** Confirmed. Queen Nancy's Living Weapon was a scythe-umbrella called Todd (Death) and she kept it as a Skullgirl, while King Franz's Living Weapon is a WaveMotionGun-umbrella called Eroberung (Conquest).

Added DiffLines:

* Jossed by the webcomic and mobile game. The downfall of the Contiellos was simply the result of Double manipulating the Medici Mafia into carrying out a hit on them so that Selene would wish on the Skull Heart. WordOfGod is that the Renoir family are called usurpers by the people of New Meridian because they are descended from colonizers and conquerors, while the Medici and Contiello families are descended from the original inhabitants of the Canopy Kingdom and deeply resent the fascist-coded regime. As for the Renoir forces being present in the form of Big Band and Ileum, the mobile game and prequel webcomic exposit that the ASG Labs--which hadn't gone AWOL at that point--have the ability to detect the Skull Heart's theonite energy signature. As for Queen Nancy, Parasoul's story mode in the mobile game reveals that at some point--presumably after Selene's defeat, or possibly even ''before'' she became the Skullgirl--Double approached Queen Nancy Renoir with the Skull Heart (presumably having reclaimed it after Selene's defeat) and offered to let her use it to wish for world peace, but that nothing happened for several years due to her wish being tainted with resentment for her husband's warmongering--leading to Nancy's pregnancy with Umbrella being tainted by the Skull Heart's power. Then, seven years prior to the events of the game, the Skull Heart's curse was finally triggered and Nancy was turned into the Skullgirl.

to:

* Jossed. She had normal arms that were lost when the Medici mutilated her, with Lab 8 giving her the artificial parasite Argus to serve as prosthetics.



* Confirmed, to an extent. While it's never elaborated where the biomass came from, it ''is'' a part of Double that she can use to respawn if her body is destroyed, and even create multiple copies of herself from.




to:

* Jossed, to an extent. Robo-Fortune is designed by Brain-Drain for the express purr-pose of killing the Skullgirl and claiming the Skull Heart for Brain Drain, and is a PungeonMaster who thrives on references to memes and breaking the fourth wall. Her story mode has her seriously question Brain Drain's competence and attempt to use the Skull Heart to break free from his control, before deciding to claim it for Lab Zero and use it as a power-source for the RobotApocalypse.

[[WMG:Queen Lamia was the first Skullgirl]]
The Skull Heart--which is said by some WordOfGod statements to be the source of the Parasites--dates back at least to the ancient civilization, having memories of Samson's long-lost host Delilah--who is said to have died fighting an ancient Skullgirl. In Eliza's story mode, Double--a shapeshifting eldritch entity who is intimately connected to the Skull Heart--is stated to be Queen Lamia--who ruled over the ancient civilization before being overthrown by Neferu--as well as revealed to the Mother of the Divine Trinity... or at least [[AmbiguousSituation be connected to her in some manner]]. This implies that the Skull Heart was the first Parasite, and that Queen Lamia used--and possibly even created--it during her reign, but that after Neferu's rebellion it became cursed by her hatred--turning what was left of her physical body into Double after she was vanquished fighting against Delilah in a possible MutualKill.

[[WMG:The name of the ancient civilization was Golgotha]]
A blurb of text in one of the mobile game's loading screens has an unnamed researcher be excited about the discovery of Golgothan ruins, a DevelopmentGag to some concept art for a scrapped stage called the Golgothan Ruins--an ancient temple to the Skull Heart. This has led fans have speculated the ruins mentioned in the text are in reference to the crumbling statuary seen in Double's lair of Gehenna, and that the Ancient Egypt-cognate civilization that Eliza, the Divine Trinity, the Skull Heart, Samson, Leviathan, and Delilah all hailed from was called Golgotha.

** Jossed. The only person to treat Umbrella as JustAKid is Parasoul; Beowulf and Filia both try to attack Hungern (Samson recognizes Hungern as ''very'' bad news, and Beowulf thinks she needs saving from Hungern), Cerebella and Eliza try to kidnap her, and Brain Drain is forcing Painwheel to capture her because of her Skullgirl blood.[[spoiler: It ends quite happily, too; Umbrella is able to recognize the Skull Heart for what it is and destroy it. This has no negative effects on Umbrella herself, and she's last seen having a sleepover with Filia and Carol, telling them the story about how she beat the Skullgirl.]]

\n** [[spoiler:Jossed. Black Dahlia is able to make a wish without becoming a Skullgirl, because she's a pure BloodKnight.]]




to:

* [[spoiler:Sort of confirmed in Black Dahlia's storyline. She just wants to fight things, so she has no use for the Heart except as bait for strong opponents. When she finally does make a wish after killing anyone who could meaningfully oppose her (to be transported to a world where she could fight forever and never be bored), it is granted and she does not become a Skullgirl. The Skull Heart seems thrilled it finally got to grant a wish, too.]]




to:

* Expanded on in Dahlia's story. The Skull Heart thinks that benevolent wishes are impure because they negate the goodness of their goal by relying on an outside source to achieve it.[[spoiler: Dahlia manages to make a 'pure' wish due to her nihilism; she wants to go to a world where she is always fighting. This isn't a selfish wish because it doesn't hurt anyone and Dahlia herself gets no special aid in surviving, but it isn't a benevolent wish because it doesn't actually help anyone. So the Skull Heart happily grants a wish ''exactly'' as intended for the first time in its existence.]]

Peek A Bangs has been disambiguated


It's a very loose guess, but notice how both Valentine and Parasoul have things covering one of their eyes: Parasoul's PeekABangs and Valentine's EyepatchOfPower. The eye that each covers is the same side [[AmbidextrousSprite as long as they're facing the same direction.]] When they're facing left, Parasoul's bangs are covering her left eye and Valentine's eyepatch covers her left eye, and vice versa when facing right. It's possible that this indicates that, at the very least, they had similar experiences that cost them their eye. What exactly happened is anyone's guess, considering the two don't have much interaction.

One of Annie's listed dislikes is tomatoes. This could be judt becauae she doesn't like the taste... but keep in mind how long she's been around. Annie of the Stars has been around since before TV was invented, so it probably originated as live performances... back in an era whete it was supposedly the norm to pelt actors you didn't like with rotten tomatoes. Annie's distaste for them coul stem from resrntment over receiving one too many facefuls of rotten produce.

Kill Em All was renamed Everybody Dies Ending due to misuse. Dewicking


Of what we saw, at the Contiello matriarch's birthday party, Double in disguise delivered the Skull Heart to the birthday woman as a present. Lorenzo Medici, younger back then due to the Life Gem, had been after that thing already for unknown reasons, probably the power. He leaped out of his metaphorical seat to issue a command to [[KillEmAll literally murder every last Contiello]] to get that Skull Heart from them, even though they'd been pals until then. This order went down [[GoryDiscretionShot rather efficiently]]... until the Skull Heart was activated and turned the birthday massacre into a messed up welcome home party. Followed closely by a war party. When the dust cleared, the Contiellos were flattened, the Skullgirl was destroyed and the Skull Heart itself was nowhere to be found. Boo frikkin' hoo.

* Also they probably went with [[GratuitousGerman Hungern]] instead of Hunger because it [[AsLongAsItSoundsForeign sounds cooler]]. So [[UnfortunateNames Pest]] will get changed, too.

** There could possibly still be the opportunity for some characters to reappear as OlderAndWiser versions of themselves. Some may not even change that much, since Miss Fortune is TheAgeless as a side-effect of the Life Gem's immortality, Peacock and Big Band are both {{Cyborg}}s, and [[ImprobablyFemaleCast since almost the rest of the cast is full of young, teenaged girls]], a ten or even twenty year TimeSkip will leave most of them in their 20s or 30s, which would probably still be prime fighting age for them.

Specifically, it'll be more than the CoDragons [[GangUpOnTheHuman Ganging Up On The Human]] in a Sub-Boss Fight: There will be team-ups with the main characters based on where their story-modes intersect: Peacock and Ms. Fortune against TheMafia, Parasoul and Umbrella as [[EverythingIsBetterWithPrincesses the Princesses of the kingdom]], Filia and Painwheel [[spoiler: based on the NoodleIncident Filia has guilt over]], etc. Bonus points if, in later levels, one can customize a tag-team from a selection of characters, and get different dialogue - or even story mode consequences - based on those selections.

\n\n* Jossed by DLC. [[spoiler:Skull Heart belonged to Queen Lamia, who, along with Venus and Aeon, used Parasites to ascend to sort-of godhood. Then came Eliza and killed them out of envy of their status, but Lamia survived through her proxy - Double. Having complicated relationship with timestream, the Trinity made the Skull Heart in what it is now as a means for revenge. The SelflessWish is a scam - Trinity simply hates humanity and uses this plot to cause additional misery. Gender requirement most likely stems from Lamia being a woman.]]

After watching again Parasoul's story, an epiphany came to me. Umbrella posseses a strong affinity with the Skullheart because Queen Nancy was carring her in the times of her transformation (because she wished peace, the transformation was slowly). Double's story revealing that Marie uses to be brunette but the transformation bleached her hair white give me the idea that Umbrella was supposed to born a redhead like her sister, but the power of the Heart decolored her red hair to pink while in the womb. I have not heard anything about King Frank but, i'm starting to consider he may be readhead too.

** Confirmed: [[spoiler: Queen Lamia and her daughters were from the race on Precursors who ascended to sort of godhood with their technology based on Parasites and started to be worshipped as The Trinity. Then Eliza came and killed Venus and Aeon, but Lamia escaped this fate through the proxy body named Double, with the Skull Heart left from her original form. Godlike beings, the Trinity has complicated relationships with the flow of time, so in retaliation they made the Skull Heart into the artifact present in the game to screw with humanity, because now they hate humans' guts. And whole SelflessWish is a scam - the Skull Heart is a JackassGenie par excellence and will find selfishness in anything, just to rub it in.]]
