Description
This girl been in my WIP folders since like 2019 but she's finally done lol Her story isn't fully fleshed out, I guess, but this is what I have for her so far.

----------------------------------------

-Name: Mercy (formerly Sophia Reeves)

-Age: 37 years

-Alt. mode: None

-Affiliation: Autobot

-Sparkmate: None

-Weapons: Strange blue energy that can harden into any melee weapon of her choice; a majority of the time she uses it to form a sword and shield, as well as additional armor for her frame. She can also summon and fire projectiles of this same blue energy for long ranged attacks.

-Voice Claim: Francesca Battistelli

-Personality: Gentle and kind, usually very selfless. She lives up to her name, being merciful and compassionate to almost everyone - even her enemies. She tries to shine in dark times and be optimistic, even if she stands alone in doing so.

-Bio: Sophia Reeves was a woman of action; she lived recklessly, always on the move and always seeking new adventures and discoveries. She carried this on after her father, who was an adventurer himself in his prime. Knowing his daughter continued this adventurous bloodline, he gladly helped fund her travels across the globe. Part of her adventures included seeking and finding lost treasures, hidden relics, and things of the like.
One of her findings, however, would turn out to be an ancient Cybertronian relic; a device of unknown purpose, but whatever it is was given the means to protect itself. When Sophia got her hands on the strange device, she would find herself being chased down by Decepticons soon after. With the relic in her possession, she nearly took a fatal blow from the gunfire of a Vehicon; the shot hit the ground close enough to her that it still caused damage to her body, and triggered the relic she carried to engage a sort of self-defense mode. In doing so, the relic formed an artificial Cybertronian-esque body around Sophia. But in the process, rather than just being surrounded by the metal body, she became it; Sophia was gone, and instead a Cybertronian version of herself was born.
When the Autobots arrived and discovered what happened, they were quick to take her in. The poor woman was horribly distressed and confused for some time, but gradually she came to accept her new form - and life - and joined the Autobots in their civil war against the Decepticons. Now she works with team Prime, helping them however she can to defend Earth, as well as her new Cybertronian friends. In her missions, when battling Decepticons, she often tries to avoid killing and instead aims for acts of mercy, even towards her enemies.
-Other: While Mercy has no alternate form, she can fly due to powers given to her by the relic that she’s merged with. These perks include the ability to fly, and - when in more intense combat situations - she can engage in what she calls “Archangel” mode, where her wings change to larger, sharper shapes and the blue energy she can control automatically forms armor and weapons for her.

Also here's an example of how she looks with her Archangel wings, as seen in the bottom right sketch in the ref sheet: sta.sh/02axkmtsmy3k
