History Characters / SkullGirls

* TheCameo: Appears in the River King Casino stage sometimes.

* WalkingTheEarth: According to a Q&A, Samsom has contacts and "friends", including Yu-Wan, so he and Filia can get a place to sleep for the time when needed.

* AsideGlance: Looks towards the camera while Vice-Versa flashes twin peace signs when tagging out. Several of her other moves have a FreezeFramBonus showing Cerebella looking at the screen.

Her birthday is November [[ThirteenIsUnlucky 13]]th, and, fittingly enough, she's [[ThirteenIsUnlucky thirteen-years-old]]. Her blood type is B. Her official likes list contains cartoons, TV show ''[[ShowWithinAShow Annie: Girl of the Stars]]'', [[TheMovieBuff movies]], [[BloodKnight violence]], [[SweetTooth junk food]], [[CoolCar fast cars]], [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior explosives, cigars]], and being in charge. Her dislikes contains [[MightMakesRight weaklings]], [[ObstructiveBureaucrat bureaucracy, authority figures]], [[HatesEveryoneEqually people]], the [[ArtifactOfDoom Skull Heart]], [[AcceptableTargets nerds]], [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers salad, and chopsticks]].

* {{Meganekko}}: Some of her alternate colors gives her glasses.

* ImmortalityHurts: In Cerebella's story it's implied she got to The Grand Cathedral first, lost to Valentine and/or Double in a fight, and that Valentine's been conducting painful experiments on her regenerating body. Valentine's implied to want to do these experiments in Ms. Fortune's own story mode but fortunately she's strong enough to beat her there. Also if Valentine KOs her in Gameplay she sometimes screams "No...! No...!!!" as if she knows what's coming next.

* AnimeChineseGirl: The image given off by her appearance, she is a decidedly ''non''-cute example closer to a StringyHairedGhostGirl.

* {{Asexual}}: WordOfGod says Valentine has no interest in romance. Despite this, she often [[HoneyTrap her looks to get seduce others]] when needed.

* BadHabits: Her nun disguise if more disturbing when you realize it have ''veins'' in the lower parts.

* BuriedAlive: One of her supers does has her do this to her opponent.

* EveryProperLadyShouldCurtsy

* :PrettyLittleHeadShots: The hole in her head that Leviathan occupies was caused by [[spoilerBlack Dahlia's gun.]] Despite the massive size of said gun, the hole itself is relatively small and clean enough to leave her head intact.]]

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: An image found in the game files spells her name "Squig'''g'''l'''e'''y." It is also very common for the number of gs in her name to be confused about without checking first.

Ben Birdland has seen a lot in his time, including the worst of the Grand War -- but nothing was worse than what he saw as a beat cop in New Meridian. When he ran afoul of his crooked unit he was given a violent early retirement, and his broken body was left to spend the rest of its days in an iron lung.

* StatuesqueStunner: In-game Valentine is about the same height as the other girls, but that's only because she's ''crouching''. As we can see in her match intro (or her page image above), she's two inches taller than Parasoul. This is, of course, disregarding Double...

* ArmlessBiped: Looks like this at first glance. Turns out he ''does'' have arms, he just only brings them out for certain moves.

* ShoutOut: The fact that he has a different name in Japan is both a shout out to the fans who gave him that name as well as to ''Street Fighter II'', which had different names for characters in Japan and the rest of the world.
** "[[TheBigO We have come to terms.]] [[CowboyBebop See ya, space cowboy.]]"

* StealthPun: One of his kick moves involves producing a bass drum pedal from one of his feet. In other words, [[spoiler:a kick pedal]].

The Medici family's top assassin, she was the one who murdered Ms. Fortune's Fishbone Gang members. [[spoiler:She and her henchwomen also ambushed a party the Contiellos were hosting - killing everyone there, including Squigly.]] An ex-member of the Anti-Skullgirl Labs.
