Nadia Fortune is the last surviving member of the Fishbone Gang, who lost their lives in an attempt to steal the Life Gem, a valuable and mystical artifact, from the Medici Mafia. She managed to swallow the gem and gained {{Immortality}} from it -- or at least great [[HealingFactor regenerative ability]] -- which allowed her to survive the mob's vengeance (they ''cut her to shreds'' to get the Gem back). She lurks in the shadows of Little Innsmouth and plots to avenge her gang.

*** Pieces of concept art exist that show the cybernetics that make up Peacock's body. One such piece depicts her peeling an eye off her face as if it were a sticker. Peacock sees out of the eyes on her arms-- so what exactly are the "eyes" on her face?

*** Several pieces of concept art exist, one of which depicts Peacock peeling off her own eye as if it were a sticker. It's been confirmed that she sees with the eyes on her arms-- so just what exactly are the eyes on her face?

* EyesDoNotBelongThere: Those [[BlackBeadEyes black dots on her face]] aren't real eyes. She actually sees with the feather-like eyes on her arms and [[AnimalMotif peacock-like tail]], all of which can fire [[EyeBeams beams]].

Once a [[OrdinaryHighschoolStudent normal schoolgirl]] named Carol, she was kidnapped by Valentine and delivered to the Anti-Skullgirls Labs’ secretive Lab Zero. There she was implanted with synthetic parasites and infused with experimental Skullgirl blood, transforming her into the monster she is today. Violent and unstable as a result of these experiments, as a precaution she’s mentally controlled by Lab Zero’s powerful psychic director, Brain Drain. Fueled by rage, she draws her power from her pain and fury. Despite that, the soul of that scared young girl still lives on inside this monstrous body, desperately fighting off the onslaught of voices that would control her.

* OdangoHair

* {{Qipao}}: Though it almost looks like a NakedApron due to how low it is in the back.
