* TheAssimilator: [[spoiler:The Trinity as a whole are revealed to be this in Marie's story mode, as they absorb the will of anyone fully corrupted by the Skull Heart or killed by the Skullgirl. In fact, this is a ''crucial'' element [[XanatosGambit in their grand plan.]]]]



* SheWhoMustNotBeSeen: The Mother. Her cameos are in the form of a statue and a window in the Cathedral's stage and Double's ending as a shadow. [[spoiler:During Marie's story mode, this applies to all three of them as Marie cannot actually see their true forms with them instead using a copy of Marie to talk to her.]]

* SealedEvilInACan: Marie's story mode reveals that [[spoiler:the realm where the Trinity currently resides isn't some divine realm, but a prison, ''and they want out.'']]
* SheWhoMustNotBeSeen: The Mother. Her cameos are in the form of a statue and a window in the Cathedral's stage and Double's ending as a shadow. [[spoiler:During Marie's story mode, this applies to all three of them as Marie cannot actually see their true forms forms, with them instead using a copy of Marie to talk to her.]]


Added DiffLines:

* XanatosGambit: The Skull Heart is one MASSIVE one for the Trinity, as revealed in Marie's story mode - either someone becomes a Skullgirl strong enough to end the world and succeeds, [[spoiler:or enough Skullgirls are made and their wills consumed that the Trinity can break out of their prison, and then end the world themselves]]


Added DiffLines:

* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: As revealed by Double in Marie's story mode, [[spoiler:this is the "lesson" the Skull Heart is meant to teach - that no matter what you do, you can never achieve what you ''truly'' wish for, and that it's best to simply let yourself be consumed by the Trinity.]]

* 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.]]
* TakeUpMySword: Ironically for the trope, [[spoiler: she does this for the BigBad AKA Marie. Both being orphaned friends who fell victim to the Medici mafia, Peacock has nothing but understanding for Marie's personal quest to slaughter the entire family and their associates, but still reasons she must be killed. As Marie gives Peacock her dying words, Peacock gladly promises to continue Marie's mission of hunting every Medici down. With the Skullheart dealt with and no one in Lab 8 being around to pull her leash, Peacock promptly starts a Medici massacre around the city, and even raids Lorenzo Medici's personal tower to kill the big boss himself.]]

* SkillGateCharacter: Due to her high damage output and surprisingly decent mobility, Cerebella's often considered to be the "newb" character in ''Skullgirls''. Once she reaches higher level play her usefulness starts to peter out, though it doesn't go away completely. Dekillsage, second-best Skullgirls player after arguably the best fighting game player in the world (Sonicfox), has played Cerebella at the highest level for years.

Trope cleanup. Not an example. Nothing about Parasoul is sexual or seductive.


* MsFanservice: Doesn't show off as much as Valentine or Eliza, but her ridiculously short skirt that shows off her long, curvy legs certainly qualifies her as such. WordOfGod confirms she was meant to be the mature, sexy member of the cast.

* JackassGenie: It has a tendency to twist peoples' wishes to screw them over. Furthermore, WordOfGod is that its nearly impossibly to wish on it without being corrupted into a Skullgirl, since wishes are inherently selfish.

* FieryStoic: Krieg has the power to cry highly flammable tears of napalm, and is by far one of the most composed Living Weapons out there.



* GlowingEyesOfDoom: You'll know if Krieg is about to fire when his eyes start to burn brightly.



* NotSoStoic: Out of all of the living weapons, Krieg is by far the most level-headed. So much so that you would think they were an ordinary umbrella. However, despite this, the webcomic has shown that Krieg does have a few moments where he can be expressive. This includes [[OverlyNervousFlopSweat sweating nervously]] when Parasoul was at gunpoint, and is visibly offended when Peacock threatens to rip him to shreds.

* {{Leitmotif}}, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVC-95fnVYs The Lives We Left Behind]]'', which is odd as it is a song that sounds graceful and determined, and yet serves the theme of one the most disturbing characters in the game. And while it may seem like Soundtrack Dissonance, keep in mind that Carol is normally a kind yet persistent girl, so it could also serve as a reminder of [[FridgeBrilliance who she truly is]]. Also, the song is played in Maplecrest, which is also where she used to live.
