Sochie Heim (ソシエ・ハイム Soshie Haimu?) is a fictional character from ∀ Gundam television series.
Personality & Character[]
The second daughter of the Heim family. Sochie is a spoiled, headstrong tomboy who is continually overshadowed by her sister Kihel. She was determined to join the Inglessa Militia even before Dianna Counter's attack, and is among the first to pilot one of Sid Munzer's excavated mobile suits. Despite her bravado, she drastically overestimates her own piloting ability.
While Sochie suffers a great deal of loss over the course of the series, her trials make her a stronger person, and she never loses her fighting spirit. She also becomes calmer and more understanding through her experiences.
History[]
Sochie eventually becomes a well-respected soldier, though her AMX-109 Kapool is one of the weakest mobile suits in the series. She is also one of the few who pilots the SYSTEM ∀-99 ∀ Gundam, though she isn't as skilled with it as Loran.
The death of Sochie's father causes her to hate the Moonrace and she feels betrayed when she discovers that her crush Loran is from the Moon. It takes a long time for her to grow up and soften her views. She continues to fight for the Inglessa Militia even after the fall of Nocis City and allies with the Luzianna Militia, travelling around the Earth with the Militias and Dianna, who she believes is actually Kihel. During this time she develops a relationship with Gavane, and accepts his proposal. However, he dies in a nuclear explosion. Sochie is saddened by this and resolves to never let something like that happen again. After she is approached by Ralpha Zenoa and handed the remaining nuclear warheads, she becomes more sympathetic towards the Moonrace.
Thanks to Lorn needing to dispose of the remaining warheads, Sochie tries hard to help Loran and the Willgem reach space. While in space, she finally reunites with Kihel who was on the same ship but confined by Guin. She realises that Kihel and Dianna had swapped places between the fall of Nocis City and their reunion. Rather than being upset, she accepts that Dianna is just like her sister and that she can no longer hate her completely. They reunite with Dianna but the trio are separated from everyone else after Loran nukes the abandoned colony before it can fall on a populated city.[1] They continue towards the moon so that Dianna can meet Agrippa, where Sochie learns about Loran's hometown.[2] They also reunite with Miashei and the rest of the Militia soon after.[3]
Once the war is over Sochie takes over as the head of the Heim family's businesses.
Throughout the series Sochie is shown to develop a romantic interest for Loran. However, at the end of the series Loran takes on a mission to accompany Dianna, leaving Sochie behind, frustrated and saddened. This leads her to throw his childhood toy in the river where they first met. It is revealed that Loran took on this mission out of loyalty to Dianna and duty to watch over her until her inevitable death due to illness caused by long periods of hibernation.
Relationships[]
Loran Cehack[]
Though she likes Loran, Sochie initially looks down on him, thinking he is incompetent. Her hatred for the Moonrace often puts her at odds with Loran who prefers a more peaceful resolution. Once she learns that Loran himself is from the Moonrace, she slaps him in anger and loses all trust in him.
Eventually, she softens her stance on Loran and sees him as an ally once more. She also comes to acknowledge his skills. That being said, they still tend to argue because of their different approaches towards situations. She also gets annoyed by how he prioritises Kihel over her, unaware that Kihel had actually swapped places with Dianna.
Kihel Heim[]
The sisters' relationship becomes tense after the death of their father as Sochie's hatred for the Moonrace grows. Kihel tries to solve the conflict through diplomacy, while Sochie wants to fight them and drive them out of Earth. This continues even after Kihel swaps places with Dianna, as Sochie is unable to tell the difference. When the two swap back and Kihel goes on the run, Sochie is worried about her and goes off to look for her.
Miashei Kune[]
Miashei is Sochie's best friend. Miashei is supportive of Sochie's desire to be a pilot and looks out for her, though they also have friendly competition with each other. They are usually seen together and later on with Fran Doll. They both agree that the atomic weapons need to be disposed of.
Gavane Goonny[]
The pair are from different militia which both share a rivalry, so the two tend to argue in the beginning. However, both the militia and the pair grow closer over time and Gavane ends up proposing to Sochie. Though she only accepts in order to make Loran jealous, she does like him and is saddened by his death. She wears the wedding dress he brought her while mourning his passing.
Fran Doll[]
Sochie is initially suspicious of Fran as she sees her as a potential rival in love. She is aware that Loran is sharing a secret of some kind with Keith and Fran, and after learning that Loran is Moonrace, she figures out that Fran is also Moonrace. However, the two become friends anyway. Sochie mentions that she is interested in reading Fran's book after the war.[4]
Dianna Soreil[]
Sochie initially hates Dianna, who is the leader of her hated enemy (the Moonrace). She can't stand having to be friendly with her and Guin has to calm her down. She often badmouths her, often in the presence of the actual Dianna who has swapped places with Kihel. After she learns that Kihel had swapped places with Dianna, she softens her view on Dianna and realises that the two are practically the same which makes it hard to continue hating her. She helps Loren in his attempt to rescue her.
