Skullgirls/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: She wishes to return {{spoiler|Painwheel}} into {{spoiler|her former friend Carol}} again and give her a normal life]]. The Skull Heart grants her wish, but detects that she feels somewhat guilty about {{spoiler|Painwheel's current state}}, meaning that [[And Then John Was a Zombie|Filia is doomed to become the next Skullgirl]]. At the very least, {{spoiler|the Heart slows down her painful transformation}}...[[Fridge Horror|if one reads Squiggly's background however, this was Samson's and the Mafia's plan all along]]

* [[Catholic School Girls Rule]]

* [[Heroic Host]]

* [[In the Blood]]/[[Sins of Our Fathers]]: The [[Big Bad]] wants to kill Filia because {{spoiler|she has Medici blood in her}}.

* [[Quest for Identity]]

* [[Raven Hair, Ivory Skin]]: She used to have [[Hair of Gold]] and [[Black Eyes]]. [http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/7669/06dxt.png Here's how she used to look], on the left.

* [[Shotoclone]]: [[Word of God|MikeZ said]] she's the game's [[Street Fighter|Ryu]]-clone

* {{spoiler|1=[[Spoiled Sweet]]/[[Lovable Alpha Bitch]]}}: It's implied her old, pre-amnesia personality had elements of these, considering both her background and her kind attitude toward {{spoiler|Carol}} in those days.

{{quote| ''"No one lays a hand on my host... '''no one'''."''}}

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

 

 

* [[Circus Brat]]

* [[Combat Stilettos]]

* [[The Four Loves]]: All she wants is for the Medici family to love her.

* [[Impossibly Low Neckline]]: The appearance given by her attire. It's a [[Playboy Bunny|bunny-esque dress]] with [[Detached Sleeves]] that has each sleeve linked via a band that crosses her chest.

* [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness]]: According to the [[Big Bad]].

* [[Love Makes You Evil]]: Or perhaps it should be {{spoiler|Love Makes You Commit Your First Murder}}.

* {{spoiler|[[My God, What Have I Done?]]}}: The final shot of her during her ending implies this; she got Vitale what he wanted, {{spoiler|but she had to kill Ms. Fortune to do it}}.

* [[Nice Girl]]: For all her showboating, she's never shown any negative emotions (except to those Vitale tells her to get rid of and the villains) and even the [[Big Bad]] notes her heart of gold and purity.

* [[Cheshire Cat Grin]]: Sports this constantly and doubles as a [[Slasher Smile]] due to her nature.

* {{spoiler|[[The Chosen One]]}}

* [[Creepy Child]]

* [[Cute and Psycho]]

* [[Peacock Girl]]

* [[Piano Drop]]: Capable of this, and with a variety of objects.

* [[Pungeon Master]]: When she isn't spewing familiar quotes, she's usually making puns based on whatever attack she's using.

* [[Reality Warper]]: Her powers are essentially a limited form of this.

* [[Cool Big Sister]]: Her little sister is Umbrella.

* [[Crosshair Aware]]: One of her supers, calling a sniper to shoot.

* [[Everything's Better With Princesses]]

* [[Fiery Redhead]]: [[Subverted Trope]], as her background lists "Logic" as one of her likes and "Overly emotional people" as one of her dislikes.

* [[Little Black Dress]]

* [[Meganekko]]: Some of her alternate colors gives her glasses.

* [[Panty Shot]]

* [[Peek-a-Bangs]]

* [[Punny Name]]: Her name Parasoul, in fact, [http://www.gametrailers.com/video/exclusive-parasoul-skullgirls/721772 pretty much is pronounced] like [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/parasol the word parasol], which she uses as a weapon.

{{quote| '''Ms. Fortune:''' ''"I... uh... dammit, your name's already a pun!"''}}

** What makes her interesting is that this is a rare ''heroic'' variant of the trope. That or her propaganda is just ''that'' good...

* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]

* [[Sugar and Ice Personality]]

* [[Sweater Girl]]: Some of her alternate colors even go so far as to give her ribbed sweaters too.

* [[Taking the Bullet]]: One of her soldiers will do this for her in battle, sometimes while shouting [[Big No|"NOOOOOOOOOOO!"]].

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Only on some of her alternate colours.

 

* [[Underboobs]]

* [[Unusual Ears]]

* [[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]].

 

* [[Psycho Serum]]: Experimental synthetic Skullgirl blood.

* [[Qipao]]: Though it almost looks like a [[Naked Apron]] due to how low it is in the back.

* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9c1CAurqbr8 Check her trailer, which is filled with disturbingly upbeat singing.]

** [[Word of God]] said that the music was selected for Carol and for the disturbing contrast.

* [[Swirling Dust]]: Victory pose. Kind of overlaps with a bit of [[Battle Aura]]

* {{spoiler|[[That Thing Is Not My Child]]}}: {{spoiler|Her ending.}}

* [[Combat Medic]]: As a character type, she is much more focused on the combat aspect, but she still has some healing ability for her Level 5.

* [[Counter Attack]]: She has one as a super. Notably though, it is incredibly discreet for a super counter, there is no dramatic super flash, and the meter is only depleted until after the counter either works or doesn't work.

* [[Deadly Doctor]]

* {{spoiler|[[Death Seeker]]}}: Implied in her story mode. She seems intent on {{spoiler|persuading Painwheel to kill her. So much so that in her ending she willingly wishes to becomes the next Skullgirl}}.

* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: Her Level 3 super is a particularly brutal one.

* [[Hammerspace]]: Where does that body-bag come from?

* [[Highly-Visible Ninja]]: Although, to be fair, she's a nurse. She'd blend in if she was working in a hospital.

* [[Hospital Hottie]]

** [[Dual Boss]]: With Double.

* [[The Mole]] / [[Reverse Mole]]: She's waiting for the right time to {{spoiler|betray Marie}}.

* [[Most Common Superpower]]: Again, 36E, which is bigger than Parasoul. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] as one of her dislikes is "Back pain".

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Special mention has to go to her pre-fight intro, where she's seen behind hospital curtains fiddling with her top.

* [[Panty Shot]]

* [[Pet the Dog]]: Her story mode implies that {{spoiler|she's quite fond of Painwheel.}}

* [[Slasher Smile]]: Whenever her surgical mask is down.

* [[Spinning Piledriver]]: Of the Izuna Drop variety. Her level 3 Super also begins with one.

* [[Nothing Is Scarier]]: She demonstrates the trope both figuratively and literally by having "nothing" listed under both her likes and dislikes. Despite the lack of creepy items like under Painwheel's bio, a completely neutral mindset is horribly inhuman.

* [[Nuns Are Spooky]]

* [[Sinister Minister]]

* [[Unexpected Shmup Level]]: Played with: her Level 5 super transforms her into an Easter Island statue that spits projectiles and summons Peacock's cartoon cronies. Sounds almost like [[Gradius|a certain shoot-em-up series Konami made]]...

 

* {{spoiler|[[Bigger Bad]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[God Is Evil]]: Implied due to the fact that we're talking about a trinity that's served by someone who dresses up like a nun (at least when not fighting).}}
