Sophie

Sophie is a human 2.0 created by the Icon for their invasion lead line, and currently serving as engineer on the Rannoch. She is a skilled sharpshooter, but still learning at her position as engineer at the beginning of the story.

Personality
Having spent her entire early life being influenced towards being a meek, obedient soldier Sophie harbours a deep resentment not just for the company responsible for her childhood, but all other figures of authority. This leads to her often appearring curt, rude and standoff-ish to her superiors, but still naieve and emotionally childish to slaves or other non-threatening figures. The main exception to this is her owner, Aidan. Because his purchase of her contract  released her from the Icon at the cost of his own chance at freedom, she chose to stay in his servitude. This was both out of respect of him and the knowledge that he would not abuse this postion. It didn't take her long to develop a crush on her saviour.

Biography
Grown from a shipment of mass-produced fetuses Sophie is literally a child of the Icon, and spent her entire life being trained into a brutal, compassionless killer for either sale to the highest bidder or as a servant of the Icon itself.

Surprisingly however, she was purchased less than a month after her contract was made available despite her inexperience and lack of credentials at this point. This was because the buyer was Aidan, a product of the Icon himself, choosing to free a new soldier with his savings rather than continue to save for the near-unattainable target of his own contract. When he tried to free his new purchase however Sophie refused. The older soldier was the first contact she had made outside of the company's influence, and Sophie was unwilling to abandon him after he had granted her freedom. The older soldier eventually gave in and allowed Sophie to stay in his service.

Soon after this Aidan was bought by a wealthy young merchant looking for an attendant. Despite the buyer, Firran Ey'addis's original wishes, Sophie followed him onto the Rannoch as a technician and engineer, despite her inexperience in the field.

Skills
From her training, natural talents and status as a human 2.0, Sophie is faster, tougher and smarter than a regular human. Although she lacks the refinement of a more experienced soldier, Sophie is gifted at applying advanced tactics with brutal force to great effect. Outside of battle, Sophie is less sure in her skills and struggles with unfamiliar duties on the Rannoch.
