Sophie……….I have a bad feeling about this. ![]() Soleil: The same, you do whatever I tell you to do.Soleil: How about I’ll do anything you ask me to?.You really hit where it hurts don’t you…by the way what happens when I win? Here is an example from a support conversation with Sophie where they negotiate the outcomes of a deal: In a few of the Japanese translations, she seems a bit more aggressive and suggestive in her pursuit of her fellow 2nd-generation female child units than in the English translations. She also tends to flirt/hit on other 2nd-generation female child units in her same-sex support conversations (with the exception of her in-game conversations with Nina, as they both fantacize about same-sex romance). In the English localization, she only falls in love with Forrest (another 2nd-generation child unit, known to often dress in women’s clothing) and the male protagonist, Kamui/Corrin. ![]() In all of Soleil’s Japanese S-Rank Support Conversations (generally support conversations that end in romance or marriage of some sort), she ends up becoming lovers with the male characters or marrying them. However, it also seems that various parts of her support conversations were altered with other possible male romance options. This change in text of the situation with Soleil was met with praise as fans appreciated the localization team’s effort with ensuring that this was a consensual process for Soleil. The transcript of the English localization text can be found here. In the English localization, the male protagonist instead helps Soleil practice not getting as excited around girls by consensually blindfolding her. Many have taken this to be a problematic portrayal of date-rape and gay conversion therapy, causing the localization team to actually change the in-game support conversations between Soleil and the male protagonist. She accepts and says that she loved seeing the protagonist as a girl but she has begun to love him as a boy as well. The protagonist over the course of their relationship slips a magic powder into her drink, causing her to see people as the opposite gender they are, and in their final support conversation, proposes to her. In it, Soleil, who is known for having crushes on girls, asks the protagonist for help focusing on her work as a mercenary. A transcript of the original text is linked here. Soleil’s character development and support conversations in the game have evoked much controversy, such as her support conversations in the original Japanese text of the game with Male Kamui/Corrin (the protagonist). ![]() Soleil is one of the 2nd-generation child units the player can recruit to their army once her father, Laslow, has an S-rank with another female unit in your army.
