{{quote|''"Let's go, Samson!"''

 

More or less the default protagonist of the game, Filia was once an [[Ordinary High School Student]], but one day woke up without any memories and a second mouth on the back of her head. Now, she hosts a Parasite named Samson, an unruly mop of demonic hair with incredible power. With no memories or anyone to turn to for help, if she ever hopes to piece together her past and survive the inevitable clash with the Skullgirl, Filia will need to trust this mysterious being.

* [[Eyes of Gold]]: Complete solid ones.

** [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Unlike Filia, played straight, but only when he's extremely pissed. See the quote right above.

 

== Cerebella ==

[[File:skullgirls-cerebella 1305.png|frame]]

 

Throughout the Canopy Kingdom, Cerebella is admired for her enormous strength and alluring curves. Sadly, this acrobatic orphan only desires the attention of one man, the mobster Vitale Medici, who took her in and became the closest thing to a father she’s ever known. While inherently good, Cerebella serves the mafia as a leg-breaker when not performing in the circus. She is the only person capable of controlling her powerful Living Weapon hat, Vice-Versa, so Vitale is stingy with his affections to keep her fighting in his corner.

* [[Nice Hat]]

* [[Weaponized Headgear]]

 

== Peacock ==

* [[Abnormal Ammo]]: Her revolver fires, amongst other things, bowling balls, baseballs, and [[Super Mario Bros.|Bullet Bills]].

* [[Vaudeville Hook]]: In her assist tag-out taunt. Peacock does softshoe for a few seconds before she is pulled off the stage by a cane into a [[Portable Hole]].

* [[Wheel-O-Feet]]

 

== Parasoul ==

[[File:skullgirls-parasoul 519.png|frame]]

 

Few know the terrors of the Skullgirl as intimately as Parasoul does: seven years ago, her own mother became the Skullgirl that nearly destroyed the world. This tragic past has made her fiercely protective of both her country and her family, and these two priorities frequently come into conflict. Parasoul is now the crown princess of the Canopy Kingdom and leader of its elite military squad, the Black Egrets. Wielding the living umbrella, Krieg, she fights with grace, poise and cunning to defend her family honor and destroy the Skull Heart so no one can repeat her mother’s terrible mistake.

** In addition, bullets shot into Krieg shoot out the other end, engulfed in a ball of flame. Parasoul has a number of attacks that involve her shooting Krieg with her Luger. Her Level 3 Blockbuster has her open Krieg fully, and have the Black Egrets fire on Krieg with automatic weapons. The result is a veritable storm of fireballs.

* [[Swiss Army Tears]]

 

== Ms. Fortune ==

[[File:skullgirls-msfortune 5143.png|frame]]

 

Nadia Fortune is the last surviving member of the Fishbone Gang, a band of otherwise [[Fish People|Dagonian]] thieves, whose last caper ended in tragedy; in an attempt to steal the Life Gem, a valuable and mystical artifact, from Lorenzo Medici, all were caught by the Mafia and brutally killed... or so the mob thought. Nadia managed to swallow the Gem and [[Immortality Inducer|gained immortality]] from it (or at least a near-infinite [[Healing Factor]], which amounts to the same thing), which allowed her to survive the mob's vengeance—Dahlia and her goons ''chopped her into little pieces'' and dumped her in the river with the bodies of the rest of her gang. She now lurks in the shadows of Little Innsmouth, plotting her own revenge against the Medici Mafia.

* [[Who Wears Short Shorts?]]

* [[Your Princess Is in Another Castle]]: In her ending, she decides to return home {{spoiler|without making her wish, destroying the Skull Heart}}...except {{spoiler|Minette}} has been kidnapped, so she and her friends at Innsmouth [[Here We Go Again|set out to find her]].

 

== Painwheel ==

[[File:painwheel 350 6770.png|frame]]

 

Once, she was a [[Ordinary High School Student|normal schoolgirl]] named Carol, who was kidnapped by Valentine and delivered to the Anti-Skullgirls Labs’ secretive Lab Zero. There she was implanted with the synthetic Buer Drive and Gae Bolga parasites and infused with experimental Skullgirl blood, transforming her into the monster she is today. Violent and unstable as a result of these experiments, as a precaution she’s mentally controlled by Lab Zero’s powerful psychic director, Brain Drain. Fueled by rage, she draws her power from her pain and fury. Despite that, the soul of that scared young girl still lives on inside this monstrous body, desperately fighting off the onslaught of voices that would control her.

== Valentine ==

[[File:valentine 350 6850.png|frame]]

 

Valentine is the only survivor of the Last Hope, a group of special Anti-Skullgirl Lab operatives. Before meeting their end at the hands of the Skullgirl, the Last Hope worked for the mysterious Lab Zero and performed duties ranging from reconnaissance and sabotage to advanced research.

== Double ==

[[File:double 350 1062.jpg|frame]]

 

Double’s origins are a complete mystery. Seemingly without a will or motive of its own, this formless monster aids the Skullgirl.

== Bloody Marie ==

[[File:Skullgirls - Bloody Marie 6312.png|frame]]

 

The game's final boss. A maid with a skeletal motif.

== Squigly ==

A zombified former opera singer, Squigly is inhabited by the parasite Leviathan, a rival to Filia's parasite Samson. Squigly uses a combination of "stance cancels" and spatial control powers.

 

 

== Umbrella ==

Parasoul's younger sister. Although Umbrella lacks the military protection and tactical finesse of her older sister, she does wield Hungern, a sentient umbrella that becomes more voracious and powerful the more it isn't used.

{{spoiler|The beings that Double speaks for to issue orders to Marie.}}
