Squigly Valentine Ms. Fortune
The songs in the Skullgirls can often be related to one character as their theme, but there has been controversy over who's is who's, so I feel like we should clear that up. Often, they are associated with that character's stage, but that can sometimes be debatable
A (*) symbol means that this particular character's song is controversial or unknown by me, if it's not there, it means I'm fairly certain about that one. Feel free to correct me or discuss it below.
A (**) symbol means that I have no clue, and that's my best guess. Again, voice your opinions below. They would be much appreciated.
Big thanks to Aethereal Angel for posting much of the ost on youtube, and EX Shikuru for posting the rest.

I generally go with "whatever was playing during the character's trailer is his/her theme". As is, in all cases it is the background music of a stage there has special meaning for the character in question.

With two pairs of characters, a different fragment (with a different tone) of the tune was played during their trailer. For example, Paved with Good Intentions - as I see it - rather than being specifically Peacock's or specifically Valentine's theme, is a piece that jumps back and forth between Peacock and Valentine. Similarly Dirge of the Divine Trinity and Parasoul-Double.

This also goes well with the associated stages (Lab 8 and the Cathedral) having two very different versions, fitting better one character or the other.

Hmmm... I didn't even think of that.
 
Honestly, this could go for Annie, Umbrella, Marie, Dahlia, any of those girls and guys who didn't make it.

Except for the fish people.
 
Filia: Moonlight Melee
Cerebella: Seat of Power OR Where Money Flows Like Water (She's been seen there ever since it opened up, and is Medici owned.)

Double: Dirge of the Divine Trinity OR Chamber Below (when her true form is revealed)
Squiggly: Clear Breeze OR Destiny in Her Hands (Reprise)
Big Band: (Obvious)
Eliza: An Oasis In Time OR Chamber Below (She went full Theon form here, could be a song for Sekhemt, despite it fitting Double better)
