Added DiffLines:

** [[spoiler: Eliza's story mode ends with her having killed about half the main cast (Cerebella's death is especially brutal). Squigly is now entombed in her house, Miss Fortune is her slave, and Filia is trapped in some sort of blood mummification until Eliza finds a more obedient host for Samson. Not to mention the scene where she turns herself into a blood creature of Godzilla proportions. Coupled with her hunger for conquest, the world is pretty much ''screwed''.]]

* The first fan picked character Eliza: Gorgeous Buxom Cleopatra look-a-like, who is really a millennia old vampire/mummy who lives off the blood of others. If she runs out of blood her true desiccated form shows.

* The first fan picked character Eliza: Gorgeous Buxom Cleopatra look-a-like, who is really a millennia old vampire/mummy who lives off Eliza might seem sexy on the blood outside...[[FanDisservice but that's before you realize everything else about her]].
** Her fighting style involves [[BloodyMurder manipulating her blood]] into all kinds
of others. If shapes and sizes, complete with a proper squish noise accompanying it.
** Hiding directly under her is the Parasite Sekhmet, a skeletal parasite that has basically taken over any kind of bone mass she's ever had. Anytime Eliza summons her for attacks
she runs ''[[BodyHorror rips out from Eliza's skin]]''.
** A bit
of blood FridgeHorror also comes into play when you realize Eliza doesn't actually have a body--anything on her true desiccated form shows. that isn't Sekhmet is basically blood. Including her skin, clothes, face, ''everything.''

* Fukua is in-universe NightmareFuel for Filia. Her story mode takes place in one of Filia's dreams, which ends in Fukua killing her, ''skinning her head, '''and wearing her face as a mask!'''''

** If you think it's bad in the current storyline, [[WhatCouldHaveBeen the original was a HELL of a lot worse!]] Not only is Samson explicitly depicted as a ManipualtiveBastard, but [[spoiler: it's shown he deliberately mind-wiped Filia in the first place, [[MoreThanMindControl used the state to manipulate]] Filia into a more overtly sinister goal, and ''[[ImAHumanitarian he devoured]]'' ''[[YouKilledMyFather her parents]]'' in the process!]] What's worse is that this is coming dangerously close to returning to canon, if the Samson DLC has anything to say about it!

*** Considering Annie's implied to be pretty old and Alex Ahad said she's crossed paths with Double multiple times (likely while on her way to kill the various Skullgirls that have popped up through the ages) it's pretty likely she WAS immortal. And if she was, how many rejected Skullheart candidates has she consumed over the years...?

** In Cerebella's Story Mode she chases Ms. Fortune to a church but is met by none other than Valentine saying something to the effect of: "Despite being mutilated so, the specimen still lives! Truly fascinating..." The implication being that Nadia got there first, was beaten by Valentine, and that she's been conducting horrifying experiments on her until you showed up. Poor girl can't catch a break in that Story Mode.

* The fate of a woman who is deemed impure by the Skullheart. There will be a slow and painful process that starts with her gaining pale skin and hair, along with red eyes that form skull-shaped irises. She will also gain a skull and bone motif, destructive power, and the Skull Heart in their exposed back. It is said that Marie's heart was strong enough for her to keep her will intact, meaning that those that lack that (like Parasoul's mother Queen Nancy) will attack everything in sight. According to Double, Umbrella's (Queen Nancy carried the Skull Heart and her when trying to wish for peace to end the Great War) bond with the Skull Heart will be even worse than it can be imagined. Considering that the power of the corrupted Queen caused the warring kingdoms to cooperate to stop her, this is saying something.
