Soma Peries/Marie Parfacy
female, 23
series: Gundam 00

PERSONALITY

Soma Peries comes off as a collected, very professional and possibly a cold hearted person. Her personality is that of a strong and decided soldier and she will stand up for what she believes in, as long as she considers it to be right. This is quite understandable, considering the fact she’s aware of her status and abilities.

She develops a genuine hatred towards the CB, directed especially at Gundam Kyrios’ pilot. Her loses frustrate her, as she’s supposed to be the Super Soldier number 1 in HRL and when someone else proves their superiority, she refuses to accept that. The competitive side of her is somewhat controlled by col. Smirnov. When she was still ready and eager to pursue the enemy, he more than once stopped her and taught to enjoy small victories.

Later on, in season 2, seeing how A-Laws that she joined with deal with enemies -even though they are terrorists- her conscience lets itself known and causes her to doubt in her purpose as a Super soldier. She does not approve of victory achieved in uneven fight, such as witnessed by her in Katharon’s base.

Soma might be quite cold but it doesn’t change the fact she cares for the people she works with. Deaths of pilots fighting along with her anger her and she swears a revenge. Above all, she cares about S. Smirnov, who is a fatherly figure for her, almost becoming her foster father. Due to his influence she learned how much human contact is important, even if it’s just one person that you care about and who cares about you. At the end of season protecting the colonel and thus protecting herself from being left alone was a priority to her, not the completion of mission to defeat Celestial Being.
The fighting isn’t the only thing she focuses on and one could say she gradually changed from a killing machine into a woman. Although she used to think of herself as nothing more than a soldier, she changed and wants to be happy like every human being. However, the battlefield shows her that because of being a soldier and ultimately a murderer, she can’t have what she wishes for and awareness of this hurts.
Moreover, thanks to her brain’s abilities she’s able to read minds to an extent, as the example of her talking with Louise Halevy has shown.

The original personality of the girl is Marie Parfacy. The Marie persona is considerably more kind, delicate and quiet. She’s willing to forgive, unlike Peries because she focuses on good happenings in life. Marie is generally happy to be alive and for that she is thankful to God. A most noticeable sign of that fact is the name she gave to the fellow super soldier child- Allelujah.

Marie and Soma both have one dear person they want to be with. For Soma it’s Sergiei- only person who didn’t want to see her only as a perfect killing machine, while for Marie it’s Allelujah, who was the only one to hear her voice and who she could talk to.
Although Marie acts differently than Soma, she remembers what kind of person the latter was. She retained Peries’ memories and she’s aware of her personality.

BACKGROUND

Soma Peries is a creation of Human Reform League in more than one sense. She is a personality implanted in Marie Parfacy- a test tube baby- a part of Super Soldier Program along with Allelujah Haptism, created for only one purpose.
From the beginning of her life the girl suffered from a loss of all senses and the only way she could communicate with someone was using Quantum Brainwaves, a characteristic of Super Soldiers. This led to meeting and getting to know Allelujah, who got his name from Marie and from then on they shared a sort of a mental connection.

Sometime after the escape of some “defective creations” Marie personality was overwritten with Soma’s, “curing” her and enabling her to live normally, using all senses. She spent following years training to be a capable soldier with enhanced skills.
After being dispatched from the Organization at the age of 18, Soma Peries was assigned to work under col. Sergei Smirnov, who considered her to be too young to be a soldier. She began to fight Celestial Being as HRL’s Super Soldier no.1.
The meeting with the other user of quantum brainwaves was imminent and their contact resulted in splitting headaches and blackouts on both sides. Another effect was her going unstable and shooting at gravity blocks connected to orbital elevator. She was equipped with QB blocking device, which prevented another incident of this sort.
Due to the fact that the Soma personality was unknown to Allelujah, just as he was a stranger to her, they didn’t recognize each other. As time progressed, Soma’s resolve to catch or defeat Gundams only grew stronger.

During the years after final battle with Celestial Being Soma stayed with Sergiei. Ever since she was introduced to him as an ensign, despite being aware of her potential and endurance, he tried look after her as much as he could. A result of this care was his offer to adopt her, which she accepted. Unfortunately, this never happened, for everything changed 4 years later.

Soma was recruited by A-Laws, for which organization she piloted a mobile suit as a Second Lieutenant and fought Celestial Being again after it’s revival.
Meeting Allelujah in person triggered some memories of life as Marie to resurface as a flashback, but at the time she didn’t recognize them and was confused by them. Due to a second close contact with Allelujah caused by their Suits crashing on an island, the memories of her childhood returned all at once and the first personality became the dominant one.

The memories of her life as Super Soldier were not lost and Marie is well aware of her past and of Soma’s personality. After bidding Sergei goodbye, she leaved to join Ptolemy’s crew and for the time being is kept out of fights, helping on the bridge instead.
