Information A "supersoldier" with the rank of Second Lieutenant sent to aid Sergei in his goal to capture a Gundam. She had been enhanced by scientists from the Super Soldier Special Duty Organization. She is a designer baby, enhanced through experiments bet the HRL's supersoldier division. She and Allelujah Haptism shared mental connection as they were both experiments in the HRL. This caused her to go berserk in one incident and was later given a special suit to prevent this. She holds a special grudge against Gundam Kyrios' pilot, knowing that he is an enhanced human who 'betrayed' his own kind when he destroyed the supersoldier research facility. After her latest battle in which Kyrios used the Trans-Am system to defeat her, she becomes unnerved by the idea that a 'defective product' could outmatch her 'superior' genes. She later calls Allelujah by an experiment ID number, indicating that she may have discovered his true identity. Her true name is Marie.
She seems to view Sergei as a father figure, because he may have been the first person to show any sort of care for her. She even abandons the fight against Kyrios to extract him from his disabled GN-X; it is because she comes out of her mobile suit at this point to do this that Allelujah could see her and recognize her as Marie.
As a Super Soldier, Soma has proven herself to be far superior than any other soldiers from the organization or the HRL. She first appears as a cold-hearted person with no sense of tragedy nor sadness. Repeated encounters with the Gundam Kyrios cause her to develop a sense of hatred towards the pilot, particularly after learning he destroyed the HRL's complex to produce Super Soldiers.
Soma is driven to prove herself as the perfect Super Soldier, furthered by failing several missions to capture any of the Gundams, usually the Kyrios. She eventually learns that the Kyrios' pilot is a failed experiment of the Super Soldier project, known as E-0057 (Allelujah Haptism) and wonders why he is able to out-match her though incomplete. Her eagerness to defeat Allelujah is to prove she is a true Super Soldier and becomes increasingly annoyed that he is not affected by her neuro-brain waves as he was during their previous encounters.
Though Soma's priorities become focused on defeating Allelujah, it is revealed that she is not as cold-hearted as she appears. In episode 25, she and Sergei both fight Allelujah and are surprised that he is able to outmatch both of them. Though she is skilled, Allelujah (and his alter-ego, Hallelujah) comment that he, despite being a failed experiment, is the true Super Soldier because his abilities rely on a combination of intelligence and reflexes instead of animal-like instincts. Soma is nearly killed in combat, but is saved by Sergei, who is severely injured in the process to provide her an opportunity to strike back against the Kyrios' pilot.
Soma takes advantage of the opportunity to attack the Kyrios, but does not finish off the pilot out of concern for Sergei. She had stopped fighting because she cared about Sergei and recognized that she did not want to lose him and be left alone.
Gradually over the course of the second season, Soma becomes more and more sympathetic as she begins to develop a conscience, causing her to doubt herself as a super soldier.
In episode 7 of season 2, it is revealed that Soma Peries and Marie Parfacy are indeed two different personalities, with Marie being the original; she was later overwritten with the "Soma" personality. This caused Marie to be cured of her seemingly psychosomatic paralysis, while also suppressing her memories. After coming in close contact with Allelujah and being exposed to the name "Marie Parfacy" several times, the dominant Marie personality finally comes to the front.
As Marie, she is significantly more gentle and kind, almost immediately forgiving Allelujah for the massacres of their fellow brethren that he had committed by his own hands, and saying that she is eternally grateful for being able to finally see and touch Allelujah with her own five senses. When Sergei comes to rescue Soma, he also notices a significant change in her, claiming that her thanking him would be an action uncharacteristic of Soma.
Despite Soma's "death", Marie claims that she is still inside her, and that the two personalities are coexisting with the original true self Marie being dominant.
