Biography
Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Role
This section has been marked as a stub. Please help improve the page by adding information.
Before Chapter 10, Sothis does not remember who she is as her memory is lost. Sothis meets Byleth for the first time in the prologue, asking them their form, name, and birthday. As the game goes on, she provides advice and her thoughts on the story's events to Byleth, slowly regains some of her memories, and eventually realizes her identity as the goddess of Fódlan.
After Byleth is sealed in a realm of darkness by Solon, she chastises them for rushing headfirst into his trap. In order for them to escape, she combines herself with Byleth, granting them enhanced power at the end of chapter 10. Sothis is not seen after this, save for her disembodied voice rousing Byleth to awaken from their five-year coma, and after the player chooses to have Byleth have an S support with Sothis at the end of the game.

Personality
Virtually nothing is known about the goddess's personality while she was alive. On the night of the ball, Sothis recognizes the lullaby that she hears Rhea singing as a song that she created, implying that she was a caring mother to her children.[2] The only secondhand accounts of what Sothis was like come from Rhea and the Agarthans, two equally but oppositely biased sources. Rhea held Sothis in such high esteem that she spent the millennium after her death trying in vain to bring her back to life in the belief that she was the only one suited to lead Fódlan.[3] The Agarthans, on the other hand, vowed revenge against her for destroying their civilization and driving them underground.
As a spirit bound to Byleth's consciousness, Sothis has a somewhat petulant demeanor befitting her apparent age, but maintains a dignified manner of speech. At times, she chides Byleth for their more reckless actions,[4] while at other times she teases them good-naturedly.[5] Despite her scolding, she comes to care for Byleth (and by extension their students) to an extent far deeper than her own self-preservation; she comforts Byleth when they mourn Jeralt's death,[6] and does not hesitate to surrender her own free will to grant them the power to escape Solon's spell.[7]
Despite her generally benevolent nature, Sothis demonstrates little mercy to those whom she judges to be wicked. She expresses gratitude towards Byleth for killing all the bandits who took refuge in Zanado, her former home.[8] In Three Hopes, should Shez kill Jeralt, Sothis will be even more eager than Byleth to exact revenge, to the point of forcibly controlling Byleth's body against their will to kill one of Shez's companions in retaliation.
Supports

Sothis/Supports
Endings
- Sothis's endings are identical to Byleth's solo endings; if unsupported, she has no ending.
Byleth, Wandering Flame & Sothis (Silver Snow)
Byleth defeated those who slither in the dark and put down the crazed Immaculate One. In the aftermath of the loss of Fódlan's great leading figures, <he/she> ascended the throne as the first leader of the United Kingdom of Fódlan. In <his/her> heart lived the indelible hope that their efforts would one day yield an era in which the people knew true peace and the horrors of war were a hazy memory of the past.
Byleth, Guardian of Order & Sothis (Azure Moon)
Byleth helped Dimitri to finally crush the ambitions of the Empire. After the war, Rhea stepped down from her role as archbishop, and Byleth swore to lead the Church of Seiros in her stead. <He/She> helped to guide the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus as it brought leadership to the newly unified Fódlan and worked tirelessly to create a peaceful world free from the shackles of oppression.
Byleth, Ruler of Dawn & Sothis (Verdant Wind)
Together, Byleth and Claude sent the Fell King Nemesis, a foe from a bygone age, back to the flames of eternity from whence he came. Afterward, Claude left Fódlan, leaving Byleth to ascend the throne as the first leader of the United Kingdom of Fódlan. As he took his schemes and dreams and efforts to a far-off land, he hoped dearly that their joint efforts would one day allow for a world where all of humanity can coexist in peace and harmony, regardless of borders or bloodlines.
Byleth, Wings of the Hegemon & Sothis (Crimson Flower)
Byleth fought alongside Edelgard to bring an end to the tyranny of a godlike being. Though <he/she> was wounded in the battle and lost the power of the progenitor god, <he/she> remained determined to walk <his/her> destined path. With <his/her> legendary blade in hand, <he/she> will never stop standing against those who slither in the dark until Fódlan at last knows everlasting peace.

Trivia
- In Heroes, Sothis does not transform into a dragon to fight like the Grima-possessed variants of Robin, instead floating into the air to "transform".
- Sothis's S support illustration depicted parts of her attire with an incorrect design in the initial release of Three Houses; this was fixed in version 1.0.2.
