Sophia was an inspiration to Sophia from gnostic lore and greek entymology of the word "sophia". She is the female twin of the true god (jesus). She helped satanael rebel against jaldabaoth's dictatorship ruling over humanity ushering in a new era of freedom for humanity. Thats where atlus got the idea of her being humanity's companion and always being around joker (cuz his persona is satanael). Sophia translates to "wisdom" in greek thus, atlus created her as an advanced A.I
