Yoshino Sōma

Anime voices||TBA}}

Yoshino Sōma (相馬 芳野, Sōma Yoshino) is a slim woman with long brown hair. Yoshino claims to oppose her superior and former lover, Jin Kariya. She resembles Uryū Ishida's mother in appearance, but it is stated that the Bounts can not produce life. Yoshino seems to be the exception to the rule, as it was stated that she could reproduce. Yoshino also bears a great resemblance to Ran'Tao, the creator of the Bounts. The reason for their resemblance is because Yoshino is a copy of Ran'Tao, since the Bounts are artificial souls that were created based on Soul Reaper souls. She merges with Goethe after Kariya removes her seal, and dies when she is impaled through the chest by Kariya.

Goethe (ゲーテ, Gēte) is Yoshino Sōma's doll. It takes the form of a claw (on her left hand) and bracelet (on her right hand) when sealed. To unseal Goethe, Yoshino strikes the two pieces together to create a spark, which releases him. Goethe is a fire elemental, able to create and control flame. While mostly humanoid in appearance, it has no legs. It can't be attacked physically, being made of flame, and reforms if dispersed. In Yoshino's last moments, she and Goethe merge to create a stronger, hybrid being, allowing Yoshino to control fire herself.
