Sophia Amae

Sophia Amae (소피아 아마에) was a Gong Bang research assistant and Cassano's and Horyang's teacher until the boys reached the age of 12.

Story
Sophia was part of the team that developed Ignition Weapons.

Unlike other researchers, she treated the then young Cassano and Horyang as human beings. Under her tutelage, Cassano and Horyang learned Macseth language. Together, they laughed, talked, and played around. Horyang recalls that those things were the most beautiful and valuable among all of the things that he learned from the Gong Bang. She also gave them their first non-numeric names; the name she gave Horyang (no. 21) was Beniamino Ilmal and the name she gave Cassano (no. 99) was Beniamino Cassano. However, once they became living Ignition Weapons, they never saw her again.

Archimedes
She reappears on the Archimedes, located in the Acorn Workshop and she continues her work of creating Living Ignition Weapons, teaching Cassano and Horyang about her new creations such as Beta and Emily. This, however, reveals to Horyang the possibility that her 'love' might have been an act to help her research all along, causing him a great amount of despair.

Appearance
Sophia is almost never seen unhappy, and retains a relatively young look, although her age is unknown. She has brown eyes and hair, and wears a brown turtle-neck and a black dress. She always dons a scientist's coat.

Personality
Sophia is a fairly compassionate woman, being noted for being the only researcher who treated Cassano and Horyang as if they were only human beings. She seemed to always retain a happy attitude, and was never seen angry.

Notes and Trivia

 * Horyang describes her as their first love.
