OVA
Description
Sophia Ascart, daughter of Dan and Radea Ascart and younger sister to Nicol Ascart, possesses long white hair, pale skin, and bright red eyes. These traits, linked to albinism, led to childhood ostracization where she was called "the cursed child." This discrimination fostered isolation, with Sophia spending most of her time alone reading books. She developed a timid personality, feared social interactions, and believed others viewed her as monstrous.
Meeting Catarina Claes at a tea party around age ten drastically changed Sophia's life. Catarina admired her appearance without prejudice, offering genuine friendship. Their shared passion for romance novels cemented their bond, with Sophia becoming Catarina's primary source of book recommendations. This friendship gradually gave Sophia the confidence to attend school and interact more openly. She later worked in the Magic Ministry's infirmary partly to stay close to Catarina.
Sophia harbors a profound secret: she is the reincarnation of Atsuko Sasaki, Catarina's best friend from her past life in modern Japan. Sophia has no conscious memory of this past existence, and Catarina remains unaware of the connection. Despite this, their deep bond mirrors their past relationship. Sophia occasionally displays subtle mannerisms reminiscent of Atsuko, which Catarina notices without recognizing the link.
Her relationship with her brother Nicol is deeply affectionate. Before Catarina, Nicol was Sophia's sole companion, and he remains protective. Sophia actively supports Nicol's romantic feelings for Catarina, hoping they marry so she can formally become Catarina's sister-in-law. She frequently promotes Nicol's virtues to Catarina and strategizes to facilitate their relationship. Concurrently, Sophia sometimes fantasizes about romantic scenarios involving herself and Catarina, inspired by their shared novels.
Sophia possesses wind magic rated at 3 on a 5-point scale, contributing to her ethereal presence. She is characterized by a vivid imagination, often indulging in elaborate daydreams inspired by her reading, formally noted as her "special skill." Her literary taste evolved from conventional romance novels to more mature genres, including boys' love (BL) stories, which she occasionally references for romantic advice.
In the original "Fortune Lover" game narrative, Sophia served as the rival character in Nicol's route, where befriending her was key to gaining Nicol's favor. Catarina's influence shifted this dynamic in the revised timeline, leading Sophia to form friendships beyond Nicol, including with Maria Campbell and Mary Hunt. Mary initially viewed Sophia as a rival for Catarina's attention, but they eventually bonded over shared literary interests.
Sophia's development centers on overcoming isolation through friendships, reconciling insecurities about her appearance, and navigating her dual role as Nicol's supporter and Catarina's devoted friend. Her actions are frequently motivated by a desire to preserve her connections, especially with Catarina.
