Marie Parfacy

Marie Parfacy is one of the secondary character of Mobile Suit Gundam 00 and formerly a minor Antagonist who is previously used by Human Reform League and A-Laws as a living weapon for defeat Celestial Being as Soma Peries.
After regain her true (Marie) Persona, Marie decide defect from Earth-Federation and become one of the main pilot of Celestial being, and begin her romantic relationship with her former rival or her long-lost childhood friend, Allelujah Haptism.
She is voiced by Arisa Ogasawara in Japanese and Tabitha St. Germain on English Version.
==Personality==
Just like Allelujah, Marie has another persona named "Soma Peries" which have very different persona than her, in order to restore her five sense that she loses when she still a child and make her become perfect super-soldier for government.
===As Herself (Marie Parfacy)===
Unlike Soma Persona, Marie is gentle-loving girl, pacifist, optimist and spiritual person. Since she is design baby of HRL Super Human Institute, which mean she is artificial human, Marie believe in god which is very ironic to her. Beside Marie has no stomach to the war or battlefield, she still able to help the other Celestial Being crew in emergency situation. She is not only extremely care with Allelujah, Marie also shown concern or worried about Saji Crossroad who always worried about Louise Halevy.
Even no longer Soma dominate her body, Marie still has memory of her. She even know the event when she have battle with him at Operation Fallen Angels and know that Allelujah destroy the HRL Super human institute and kill their fellow "kin". Marie accept his regret and forgive him, in turn she also regret that she almost kill him when she still as Soma Peries and causing Allelujah suffer heavy injuries and loses Hallelujah persona, even Allelujah know its not her fault.
Marie probably not a type of Vengeful person. Proved when she see Sergei death by his own son,the grief drove Marie to hide in the depths of her psyche and making Soma persona once again dominate her body. But in near the end of Season 2, Marie regain her possession again and decide make a peace toward Andrei, believing if she keep continue her will to kill him, Sergei will never amused with this.
===As Soma Peries===
Scientist put Soma Persona who have a very perfect soldier attitude. Such as like highly intelligent, loyal, emotional, fearless in battle, and also a dreamer, but she still shown her sympathetic toward many people, not only the other soldier, but also the civilian. Making her become more human than a emotionless living weapon. Beside being very perfect Ace pilot and living weapon, Soma never have any interest to do some brutal thing like massacre or killing and only focusing her duty to defeat Gundam. This is proved when she join to assist her fellow A-Laws member to do massacre at Katharon base, she shocked to see many katharon member killed and questioned her status. After touching with Sergei kindness and caring side toward her, and he forgiving at her after know that Soma join the massacre, Soma thanks to Sergei and with heavy feeling and teary eyes, she accept her destiny as super-soldier, who only exists for fight and feel she didn't deserve any happiness.
Like Marie, she still has some soft-side and wanted to get some happiness by living as normal human. Even at the first time she has no idea about Marie and refuses being call "Marie" even finally she know about her, Soma loneliness that she express toward Sergei probably its come from Marie experience when she loses her five sense causing her unable to socialize with her environment.However, she probably only got very few Marie memories or maybe lost several Marie memory after being implanted, proved that she didn't know about Allelujah and keep calling him "Subject E-0057". Even Soma no longer to dominate her body, the two personalities coexisted and Soma was okay with Marie leaving the ESF and taking allegiance to Allelujah Haptism and Celestial Being.Before Soma temporary "leaving" Marie, Soma apologize toward her that she always shut up her because of Soma always thinking about her own happiness. She also tell to Marie, that she finally agree with Sergei offer to adopt her to be his "foster daughter". Soma also wish that Marie will never lose someone important to her life again.
Soma also quiet head-strong and vengeful person. At the season 1, she try to find a revenge toward Allelujah after she hear that he causing for killing their fellow "kin" at HRL Super human institute, even she has no intend to killing him. And at season 2, Soma persona dominate again after seeing Sergei death and wanted to find a chance to avenge his death and try to kill Andrei, Sergei son's and also his killer. However near the end of Season 2, Soma decide abandoned her will to seek a revenge and make a peace with him, though she will never forgive his ruthless action and convince him to try understand Sergei.

*Soma means on Greek (Σώμα) is "Body" and Peries probably come from words Perish which same meaning with "Destroy" or "Dissolved". Her name is based to her status as Super-Soldier, who must fight and become a "meat shield" for the military.
*Beside super-soldier concept is similar with "cyber-newtype" and "Biological CPU", both Marie/Soma and Allelujah/Hallelujah are not consider to be "Four Murasame expy" since both of them are mentally stable and not piloting a gigantic pilot suit.
*Since Soma always call herself "the 1st super soldier", there is possibility that Marie/Soma is the first test subject of HRL Super human institute (a.k.a Subject E-0001).
*Soma/Marie is only female-pilot who still active as pilot from season 1 until Mobile Suit Gundam 00 The Movie: A wakening of the Trailblazer.
*On Gundam Build Fighter, there is a girl who share same appearance like her but with red hair and blue eyes. Coincidentally, she is own a Red-version of Kyrios Gunpla, which is Allelujah first Gundam.
**Aila Jyrkiäinen, a main character from Gundam Build FIghter also share similarity from their appearance of their white hair and fair skins and also have quiet similar history.
*Marie/Soma share similarity with Marida Cruz from Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn.Both of them are artificial human which created for become a tool of war, have a very perfect pilot skill which can competitive with the Gundam Pilot, and see their captain (Suberoa Zinnerman and Sergei Smirnov) as their "father". Soma true persona name is "Marie Parfacy", and Marida ever called "Marie" by Suberoa after she is free from Vist Foundation control in Banshee Gundam which the name is come from his biological daughter, Marie Zinnerman.
*it's unclear if the nano-machines on her body grants immortality or long term youth like those of Innovators
*Soma persona never seen to killing the people by her intentional or unintentional.
**Even Soma wanted to kill Andrei, in the end she decide to abandon her will to avenge Sergei's death and make a peace with Andrei beside Soma persona still unable to forgive him.
**Soma ever indirectly cause a accident by shooting the true pillar due she going berserk and hurting by Hallelujah killing intent. Even the citizen in true pillar is in danger, they succeed being saved by Sergei and Allelujah in time. After this accident, Soma never seen cause a accident again or even kill her enemies.
*She share similarity with Bucky/Winter Soldier from Marvel:
**Both of them are super soldier that used by the enemies to defeat the heroes.
**Both of them has best friend (who also a super soldier) before their separation.
**Both Marie and Bucky suffer memory loss due the experimental from the enemies side, resulting they forgot their best-friend from their old days (Steve Roger/Captain America and Allelujah Haptism).
**On enemies side, Both Marie as Soma Peries and Bucky as Winter Soldier always hunt their best-friends and temporary become a rival due unable to remember their past.
**After remember their past and their best friends, Both Marie and Bucky betray the enemies side and become their best-friend sidekick.
*In the end of Season 2, Soma persona no longer to dominate Marie-body and ended as her another-persona like Allelujah's "Hallelujah persona". She only resurface when Marie join the battlefield with Allelujah since Marie has no stomach to fight due Soma already too long dominate her body.
*If Sergei never let Soma to join A-Laws, Allelujah will never have a chance to meet her again (even he will succeed to be saved) and Marie persona will never return.
*Since Leo Sieg, one of survive Super Soldier in manga able to be pure-Innovator in AwotT Epilogue, its unknown if this case also can be happen to Marie and Allelujah.
