Description
Sophia Ascart is the daughter of Dan Ascart and Radea Ascart, and younger sister of Nicol Ascart, within the noble Ascart family of the Sorcier Kingdom. She possesses distinctive albino features: thigh-length white hair often tied with dark green ribbons, pale skin, and bright red eyes. These traits led to societal prejudice and bullying during her childhood. Ostracized as a "cursed child," Sophia became a reclusive bookworm, spending most of her time reading alone due to profound self-consciousness about her appearance.
Her life changed at age ten during a noble tea party where she encountered Katarina Claes. Katarina defended her from bullies, sincerely complimented her beauty, and offered friendship. This marked Sophia's first genuine friendship, allowing her to gradually open up socially. Bonding over a shared love of romance novels, Sophia and Katarina formed a close relationship. Sophia became passionate about discussing literary tropes and romantic scenarios. Her personality evolved from timid to cheerfully expressive around trusted friends, though she retained her bookish tendencies and vivid imagination, often fantasizing about dramatic love stories inspired by her reading.
Sophia wields Wind Magic, rated at level 3 on a 5-point scale of magical power. Her special skill is noted as "delusions" or a highly active imagination, enabling elaborate daydreams. She later works in the Magic Ministry's infirmary at her request, partly to remain near Katarina, who also works there.
A critical revelation is that Sophia is the reincarnation of Atsuko Sasaki, Katarina's best friend from her past life in modern Japan. Sophia does not consciously remember this past life, and Katarina remains unaware of the connection. Despite the lack of explicit memories, Sophia feels an instinctual, profound bond with Katarina, interpreting it as deep friendship tinged with romanticized admiration inspired by her novels. She occasionally exhibits mannerisms reminiscent of Atsuko, subtly noticed by Katarina.
Sophia deeply cherishes her brother Nicol, initially relying on him as her sole emotional support before meeting Katarina. In the original "Fortune Lover" game narrative, she served as the rival character in Nicol’s route, requiring the protagonist to befriend her to gain Nicol’s favor. In the revised timeline, she actively supports Nicol’s romantic feelings toward Katarina, hoping to become Katarina’s sister-in-law. She promotes Nicol’s virtues to Katarina and strategizes to facilitate their relationship, sometimes drawing inspiration from mature-themed novels like BL stories.
Beyond Katarina and Nicol, Sophia develops friendships with other characters, including Maria Campbell and Mary Hunt, through shared activities like novel reading clubs and student council work. Initially, Mary viewed Sophia as a rival for Katarina’s attention, but they eventually formed a close bond. Sophia’s social circle expands significantly at the Magic Academy, where Katarina’s influence helps shift noble perceptions of her appearance, leading to admirers.
Post-academy, Sophia continues working at the Magic Ministry. Her tastes in literature evolve from simple romance novels to more complex genres, partly to advise Nicol on romance. She remains a steadfast presence in Katarina’s life, balancing her affectionate, dreamy nature with loyalty to her friends and family.
