Artificial Intelligence: She's an AI, specifically a prototype for the AI that runs the EMMA application.Antagonistic Offspring: She was created by Ichinose and goes against her near the end of the game to protect humanity from EMMA.Given that she's an AI and that her base hairstyle looks like Boyish Short Hair, it's unclear whether they're supposed to represent her hair or antennae. These pigtails combine into a ponytail when she's in combat. Anime Hair: Her pigtails are in the shape of chains of hearts that aren't physically connected to her head.Immediately afterward, Sophia gains Makougaon, which is the only way for her to learn Makougaon (even in New Game+). 11th-Hour Superpower: She awakens to Pandora and gains the Hope Arcana late in the game after rejecting Kuon's orders to kill the Phantom Thieves.Interestingly, a more appropriate representation of the original interpretation where she is an aspect of the true god who accidentally created the Demiurge exists in the game. Unlike the traditional Gnostic depiction of Sophia as an aspect of the 'True God', this one appears to be based on the Nag Hammadi Gnostic texts where she is the lowest Aeon that represents wisdom. Later on, however, she awakens and Pithos transforms into a true Persona: Pandora, the first human woman from Greek mythology, as well as the one responsible for unleashing all of humanity's evils on the world after opening the fabled 'Pandora's Box'. Traditionally, a pithos is a type of container from the Neolithic, Bronze Age, and Iron Age.

She joins the Phantom Thieves to investigate the Shadow invasions around Japan as an honorary member.Īt first, she battles using a Persona-like entity named Pithos, which manifests as a set of four pillar-like objects covered in abstract, black-and-white patterns. Her original form is a massive box, but took this form per Joker's wishes. A strange girl that Joker encounters while the Phantom Thieves pursue the ongoing incidents across Japan.
