* Heck, Marie's whole story mode boils down to just being a giant love letter to her relationship with Peacock. From Peacock being there to help Marie break free from the Skullheart when she joined Filia and Squigly, to her staying by her side for the entire time after she was stuck with just a crystal shard of the Skullheart inside her chest, promising to keep Marie safe from anyone who may want to kill her, and [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre constantly reassuring Marie that she deserves to live even if she is at risk of becoming the Skullgirl again,]] to their friendship being strong enough that [[ThePowerOfFriendship it was able to help Marie resist the Skullheart long enough for her to beat the Trinity's Will]] [[ScrewDestiny and finally break the cycle of the Skullheart by claiming the dead's free will from the Trinity.]] Their whole relationship can count as SweetDreamsFuel, especially the ending with them finally being freed from the Skullheart and Trinity's influence over them.

** The story of how 'Annie of the Stars' came to be. Several generations back, the Renoirs completely controlled the media Annie started her own radio show because she believed people deserved to have some actual entertainment that wasn't state propaganda. It worked so well that some of her fans ended up helping her start a TV series based on her life, cycling through crew to keep up the appearance that 'Annie' was just an actress.

* Beowulf, when he learns that Grendel was drugged, immediately announces it to the audience, because he respects both his fans and Grendel too much to keep profiting off a lie at their expense.

* It's the 10th anniversary trailer, and it declares, with sombre music that, after ten years of fighting, the Skull Heart is broken, and it shows Peacock seemingly stood over a collapsed Marie. The music then changes tone entirely as Peacock declares she said she'd be Best Friends Forever with Marie, Marie looks up... and the Skullgirls theme kicks in. Marie has just been announced as the final DLC character, since, while the Skull Heart is gone, ''Marie still lives''...

* A side effect of Marie being playable? She can team up with Peacock. Just listen to their tag-in exchange:

* A piece of promotional art for Valentine's birthday shows a different side to her: rather than the usual {{fanservice}} or creepy medical imagery we've come to expect, the picture simply depicts Valentine sitting at home in front of her fireplace, toasting to the memory of the other members of the Last Hope. It's a sweet reminder that under her cocky and cold demeanor, Valentine really did love the Last Hope like a family and still holds them close to her heart, even after their demise.
