Sophia Esteed is a playable character in Star Ocean: Till the End of Time and the spin-off Star Ocean: Anamnesis.
Till the End of Time[]
Sophia invokes Meteor Swarm.
Sophia uses staves in battle. Her normal attacks at short range involve whacks and swats with her staff, while her long range attacks shoot balls of pink energy which damage enemy MP (her long range strong attack is especially effective for this).
Sophia learns every symbol available to the party in the game and her Connection gene manifests in her most powerful skills as summoning symbols: Blood Scylla summons a demon that drains health and mana, and Gremlins summons hamster-like creatures that swarm enemies, interrupting their actions with multiple hits. Her special battle skill, Meteor Swarm, has her dance on the spot, reciting a long incantation before finally facing the heavens and calling the attack. Many enormous flaming meteors then rain down on the field for an extended period of time, dealing massive damage to enemies.
Being the team's quintessential spell user means she has low attack, defense, and HP in comparison to her sturdier allies, and she cannot withstand a lot of punishment from enemies. While she can use Aerial and Charge like everyone else can, she will never make the best use of them.
