📜 Background & Early Life

Sophia was born to a wealthy mother and an infamous smuggler father named Alec. Upon discovering her husband's criminal lifestyle, her mother abruptly sent Sophia to a strict convent to "cleanse her of her sins." Defiant, Sophia broke out of the convent, reunited with her father, and was raised within one of Venice’s most feared plundering gangs. Fighting with a sword from a young age, her brutal exploits eventually earned her the moniker of the "Sea Scorpion."

🔮 Abilities & Tools of the Trade

• Martial Prowess: Unlike previous stealth-reliant protagonists, Sophia is a highly trained, offensive combatant. She excels in direct melee combat, using heavy sword strikes and precise parries to overwhelm soldiers.
• The Prism: Sophia carries a handheld prism—her "greatest treasure"—capable of refracting firelight to create safety boundaries or focusing beams to ignite grass, creating smoke distractions.
• Minoan Artifacts: On her journeys through the Minotaur's Island, she utilizes a stolen "Minoan Sphere," a mechanical device capable of manipulating light on a grand scale to solve ancient architectural puzzles.
• Temporal Echoes: Sophia shares a mysterious cosmic link to the ancient timeline through the Macula. Actions taken by the mythical Greek hero Theseus centuries prior actively alter and shape the physical environments she encounters.
