As for Sophia

Spoiler for Sophia:

I have no problem whatsoever with her reason for hating men. My problem is what makes her STOP hating men - a guy hitting her (which is abuse right there) and saying, "you're gorgeous." Really? All my problems are solved by a man telling me I'm pretty? And then she instantly falls hopelessly in love with him? Fuck that.

Touche. Well, I have an idea on how that scene could be altered too, one I think you might enjoy.

Spoiler for Mod:

When the transfer student comes to Lanseal, he approaches Sophia and tries to blackmail her (i.e. with embarrassing photos) into "pleasuring" him. Sophia, however, has other plans, and tricks Avan into helping her beat up the transfer student (and several others who are with him). After the fight, Avan is shocked to see Sophia (whose emotional state is in shambles at the moment) about to shoot the transfer student with a live pistol (not a practice gun), and hits her when she's about to pull the trigger. Avan does his best to convince Sophia to put the gun down and let the transfer student go. Sophia, however, doesn't completely agree with Avan's words; she shoots at the transfer student, but intentionally misses, simply scaring the living daylights out of him. Sophia takes to Avan's advice, deciding not to seek revenge over the past. As Sophia walks away, however, the transfer student tries to shoot her in the back; Avan intervenes and knocks him out.

In the aftermath, Sophia gets a week in solitary for discharging a live firearm at another cadet, but the transfer student is expelled for attempting to kill Sophia. Because Avan had saved her life (in more than one sense), Sophia develops a crush on him.

This is just a rough idea. Tell me what you think.
