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.

### Soul Calibur 4

Sophitia continued her pursuit of the cursed sword, and at last she arrived
in the sword's dominion, Ostrheinsburg. There, she learned a shocking truth.
While she was away from home, a cunning 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?

## Endings

### Soul Blade

Sophitia destroys the evil swords, and then sees Hephaestus.
He tells her that's she done well. Sophitia then asks him to heal all the
people she had hurt during her fights, but he tells her that they are already
healed, and that they've forgotten all about what happened. He then takes her
weapons and tells her to rest. . .

#### Bad

Sophitia, without her armor, walks
through a forest, with the birds singing and landing on her.

#### Good

Sophitia is in her swimsuit,
bathing in a lake in the forest. She hears something, and then splashes at the
camera. The screen then fogs up.

### Soul Calibur

After fulfilling the sacred duty entrusted upon her by Hephaestus, Sophitia
returned home to her betrothed.

Sophitia: Rothion, I...

Rothion: I understand, Sophie.

The long delayed wedding took place at last with the blessings of the
townspeople. Time passed and Sophitia was blessed with the birth of her child.

Sophitia: Though I can no longer hear the voices of the Gods, perhaps my
child can.

The child smiled back as if in reply to her words.

### Soul Calibur 2

It was not another journey ordained by another, but rather she chose for
herself. With the holy light guiding her blade, Sophitia cut through the
repugnant darkness. Having saved her children from the fate of the evil blade,
Sophitia's long journey came to an end. The light surrounding her revealed her
smiling face, shining with maternal love.

### Soul Calibur 3

Sophitia steps up to Soul Edge, and with one mighty strike, shatters it as
she shouts "This is... the end!". Bits of light will then fly and
fade into the sky. Sophitia says "I must go back... I must protect my
children's future" before the screen fades to black. The Eurydice Shrine
is now shown, with Cassandra waiting in front of the statue of Hephaestus.
Sophitia calls out her name, and the two sisters run up and hug each other.
Cassandra then tells her "Sister, don't go anywhere anymore".

#### Input

Tira is shown at the top of the
shrine, spying on the two sisters. "I guess I'll take care of them before
she returns." Tira says. Sophitia then looks up at the top of the shrine
after thinking she heard a noise, but nothing is there. Tira is nowhere to be
found. Cassandra asks, "What's wrong?" Sophitia answers, "Oh...
it's nothing." The two sisters then walk away.

#### No Input

Sophitia replies, "I
know." She then looks up at Hephaestus and says "Gods, please watch
over us." "What's wrong?" Cassandra asks. "Oh... it's
nothing." Sophitia replies.

### Soul Calibur 4

Sophitia picks up Soul Edge and
holds it high above her head, ready to strike Soul Calibur, saying, "Once
I destroy this, my child will no longer be threatened." Suddenly, Soul
Edge begins to glow. "Why do you hesitate?" it asks, as Sophitia is
brought to her knees in pain. "Maybe I'll eat you first!" As Sophitia
struggles to push the sword away, Algol walks up to her, grabs the sword, and
moves it away with ease. A shocked Sophitia looks up and says, "What?
You..." Algol then says, "All through the ages, a parent's love for
their child surpasses any weapon."

A flashback sequence initiates at
this time, showing Algol's son attacking him with Soul Edge. Algol explains
that if one is misguided in his beliefs, he will only bring harm to those he
wishes to protect. "You have a child as well?" Sophitia asks,
bewildered at Algol's empathy. "Time is cruel," Algol replies.
"Even with all of this power, I cannot undo the past." Algol suddenly
disappears with both Soul Calibur and Soul Edge in his hands, and his voice is
heard: "Now, brave mother, return to your child."

The text-only epilogues states that
although her name is not recorded in history, she probably lived the rest of
her life in happiness.

## Critical Finish

Divine Palladium: Sophitia slashes
her opponent with her sword on their chest, pushing them back, then she jumps
on them. Using them to launch herself spinning into the air, she swings her
sword at her opponent, stunning them. She then gets into a praying position
(Possibly praying to Zeus, who in Greek mythology could use lightning bolts to
attack enemies) and a flash of thunder comes, striking her opponent down.

## Weapon Arts

**Heaven's Gate:** This once was her Unblockable Attack, but now it's a
Break Attack. It begins with the animation, in which Sophitia crouches a
little, and then she hits the opponent in a jump. It always leads to a Guard
Burst, if the opponent is guarding. This mid-range attack doesn't stun the
opponent and sends him up into the air, allowing you to create a combo, even
when your enemy is lying on the ground or already is in the mid-air. It also
can make the opponent hit the wall. Although, after performing this single
strike Sophitia can't do anything for a while. This can be dangerous in case
this vertical attack misses or is avoided. In addition, it can be easily
interrupted by the opponent's middle or low attacks, but you will be surely
saved from all high attacks. So the best way to use it is to activate it, when
the opponent isn't able to attack.

**Judgment Point:** That's a combination of Twin Step Somersault and
Guardian's Judgement. The first middle-range kick attack makes the opponent
fly, after that Sophitia makes three more hits and says "Now... Pardon
me!", sending the opponent back to the ground. The last kick attack
performed in slow motion, and regardless of your type of the weapon, is
accompanied with blue glow, which resembles that of Hilde's charge attacks. The
first attack is pretty quick and safe, as Sophita avoids all coming attacks of
the opponent during it, but it can be side-stepped, so it's better to use this
Weapon Art in combo, when the opponent is lying on the ground or thrown high
into the air. However, it's impossible to create a combo after it. Regardless
of the opponent's position, it will work the same way. If it misses, or
opponent is guarding, only the first attack will be performed. If it's blocked,
Sophitia will bounce off the opponent, creating too much distance for him to
punish you. It cannot make the opponent hit the wall, but can be used to
continue a wall combo. Under certain circumstances the second and the third
hits may miss occasionally.

**Jupiter Storm:** This is basically Elysium's Critical Edge called
Eleusian Initiation**.** Sophitia quickly turns around in animation,
lowering her sword for a second, as she says "I cannot lose". Then
she slowly raises her shield and sword, saying "Ah... Gods",
meanwhile the opponent is hit twelve times by the unseen light force, and the
last of the hits make the blowing sound. There are some white sparkles and the
fade rainbow light around Sophitia during the animation, and when she starts
attacking she emits large circles of light. The enemy is surrounded by the
light as well. It is a very efficient Weapon Art, as it starts attacking
immediately after pressing, having no chances to be stopped, it's easy to
create a combo after and before it, because it'll work anytime the opponent
isn't guarding, and can be performed at any distance. If the opponent is attacked
in the air, the last hit makes him fly even higher, without being stunned,
which enables you to keep beating him after the Weapon Art. Otherwise, while
standing or lying, the opponent will be stunned, but you still will be able to
add some more attacks. It can't hit the opponent against the wall, but if he's
already hit against it, the attack will work nicely. In case the opponent is
guarding, you can't be punished after performing Jupiter Storm, owing to the
last blowing attack, which knocks the opponent back.

**Valkyrie Arc:** This Weapon Art consists of the middle horizontal
attack followed by two hits of Angel Arc. At first, there's an animation, in
which Sophitia is slowly drawing her sword back and to the left, before landing
the first mid-range horizontal attack, that is most likely the same as the
first strike of her Critical Finish in SC4. Then there's a simple Seraphim
Strike, but the sword has a blue shine during it, and at last she tears her
sword out of the opponent, jumping backwards in slow motion, while the turned
away opponent, as he's falling down. The last strike is delivered, and it is
always accompanied with green sparkles, again, regardless of your weapon type.
Before making the attack, sometimes Sophitia says "Ready?" and during
the attack she says "This is... the end!". The biggest advantage of
this move is that it starts as quick as Jupiter Storm, so you can activate it
just when you're almost hit by the opponent, and you'll never get hit. However,
that's not easy to make a combo with it, as the first attack hits stunned
opponent available for middle attacks only after certain types of moves, though
it always works as a wall combo. Of course, it misses in case the opponent is
lying on the ground. You can also hit the opponent in the air, but don't hope
to do a lot of damage, as the first two strikes will hit, but the last animated
devastating attack can only be performed on standing opponent. After these two
attack made in the mid-air, the opponent won't be stunned and you'll have enough
time to deliver Seraphim Strike or even Olympus Cannon as a guaranteed combo.
In the full version of the move you won't be able to create any combo after the
Weapon Art, because of the last stunning strike, which will never make the
opponent hit the wall or stun him for a long time. By the way, if the first
attack misses, Sophitia doesn't continue attacking, but if the opponent is
guarding, the second one, which also is a mid-range attack, will be performed
and if it catches him off guard , the third strike will take place.
