!!!Bird of Death

->'''First Appearance:''' ''Soulcalibur III'' (2005)

* CombatStilettos: A carryover from ''V'', her boots have noticeable heels.
* DarkActionGirl: She's ''the'' villainess of the series, and acts the part in full.
* TheDragon: Nightmare's right-hand woman.
* FanservicePack: While she always had revealing costumes, Tira was very flat. This time around, her breast size has increased to that of Sophitia.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Her ring blade is quite odd compared to the conventional weapons found elsewhere.
* MsFanservice: With her most {{Stripperiffic}} outfit to date, combined with an [[FanservicePack increase in bust size]], Tira definitely fits this trope now more than ever.
* TeensAreMonsters: Only 17, and one of the most evil characters on the roster.

* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Having been stuck with the idea of being a "female clone" of Kilik for years ([[OlderThanTheyThink despite being there first]]), ''VI'' marks the first time Mi-na has truly diverged from Kilik gameplay wise in terms of getting new moves and inheriting [[Characters/SoulcaliburV Xiba]]'s exclusive moves. Now they play little like each apart from using rod-shaped weapons.

Whether it's the open heart, the lava-like veins, the restraint-like mask, the cobra motifs, the chain belt, the barbarian-like loincloth, the numerous and prominent SpikesOfVillainy, or just the giant ax, it gets across right away that he's bad.

Considering the game spans up to the events of Soul Calibur II, we don't know that for sure.


* CoolSword: As in the original timeline, her jian turns out to be the sacred sword Soul Calibur.




-> The sole surviving member of the Guardians of the Spirit Sword, a clan of sages tasked with guarding Soul Calibur. Zasalamel's skill as a warrior was unparalleled, but his arrogance saw him crippled and exiled for breaking the laws of his clan. Mastering magic, he attained a form of immortality through reincarnation; and seeks Soul Edge and Soul Calibur for his own enigmatic purposes.




-> Newly freed from Soul Edge's control by Xianghua and Kilik, Siegfried is haunted by guilt and seeks to atone for the sins he committed as Nightmare, as well as for the patricide that had sparked his descent into madness and search for the cursed blade. However, freeing himself from Soul Edge's curse will prove more difficult than he realizes.




-> A kunoici of the Fu-Ma ninja clan, Taki was exiled for her theft of the cursed sword Mekki-Maru, which was forged from a shard of Soul Edge - a weapon she seeks to destroy.



* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Talim appears in the rebooted timeline about four years earlier than she did in the original.

to:

* -> Born in a remote Southeast Asian village, Talim was the daughter of the village's shaman and raised as a priestess of the Wind Deity. Talim's life was peaceful, spent mastering her dual elbow-blades and learning to invoke the Wind Deity's power, until she became aware of Soul Edge's existence and set out to cleanse the cursed sword's corruption from the world.
