''Note: This Proposal is on hold until September 7 due to the maximum limit of 10 proposals being reached. Please do not vote on this proposal until the aforementioned date arrives.''

A Rejection proposal for Sophitia Alexandra from the Soul Calibur series.

What is the Work?
Soul Calibur is a series about two swords of legends: the cursed sword Soul Edge, and the spirit sword Soul Calibur,

Soul Edge, the first installment told the story about an angelic warrior named Sophitia, who went on a quest to locate and destroy the cursed sword, who was in the procession of an undead pirate captain named Cervantes. Sophitia located the sword in a Spanish Port, and fought Cervantes in an attempt to destroy the evil weapon. In the process, Sophitia was critically injured when a shard of the sword lodged itself into her breast, leaving her vulnerable. Cervantes nearly succeeded in killing her, but was prevent so by Taki, who came to the aid of Grecian Amazon, and together, the to destroyed Cervantes’ body as well as one of the two swords he was carrying.

Although they succeeded, Soul Edge was ultimately revealed to have survived, as one of the swords was not destroyed, thus setting motion into the later installments.

Why She doesn’t qualify?
While she is a heroine in the first 4 installments of the series, she has a sudden shift in her moral alignment in the fifth installment.

In Soul Calibur IV, Sophitia learns that her daughter Pyrrha Alexandra cannot survive without Soul Edge staying alive. As a result, she was forced to become a [unwilling] servant of Nightmare, thus shifting her alignment more towards evil, and turning her personality into one that is more misanthropic and nihilistic. In her ending of the game (which is non-canon), she tries to destroy Soul Calibur to prevent the potential destruction of Soul Edge, but has her soul nearly devoured by the cursed sword when she hesitates., ultimately, Algol preserves both swords and allows her to return to her daughter to care for her.

It is unknown if she truly reforms before her death in Soul Calibur V, but her personality is once again reverted back to her good self in Soul Calibur VI which is set in a new timeline, however it is unknown if a similar set of events will happen in this timeline as well at the moment.

Final Verdict
Overall, while Sophitia is good by nature, she shouldn’t qualify because she was an antagonist in Soul Calibur IV.
