History Characters / SkullgirlsMainCharacters

* GirlPowered: Only women can wish on the Skull Heart, and thus become Skullgirls.

%%* MustHaveCaffeine: Implied.

-> Parasoul is the crown princess of the Canopy Kingdom, the leader of its elite military squadron, the Black Egrets, and one of few who can say they intimately know how terrifying the Skullgirl can be. Seven years ago, her mother, Queen Nancy, became one of the most dangerous Skullgirls ever known, and ever since she's been incredibly protective of both her kingdom and her survivng family. Armed with Krieg, a living umbrella, she aims to destroy the Skull Heart to avoid a repeat of what happened with her mother.\\\

-> The last living member of the Fishbone Gang, a band of Dagonian (fish-people) thieves, Ms. Fortune - the gang's only Feral member - came out of the gang's last job lucky: they had attempted to steal the mysterious Life Gem from Lorenzo Medici, and her fellow thieves had met grisly ends. It was only thanks to some last-second thinking that Fortune swallowed the gem before the Medicis caught up with her, cutting her into pieces. The gem's energy empowered Fortune, granting her a body that cannot truly die. Although she's been hiding out in Little Innsmouth since then, the reappearance of the Skullgirl has provided an opportunity to get out there, claim vengeance for her gang, and - perhaps - wish for their revival.\\\

-> Painwheel's story is a sad one- once a normal girl named Carol, she was kidnapped by Valentine to be used as a guinea pig at the most secretive of the Anti-Skullgirl Labs- Lab Zero, headed by the maniacal psychic known as Brain Drain. Implanted with synthetic Parasites and given a transfusion of experimental Skullgirl blood, these experiments drove the newly-dubbed "Painwheel" mad, with Brain Drain mentally controlling her as a precaution. Fueled by her undying rage and continuously trying to fight off the voices in her head, Painwheel has been dispatched to destroy the new Skullgirl.\\\

-> A schoolgirl who woke up one day with a couple problems: first, she can't remember who she is, and second, she has a new "friend" - a powerful, hair-like Parasite named Samson. She seeks the Skull Heart to hopefully remedy these issues, although doing so requires this odd couple to figure out how to cooperate.\\\

-> The star perfomer and the Diamond of the Cirques de Cartes, Cerebella is known across the Canopy Kingdom for both her amazing feats of strength and her alluring curves. Her strength is largely thanks to her hat, a living weapon named Vice Versa that only she can use. She's good at heart, but unfortunately is in with the wrong crowd - the mobster Vitale Medici took her in a while back, and he's been like a father to her ever since.\\\

-> One of many youths orphaned thanks to the war against the Skullgirl, Patricia was forced into slavery, and a deadly encounter with her slavers led to her being utterly mutilated. Dr. Avian and the members of Anti-Skullgirl Lab 8 would recover the broken young girl and rebuild her, equipping her with a reality-defying set of weaponry designed to eliminate the Skullgirl. While this fixed her body, her mind was a different story- twisted by her experiences in the slave camps, Patricia, now known as "Peacock", would become violent and deranged, and her love of cartoons would turn her weapons into a gang of animated cronies ready to help her paint the town red with the Skullgirl's blood... along with those who happen to get in her way.\\\

-> The star perfomer and the Diamond of the Cirques de Cartes, Cerebella is known across the Canopy Kingdom for both her amazing feats of strength and her alluring curves. Her strength is largely thanks to her hat, a living weapon named Vice Versa that only she can use. She's good at heart, but unfortunately is in with the wrong crowd - the mobster Vitali Medici took her in a while back, and he's been like a father to her ever since.\\\

* MinionWithAnFInEvil: The Medici Mafia are much worse than Cerebella is. Her favorite part of her job is being a performer because she gets to make people happy, and she generally only gets violent when directly ordered by Vitale or she believes the Medicis are directly threatened.

* AmnesiacHero: Her memories were erased when Samson was bonded to her. [[spoiler: Or rather [[EasyAmensia it was caused]] when Ottomo [[TapOnTheHead bashed her head against a wall.]]

* AmnesiacHero: Her memories were erased when Samson was bonded to her.

* TakeAThirdOption: In Marie's story mode, as oppose of killing Marie to obtain the Skull Heart so anyone could either wish or destroy it, Peacock decide to [[spoiler:[[IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight reasons with her]] and rips the heart straight out from her with the help of Fillia and Squigly in order to make her return to her sense.]]

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She's tomboy girl to Marie's girly girl, due to her being the most mischievous and rebellious of the two.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Out of all of the main cast, Peacock is by far the least feminine as she has BoyishShortHair, has a [[TomboyishVoice slight rasp in her voice]], and is quite [[HairTriggerTemper prone to violence]]. And yet, she has no issues wearing a pimped out dress.

* UsedToBeASweetKid: What little we get to see of her before she went crazy paints her as a rebellious, but friendly person.

* UsedToBeASweetKid: What little we get to see of her before she went crazy paints her as a very friendly person.

* SpannerInTheWorks: Is this to the Trinity. Thanks to her friendship with Marie, she was able to not only stop Marie from being the last piece of will the Trinity needs to cross over into the human world, but she was able to encourage Marie enough to make her get a second wind to live and break the cycle of the Skullheart, taking the will that was captured by the Trinity through the Skullgirl back, effectively sending them back to step one.

* WorfHadTheFlu: Due to the Ginormous Cosmic Timeosphere, aka the fabric of time and space, being connected to the Trinity who wants to keep Peacock out of the picture to get Marie onto their side, Avery is absent after freeing Marie in her story mode, meaning Peacock can't teleport or use her parasite that much. He comes back after the Trinity retreats after Marie breaks the bond between them and the Skullheart.

* ShapeshifteMashup: Just ''look'' at her! Her entire mass is up of bits and pieces from various characters that are all in illogical placements.

-->'''Ms. Fortune:''' Claws for Alarm!\\

* CatSmile: She's got a big, dopey, blissed out cat smile while she plays with her head in her victory animation. If you defeat her with a softer powered attack while her head is attached to her body, she'll have a cat ''frown''.

* PuttingOnTheReich: Gray and green uniforms, red armbands, Pickelhaube helmets (Though technically those are more connected to UsefulNotes/{{WW1}}), German-inspired weaponry (StG 44, MP 40, a Luger going by Parasoul's own sidearm, etc.), and the motorcycles used are of German design. Umbrella's addition to the game removes their red Canopy Kingdom armbands in her own story mode, lessening the Nazi Germany half of their design influence.

* ButtMonkey: Fittingly for her name, she seems to suffer a more than her fair share of bad luck or terrible fates. In all of the story modes she's been featured in so far, she's been -
** Crushed to death ([[AndIMustScream or worse]] going by her immortality) by Cerebella into the shape of the life gem.
** Captured by Valentine and cut up, tortured and experimented on by the woman until she escaped.
** Had her surrogate family kidnapped by the Black Dahlia and held hostage by the Medici mafia in her own story mode ending.

** Beaten up and plausibly killed by Robo Fortune, as she's not heard from again after their battle.
** Gets smacked around hard by Annie for wanting to wish on the Skullheart as a ''warning.''
** This gets taken to it logical extreme in Black Dahlia's story, where she is beaten and captured by Cerebella and Eliza, essentially tortured to the brink of death by Dahlia, kidnapped ''again'' by Robo-Fortune, who later proceeds to compress her into a new Life Gem.

* AscendedExtra: In most of the vanilla story modes her only real roles are to give the player character a MirrorMatch and to be the penultimate opponent fought before Marie, and even her own story mode offers little insight into her character. The majority of the DLC stories (such as Squigly's, Beowulf's, and Annie's) have her show far more personality and plot significance, with her even being the final boss of Squigly and Annie's stories.

* EldritchLocation: Her "stomach" is one [[spoiler: as Beowulf finds out]], which shows that it is the location of the Gehenna stage. However, that's not the strangest part. What really is strange is that you ''don't need to be eaten by her to go there''. This is best shown in both Annie and Eliza's story modes which reveals that Gehenna is located ''beneath'' the [[CreepyCathedral Grand Cathedral]]. So with that in mind, it is very much unclear if Gehenna truly is or isn't her innards.

* JerkassHasAPoint: In Squigly's story, Samson insulted Squigly's appearance and says the undead cannot be trusted when the Skullgirl is around. Although Leviathan's power has prevented Squigly from being controlled, [[spoiler: Marie said that the Skullheart's power could overwhelm her as her will falters.]] The Skullgirl has the ability to control the undead in the vicinity.

* VitriolicBestBuds: As shown in Marie's story mode, [[spoiler:she and Marie tends to bicker over their differences, with one of the latter quotes against her suggests that they're fighting ''over a TV''. Nonetheless, they still value each other as friends.]]
