Meet Sophia
The fierce plunderer at the heart of a new legend.
Sophia is a fierce young plunderer who appeared as an ally in A Plague Tale: Requiem. In Resonance, set fifteen years earlier, she takes center stage on a desperate journey to the Minotaur's Island — a place of myth, treasure, and deadly trials.
Unlike Amicia's stealth-focused approach, Sophia is a trained fighter who engages enemies head-on. She carries a sword and dagger, uses a grappling hook for environmental kills, and relies on a crew notebook left by her father to navigate the island's secrets.
Learn more about her backstory, allies like Leni, and the resonance connection to Theseus on our dedicated story pages.
