This theory is in its infancy and if you have any criticisms or things to add tell me please
Also: by "All" The Skullgirls I mean the ones we know of Squigly's Mom, Parasoul's Mom, and Marie
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This theory is that Double (Queen Lamia) as the person who chooses the bearer of the Skullheart always plans to have the Skullgirls have something to do with the Canopy Kingdom.

This can be taken 2 ways. One is that Double (Queen Lamia) is trying to help the Kingdom by finding a person with a wish that could help the kingdom where her's once stood.
Secondly Double (Queen Lamia) could be trying to hurt the Kingdom that took after her's and finds people from the Kingdom or want to do something with it and give them the Heart, knowing they will be corrupted.

So what do you think yes or no?
ps: I'm gonna be making a video on this theory so please help me with ironing out the kinks if you want to!
 
And the time-frame of at least 9 months or more had to occur between the wish and Nancy Skullgirl, (start of war end of war) because she had to have gotten pregnant during the Skullgirl transformation process.
 
Heheh, insert Zeus from Altered Beast voice: "RISE FROM YOUR GWAVE!"

While I'm here, I can't resist clarifying this:
And the time-frame of at least 9 months or more had to occur between the wish and Nancy Skullgirl, (start of war end of war) because she had to have gotten pregnant during the Skullgirl transformation process.

What you are saying mostly isn't wrong. Umbrella is close to 10 (see canon info thread). She was around 3 years old when her mother, Queen Nancy Renoir fully transformed into the Skullgirl. Sometime between the defeat of the previous Skullgirl, Selene Contiello, 14 years ago, and Umbrella's birth, 10 years ago, Nancy made her wish and begun the long process of transforming into a Skullgirl. Step one is becoming a host to the Skull Heart. As Double explains in Parasoul's story mode:

Double: As you suspected, as your mother carried your sister as she also carried the Skull Heart.
Double: Darling Umbrella is already attuned to the Skull Heart's power, thus she will forge a stronger and more terrifying bond than even that of your mother.
Parasoul: So... it's true. But I won't allow that to happen!

So Nancy had to make the wish before or during her pregnancy. Either way, that's some bad parenting.

As for Skullgirls and Canopy Kingdom, I'm not sure what Double is after, but it definitely isn't in support of Canopy Kingdom. Also, the two previous Skullgirls were from Canopy, but Marie is from No Man's Land (the collection of ruined small countries devastated by the Grand War). She's only in Canopy Kingdom because that's where her revenge led her (Kill all Medicis!). I wouldn't be surprised if there have been Skullgirls from all over the world.
