| ⚫ | She descended upon [[Fódlan]] several thousand years in the past and took on a human form to live among the people. Her blood was used to create a race of beings called the [[Nabatea]]ns, also known as the Children of the Goddess. Her descendants would help pave a future for Fódlan of great technological and societal advancement. Her blessings were soon abused by the people of Fódlan, more specifically the people of a civilization named [[Agartha]], leading to countless, pointless wars and even attempted to kill Sothis herself, seeing themselves as gods. The war resulted in massive bloodshed and Sothis exhausting her power to restore the land, taking place over centuries. One of her final children, [[Rhea]], was born just as she finished restoring Fódlan. Needing to recover, she rested in the [[Holy Tomb]], while the remaining Agarthans went underground. |

||
| ⚫ | A secret underground civilization composed of the remnants of Agartha, known as [[Those Who Slither in the Dark]], used Sothis's vulnerability to their advantage. They convinced a lowly bandit, [[Nemesis]], to raid the Holy Tomb and steal Sothis's remains. Using her blood, they planted her [[Crest of Flames]] into Nemesis, while also fashioning her bones using their technology to create the [[Sword of the Creator]], a sword of unparalleled power when used in tandem with the Crest of Flames. Nemesis subsequently slaughtered many of the remaining Nabateans at [[Zanado]] using the sword, and Those Who Slither in the Dark used their blood and bones to create Crests and [[Heroes' Relics]] for at least eleven of Nemesis's allies. Rhea, the only survivor of the massacre, enraged and grief-stricken by the slaughter of her people and the theft of her mother, took on the name of Seiros and waged war against the King of Liberation to avenge her family and reclaim Sothis's remains. In the process, she founded the [[Adrestian Empire]] and the [[Church of Seiros]], the latter devoted to the worship of Sothis. |

| ⚫ | Rhea was able to kill Nemesis and reclaim both Sothis's Crest Stone and the Sword of the Creator from him. Still in despair from the death of her mother, Rhea desired to revive her mother to recover what she had lost. Rhea's first attempt to revive Sothis using the [[Chalice of Beginnings]] and the blood of the [[Four Apostles]] resulted in the creation of an [[Umbral Beast]], with the Apostles going into isolation shortly after. Rhea's later attempts involved creating a human vessel implanted with Sothis's Crest Stone in the hopes that Sothis could use them as a means to revive herself within them. Her first and subsequent attempts never manifested Sothis's consiousness, leading to several centuries passing, each time failing to produce a proper host for her mother's soul. |
||
| + | |||
| ⚫ | By the Imperial Year 1159, her twelfth vessel, [[Sitri]], was yet again another failure, but things were different this time. Sitri fell in love with the [[Knights of Seiros]] captain, [[Jeralt]] and the two were married and expecting a child. Jeralt bore the Crest of Seiros due to Rhea transfusing her blood into him when he took a mortal blow meant for her. The union of Sitri and Jeralt resulted in a child, [[Byleth]], who was born without a heartbeat. Sitri, near death from childbirth, pleaded with Rhea to place the Crest Stone into her child and she obliged. The transplant revived the child, and Sitri died shortly after. The extraordinary circumstances behind Byleth's conception lead to them being the perfect vessel for Sothis. However, before Rhea could take advantage of this miracle, Jeralt, having grown suspicious of Rhea as result of the death of his wife and Byleth's mysterious behavior and lack of a heartbeat, took advantage of a fire at the monastery to fake Byleth's death and disappear. Rhea was deeply distressed by Byleth's apparent death, and it would be 20 years before she would see Jeralt and Byleth again. Being a compatable vessel for Sothis, Byleth would occasionally see her in their dreams while growing up. |

While most are dispatched, the leader, [[Kostas]], manages to ambush [[Edelgard]], and Byleth leaps between the two. Just as Kostas's axe is about to strike Byleth, time suddenly stops as Sothis uses her power to freeze time. She berates Byleth for their recklessness but is suddenly shocked by the fact that she is now able to remember her name. Pondering Byleth's fate, the two realize that Sothis can not only pause time, but also rewind it, granting Byleth a second chance to redo their rescue, this time disarming Kostas. Sothis continues with Byleth, speaking directly to them telepathically, unseen by the rest of the world. She also grants them the usage of her time manipulation power which she calls [[Divine Pulse]]. |
She does not remember much about her origins, save the fact that the [[Red Canyon]] was once her home. |

=====Counters===== |
=====Counters===== |
||
Sothis is a tricky unit as her weapon immediately removes her weakness to anti-dragon weapon units. Blue close range units who can either bypass her speed tier and/or survive her magic based attacks are the best options. [[Hardin|Fallen Hardin]] or [[Selkie]] are two excellent choices given that the former can double her regardless with [[Vengeful Fighter]] equipped and has decent bulk while the latter has the natural Res to resist her attack while her Spd neutralizes both of their abilities to follow-up, thus leaving it a matter of color advantage on Selkie's part. [[Guard]] and [[Special Fighter]] are the best skills to slow down her offense as she does rely on Sirius to cause as much damage as possible. [[Marth|Legendary Marth]] does not have dragon effectiveness as normal, but he has [[Binding Shield (skill)|Binding Shield]], neutralizing her ability to attack or perform follow-up attacks depending on who initiates battle. She is susceptible to Resistance based Ploys as well as [[Panic Ploy]] since she has average HP. [[Dazzling Staff]]/[[Wrathful Staff]] can also help to chip her down or if they attack an enemy within two spaces of her, using the two staffs with [[Savage Blow]] to chip away 14 of her health per attack. |

=====Base Set===== |
=====Base Set===== |
||
| + | Winter Sothis is more or less like her Mythic form, but in most ways, even more terrifying. She is a Green armored dragon with perhaps one of the strongest statline distributions with an incredible 51 Neutral Atk and 44 Spd with her weapon. Her Res is excellent as is her HP and while her Def is mediocre at best, it is still workable overall. She has only one noticeable weakness, but other than the main one listed bellow, she is an excellent armored fighter and can run a mixed bulk set with ease that allows her to perform in either turn without much difficulty. |
||
| + | [[Snow's Grace]] automatically neutralizes her Dragon status, allowing her to fully exploit her breath's adaptive damage against ranged units without suffering from dragon slaying weapons. For good measure, she gains +3 Spd to bring her to the aforementioned 44 neutral Spd. Finally, the weapon is at its strongest so long as she is over 50% health as she gains a +5 boost to her four core stats during combat as long as she fulfills this requirement. She also retains her unique special [[Sirius (Skill)|Sirius]] which boost her Atk by 30% of her Spd (thus a base 15 true damage with her neutral Spd and weapon in effect) and also heals her for 30% of the damage she dealt. This serves as an excellent damage boost and heal in one package, making it further difficult to engage her safely without restoring her back to health. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| + | [[Distant Counter]] allows her to counterattack ranged enemies, cementing her ability to effectively check or threaten just about any unit in game. [[Special Fighter]] accelerates her special cooldown while slowing her enemies so long as her HP is 50% or more. Finally [[Threaten Attack Resistance]] inflicts Atk/Res -5 on enemies within two spaces while also boosting her Atk/Res by 5 if there is an enemy within two spaces of herself. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| + | Her only notable weakness is her Armor status, which leaves her vulnerable to Armor slaying weapon users like [[Tobin]] or [[Hana]] who also have color advantage and can exploit her lower Def. While [[Marth|Legendary Marth]] does not deal effective damage, the [[Binding Shield (skill)|Binding Shield]] prevents her from attacking. Firesweep Weapons can attack her in similar fashion without fearing retaliation. Finally [[Dazzling Staff]]/[[Wrathful Staff]] combo users can also achieve this same effect. Bear in mind that her bulk overall mitigates these to an extent where only a few instances occur where these are true counters. |
||
=====Skill Inheritance===== |
=====Skill Inheritance===== |
||
| + | Winter Sothis is literally built to go without any sort of inheritance needed to replace her existing skills save for maybe her Skill C to an armor/dragon oriented skill like [[Hone Armor]]/[[Hone Dragons|Dragons]] or go for the desired [[Armor March]] for armor teams in particular. [[Pivot]] fills her only empty skill slot as it gives her extra movement thanks to its ability to position herself on the opposite side of an ally. |

—Sothis talking to Byleth
Sothis is a character from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. She is a mysterious girl that only Byleth can communicate with. She possesses a major Crest of Flames.
Profile
Sothis is a mysterious individual, appearing as a young girl, though only to Byleth in dreams, whom she seems to have a special connection to.

In truth, Sothis is the consciousness of the Goddess, thus is in many ways the Goddess herself.
She descended upon Fódlan several thousand years in the past and took on a human form to live among the people. Her blood was used to create a race of beings called the Nabateans, also known as the Children of the Goddess. Her descendants would help pave a future for Fódlan of great technological and societal advancement. Her blessings were soon abused by the people of Fódlan, more specifically the people of a civilization named Agartha, leading to countless, pointless wars and even attempted to kill Sothis herself, seeing themselves as gods. The war resulted in massive bloodshed and Sothis exhausting her power to restore the land, taking place over centuries. One of her final children, Rhea, was born just as she finished restoring Fódlan. Needing to recover, she rested in the Holy Tomb, while the remaining Agarthans went underground.
A secret underground civilization composed of the remnants of Agartha, known as Those Who Slither in the Dark, used Sothis's vulnerability to their advantage. They convinced a lowly bandit, Nemesis, to raid the Holy Tomb and steal Sothis's remains. Using her blood, they planted her Crest of Flames into Nemesis, while also fashioning her bones using their technology to create the Sword of the Creator, a sword of unparalleled power when used in tandem with the Crest of Flames. Nemesis subsequently slaughtered many of the remaining Nabateans at Zanado using the sword, and Those Who Slither in the Dark used their blood and bones to create Crests and Heroes' Relics for at least eleven of Nemesis's allies. Rhea, the only survivor of the massacre, enraged and grief-stricken by the slaughter of her people and the theft of her mother, took on the name of Seiros and waged war against the King of Liberation to avenge her family and reclaim Sothis's remains. In the process, she founded the Adrestian Empire and the Church of Seiros, the latter devoted to the worship of Sothis.
Rhea was able to kill Nemesis and reclaim both Sothis's Crest Stone and the Sword of the Creator from him. Still in despair from the death of her mother, Rhea desired to revive her mother to recover what she had lost. Rhea's first attempt to revive Sothis using the Chalice of Beginnings and the blood of the Four Apostles resulted in the creation of an Umbral Beast, with the Apostles going into isolation shortly after. Rhea's later attempts involved creating a human vessel implanted with Sothis's Crest Stone in the hopes that Sothis could use them as a means to revive herself within them. Her first and subsequent attempts never manifested Sothis's consiousness, leading to several centuries passing, each time failing to produce a proper host for her mother's soul.
By the Imperial Year 1159, her twelfth vessel, Sitri, was yet again another failure, but things were different this time. Sitri fell in love with the Knights of Seiros captain, Jeralt and the two were married and expecting a child. Jeralt bore the Crest of Seiros due to Rhea transfusing her blood into him when he took a mortal blow meant for her. The union of Sitri and Jeralt resulted in a child, Byleth, who was born without a heartbeat. Sitri, near death from childbirth, pleaded with Rhea to place the Crest Stone into her child and she obliged. The transplant revived the child, and Sitri died shortly after. The extraordinary circumstances behind Byleth's conception lead to them being the perfect vessel for Sothis. However, before Rhea could take advantage of this miracle, Jeralt, having grown suspicious of Rhea as result of the death of his wife and Byleth's mysterious behavior and lack of a heartbeat, took advantage of a fire at the monastery to fake Byleth's death and disappear. Rhea was deeply distressed by Byleth's apparent death, and it would be 20 years before she would see Jeralt and Byleth again. Being a compatable vessel for Sothis, Byleth would occasionally see her in their dreams while growing up.
Sothis first appears before Byleth in a dream, asking for their name and birthdate. By sheer coincidence, the two share the same birthday. However, she quickly falls back asleep and the dream ends.
Shortly after this dream, Byleth—alongside their father Jeralt—are asked by three young students to help them repel some bandits. While most are dispatched, the leader, Kostas, manages to ambush Edelgard, and Byleth leaps between the two. Just as Kostas's axe is about to strike Byleth, time suddenly stops as Sothis uses her power to freeze time. She berates Byleth for their recklessness but is suddenly shocked by the fact that she is now able to remember her name. Pondering Byleth's fate, the two realize that Sothis can not only pause time, but also rewind it, granting Byleth a second chance to redo their rescue, this time disarming Kostas. Sothis continues with Byleth, speaking directly to them telepathically, unseen by the rest of the world. She also grants them the usage of her time manipulation power which she calls Divine Pulse.
She does not remember much about her origins, save the fact that the Red Canyon was once her home.
Academy Phase
"Just a minute! The following section contains spoilers. Viewing it will cost a lot. Are you prepared to pay for it?"

In the aftermath of Jeralt's death, Byleth seeks revenge against his murderer Kronya. Though they are able to severely wound her, Solon appears and sacrifices her to send Byleth into a void. Unable to escape, Sothis bestows her full power onto Byleth by merging with them, fusing their souls. With her power, Byleth is able to escape, and while the two are forever bonded, she no longer appears before them.
Rhea, having seen Byleth with her mother's power, requests that they sit on Sothis's throne in the Holy Tomb in hopes that Sothis' mind would also merge with Byleth's. However, to her surprise, nothing happens as Sothis' mind had, in Rhea's words, already "vanished" from Byleth. They are still connected in a way, as seen in other scenes.
War Phase

Sothis can be Byleth's lifelong partner should they choose her prior to the final battle of all four routes. Sothis's consciousness returns to confess her feelings to Byleth. She states that when she granted her full power to them, her soul had permanently bonded with them. When Byleth points out she said she could no longer speak to them, Sothis only replies that she also said they would always be together, and that she decided to come back to them in this way because Byleth was lonely. Even in the Crimson Flower route where Byleth loses the Crest of Flames, Sothis states that she no longer requires it as she is bound directly to their soul. Though still unseen by the rest of the world, Sothis happily declares her love for Byleth and plans to spend the rest of eternity with them.
Personality
Despite her youthful appearance, Sothis speaks and acts as though she were a grandmother. She is frustrated at her inability to recall her past. She is usually sleepy, especially in the earlier chapters of the story and sometimes dozes off or fades during conversations.
In the times she is awake, she offers commentary and questions the state of things, providing advice to Byleth on how to proceed. However, despite being a passenger within Byleth, she sees herself as above them, and sharply admonishes them when they respond to her with comments she deems foolish. She demands a certain level of respect despite the fact that she is ultimately powerless on her own as she must use Byleth as a means to interact with the outside world, albeit in a limited manner.
In Game

Base Set
Sothis is a Dark Mythic Hero who is an Infantry Red Dragon unit as well. She is a potent offensive unit who can be terrifying to face and immensely useful on the other hand. Unfortunately, because she is a Dark Mythic Hero, she is not suited for offensive Aether Raids as using her incurs a score penalty. Nonetheless, for defensive Aether Raid teams or general Arena Teams, Sothis sits at the top as a powerful asset with no particular weakness in any of her stats other than middling defensive stats, but her weapon and skills solve this. Her Spd is among the best in the game, especially with an Asset, allowing her to easily prevent follow-up attacks and execute them herself against key match-ups as well as a respectable base 34 Atk for solid offense all around.
Sublime Surge negates "effective against dragon" weapon effect, thus neutralizing common anti-dragon threats like Marth, Lucina, Alm, and Legendary Tiki, covering what would have been her one glaring weakness. It also packs Distant Counter for good measure, allowing her to retaliate against strong ranged options while also exploiting their lower defensive stat. Her unique special Sirius boosts he damage by 30% based on her Spd stat and also recovers 30% of the damage she dealt, giving her solid damage and recovery when it activates.
Sothis's base kit focused mainly on offense with Atk/Spd Solo to boost her two key stats when isolated from her allies, Wrath to quickly charge her special when injured, and her new Time's Pulse grants a special cooldown -1 effect if her special was charged at the beginning of the turn.
Counters
Sothis is a tricky unit as her weapon immediately removes her weakness to anti-dragon weapon units. Blue close range units who can either bypass her speed tier and/or survive her magic based attacks are the best options. Fallen Hardin or Selkie are two excellent choices given that the former can double her regardless with Vengeful Fighter equipped and has decent bulk while the latter has the natural Res to resist her attack while her Spd neutralizes both of their abilities to follow-up, thus leaving it a matter of color advantage on Selkie's part. Guard and Special Fighter are the best skills to slow down her offense as she does rely on Sirius to cause as much damage as possible. Legendary Marth does not have dragon effectiveness as normal, but he has Binding Shield, neutralizing her ability to attack or perform follow-up attacks depending on who initiates battle. She is susceptible to Resistance based Ploys as well as Panic Ploy since she has average HP. Dazzling Staff/Wrathful Staff can also help to chip her down or if they attack an enemy within two spaces of her, using the two staffs with Savage Blow to chip away 14 of her health per attack.
Skill Inheritance
Sothis merely requires Reposition (or any desired assist skill) to complete her kit as the unit position of the skill is the standard.
Since she is best set for a Defensive Aether Raid team, forcing the enemy into baiting her becomes a challenge. Increasing her ranged bulk is a solid idea with Distant Defense or improving her performance overall with Bonus Doubler to double any buffs she receives from her allies. Null Follow-Up will disable enemies who attempt to use Desperation against her and likewise any enemy that tries to stop her follow-ups, such as the above mentioned Binding Shield. Skill C is flexible in options, though Smoke skills work great on her.

Base Set
Winter Sothis is more or less like her Mythic form, but in most ways, even more terrifying. She is a Green armored dragon with perhaps one of the strongest statline distributions with an incredible 51 Neutral Atk and 44 Spd with her weapon. Her Res is excellent as is her HP and while her Def is mediocre at best, it is still workable overall. She has only one noticeable weakness, but other than the main one listed bellow, she is an excellent armored fighter and can run a mixed bulk set with ease that allows her to perform in either turn without much difficulty.
Snow's Grace automatically neutralizes her Dragon status, allowing her to fully exploit her breath's adaptive damage against ranged units without suffering from dragon slaying weapons. For good measure, she gains +3 Spd to bring her to the aforementioned 44 neutral Spd. Finally, the weapon is at its strongest so long as she is over 50% health as she gains a +5 boost to her four core stats during combat as long as she fulfills this requirement. She also retains her unique special Sirius which boost her Atk by 30% of her Spd (thus a base 15 true damage with her neutral Spd and weapon in effect) and also heals her for 30% of the damage she dealt. This serves as an excellent damage boost and heal in one package, making it further difficult to engage her safely without restoring her back to health.
Distant Counter allows her to counterattack ranged enemies, cementing her ability to effectively check or threaten just about any unit in game. Special Fighter accelerates her special cooldown while slowing her enemies so long as her HP is 50% or more. Finally Threaten Attack Resistance inflicts Atk/Res -5 on enemies within two spaces while also boosting her Atk/Res by 5 if there is an enemy within two spaces of herself.
Counters
Her only notable weakness is her Armor status, which leaves her vulnerable to Armor slaying weapon users like Tobin or Hana who also have color advantage and can exploit her lower Def. While Legendary Marth does not deal effective damage, the Binding Shield prevents her from attacking. Firesweep Weapons can attack her in similar fashion without fearing retaliation. Finally Dazzling Staff/Wrathful Staff combo users can also achieve this same effect. Bear in mind that her bulk overall mitigates these to an extent where only a few instances occur where these are true counters.
Skill Inheritance
Winter Sothis is literally built to go without any sort of inheritance needed to replace her existing skills save for maybe her Skill C to an armor/dragon oriented skill like Hone Armor/Dragons or go for the desired Armor March for armor teams in particular. Pivot fills her only empty skill slot as it gives her extra movement thanks to its ability to position herself on the opposite side of an ally.Quotes

—Sothis during Byleth's reveal trailer for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Sothis' appearance in Byleth's final Smash, Progenitor God Ruptured Heaven
Sothis appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate during Byleth's reveal trailer. The scenario is a spoof of Where the Goddess Dwells where Solon captures male Byleth in the void. Instead of giving him her powers, she uses an invitation for Smash to escape the void. Later, after Byleth is shown being defeated by the numerous swordsmen in Smash, in which Sothis asks how he plans on dealing with them despite being a swordsman himself. The scene immediately cuts to female Byleth instead, revealing that she is also playable in Ultimate. For her cheek, Sothis bequeaths Aymr, Areadbhar, and Failnaught for them to use in their moveset. Sothis cheers on Byleth as they enter Smash, vowing to lend her power.
In game, Sothis appears in Byleth's Final Smash, Progenitor God Ruptured Heaven during the start up sequence if the initial hit connects and grant Byleth her power saying "Your will and mine are now as one!", which transforms their hair color similar to how it is when the two merge. As the Final Smash concludes and the opponents are launched, Sothis is later heard saying "The end approaches!"
Artwork of Byleth's Sothis palette
Byleth's sixth alternate costume directly references to Sothis, while Byleth's form when merged with Sothis is referenced in Byleth's seventh and eighth alternate costume. Sothis also appears as a Legendary Spirit as part of the Three Houses DLC spirits added to the game.
