Sola is an upper-class student, appearing as a boss in The Legend of Dark Witch and a playable character in The Legend of Dark Witch 2. She is always seen alongside her pet, Churros. Her parents, Trap and Paola, are seen in The Legend of Dark Witch 2.

Appearance and Personality

Sola is a teenage girl with shoulder length hair that is two different shades of blue. In The Legend of Dark Witch, she wears a long dress styled after a school uniform and a sailor hat. In The Legend of Dark Witch 2, she wears a frilly dress and a more casual hat. She fights using Syega that she carries between her fingers.

Sola is the daughter of two aristocrats (later revealed to be Ich researchers), born in Liana. As such, she is a bit naive and has something of a spoiled streak, which several characters draw attention to. In Dark Witch 2, it is revealed that she left for the Old Islands to be away from her parents; however, she returns to Liana to visit them.

Relationships

Zizou

As early as the first game, Sola has disliked Zizou for breaking into her school and fighting all of the magical creatures along the way, thinking of her as incredibly rude and battling her as form of punishment. Then, during the second game, when Sola enters into Vilhelm Castle to look for her parents, she happens upon Zizou, thinking that she might've come there to cause trouble and harm Germa's empress. Overall, Sola sees Zizou as incredibly rude and as someone who brings trouble wherever she goes.

While Zizou doesn't show nearly as much disdain towards Sola as she does to Zizou, she still doesn't think particularly highly of her, as she calls her arrogant during their conversation in The Legend of Dark Witch 2.

Trap and Paola

Trap and Paola are Sola's parents, and are researchers of Ich introduced in The Legend of Dark Witch 2. Not much is known about them since they only make brief appearances in the game. Before the events of the first game, Sola left her parents because she didn't want to live such a sheltered life, and even went as far as to cut all communication with them. Despite this, she doesn't dislike them at all, as during Spring Break, she takes her time to search for her parents throughout Liana, and even scolds them for worrying her so much during her ending in The Legend of Dark Witch 2.

Codino

Codino and Sola are good friends, and both have apparently known each other prior to the events of the first Dark Witch. The two end up reuniting in The Legend of Dark Witch 2, and after a friendly battle, both agree to go out after the events of the game. From the dialogue given, Codino and Sola seem to be very close friends and know each other very well. Sola even ends up teasing Codino a bit during their After Talk in Dark Witch 2.

History

The Legend of Dark Witch

Sola appears as the boss of the Chelsea School Dormitory. She attacks Zizou and Riva for breaking into the school's dorm.

She repeats the following attacks in order (On Easy and Normal, she begins the battle using her first attack; On Lunatic she begins using her second attack):

• Sola flings several bursts of energy into the air that rain down onto the player as stars; The Orange/Yellow ones will curve to the left when turned into stars, while the green ones curve to the right. On Easy, she fires 10 bursts, on Normal she fires 12, and on Lunatic she fires 15.
• Sola flies into the air and unleashes a line of 9 magical missiles upon the player's position. There are no differences in the attack from one difficulty to another.
• At yellow health, Sola summons crystals that slowly appear at the player's position on the battlefield and slowly move in a straight line towards the player's position when they appear. On Easy, she spawns 5 Crystals with a pause between each, on Normal she spawns 7, spawning them slightly faster, and on Lunatic, she spawns 9, spawning them rather quickly.
• At red health, Sola summons Circlecron, which creates several orbs that rotate around her. Evading this attack requires the player to position themselves between the the orbs. After spawning 7 layers of orbs, she releases them, going in random directions and bouncing off a surface once before disappearing when touching another or going off screen. On Easy, she spawns each layer of orbs about a second and a half apart from each other and releases the orbs while horizontally oriented. On Normal, she spawns each layer a second apart from one another, and releases them while oriented diagonally towards the top left corner. On Lunatic, she spawns each layer half a second a part, and releases them while the line is pointed straight up.

Sola is weak to Bound Ring, which deals a significant amount of damage and can also destroy each of her projectiles (Though cancels out when hitting a Circlecron orb).

Defeating her grants Circlecron.

The Legend of Dark Witch 2

Sola is a playable character in Dark Witch 2. She uses her spring break to reunite with her parents Trap and Paola, a journey that takes her to Liana and ultimately Germa, defeating several Ich researchers and even the goddess Zizou Olympia along the way. At the end, she finally finds her parents and they enjoy their spring break together.

Her abilities include:

• Drop Bomb: Fires a small crystal that explodes on contact with either the ground or an enemy.
• Dynamo Plasma: Fires a burst of energy that travels along the ground.
• Circlecron: Sola uses Circlecron, her Technical Skill in the first Dark Witch.

Trivia

• Sola's magical pet Churros could possibly be based on Carbuncle from the Puyo Puyo series, as both of them are small yellow magical creatures, who nearly always accompany the player and can only talk in a single syllable.
• Based on After Talk 16's name in Sola's Story of The Legend of Dark Witch Episode 2: The Price of Desire, Sola is a teen as Klinsy is described as a prodigy.
