OVA
Description
Sophine operates as an agent for the clandestine Doress organization, leveraging the bioweapon Baoh parasite in its quest for global control. Her primary assignment involves monitoring and recapturing test subjects, especially the young psychic Sumire. Sophine initially adopts a caregiver persona within the manga narrative, attempting to deceive Sumire into accepting a brainwashing "vitamin shot." Following Sumire's escape, Sophine pursues her aboard a fortified train, demonstrating formidable combat prowess by shooting through locked metal doors and neutralizing experimental guard dogs.
Despite her commitment to Doress, Sophine exhibits a fleeting hesitation when commanded to execute Ikuro Hashizawa, the unwilling Baoh parasite host, suggesting a sliver of underlying morality. She ultimately complies, firing upon Ikuro. After Ikuro and Sumire escape, triggering the Baoh's release, Doress brands Sophine a failure. She is executed, mutilated, and discarded into the sea to divert blame from the organization.
The OVA mirrors her narrative trajectory. Sophine actively joins the pursuit of Ikuro and Sumire after their train escape. Later, under Dr. Kasuminome's orders, she participates in torturing Sumire to exploit her psychic link to Ikuro, aiming to lure him into a trap at Doress headquarters. Unlike the manga, Sophine survives subsequent clashes until the headquarters collapses amid chaos unleashed by the berserk psychic Walken. Fleeing in an escape pod with Dr. Kasuminome, she plunges into an underground cavern where a falling stalactite impales her, causing her death alongside the doctor.
Sophine possesses blue eyes and shoulder-length blue hair consistently across both adaptations. Her personality merges deceptive tactics—feigning concern for Sumire—with ruthless efficiency in executing Doress missions, underscored by notable combat skills, particularly marksmanship. While defined by organizational loyalty, her brief hesitation regarding Ikuro hints at minor internal conflict, though it fails to alter her actions or ultimate fate.
