Sofía Cobalt

Sofía Cobalt is a character in Crimson Stars. She is a college student who wields a rapier known as Azure Bloodline. Gameplay-wise, she is a character who's playstyle is focused on poking and spacing, like similar characters Ki Kiske from Guilty Gear or Marth from Smash Bros.

Appearance
Sofía is a college girl who lives in the North. She has ash blond hair, with the hair wrapping around her left shoulder. One streak of her hair has a blue streak. Due to the nature of her innate magic prowess, she has to constantly wear winter clothing. Her wardrobe consists of a winter coat that has a snowflake pultruding from the lower right of the coat, a pair of black pants and winter books, and white mittens that can be converted to fingerless gloves. She wields the Azure Bloodline, a rapier with an added blue streak wrapping around it. She does not have a scabbard for it, instead carrying it around in a case like a backpack until she needs to spar.

Personality
Often said to not be talkative or aloof, people usually assume she's shy. However, she simply does not like to talk often and prefers the quiet. Even though she doesn't do it often, she does talk when she needs to, and her voice could be described as calming.

Sofía is always polite and courteous. Thanking her opponent after each spar. Due to this she is always a fan of fancy things like tea and sweets.

On her free time, she is either studying or reading out in nature, like under a tree.

Before the Events of Crimson Stars
Sofía was born in an unnamed town up in the North to a single mother. Sofía's father left shortly before her birth, with little details known to her. All she knows is what her mother told her: shortly before he left, he said "This blood has the most potential yet" and left his sword, the Azure Bloodline, behind. He mentioned "If she is just like her father, she will have no issue mastering the blade" before heading off, never to be seen again.

While she was younger, Sofía was actually more extroverted and loud. She would be a self-proclaimed hero. As her father stated, she became an absolute natural with the sword, showing mastery already at the age of 9. At the age of 15, her innate magical powers got awakened, which happened to be so strong that she got a weird cold for 65 days. It was noted that during those days, the air around her was freezing. She did get better, but her innate magic prowess requires her to wear winter clothes at all times or else, well, it wouldn't be deadly to her, but it'd be freezingly uncomfortable.

At the age of 18, Sofía managed to get into the prestigious South Gerald University. Where she pursues a degree in English Literature. She comes to the swordfight club often and is actually popular there due to her skills as a swordswoman. Despite this, she keeps quiet and distant.

Arcade Mode
Sofia, having one semester left, is studying with friends in the school library. However, as the semester is starting soon, she realizes that her mother cannot afford her last semester and her scholarships have run out. As she is calmly exploring her options, filling out a resume in a matter of seconds, she and her friends stumble across a news article on the web. "The Crimson Star Allegedly Reclaimed by The Lich Slayer". One of her friends reads the article out loud, including about how the Crimson Star can grant any wish and how the supposed Lich Slayer is willing to give up the Star if someone bests him in battle. All of Sofia's friends believe the article is bogus. However, something resonates within Sofia once she reads about the star, as if she's born to be drawn to it. Because of it, she believes that it really exists. She takes off to find this Lich Slayer and best him in combat.

Sofía Ending
After defeating the Hellkeeper, Sofia enters the pocket space inside the Crimson Star, where she meets a projection of the Crimson Witch. As she meets the projection, Sofia suddenly has shivers down her spine, as if something within her is being triggered by the presence of the great witch. She endures it, knowing exactly why she's here. She wishes for the funds to finish her school life.

3 months later, Sofia graduates. She has the Star tucked away in a corner of the room, as for whatever reason, whenever she stares at the Star, she gets violent urges towards the Crimson Witch

Skills and Abilities
Ever since a young age, Sofia has shown a mastery of her swordsmanship. On top of that, she has an innate intense chilling ice magic presumed to come from her father. Her innate magic prowess is so great that she radiates a freezing aura, and anyone near her can feel a freezing chill around them.

Some of her moves include:
 * An anti-air upwards slash
 * A flurry of pokes
 * A rekka that changes properties like Marth's side B

Plus at full health her slashes shoot ice beams like link because I think it looks cool (they have no hitstun)

Stage
Sofia's stage is South Gerald University. The stage specifically takes place in front of the statue of the founder. It has patches of snow and other students all over the place.
