==Biography==
Sophitia Alexandra is the daughter of a Greek baker chosen by the god Hephaestus to destroy Soul Edge. She reaches Cervantes' lair, but ends up being gravely injured in the battle. Saved by Taki from certain death, she is able to return to her normal life. During Soulcalibur, she falls in love with a young blacksmith, Rothion. But the blacksmith god came back to ask her to go destroy the still-at-large Soul Edge. She does, but is unable to reach Nightmare before he's defeated, so she returns back and marries Rothion.
In Soulcalibur, II, & III, she becomes a maternal figure due to her children being threatened by Soul Edge. She encounters Tira, who she fights after she makes a threatening remark about her family. Tira escapes, and in Soulcalibur IV, Sophie's daughter Pyrrha gets kidnapped and infected by Soul Edge, forcing her to turn to the dark side. She is succeeded by her son Patroklos and, to some extent, her daughter Pyrrha.
It was revealed in the Soulcalibur V material collection that a shard of Soul Edge was implanted near her heart after fighting Cervantes, and it was impossible to remove without killing her. When Nightmare was defeated, Pyrrha slowly began to die because Soul Edge had left this world. Left with no other choice, Sophitia sacrificed herself to save her daughter's life by removing the shard from her own heart and implanting it within Pyrrha.
===Soulcailbur VI===
Sophitia's role is nearly identical to that from the first two games. In the intro sequence, Sophitia battles Cervantes to destroy Soul Edge, but in the process is severly wounded when a shard of the cursed sword lodges into her chest. Cervantes is about to finish her, but Taki jumps in the way and kills Cervantes, whilst destroying one of the two swords Cervantes was weilding, although the remaining sword was left intact. Sophitia eventually recovers from her injury, but is left permanently scarred as the shard remains lodged into her chest. She reunites with her sister Cassandra and her fiance Rothion, and is blessed by Hephestaus as the chosen warrior to carry out the task of finding the Soul Edge once more and destroying it.
After Rothion crafts a new sword and shield for Sophitia to carry out the task. She leaves her home in search of the cursed sword once more. Sophitia encounters numerous malfested along the way, and uses her healing powers to revive them. But eventually, her senses lead her to Siegfried, whom she learns was the previous wielder of the cursed sword after Cervantes. The two of them then battle, which leads to Siegfried becoming desperate for Sophitia to end his life, but Sophitia refuses and instead heals him of his wounds. Afterwards, Siegfried becomes more confident and thanks Sophitia for giving him the necessity to seek repention for the sins he has caused. He then abruptly leaves, with Sophitia trying to follow him (which proves to be unsuccessful).
In the Libra of Souls campaign, Sophitia can be encountered twice: once in Athens, and again in the European Wilderness. The first time, Sophitia will happily greet the protagonist before challenging them to a battle. The protagonist ends up prevailing, and before they leave, Sophitia wishes them good luck on there journey, stating that she will pray for their safety. She is then encounter again if the protagonist's alignment leans towards evil on the Libra of Souls, they must battle her again, and once more prevail. Sophitia will then learn about why they sought her out, and afterwards wishes them luck on their journey once more, stating that she will pray for them again.
