Sophie Pulone

Sophie Pulone has orange, bob-cut hair with curls.

She often wears a tank top showing her belly and black cargo pants, which appears to be her casual outfit.

She is an Earthian girl, easily recognized by her bright hair and energetic looks.

Her piloting suit is seen in battle, fitting her action style.

She likes to carry plush toys and treats them like family members.

Sophie is extremely aggressive and acts freely, often ignoring orders.

She is not afraid of hurting or killing people and even enjoys it, which makes her seem a bit like a berserk warrior.

She follows her desires without holding back and often makes decisions on her own.

Her thoughts and actions are childish at times, and she dislikes being watched or restricted.

She enjoys video games and treats her plush toys as family, even giving them roles like "dad" and "mom."

Despite being wild and sometimes cruel, she shows a softer side with children, who see her as a hero.

Sophie Pulone is a character in the anime Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury.

She is an agent who joined Ox Earth Corporation along with her partner, Norea Du Noc.

Sophie Pulone is just her code name, and her real name is unknown.

She works for a resistance group called Dawn of Fold, based on Earth and fighting against the Spacians' control.

She is famous among the children at her home base and is loved by them.

Sophie is an excellent pilot with amazing combat skills, both in a mobile suit and on foot.

She pilots the green GUND-ARM, Gundam Lfrith Ur, which has heavy armor and a giant gatling gun.

She doesn't mind the pain caused by the machine's data storm, instead seeing it as a way to feel alive.

Sophie is very good at close-range fighting and prefers direct attacks.

She can even fight well without a suit, showing strong physical skills.

Sophie becomes strongly attached to Suletta Mercury after watching her fight in videos and sees her as an "older sister."

She is close to her partner Norea Du Noc, who is even fiercer than Sophie.

She is admired by the children at her base, who think of her as a hero and role model.

She also interacts with other students when she enters Asticassia School, especially the members of Earth House.

• "Nice to meet you, Witch from Mercury! I'm Sophie Pulone... the witch from Earth."
• "People die when they ride mobile suits. Didn't they teach you this at school?"
• "See you, Suletta big sister."
• "I came to see you, Suletta big sister!"
• "Come on, let's duel, big sister ♡."
• "Suletta! It's not you! What I wanted was—!"
• "Who are you, since you don’t get killed by a Gundam?"

Arrival and First Actions

Sophie is first seen watching videos of GUND-ARM Inc., showing the school duels and Suletta Mercury's mobile suit, Aerial.

She laughs at their dreams and enjoys mocking them, but secretly grows curious about Suletta and Aerial after watching.

Sophie and Norea are sent on a mission by their leader Naji Geor Hija to attack Plant Quetta.

She hijacks a transport ship with her mobile suit and joins the mission to kill Delling Rembran, ignoring orders to just be a decoy.

During the chaos, she meets Suletta but fails to capture Aerial, having to retreat after a tough battle.

School Life at Asticassia

After the attack, Sophie and Norea go undercover at Asticassia School during the open campus event.

Her student number is "MP040," and she was able to enter school thanks to Shaddiq Zenelli setting up a fake recommendation.

Sophie runs up to Suletta and calls her "big sister," surprising her, but Suletta soon accepts her.

She carries plush toys into Earth House and enjoys school life, eating snacks and acting playfully.

Sophie and Norea are seen snooping around the school and even threaten Nika Nanaura when she discovers them.

Duel and Death

Sophie asks Suletta if she'll become her real family if she wins their duel, but Suletta refuses because of Miorine Rembran.

Sophie twists this into thinking that if she removes Miorine, Suletta will belong to her, and leaves with dark hints.

During the battle called "Rumble Ring," Sophie and Norea join the fight with their mobile suits, causing chaos.

She fights Suletta in space, saying she hurts others so she can get what she wants—like food, a warm bed, games, and someone who loves her.

Sophie almost defeats Suletta by using Gundvolva units, but Suletta activates Aerial’s strongest mode and turns things around.

Even as Norea begs her to retreat, Sophie keeps fighting, feeling alive from the pain and excitement.

In the end, Sophie is defeated by the overwhelming power of Aerial's data storm and dies.

Her body and Gundam Lfrith Ur are retrieved by Norea.

The children back home make a grave for her, and leaders like Naji mention that she was their hero.

Norea is deeply affected by Sophie's death, and this later leads to a tragic event at school.
