it takes depends on its current owner. The forms it has taken are legendary, as are the souls of the renowned warriors it has consumed.
  • Swordbreaker: As its name implies, it was built to destroy opponent's weapons. It is generally used to catch and break the opponent's sword with the comb-shaped ridges, but it can also be used as a normal short sword.
  • Synval: A spirit sword that warns its user of danger by emitting a wind-like sound. It was foretold to bring calamity to the land and was sunk to the bottom of a fountain for a long time, but its blade remains as sharp as ever.
  • Xi Sword & Game Shield: A sword sword and shield given to a Spartan knight, who once received a message from Hephaestus just as Sophitia did. He would later suffer a cursed fate, but the sword and shield retained their holy properties.

*Fire Blade: A magic sword that is said to unleash burning heat in response to its wielder's emotion. There are also stories of the sword occasionally bursting into flame, searing the hand of the unfortunate warrior who wielded it.

  • Blue Crystal Rod: According to legend, this rod and shield were blessed by the goddess Ishtar and used to defeat a demon that ravaged ancient Babylonia. The truth of the legend of unknown, but these artifacts do indeed possess a power that protects the bearer.
  • Orichalcum: A weapon made from orichalcum, a mysterious metal said to have been used by the people of the lost continent of Atlantis. Atlantis vanished in the far distant past, and there is no one left in the present day who knows how to forge it.
  • Soul Calibur: The Spirit Sword that has fought countless battles against Soul Edge behind the scenes of history, unbeknownst to man. It reacts to those of pure heart and gives its wielder the power to counter darkness. Just like the dark sword, it can change its form. It is a sword of light that fills its wielder with vitality merely by being held, but apparently, it is somewhat weak against direct impact.
  • Memento: The first shield that Sophitia's husband Rothion created when he was still an apprentice. It was put away in storage for a very long time, but at some point someone brought it back out. It is just as effective as it is worn-out.

*Fire Blade: A magic sword that is said to unleash burning heat in response to its wielder's emotion. There are also stories of the sword occasionally bursting into flame, searing the hand of the unfortunate warrior who wielded it.

  • Soul Edge: An evil blade with a reputation for devouring souls. This weapon is also known to be a shape-shifter—which form it takes depends on its current owner. The forms it has taken are legendary, as are the souls of the renowned warriors it has consumed.
  • Love: Sophitia's joke weapon. In this weapon set, the sword is instead a metal soup ladle, and the shield is a pot lid. The name comes from the saying "made with love", often used in reference to a mother cooking for her children.

*Blue Crystal Rod: According to legend, this rod and shield were blessed by the goddess Ishtar and used to defeat a demon that ravaged ancient Babylonia. The truth of the legend of unknown, but these artifacts do indeed possess a power that protects the bearer.

  • Swordbreaker: As its name implies, it was built to destroy opponent's weapons. It is generally used to catch and break the opponent's sword with the comb-shaped ridges, but it can also be used as a normal short sword.
  • Katzbalger: A sword with an S-shaped hand guard designed to be hung from clothes or belts. The name "Katzbalger" came from a colloquial word that means "used for fighting." As appropriate for a weapon used by those that are quick to fight, it is designed to allow quick and agile movements.
  • Gladiatrix: A small half-circled shield on the sides, and a very thin small sword, with its name in reference to a female gladiator. The set greatly resembles that of Sophitia's sister, Cassandra's, Valkyrie set.
  • Aeneas: A set of golden weapons befitting of a holy warrior, with the shield being large and elegant with an intricate design on the front, whereas the sword is half-jagged and powerful. This set of a sword and shield is considered a premium weapon in Pyrrha's hands.
  • Brave One: This fairly standard-looking sword and shield combo is actually based on Cassandra's Digamma Sword & Nemea Shield. Though the shield is incredibly plain as merely a plate of iron, the sword has a large circle at its hilt, and has a curved cross-guard.


Other

Weaknesses: Sophitia was infected by dark energy of Soul Edge, and feels aching pain from her old wounds whenever it comes near her. With each new sin she commits, guilt tears away at her heart.
