| 5 | |
| 6 | All of these characters (as well as Marie, Aeon, and Venus) were listed as potential candidates to be added as the fourth and fifth DLC characters to the original game as well as potentially being playable in any possible sequels (with the exception of Juju). Many of them are either mentioned or appear in brief cameos during the story lines. [[http://www.labzerogames.com/3rdcharacter/ Read here for full details of their stories and potential movesets.]] |

| 10 | !!! Tropes that all of these characters have in common: |
| 11 | |
| 12 | %%* BadassAdorable |
| 13 | %%* BadassCrew: Not literally a team, but all of the DLC characters are definitely badasses in their own right. |
| 14 | %%* BadassNormal |
| 15 | * ChekhovsGunman: Majority of the characters have already had on-screen cameos or a mention by name in the original cast's profiles. |
| 16 | * PromotedToPlayable: Annie, Umbrella, and Black Dahlia were part of this list up until they were announced as proper characters for release in 2021. [[https://forum.skullgirlsmobile.com/threads/official-faq-annie-2nd-encore-new-character.17213/ A forum post]] following the release of Annie's trailer revealed that this may end up being the case for any of the other characters listed below as a result. |
| 17 | * SavedForTheSequel: Any or all of them could have been (or could be), although recent developments have shown that they may not have to wait that long (with the exception of Juju, who was cancelled outright). |

| 31 | * AscendedExtra: Appears in the tutorial stage and in Filia's ending. |
| 32 | * FunctionalGenreSavvy: She's said to have a lot of knowledge when it comes to fighting games -- something that obviously helps when she's in one herself. |
| 33 | * HotTeacher: Mrs. Victoria is a very good teacher and quite the fetching woman, with a shapely figure emphasised by a tight skirt and sheer stockings. |
| 34 | * MeaningfulName: Her name is Victoria, and she's a teacher. She's guiding her students so they can be ''victorious'' in their future endeavours. She also shares both her first and last names with notable members of UsefulNotes/TheBritishRoyalFamily, fitting her commanding and formal presence. |
| 35 | * PrimAndProperBun: At the back of her head. |

| 46 | * TheCameo: Makes a minor appearance in Beowulf's story as one of the fighters captured by Double. |
| 47 | * DarkIsNotEvil: What Batman is to flying rodents, she is to [[DressedLikeADominatrix Dominatrix gear]]. |
| 48 | * DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Pazuzu has a rather... suggestive bulging vein, and its drool is thick and white. Not to mention its serpentine mouth. [[ShmuckBait Google what part of the god Pazuzu resembled a serpent. Go ahead, do it.]] Not to mention that it can ''"change rigidity when needed''." And yes, that is a direct quote from the site. |
| 49 | * HotAsHell: Horns, check. Pointy tail, check. Ridiculously revealing outfit, double check. |

| 51 | * SnakeWhip: Her whip, Pazuzu, has a viper's head complete with fangs. |
| 52 | * {{Stripperific}}: Bar a domino mask and afew pieces covering up the [[NippleAndDimed particularly naughty bits]], she may as well be naked. |
| 53 | * WhipOfDominance: Deep Violet, Mrs. Victoria's alter-ego, wields a whip called the [[NamedWeapons Pazuzu Whip]] and she's a demonic dominatrix and has a thing for dominance. |

| 60 | |
| 61 | A Dagonian scientist who works at Anti-Skullgirl Lab 8 and a colleague of Dr. Avian, who helped in turning Patricia into Peacock, and Ben into Big Band. He is an ex-member of Lab 4, a lab that specialized in handheld weapons. He is also a sports buff. |
| 62 | ---- |
| 63 | !!Tropes associated with Stanley: |
| 64 | * AscendedExtra: Appears as a background character in the Lab 8 stage. |
| 65 | * {{Expy}}: InUniverse, Peacock's buddy Andy Anvil is based on Stanley; the head and love of sports mainly. |
| 66 | * FishPeople: A SharkMan, to be precise. |
| 67 | * IKnowMaddenKombat: Justified, since he's a sports buff. |
| 68 | * LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine: As expected. It might have {{Hammerspace}} pockets, since he apparently carries a number of weapons in it (including sports implements like baseball bats). |
| 69 | * NerdGlasses: A shark with glasses, to be exact. |

| 76 | |
| 77 | A member and subject of Anti-Skullgirls Lab 8. While she is a flight-capable ASG soldier, she is also still a teenage girl who can be ill-tempered at times. She and Leduc are like brother and sister. She possesses the Synthetic Parasite Beezle Bomb. |
| 78 | ---- |
| 79 | !!Tropes associated with Hive: |
| 80 | * BeeBeeGun: Her Synthetic Parasite gives her this, with bee-shaped missiles and bombs. |
| 81 | * TheCameo: Appears as a background character in the Lab 8 stage and in Peacock's story. |
| 82 | %%* CoolBigSis: To Leduc. |
| 83 | * PoweredArmor: Beezle Bomb can function like this, forming into different weapons or shields. |
| 84 | * ShapeShifterWeapon: In combat the Hives of Beezle Bomb cover her arms but she can switch their shape at will. |
| 85 | * VerbalTic: Has a tendency to hold her B's while speaking, resulting in her sometimes sounding (fittingly enough) like a buzzing bee. |

| 93 | A member and subject of Anti-Skullgirl Lab 8. A young hero type with a good heart, he and Hive are like brother and sister. He's an idealist, and wields a Synthetic Parasite, the Taranis Generator. |
| 94 | ---- |
| 95 | !!Tropes associated with Leduc: |
| 96 | * TheCameo: Appears as a background character in the Lab 8 stage and in Peacock's story. He also shows up in Peacock's Origin Story in ''Skullgirls Mobile'', as part of the ASG squad sent in to rescue a band of refugees (including the crippled Patricia) from the Medici. |
| 97 | * CollaredByFashion: It covers his mouth. [[GoodScarsEvilScars And his scars]]. |
| 98 | * MeaningfulName: Named after the paralysis livestock can experience from stun bolts. |
| 99 | * PrettyBoy: Which was one of the reasons [[WordOfGod Mike Z hated him]], until he started brainstorming a playstyle for him. |
| 100 | * ShockAndAwe: His proposed power-set would largely involve this. |

| 107 | |
| 108 | A member and subject of Anti-Skullgirl Lab 8. Disfigured during the war, she agreed to be grafted with the Synthetic Parasite, Salamander Shell. She is an old-generation ASG operative along with Big Band and the two have been involved in two previous Skullgirl events. Despite her horrific appearance, she is a kind motherly figure to the younger members of Lab 8. |
| 109 | ---- |
| 110 | !!Tropes associated with Ileum: |
| 111 | * AscendedExtra: Appears as a background character in the Lab 8 stage. |
| 112 | * BadPowersGoodPeople: She spews forth acid, is ''horrifying'' to look at, and is a total sweetheart. |
| 113 | * BodyHorror: She appears to be a humanoid made entirely out of intestines. Supplementary materials say the first host of a synthetic parasite was a burns victim, and now wears a mask, and other materials confirm that Ileum was the first of the ASG operatives to recieve one, implying that she was ''burnt alive'' during the war. FridgeHorror sets in when you realize that her current state is an ''improvement.'' |
| 114 | * LovecraftianSuperpower: A particularly extreme example: Able to squeeze into tiny spaces, able to sprout small drills for use in attacks, can spit highly-corrosive poison at enemies, and the previously mentioned "looks like a humanoid made entirely out of intestines." |
| 115 | * MeaningfulName: The Ileum is a part of the small intestine, and as mentioned before, she appears to be completely made of them. |
| 116 | * PoisonIsCorrosive: Her powers allow her to spit or spray a highly toxic substance that is also able to melt living flesh into a puddle. |
| 117 | * ScarsAreForever: She was horribly disfigured in the Grand War. |
| 118 | * TeamMom: Quite contrary to her appearance. |
| 119 | * TechnicalPacifist: She avoids fighting due to the nature of her powers. |
| 120 | * WhiteMaskOfDoom: Wears one to hide her real face. |

| 124 | !!Brain Drain |
| 125 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KaijiTang (English) / ? (Japanese) |
| 126 | [[quoteright:175:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brain_drain.png]] |
| 127 | |
| 128 | The psychic second-in-command of Anti-Skullgirl Lab Zero. Along with Valentine, he was responsible for turning Carol into Painwheel and now exerts mental control over her to keep her stable. He is also the creator of Robo-Fortune and the (non-canon) Fukua. |
| 129 | ---- |
| 130 | !!Tropes associated with Brain Drain: |
| 131 | * ActuallyADoomBot: [[spoiler:As it turns out, that robotic body Brain Drain's been using this whole time? It's a prototype; the only actual important part is the head. [[VillainExitStageLeft He's more than willing to leave his body behind once he's forced into a corner by Black Dahlia...]][[ActionBomb and leave her a little gift while he's at it.]]]] |
| 132 | * BadassLongcoat: He wears a thick padded military coat which resembles a bomber jacket but is as long as a trench coat. |
| 133 | * BadBoss: It's implied he practices YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness. Then there's the fact that he subjects Painwheel to nonstop MindRape to keep her in line, and brainwashes Valentine in her scrapped ending as a punishment for her insubordination. |
| 134 | * BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: His mental manipulation forces Painwheel into one in her story mode. The opponent is another Painwheel which has the transparency and colour scheme of Brain Drain's AstralProjection. |
| 135 | * BoomerangBigot: He considers "organics" inferior despite having been human himself at one point. |
| 136 | * BrainInAJar[=/=]WeCanRebuildHim: His body is an armour-like robotic shell with a glass skullcap that shows off his brain. [[spoiler:Though, as it turns out, [[ActuallyADoomBot the body is very expendable.]]]] |
| 137 | * ChekhovsGunman: Appears in Painwheel's story and intro animation. |
| 138 | * ADayInTheLimelight: He receives a lot more screentime in Robo-Fortune's story than he does anywhere else. |
| 139 | * EvilSoundsDeep: His voice is low and normally smooth. Sometimes he slows down or moans out his words in a manner similar to [[VideoGame/HalfLife G-Man.]] |
| 140 | * GreaterScopeVillain: He's responsible for turning Carol into Painwheel, creating [[EvilDoppelganger Fukua]] and [[AIIsACrapshoot Robo-Fortune]], and he's [[DeadlyDoctor Valentine's]] boss (well, [[DoubleReverseQuadrupleAgent one of them anyway]]). [[spoiler:He's even played a part in Black Dahlia's origin story!]] He's also never directly confronted by any of the main cast and it's likely that less than half of them are even aware of his existence. [[spoiler:Black Dahlia does manage to get him at gunpoint, but he escapes with minimal losses. By the end of Marie's Story mode in TheStinger, he eventually learns what Theonite actually is thanks to Valentine's help and uses his new knowledge to create the "Chrome Heart", which he plans on using to get rid of The Trinity once and for all.]] |
| 141 | * HiddenDepths: Robo-Fortune's story shows he has a mecha figurine on his desk. |
| 142 | * {{Hypocrite}}: He was the one who turned Painwheel into what she is now, but he immediately dismisses Valentine's idea of using Ms Fortune for biological weapons research, saying a robot would get the job done better. |
| 143 | * ImmortalitySeeker: [[spoiler:Mentions off-handedly that he has "more than a passing interest in life extension" in Black Dahlia's story mode, which is how he caught on to Lorenzo's suspiciously long lifespan.]] |
| 144 | * LaughablyEvil: Robo-Fortune's story paints him as such, showing him having a far more casual and goofy personality then one would expect. Granted, given [[BizarroEpisode the nature of said story]], it's safe to to assume that he's not typically like that. |
| 145 | * LaserGuidedKarma: He finally gets some much deserved comeuppance in Umbrella's story, when [[spoiler: the resonance between Umbrella's and Painwheel's Skullgirl blood winds up forcefully breaking his psychic hold on the latter. And judging by his facial expression and scream, this was quite painful for him.]] |
| 146 | * MrFanservice: [[spoiler:Bizarrely enough, his secondary body seen in TheStinger of Marie's story mode appears to be rather macho, with his sculpted abs slightly exposed.]] |
| 147 | * MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:Seems to regard his part in Black Dahlia's creation as this, bitterly stating that he should have left her there to die.]] |
| 148 | * OmnicidalManiac: While it was cut from the final release, Valentine's alternate ending paints him as this. [[spoiler: Robo-Fortune's ending has him using the Skull Heart to create and army of giant Robo-Fortunes which apparently destroy everything but the rejected DLC characters, all but confirming that he still maintains this belief.]] |
| 149 | * PowerEchoes: His voice has a slight reverb. |
| 150 | * PowerFloats: He seems to do this instead of walking. |
| 151 | * PsychicPowers: Has a suite of these at his disposal. |
| 152 | ** AstralProjection: He uses it to communicate with others and strengthen Painwheel's brainwashing. |
| 153 | ** MindControl: Does it to Painwheel, and in the cut alt endings to Valentine. |
| 154 | * RageAgainstTheHeavens: [[spoiler: In TheStinger of Marie's story, he turns his attention to [[BigBadEnsemble the Trinity]] with the intent to combat them directly. If it weren't for the fact that this is [[GreaterScopeVillain Brain]] [[BadBoss Drain,]] you might actually root for him.]] |
| 155 | * TheStoic: Rarely if ever loses control of his emotions... |
| 156 | ** NotSoStoic: ...Except in Robo-Fortune's story, where [[spoiler: Valentine's letter suggesting the use of Ms. Fortune as a Bioweapon causes him to ''flip his shit'' and build Robo-Fortune out of spite.]] |
| 157 | * TranshumanTreachery: Replaced all of his body parts except for his brain and is the most amoral of the anti-Skullgirls scientists. |
| 158 | -->'''Brain Drain:''' Never send an organic to do a machine's job.\ |
| 159 | '''Robo-Fortune:''' [[AC:BEEP BOOP. Your brain is organic and has the most important job of-]]\ |
| 160 | '''Brain Drain:''' Moving on. |
| 161 | * TheUnfettered: His only focus is taking down the Skullgirl, morality be damned. In Big Band's story, he fully advocates attacking Marie while she's holding a building up and unable to defend herself, despite knowing that her dropping that building would kill hundreds of people. When Big Band objects on these very grounds, he orders Painwheel to go on the attack anyways and deal with Big Band too if he tries to intervene. |
| 162 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:Long before the events of Skullgirls, Brain Drain found a nearly dead ASG agent and brought her back to the labs because he saw potential in her, leading to her becoming one of the first ASG weapons. That woman would later become ''Black Dahlia.'']] |
| 163 | * VillainExitStageLeft: [[spoiler:He's forced into abandoning his current body in Black Dahlia's story when the titular assassin has him at her mercy]]. |
| 164 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Assuming the cut story content [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist of him having ill-intentions for the world]] doesn't make it back in, he's this with an emphasis on ''extremist''. He's working to fight against the threat of the Skullgirl, but his means are horrifying and unethical. |
| 165 | ** As of the end of Marie's story mode, this goes up to [[spoiler: ''making his own damn'' ''[[ArtifactOfDoom Skull Heart]]'' for the sake of humanity. Of course, by that point, he has his eyes on [[RageAgainstTheHeavens other targets...]]]] |
| 166 | * WildTake: Not used in the main game proper, but ''Skullgirls Mobile'' gives him a dialogue portrait for when he’s surprised and shouting, where he drops that menacing glare to [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/889/886/c42.jpg open his optics wide open, hangs his jaw agape and his brain-visor starts glowing like a police siren.]] |
| 167 | ** He makes this face in the game proper during Robo-Fortune's story when she brings back the Skullheart, and Umbrella's story when [[spoiler: his psychic link to Carol gets forcefully broken]]. |

| 174 | |
| 175 | An acrobat in the Cirque des Cartes and Cerebella's roommate. She represents the Ace cards in the circus's playing card theme, and fights using her acrobatic style and the ghost birds on her head. |
| 176 | ---- |
| 177 | !!Tropes associated with Feng: |
| 178 | * ACupAngst: Briefly [[ImpliedTrope implied]] in one panel of Cerebella's story mode. Feng is seen sweating and look none-too-amused when Cerebella's [[BuxomBeautyStandard much larger chest]] is seen [[http://images.wikia.com/skullgirls/images/b/b3/Cerebella_and_Feng.PNG in close proximity to Feng's own]]. In the WorldOfBuxom that is ''Skullgirls'', Feng stands out due to her ''lack'' of assets. |
| 179 | * AnimeChineseGirl: Gives this impression. She is from the local {{Wutai}}[=-=]analogue, wears a modified UsefulNotes/{{qipao}}, and her ColorMotif implies the [[DragonsUpTheYinYang yin-yang]] symbol. Unlike [[BodyHorror Painwheel]], she's a rather cute example. |
| 180 | * {{Bifauxnen}}: Her short hair and flat chest [[ViewerGenderConfusion made many initially mistake her]] for a [[{{Bishonen}} feminine-looking guy]]. |
| 181 | * BoyishShortHair: She has very short hair, emphasizing her boyish appearance. |
| 182 | * ChekhovsGunman: Has a speaking role in Cerebella's story. |
| 183 | * ColorMotif: Black and white, to symbolize the yin-yang symbol. Her hair is mostly black with the front being white, and as detailed below, her birds also follow the same motif. |
| 184 | * DragonsUpTheYinYang: The yin-yang one, at least, as part of her ColorMotif. Her hair is black and white, and her birds are black with a single (very long) white feather and white eyes and white with a single (very long) black feather and black eyes, so presumably they're also meant imply the symbol. |
| 185 | * EpicFail: How did she gain her ghost birds? Well, she rearranged the furniture in her apartment, only for the fung shui to be so bad that it opened a portal to the afterlife. |
| 186 | * GravityMaster: In the character mechanic demo showing off Feng's potential gameplay, she could place her birds on the screen, and would affect airborne characters' jump arcs. |
| 187 | * {{Head Pet}}s: Usually seen with her birds in her hair. [[JustifiedTrope This makes more sense than most examples of this trope]], though, since the birds are ''very'' tiny. |
| 188 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: with Cerebella, to the point where they're roommates. |
| 189 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: Concepts include using her birds as projectile attacks. |
| 190 | * JustifiedCriminal: She serves the Mafia to get money for her family. |
| 191 | * LoyalAnimalCompanion: Her demonic birds are always perched on her head. |
| 192 | * MagicMisfire: How she got her birds. Natives of the Dragon Kingdom are known to practice geomancy, but Feng is grotesquely unskilled in that particular area -- so much so that when she rearranged the furniture in her apartment, the resulting feng shui was so bad that it ''opened a portal to the afterlife''. |
| 193 | * PunnyName: Feng, as in feng shui, as in the MagicMisfire that caused her to get her birds. |
| 194 | * TokenGoodTeammate: Along with Cerebella [[spoiler:and Filia]], she is this for the Medici mafia. |

| 206 | * CoatHatMask: His standard design. |
| 207 | * EffeminateMisogynisticGuy: According to sources. |
| 208 | * {{Expy}}: Of Vega/[[DubNameChange Balrog]]/that guy with a mask and claw from ''Franchise/StreetFighter''. |
| 209 | * ForcedTransformation: He turns ''souls'' into ''instruments.'' |
| 210 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: Wields a living violin. |

| 222 | |
| 223 | A strongman in the Cirque de Cartes, he is based on the heart suit of cards. A good-natured gentle giant. |
| 224 | ---- |
| 225 | !!Tropes associated with Hubrecht: |
| 226 | * AmbiguouslyGay: Big, muscly, bears a heart motif, and attacks by hugging. |
| 227 | * AndCallHimGeorge: His fighting style is based off being rougher than he intends to be. For example, one of his grabs is a noogie. |
| 228 | * AscendedExtra: Appears in Cerebella's story. |
| 229 | * BadassNormal: No Living Weapons, no Parasites, no swallowed artifacts. Just muscles and playfulness. |
| 230 | * CompositeCharacter: A cross between Mr. Heart from ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' and Heart Aino from ''VideoGame/ArcanaHeart''. |
| 231 | * {{Expy}}: Given his build, his facial features/hair, and being AmbiguouslyGay, the parallels with [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Alex Armstrong]] cannot be a coincidence. |
| 232 | ** He also has parallels with [[VideoGame/ArcanaHeart Heart Aino]] (a RoseHairedSweetie [[TheDitz who's pretty dumb]]) and to a minor extent [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Mr. Heart]] (a GiantMook who's part of a QuirkyMiniBossSquad also themed after cards, with him symbolizing the Heart suit). |
| 233 | ** And of course there's also his obvious parallels to [[Literature/OfMiceAndMen Lenny]], as a dim-witted GentleGiant who only hurts people by accident. |
| 234 | * GentleGiant: Who DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength. |
| 235 | * IdiotHair: Got this too. |
| 236 | * ObliviouslyEvil: He has absolutely no idea that he works part-time as a mafia hitman. All he thinks he's doing is [[AndCallHimGeorge giving people hugs.]] |
| 237 | * RoseHairedSweetie: A rare male example. |

| 243 | |
| 244 | The domineering beast tamer at the Cirque des Cartes, she commands a wide range of creatures including several outlandish specimens. She derives no pleasure from her cruelty as it is simply in her cold nature to control others by any means necessary as she does indeed deeply care about her fellow performers. The troupe ultimately answers to Regina, not the ringleader. Her design is based on the Queen face cards. |
| 245 | ---- |
| 246 | !!Tropes associated with Regina: |
| 247 | * AscendedExtra: Appears in Cerebella's story. |
| 248 | * AssistCharacter: Her proposed play-style makes heavy use of both, with animals coming from off-screen to help her or standing beside her and attacking when commanded. It's also suggested that she commands them to attack in various ways while she fights alongside them and applies additional pressure. |
| 249 | * TheBeastmaster: To be expected from from the troupe's beast tamer. |
| 250 | * {{Bifauxnen}}: Though it's more ViewerGenderConfusion (despite her obviously feminine figure) than her actually looking masculine. |
| 251 | * ControlFreak: Her description paints her as being this way by nature, both towards the animals she trains and the circus members she leads. |
| 252 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: A riding crop and stool, to be exact. along with being TheBeastmaster. |
| 253 | * IronLady: It's noted she's the real head of the troupe. (Keep in mind that the devs, while offering Regina as a possibility, have ''not'' expressed any definite intentions of making the troupe's actual ''ringleader'' a playable character.) |
| 254 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As her description states: she's cold and controlling but she cares underneath it all. |
| 255 | * LadyOfWar: Certainly has the look of one, anyway. |
| 256 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Her face is less {{Animesque}} than the rest of the females in the cast. Probably because she's a bit older than most of them and would probably be more "beautiful" than "cute" at that age. |
| 257 | * RegalRinglets: As befitting her Queen motif. |
| 258 | * WhipOfDominance: She's a domineering beast tamer who wields a riding crop and is described as being pretty quick with it and being a ControlFreak. |

| 264 | |
| 265 | A magician in the Cirque des Cartes, she has the ability to store knives in her body without seemingly injuring herself. Not only are they rivals, Beatrix's bitter, jaded personality is a stark contrast to Cerebella's cheerfulness. Her design is based on the Club suit. |

| 277 | !!Ottomo (and Tom) |
| 278 | [[quoteright:272:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ottomo.png]] |
| 279 | |
| 280 | A member of the Medici Mafia family, Ottomo is Lorenzo's mechanical henchman and bodyguard. He's piloted by Tom, a tiny, foul-mouthed Dagonian engineer. Tom is an ex-member of Anti-Skullgirl Lab 4 and was a colleague of Stanley. Tom sold out to the Mafia and, before leaving, stole the M3 (Mighty Metal Man) unit from the lab. While Tom is a cigar-smoking, womanizing, ill-tempered drunkard when he's out of the suit (much to Lorenzo's annoyance), Ottomo is more refined. |
| 281 | ---- |
| 282 | !!Tropes associated with Ottomo: |
| 283 | * BattleButler: Kinda. |
| 284 | * BitCharacter: Appears as a background character in the Medici Tower stage. [[spoiler:Peacock is also seen with Ottomo's head in her ending]]. He appears in Filia's Origin in ''Skullgirls Mobile'' [[spoiler: being the one to brutally injure Filia and kill Samson's then-host, Dog, forcing the parasite to possess Filia to save her life.]] |
| 285 | * CigarChomper: Tom. |
| 286 | * DanceBattler: At the very least, he was proposed as having the moonwalk for his backward walking animation, and doing the Smooth Criminal lean for his pushblock. |
| 287 | * TheEngineer: Despite her tech being antiquated by his standards, he maintains Dhalia's weapons. |
| 288 | * FishPerson: He ''is'' a Dagonian. A post on [[WordOfGod Ahad's]] Tumblr mentions that he's a salamander, though it's unknown if that still stands, since salamanders hardly count as aquatic creatures. That said, his pink skin makes him look more like a naked mole rat than anything else. |
| 289 | * HyperspaceArsenal: Tom apparently has a ridiculous array of lethal weaponry crammed into his suit. |
| 290 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Ottomo's head is impaled and carried around on a knife by Avery in Peacock's ending. This fate could very well likely be Tom's as well if the cockpit was in Ottomo's head, though it’d be less like being impaled and closer to the Dagonian being cleaved right in half. |
| 291 | * MobileSuitHuman: Well, Mobile Suit Larger Dagonian, but the principle is the same. |

| 315 | ---- |
| 316 | !!Tropes associated with Scythana: |
| 317 | * BitCharacter: She was briefly mentioned on the Canopy Kingdom News during Parasoul's story mode, telling about her recent arrest. |
| 318 | * ChainedByFashion: She's still handcuffed after her escape. Justified, as her handcuffs are magic and cannot be broken. However, she can use them in battle to block, grab, and attack. |
| 319 | * {{Expy}}: Arguably of [[VideoGame/FinalFight Cody]], particularly his appearances in the ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' series from ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha Alpha 3]]'' onwards, with the prison suit and the handcuffs. |
| 320 | ** Also has much in common with [[VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia Regal Bryant]], as a convict wearing handcuffs that fights mainly with her feet. |
| 321 | ** She also seems to have inspiration from [[Franchise/TouhouProject Yuugi]]. |
| 322 | * ExtremityExtremist: Justified since her hands are still cuffed, she mostly uses her feet to fight instead. |
| 323 | * GrievousHarmWithABody: In team fights she'd have the ability to pick up fallen enemies and teammates to use as weapons. In solo matches, a substitute would be provided. |
| 324 | * HalfHumanHybrid: Gigan on her mother's side. |
| 325 | * HornedHumanoid: One long black and white striped horn on her right. |
| 326 | * InstitutionalApparel: Prison Stripes. Matches her horn. |

| 337 | * BitCharacter: Appears in Parasoul's story and the prequel webcomic. |
| 338 | * ButchLesbian: A tomboyish-looking woman with a classic manual labour profession; the webcomic makes it unambiguous that she's in a relationship with [[CommunicationsOfficer Molly]]. |
| 339 | * DeadlyRotaryFan: A possible proposed gameplay mechanic was to have her use propeller blades. |
| 340 | * TheEngineer: Her daytime job. Her character art has her brandishing an over-sized rivet gun. |
| 341 | * {{Expy}}: Of Rosie the Riveter. Ironically, Rosie is her REAL name, with Roxie just a nickname. |
| 342 | * SentryGun: One of her proposed gameplay mechanics. |
| 343 | * SatelliteCharacter: To Parasoul, currently. |

| 351 | A member of the Black Egrets, originally from Anti-Skullgirls Lab 3. |
| 352 | ---- |
| 353 | !!Tropes associated with Panzerfaust: |
| 354 | * BitCharacter: Appears in Parasoul's story. |
| 355 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: In the past (during King Franz's reign), he was [[TheLudovicoTechnique forced to watch the 'Canopy Indoctrination Film' for many hours]] during [[BodyHorror numerous surgeries]]. |
| 356 | -->'''Parasoul:''' ''[horrified]'' Wait... they put you through ''what''!? |
| 357 | -->'''Panzerfaust:''' Is all in the past. Was also very competent film-making worth of repeat viewing. A+++. Would watch again. |
| 358 | * {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear Potemkin]], being a massive and incredibly loyal {{Gas Mask Mook|s}} who hits like a truck and can shoot projectiles from his fists. |
| 359 | * GrapplingHookPistol: He can fire a grappling hook from his tank arm as seen in the [[Webcomic/{{Skullgirls}} Webtoon comic]]. |
| 360 | * AnImmigrantsTale: Panzerfaust admits in 'Skullgirls Mobile' that he's a naturalized citizen (And it should be noted that in said game he's fought against two Skullgirls in the past and has joined Parasoul's forces in the modern day). |
| 361 | * LowClearance: Due to his size, he has broken a ceiling fan and knocked his flexible helmet crest against a door frame in the [[Webcomic/{{Skullgirls}} Webtoon comic]]. |
| 362 | * MeaningfulName: German for "tank fist." Also an anti-tank weapon in World War II. |
| 363 | * TheRightHandOfDoom: His right hand is a ''tank.'' As in a ''literal'' tank, with treads, cannon and everything. |
| 364 | * SuperSoldier: What else can you call a soldier with a ''tank'' for an arm? |
| 365 | * TopHeavyGuy: ''Jesus''. His legs might as well be sticks! |

| 372 | |
| 373 | An elite member of the Black Egrets and [[AlmightyJanitor Umbrella's babysitter]]. |
| 374 | ---- |
| 375 | !!Tropes associated with Adam: |
| 376 | * AlmightyJanitor: Despite being a BadassNormal, his skills are usually relegated to fetching ice cream for Umbrella. |
| 377 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: His Polish last name and grey-colored eyes have led many to conclude he's Slavic, or at least the Skullverse equivalent. |
| 378 | * BitCharacter: Appears in Parasoul and Umbrella's stories. |
| 379 | * BadassNormal: A totally normal person who's highly trained. |
| 380 | ** OvershadowedByAwesome: He's a highly competent, elite soldier, but because he has no outstanding skills aside from being good with kids, he's relegated to babysitting Umbrella. |
| 381 | * ButtMonkey: Not only does he have his status as AlmightyJanitor, but the webcomic shows that he can be often picked on by the other Egrets, suffering a CurbStompBattle from Molly, and forced to endure an even bigger one from Panzerfaust. |
| 382 | * TheCameo: His first appearance in actual gameplay is in the [[BallroomBlitz Glass Canopy]] stage, seen in the background dancing with Umbrella. |
| 383 | * EliteMook: In his proposed battle style, the first two thirds of his health would be represented by faceless Black Egrets with Adam himself taking to the stage for the last 33%. He could have attacks that the other two would not. |
| 384 | * EyepatchAfterTimeSkip: [[spoiler:In Robo-Fortune's ending, coupled with a beard.]] |
| 385 | * TheGenericGuy: Compared to the other, more fantastical characters, Adam stands out by ''not'' standing out. He actually gained [[EnsembleDarkhorse a surprising amount of popularity]] for it. |
| 386 | * HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: The only fully uniformed Black Egret seen without a helmet. |
| 387 | * HyperspaceArsenal: His concepts include fighting with a large amount of weapons. [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 Chris Redfield]] was one of the inspirations for his playstyle, after all. |

| 396 | ---- |
| 397 | !!Tropes associated with Molly: |
| 398 | * AscendedExtra: Appears in Parasoul's story, though she ends up [[DemotedToExtra only making a cameo appearance in Umbrella's story.]] She has a lot more significance in the webcomic. |
| 399 | * LipstickLesbian: Of the not-exceptionally-girly variety. She's certainly femme compared to [[ButchLesbian her girlfriend,]] [[WrenchWench Roxie]]; she fantasises in the webcomic about using Vice Versa to carry the latter around effortlessly in one big, powerful hand [[HumanPackMule alongside a veritable mountain of gifts]]. |
| 400 | * MiniMecha[=/=]SpiderTank: She pilots one shaped like a cross between a rotary telephone and a [[Manga/GhostInTheShell Fuchikoma]]. |

| 410 | ---- |
| 411 | !!Tropes associated with Isaac: |
| 412 | * AdventurerArchaeologist: By necessity. He discovered something during the same dig that uncovered the Theonite he uses to time travel that has resulted in him being hunted. |
| 413 | * TheCoatsAreOff: His proposed intro would have him disappearing, then reappearing sans coat. At the end of the match, he'll appear from the past to hand his coat to his victorious self or drape it over his defeated self. |
| 414 | * EinsteinHair: Sports on top of his beard. |
| 415 | * HeKnowsTooMuch: He discovered ''something'' during a dig that someone ''seriously'' wants to cover up. |
| 416 | * InterfaceScrew: One of his theoretical super moves would temporarily speed up the round timer, making it easy for him to win via time-over. |
| 417 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Based physically on fashion designer Kevin Stewart, AKA "[[MemeticMutation Professor Badass]]." |
| 418 | * TimeParadox: If his future self damages his opponent, but is prevented from performing the time jump later on, his opponent retroactively gets the health back, since the damage technically never happened. |
| 419 | * TrickedOutGloves: Uses one to have the ability to TimeTravel. |
| 420 | * UnexpectedCharacter: All the other potential characters previously appeared in the game, were mentioned in the game before, or were AllThereInTheManual; Isaac was included in the prospective characters list because of Mike Z.'s enthusiasm for his playstyle. |
| 421 | ** Because of this, the reveal of Isaac's appearance caused a bit of SuddenlyEthnicity. Quite a few people thought he would be white. |
| 422 | ** [[spoiler:He finally logs an in-game appearance carrying Umbrella to safety (and presumably another time period) in Robo-Fortune's ending.]] |

| 430 | A darker version of Samson who has seized control of Filia's body. |
| 431 | ---- |
| 432 | !!Tropes associated with this Samson: |
| 433 | * AlternateSelf: He's an evil, monstrous version of Samson, though his origins are unclear. |
| 434 | * AlternateTimeline: A suggested origin of his existence is that Aeon retrieved him from a lost timeline. The other is that it's a trick by Double. |
| 435 | * DarkerAndEdgier: While the normal Samson is a bit rough and sometimes flings Filia about while fighting he has concern for her well-being. This one has his Filia bound up using some unspecified horrible method. |
| 436 | * DivergentCharacterEvolution: Samson was developed from an early concept for Filia, wherein she was merely a MeatPuppet for the Parasite, who had eaten her body from the inside out and was manipulating her corpse. This concept was discarded in favor of the current version of Filia, but revived as potential DLC. |
| 437 | * KillerRabbit: One of the deadly and terrible beasts he is capable of incorporating the form of... is wombats. |
| 438 | * LovecraftianSuperpower: Not only is Samson capable of unleashing more powerful versions of Filia's attacks, but he can freely shift himself into a variety of monstrous forms. |
| 439 | * MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: He has a large mouth studded with fangs, though unlike his playable self [[FangsAreEvil they are evocative of his evil nature]]. |
| 440 | * MovesetClone: Being basically the same being, he uses larger versions of Filia/Samson's attacks but with a more brutal, feral approach. |
| 441 | * OneWingedAngel: His design comes from an earlier gameplay concept where all the cast had monstrous super modes. |
| 442 | * PrimalStance: His artwork has him standing on all fours. |
| 443 | * PuppeteerParasite: Samson takes over Filia using "the vilest of methods." |
| 444 | * ToServeMan: In the early drafts, Samson ate Filia's parents and then consumed her body from the inside out. His brief bio only states that he used the "vilest method" to seize control of Filia's body. |
| 445 | * SpikesOfVillainy: His arms and head have large spikes jutting from them in his default form. |
| 446 | * TopHeavyGuy: His spindly lower limbs make Panzerfaust's legs look sturdy. |

| 456 | |
| 457 | The leader of the Medici. He held the power of the Life Gem before it was stolen from him. |
| 458 | ---- |
| 459 | * BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Desperate for revenge, Lorenzo gives Black Dahlia full reign to do whatever she deems necessary to kill the Skullgirl and retrieve the Life Gem, [[EvilisPetty encouraging her to raise hell just to further cement how important the Medici are to the city]]. [[spoiler:Unfortunately for him, while she does succeed in her objectives, this also reignites Black Dahlia's bloodlust, resulting in the executions of Vitale and Eliza, before Lorenzo is killed by Black Dahlia herself after realizing she can use the Skull Heart to get what he could never give her. With Black Dahlia roaming free in another dimension and the city still destroyed from Marie's rampage, Lorenzo's empire is beyond salvation]]. |
| 460 | * BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler:Lorenzo finally meets his end in Black Dahlia's story mode when she shoots him in the head after getting annoyed with him ordering her around.]] |
| 461 | * DarkLordOnLifeSupport: Black Dahlia's story shows that without the Life Gem, Lorenzo needs constant care from a nurse to get by. |
| 462 | * EvilOldFolks: He's still the wicked head of the Medici in the present day, though it's {{deconstructed|trope}} since his highly advanced age even with the Life Gem has rendered him little more than a figurehead while Vitale's the one handling all the logistics of running a criminal empire. |
| 463 | * FauxAffablyEvil: As a VillainWithGoodPublicity, Lorenzo took great pains to present himself--at least in public--as a friend to the common people of New Meridian. Once the Life Gem was stolen, his mask of affability was cast aside and the ruthless monster underneath was revealed. In the webcomic, Lorenzo is outraged when Marie razes the suburb of Maplecrest in the webcomic, snapping at Vitale that she isn't just killing the Medici Mafia's soldiers but their entire families--though he's upset about the loss of manpower rendering his organization vulnerable rather than the deaths of innocents--and retaliates by ordering the abduction of the River King's daughters. |
| 464 | * GreaterScopeVillain: As the head of the Medici Mafia, he is responsible for the suffering inflicted on Peacock and Marie as well as being the ArchEnemy to Parasoul and the one who spearheaded the Contiellos' massacre (though he was being [[UnwittingPawn played by Double]] in that last case). He also has Minette and the River King's other daughters abducted as part of an as-yet unknown scheme. |
| 465 | * KarmaHoudiniWarranty: After years of secretly controlling New Meridian and all of the suffering on it's people, Lorenzo finally meets his definite end[[note]]His prospects aren't looking too good in Peacock's and Eliza's endings either given they're both gunning for his head, but at least he's still alive and someone else (Black Dahila and Marie) are about to fight them first[[/note]] in Black Dahlia's story mode [[spoiler:when she shoots him in the head herself.]] |
| 466 | * NoImmortalInertia: After the Life Gem was taken from him by Ms. Fortune, he quickly deteriorated from a middle-aged and toned man to a weak, near-senile geriatric with barely a tooth left in his mouth. |
| 467 | * OlderThanTheyLook: He is Vitale's father, yet the power of the [[ImmortalityInducer Life Gem]] makes him look more like Vitale's son. After the Fishbone Gang stole the Gem from him as shown in the Webtoon, he quickly regressed into a decrepit old man more in line with his actual age. |
| 468 | * SmugSnake: When Parasoul attempts to arrest him for human trafficking, he initially threatens to have his "headhunter" Black Dahlia kill her before deciding to simply sue the Renoir royal family for slander using the corrupt courts his son Vitale has bought out. |
| 469 | * SuperToughness: The Life Gem's power allows him to take a direct hit from Marie's Skullgirl fire with little more than a [[ClothingDamage burnt suit]] to show for it. |
| 470 | * VillainWithGoodPublicity: Lorenzo laughs at Parasoul's attempt to arrest him, pointing out how the public views him in high regard and that arresting him would cause an uproar the already-disliked Renoirs would not be equipped to handle. Even King Franz, once an infamous BloodKnight, cautions his daughter to avoid stirring up trouble with Lorenzo without an ironclad case, since doing so would risk a civil war. |

| 478 | The son and heir apparent of [[TheDon Lorenzo]] Medici, and the backer of the Cirque de Cartes. Cerebella sees him as a father figure. |

| 480 | !!Tropes associated with Vitale: |
| 481 | * CainAndAbel: The Cain to [[spoiler:Filia's father's Abel. He even has him killed.]] |
| 482 | * EvilUncle: An evil ManipulativeBastard who's the uncle of one of the main characters. [[spoiler:Namely, Filia.]] |
| 483 | * FourEyesZeroSoul: He ''is'' a villain with glasses. |
| 484 | * GreaterScopeVillain: Vitale, like his father, is responsible for much of the suffering that goes on behind-the-scenes, and plays a key role in Celebella's, Ms. Fortune's, and Filia's stories, but is never directly fought. |
| 485 | * InadequateInheritor: Lorenzo rants in Black Dahlia's story mode that he views Vitale as this, claiming he's a "vulture" running a carnival of killers and not fit to run the Medici Empire. [[spoiler:Realizing that Lorenzo views him as this, despite him having to take the role of running their criminal empire while the Life Gem is gone, prompts Vitale in said story mode to scheme against Lorenzo.]] |
| 486 | * KavorkaMan: Admittedly, his relationship with Cerebella isn't supposed to be romantic, but still, it's surprising to see how such an attractive girl's loyalty can be won by someone who is so plain-looking (being square-faced and slightly overweight) and a ruthless mobster to boot. |
| 487 | * KarmaHoudiniWarranty: After years of helping his father, killing his own brother, and manipulating Cerebella emotionally, he finally meets his end in Black Dahlia's story mode [[spoiler:while [[VillianWantsMercy begging her to spare him]] and promises to give her anything she wants. Fittingly, he's killed by getting shot in the head just like how he killed his brother Marcus.]] |
| 488 | * LesserOfTwoEvils: Called as such by Black Dahlia in her Story Mode; while and his father are both ruthless mobsters, Vitale is more pragmatic, as shown in ''Mobile'''s main story mode when he considers negotiating with Parasoul's party when they can't be driven out. |
| 489 | * ManipulativeBastard: Manipulates Cerebella using her love and loyalty to him. |
| 490 | * TheMafia: Takes over the Medici family after his father Lorenzo mysteriously vanishes from public life. [[spoiler:During Black Dahlia's story mode, he realizes that Lorenzo never intends to let him take over the family business and [[TheStarscream plans to secretly overthrow him]]. Unfortunately, Black Dahlia decides to kill him after killing Eliza.]] |
| 491 | * TheStarscream: While he is loyal to his father in most of the story modes in hopes of earning his approval and even kills his brother under the assumption he betrayed the Medici family, [[spoiler:in Black Dahlia's story mode he realizes that Lorenzo intends to use the Life Gem to rule New Meridian's criminal empire forever and decides to overthrow his father with Eliza's support]]. |
| 492 | * ThemeNaming: '''Vital'''e of the '''Medic'''i family, owner of the '''Life''' Gem. In the webcomic he even notes how ironic it is that his name means "life" while Lorenzo was the one with borderline immortality. |
| 493 | * WellDoneSonGuy: Everything Vitale does is in the hopes of earning approval and recognition from his father, something Black Dahlia mocks him for in her story mode, and even Lorenzo sneers that he's a vulture. |

| 505 | * CasanovaWannabe: Flirts with Filia and Minette with disastrous results. |
| 506 | * {{Ephebophile}}: Hits on (and sexually harasses) the sixteen-year-old Filia at the beginning of her storyline, and (somewhat more innocently, at least) flirts with the [[VagueAge presumably teenaged]] Minette at the beginning of Ms. Fortune's. In the background of the River King Casino stage, he can be seen stalking Minette. |
| 507 | * {{Mook}}: Is a thug employed by Vitale. |
| 508 | * MuggingTheMonster: Is on the receiving end of this twice: once when he tried to hit on Filia at the start of her story mode ([[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend and pissed off Samson for laying hands on his host]]), and again at the start of Ms. Fortune's story mode, where he and Lawrence tried to kidnap Minette, only for Ms. Fortune to beat both of them up. |

| 550 | * HeadbuttingHeroes: Valentine and Christmas often bickered. |
| 551 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: Easter fought with body bags, and Patty with an IV stand. The others had somewhat more conventional medic-themed weapons; Christmas used scalpels, Valentine used a bonesaw, and Hallow used poison syringes. |

After giving birth to Umbrella, Nancy then became a Skullgirl so powerful that all the nations had to work together to defeat her. |
| 563 | ---- |
| 564 | !!Tropes associated with Nancy: |
| 565 | * DelayedReaction: Instead of becoming the Skullgirl instantly, her transformation was delayed long enough to give birth to Umbrella. |
| 566 | * {{Foil}}: Compared to her BloodKnight husband, all Nancy wanted was peace. Sadly, Franz's warmongering made her desperate enough to wish on the Skull Heart. |
| 567 | * GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: She was originally TheHighQueen, but then she made a wish on the Skull Heart and it was all downhill from there. |
| 568 | * MissingMom: Due to being the Skullgirl, she had to be killed to save the world, and thus is absent from her daughters' lives. |
| 569 | * PredecessorVillain: The Skullgirl before Marie. |
| 570 | * UnwittingPawn: Like every other Skullgirl, her innocent desire was manipulated by Double to use the Skull Heart and become a Skullgirl. |
| 571 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Her wish was for peace, which the Skull Heart twisted by making her a monster that the other nations had to ally to destroy her. |

| 585 | * HeroicSacrifice: Transferring Leviathan to Squigly. [[spoiler:Roberto and Squigly were both killed by the Medici and revived by Selene's wish on the Skull Heart.

The stranger was actually Double, who had told the Medici family that the Contiellos had possessed the Heart. The Medici family crashed the party and began killing the Contiello family, including Squigly. Surviving the initial assault, Selene wished on the Skull Heart to bring her family back to life and became the Skullgirl. |
| 595 | ---- |

| 612 | * DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: They are dead in the main game, but It's clear from Filia's Origin in ''Skullgirls Mobile'' that they were loving parents to Filia. |
| 613 | * NotWhatItLooksLike: [[spoiler: Being spared from Marie's wrath (And then trying to skip town) led to Vitale assuming that they had betrayed the Family, leading to their death.]] |
| 614 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: When Samson reveals that the dog Filia adopted had a parasite, Marcus takes it in stride, especially since Samson helped fight off the Skullgirl. |

| 625 | ------ |
| 626 | * BraidsOfAction: Wore her hair in two massive braids. |
| 627 | * BloodIsTheNewBlack: The hem of her dress is all bloody. |
| 628 | * ChildrenAreInnocent: Must've believed this, since her wish was that Annie would never be sullied by the CrapsackWorld of adulthood. Unfortunately, even if Annie didn't grow up ''physically'', she did grow old ''mentally'', and by the time of the present has become jaded and cynical. |
| 629 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: Prior to becoming the Skullgirl, she seems to have been an ordinary peasant woman. |

| 667 | * BrokenPedestal: She really believes in the optimistic Annie she sees on the show, and seeing Annie rudely blow off Peacock and Beowulf seriously gets to her. |
| 668 | * MeaningfulName: Aileen appropriately means “light”. This is a hint of the way Aileen facilitates Annie’s character development. |
| 669 | * MoralityChain: Annie acknowledges that Aileen helped her to remember why she fights the Skullgirl and helps people, helping knock her out of the cynicism she's been wallowing in of late. When Aileen is [[spoiler:recruited to be Annie's next "life-actress"]], Sagan notes that she'll keep Annie honest. |

| 704 | |
| 705 | A [[BloodKnight ruthless king]] in his original life, King Franz is the former king of the Canopy Kingdom, husband to Queen Nancy, and father to both Parasoul and Umbrella. He was known for achieving growth for his kingdom through war campaigns, and once sabotaging a peace talk in order to launch an attack on his enemies. He founded the Anti-Skullgirl Labs to combat the Skullgirl, only to decommission them when his wife transformed into one. Presumed deceased after a battle to stop the Skullgirl, in truth he lives in self-imposed solitude, and only a select few know of his continued survival. It isn't until near the end of the Webcomic's first season that he reveals his survival to the entire Kingdom in order to address the new Skullgirl. |
| 706 | |
| 707 | ---- |
| 708 | * ZeroPercentApprovalRating: It's shown that some people of the Canopy Kingdom aren't very fond of him due to [[BloodKnight certain actions]] he took [[GreatOffscreenWar while he was still 'alive.']] |
| 709 | -->'''Cerebella, to [[spoiler:Umbrella]]:''' So your parents meant to do good, huh? [[AMillionIsAStatistic Too bad that's not what they DID.]] |
| 710 | * TheAtoner: Umbrella's story mode, the Mobile spinoff, and the webcomic show he's changed after the last seven years of self-imposed exile, being ashamed of many of the things he did even if he believed they were for the good of the kingdom, and he wants his daughters to be better than he was--even chiding Parasoul for making some of the same kinds of hotheaded mistakes he had. |
| 711 | * BloodKnight: The guy was infamous for how ready he was to engage in warfare, even sabotaging peace talks because he'd rather just attack his enemies. |
| 712 | * EvilParentsWantGoodKids: He might've been a warmongerer, but there doesn't seem to be any indication that he wanted his daughters to follow in his footsteps. In the webcomic he chides Parasoul for risking a civil war by rushing in and arresting Lorenzo Medici, and at the end of Umbrella's story mode he expresses pride in Parasoul maturing into a much wiser and more peaceful ruler. |
| 713 | * OffWithHisHead: During Parasoul's backstory in Mobile, the last scene shown is Franz as he is about to kill queen Nancy with her in turn using Todd to seemingly decapitate him. By the present day, his head is gone and has now has been replaced with an ethereal flame. When he films a broadcast throughout the Canopy Kingdom to address the recent Skullgirl in the Webcomic, he conceals his head using an Egret helmet in order to keep his decapitation a secret. |
| 714 | * ParasolOfPain: During his life, he wielded his own [[LivingWeapon living weapon]] named Eroberung.[[note]][[MeaningfulName The word Eroberung roughly translates to 'conquest' in German.]][[/note]] |
| 715 | * UnexplainedRecovery: The last time the public knew he was alive was during the war against queen Nancy with Franz decapitated in the process of dealing the killing blow to his wife. After this, he has an ethereal flame in the place where his head used to be and hides his survival from most of the kingdom until Marie becomes the Skullgirl and addresses them through a broadcast in the Webcomic, albeit while wearing a helmet to hide his decapitation from the public. The woman filming the broadcast even lampshades this by asking one of the soldiers about how he died during the war. [[spoiler:The ending of Marie's story mode when she is addressing everyone who died from the Skull Heart includes King Franz with the flame on his head, heavily implying that he may actually be an undead like Squigly now with his wife's living weapon being the only thing keeping him alive.]] |
| 716 | * WasOnceAMan: Used to be a human until his confrontation with Queen Nancy (Whether it was from Queen Nancy's power as a Skullgirl, her living weapon Todd's ability or a combination of the two is unknown). [[NonHumanHead He now has an ethereal flame where his head used to be.]] |

| 741 | * AscendedExtra: Juju was planned to become a fully playable character, rather than just a name, before being struck from canon. Parasoul originally had a chance of calling Juju by name when using the Silent Scope super, but this was removed after the incident occurred. See the Trivia page for details. |
| 742 | * AssistCharacter: Like the other Black Egrets, she was one to Parasoul, despite never appearing onscreen in battle. Parasoul's Silent Scope Blockbuster is her radioing Juju to shoot her opponent -- or it was, before she was ExiledFromContinuity. |
| 743 | * FriendlySniper: As the sniper for the Black Egrets, she qualifies as this. |
| 744 | * {{Irony}}: As a sniper, her job would require a large amount of secret keeping. The reason she was ExiledFromContinuity was that her creator decided to blab about her. |
| 745 | * TheSixthRanger: She was ''supposed'' to be this for the Black Egrets. |
| 746 | * SmallGirlBigGun: Her gun is bigger than she is. |
| 747 | * SniperRifle: Her weapon of choice. She was supposed to be the sniper Parasol called on in her Silent Scope Blockbuster, until real life events made that impossible. |
