Bio[]
When she was once Sophie, Weiss was one of the two girls alongside Scharlachrot who are genetically modified with respective artificial Arcanas, Gottfried and Baldur respectively into Valkyrias by Drexler Institute for their evil purposes. One of the fellow prisoners who are not entirely Valkyrias are Eko and the Hybride Minori Amanohara, with the latter was in a different cell. Until that day, Petra Johanna Lagerkvist rescues Weiss and her fellow prisoners (Minori included, but four of them unaware she was present) and to be raised as one of their agents to atone Drexler Institute’s sins. When Scharlachrot somehow disappeared and instead reappearing as Drexler Institute’s brainwashed servant, Weiss is dispatched to save her friend. Weiss also considers Heart Aino as the very active field-leader as Petra.
