Advice for new players: This thread is intended to be a companion to the Skullgirls games, not a replacement or a recap. The information won't make much sense to you if you haven't played the game or don't already have basic knowledge of Skullgirls lore. I would suggest playing/reading at least all the stories Skullgirls 2nd Encore first before diving in.
Please note that this is a my own personal effort and I am not affiliated with Future Club, Autumn Games, or Hidden Variable Studios. The information is collected as-is, and while I do curate them for wordings and based on information that are not already confirmed in-game, I don't make any judgement calls on whether they are important or not.

Another interesting source of lore is the cut endings which were found in the game files, that can be read here: https://skullheart.com/threads/alte...ings-discovered-in-skullgirls-game-data.4374/ Note that these were scrapped before being included in the game, so they might not have been "lore verified" and should be considered apocryphal at best, like the rest of the information in this thread.

Currently playable characters:
Filia & Samson:
- Samson used to have a host, Delilah, who was a very important host to him.
- The hairpin swords that earlier versions of Filia used is still canon, she is just not using them right now.
- Samson has lots of contacts and "friends" that he bugs to get him and Filia a place to sleep, so they've been bumming it out.
- Samson knows Yu-Wan, and he is one of these "friends".
- The reason why we don't see people looking for Filia might come up in the canon story mode. People are looking for her but there's only so much that can be shown in the character's own story mode.
- Samson took over Filia’s hair; he’s halfway to being her hair. His “texture” is basically like hair but with possibly some muscle structures underneath.
- Filia is not as “smart” as she is before, i.e. she is more naïve due to losing her memory.
- Filia’s favourite type of dog is golden retrievers, and medium-sized main-character-type dogs
- Samson can close his mouth and eyes to stay hidden. His mouth can look like a headband. Samson generally hides because he knows that it’s a stigma to have a parasite
- People who knew her previously probably think that Filia has dyed her hair if they aren’t aware of Samson
- Filia probably dated guys pre-Samson
- Samson can feel what Filia feels
- Filia didn’t have a lot of genuine, sincere friends; most people sucked up to her or were afraid of her due to her being a mafia princess. Carol was one of her few true friends
- Measurements: 34C-26-39
- Age: 16
- There is a rational explanation for Samson's apparent inconsistencies in Filia's stories in Skullgirls Mobile and Skullgirls 2E, which will hopefully be explained in future stories
- Based on current story outlines, Filia is at least partially to blame for Carol's whole deal
- Samson has "reasons" to not telling Filia stuff and effectively sacrificing her to the Skull Heart, despite his characterisation in SGM Origin Story
- Samson is very bad at keeping his hosts alive. He changes hosts often
- Since Parasites cannot produce offsprings, Samson, for example, has a big appetite but no sex drive. (Achieved from old lore thread by Japanese community)
Cerebella:
- Her ethnicity was meant to be the equivalent of Brazilian in the Skullgirls universe.
- Like the rest of the Cirque des Cartes (Circus of Cards) members, she is based on a card motif, in her case the diamond suit.
- Cerebella isn't "literally pure" but is pure in the sense that's she's not entirely aware of how bad the Mafia is.
- "Cerebella" is her stage name. Her real name is Cassandra Veranos (confirmed in Limited Edition booklet)
- Cerebella’s Vice-Versa was with her since she was passed onto the circus. Probably given to her by her mother
- Cerebella has a lot of strength but Vice-Versa has the ability to negate a lot of weight, letting her perform feats such as lifting multiple elephants like in her story mode.
- Cerebella being able to turn rocks into diamonds is a true-to-lore power, which was demonstrated in her ending. It is likely that diamonds aren’t worth as much in the Skullgirls universe due to the mob having a member who can create them. :P
- Cerebella's mother was/is good at crafting Living Weapons
- Cerebella idolises Beowulf and partially based her on-stage attitude on his antics (confirmed in Limited Edition booklet)
- On her 18th Birthday she was entrusted with the knowledge of how to perform the "Patada Circular de la Familia de Veranos", a secret technique passed down from generations, which she executes with deadly precision" (from the Limited Edition booklet. NOTE: Kind of a weird one? Not sure if it is supposed to be serious canon or a joke entry. If she was handed to the circus at a young age then who from her family taught her the secret technique?)
- Measurements: 32D-23-36
- Age: 18
- Interestingly, her official Japanese bio (https://archive.vn/YTICj) lists 2 different weights for her: one by herself and one including Vice-Versa: 59 kg (136 kg when using Vice-Versa). 59 kg more-or-less corresponds to her weight in the English bio which is 130 lbs., but the other weight has never been in the English bio as far as I know. Just based on simple maths that makes Vice-Versa weight 77 kg while in use or approx. 170 lbs.
- If Valentine is an anti-hero who has been driven by her principles, Cerebella is the opposite - she is what we might call an anti-villain. If that's the case, then perhaps it is her destiny to be defeated by Peacock, the hero. (Achieved from old lore thread by Japanese community)
Peacock:
- Full name: Patricia Watson
- Her eyes used to be green
- Avery is a male bird
- Peacock's Ant Wasted move does not kill the ant, but rather the beam from the magnifying glass teleports it back to a safe area. In addition, all ants (if Peacock summons multiple through canceling the move repeatedly) are the same ant, summoned from alternate universes.
- Peacock is capable of ageing. Some of her parts may need to be re-fitted because of this
- The Avery Unit has the power to “distort” which is a side effect of Peacock’s insanity. She can’t create things out of thin air, but rather modify Lab 8’s range of specialised arsenal. There are certain limits and her summons are only temporary. Her power is still growing so she may be able to summon more things in the future. This particular lore is ambiguous right now.
- Peacock based Andy Anvil on Stanley, Tommy Ten-Tons from the big blocky scientist, and George and Lenny off the small scientist with the top-knot.
- Patricia was too defiant to be a slave, so she was broken as an example to the others.
- Patricia has been Peacock for about a year or so. She rapidly adapted to her new set of eyes and developed advanced spatial awareness. Normally she would not be put in the field so soon but her adeptness with the Avery Unit made her one of the best bets against the Skullgirl.
- Peacock will NEVER stop believing in imaginary friends
- Peacock likely started smoking after becoming Peacock. They are probably imaginary cigars which are created like her other summons
- Peacock's planned romance is with Leduc - pretty innocuous first-love type of romance, not "the type that people draw on DeviantArt"
- Measurements: 18A-17-20
- Age: 13
- Peacock was a tomboy type that liked to watch cartoons all day. Marie was more reserved, but hanged out with Peacock a lot as she always protected her.
- According to an old drawing, the fridge that Peacock can drop has a name, which is "Feta the Fridge"
- Avery (the bird) is "technically" a super powerful computer that may help Peacock process complex calculations needed for her ability
Ms Fortune:
- She can harden her body parts such as her ears and tail to use as weapons. It is a Feral special ability.
- Her ethnicity is meant to be the Skullgirls universe-equivalent of Latina.
- Fortune likes small dogs
- Fortune can feel pain despite being undead
- Ms. Fortune was a stray hanging around Little Innsmouth before she was found by the Fishbone Gang.
- Fortune as a child was always with the gang. She was an orphan, and learned the art of thievery from them. She was always causing troubles.
- Ms Fortune's "power level" in terms of the Skullgirls cast is pretty low - about down there with Beowulf
- Measurements: 32B-23-34
- Age: 20
- The names of the Fishbone Gang members are Eli (the eel with an apron), Toady (pufferfish with bandana), Sinker (eyepatch guy with hook on his lip), Leon (open shirt guy) and Nadia
Parasoul:
- Krieg is a family heirloom.
- Measurements: 34DD-24-38
- Age: 25
- Parasoul childhood was always about training to become a fighter and to take the role of her father in the future as a leader. Umbrella was more goofy and spoiled in comparison.
- Parasoul chooses to be in charge of the Egrets, she likes more to take action than do paperwork. Natural leader.
Painwheel:
- In Filia's ending, she carries around the large cello case that contains the blades from the Buer Drive.
- The full name of the Gae Bolga parasite is the Gae Bolga Matrix. (May be outdated info - all new official materials so far has referred to it simply as Gae Bolga)
- Painwheel is possibly one of the most, "powerful," of the cast, as is the case with the other ethically-challenged Lab creation (Peacock), but she is (as is evident in her/Valentine's story mode) kind of unskilled. She's a raw murder machine without much time to get herself together, but given time and practice with her enhancements, she could be nearly unstoppable.
- Unlike other characters, instead of getting stronger by becoming a more evil version, she'd probably gain strength if she were to calm her heart (from the Limited Edition booklet)
- Measurements: 21B-18-23
- Age: 15
Valentine:
- Her real name is Valerie
- Prior to Last Hope being wiped out, she was a specialist with the bone saw. She took skills of her fallen comrades to add to her current arsenal; scalpels from Christmas, syringes from Hallow, IV naginata from Patty and body bags from Easter. Alex said that it can be seen as a selfish act, but also a sentimental one.
- Valentine lost her eye in the incident that destroyed Lab 7. The cross in her remaining eye are result from the drugs and the experimenting, since they were part of it too not just in charge of them.
- The scar on the lips of Valentine are from a different time, not the attack on Lab 7. Not yet determined. Why she hasn’t replaced her eye is from a character design standpoint.
- Valentine got along with the Last Hope team but had a bit of a rivalry with Christmas. She got along best with Hallow.
- Valentine’s “superhuman” feats can be attributed to her ninja skills, and she is able to exceed certain human limits due to Lab 7’s modifications. Her counter animation is most likely an illusion or a body double.
- Outside of her "job", she's a very straightforward person and her sexual act is just a part of her kunoichi technique
- Measurements: 36E-25-40
- Age: 27
- Valentine prefers acoustic instruments (not a fan of heavy metal). Perhaps Brain Drain would be more interested on electric ones (Alex made that up).
- Valentine had a rough childhood and entered to the labs early on, for training purposes
Double:
- The nun form that she takes is based on no one in particular; it's just a form she takes to blend in at the cathedral.
- Double can mimic anyone's voice, and is capable of talking normally to appear as, for example, a nun or a stranger at a party, in order to spread rumours about the Skull Heart.
- Venus views Double as a maid or a butler, although it’s not quite as straightforward as Double represents many things.
- Double’s purpose is to manipulate the situation to pass the Skull Heart to the right candidates, i.e. people who are desperate enough and who would wish on it in such a way that it would corrupt the person into the Skullgirl
- Double can emulate things by sight
- Double chooses a nun form in order to manipulate people with religion
- Double does have sentience and a sense of self, but not so much that she could actually do anything outside the will of the Trinity
- Double pretty much started the Church of the Trinity. It's evidently part of the, "long con," as they say, and based on how ubiquitous the church seems to be in at least the Canopy Kingdom, it gives a clue as to just how long Double has been active.
- The nun identity goes by the name of Agatha Gloomfoil, and if you can guess why, you are one of the cool fans (confirmed in Limited Edition booklet)
- Skullgirls Mobile social media account/in-game promotion confirms Sister Agatha's birthday
is on 11th May, although since Agatha isn't a real person, it is not clear what this date actually refers to (The "birthday" of this persona? Just an "official birthday" on her legal papers?)- Based on subsequent social media posts in later years, her "birthday" actually appears to fall on International Mother's Day, which is the second Sunday of May, regardless of the actual numerical date. Her birthday art features students from her Sunday school, and the significance of it falling on Mother's day is probably self-explanatory - Measurements: Varies
- Age: Unknown
- Double's true form has been long forgotten. But the face in the nun form does have hints of what her original image was (from Reddit AMA)
- Double was never a child. She seems to have been around for a while.
- Double can’t travel through time and in terms of ranks, she’s below from Aeon and Venus. Her whole purpose is to manipulate people and situation so the Skull Heart can be passed to the right hands, a.k.a. giving it to someone suitable enough and be desperate to wish on it and become the Skullgirl
Squigly & Leviathan:
- Squigly was not resurrected during Queen Renoir's transformation into a Skullgirl, as the Queen was currently in another land at the time and her powers did not extend back to the Canopy Kingdom's dead-and-buried.
- Before she died, Squigly was considered to be a Mezzo Soprano
- Leviathan was present for the clash between Samson's old host, Delilah, and Eliza.
- Squigly’s full name is currently “Sienna Contiello”. Her middle names mentioned in older lore materials and her Dragon Empire heritage are no longer canon. She still retain some Chinese theme in her moves
- When Squigly talks about Parasoul’s height, she has never met her before but has seen her in photos and on TV and such.
- While Roberto has Leviathan living in his shoulder, due to the stigma of having a Parasite, Leviathan would generally be hidden under a short cloak or a coat (Potential contradiction with his art in Squigly's Origin Story, since Leviathan is just hanging out in plain sight. Although it could just be that the portrait art is just stylised and doesn't show exactly what he looks like in public, or it was a more private event for close friends and family so he was more comfortable with showing off Leviathan.)
- Squigly and Leviathan is able to tap into Abaddon's ability to manipulate space to perform moves such as Centre Stage.
- Measurements: 28B-21-38
- Age: 28 (14 at death)
Big Band:
- He wears striped boxers with musical notes on them.
- He was given music-based power as Dr Avian is a fan of jazz music. Like how Peacock creates cartoon-based power for herself, a better understanding of the mechanics of jazz instruments means that Avian can create mechanisms based on them more effectively.
- Big Band has newer technology than Dahlia, who is the very first generation of ASG subjects
- Measurements: 170-160-150
- Age: 49
Fukua:
- Measurements: 34C-26-39
- Age: Unknown
- Note: Her likes and dislikes are both listed as "Unknown" in the official bio on the Skullgirls website, but they are actually listed in the Limited Run booklet. Additionally, she has a different story listed under her bio. Since it's interesting and I don't think it directly contradicts the "official" bio, I'll add them here:
- Likes: Clones, color palette swaps, Filia's lifestyle
- Dislikes: Canon, continuity, over-analyzing things
- Story: Is she a nightmare? Is she a clone? Is she even canon? Who knows!?
Eliza, Sekhmet, Albus & Horace:
- In the Canopy Kingdom, Parasite hosts are generally feared and shunned, but due to the fact that Eliza's parasite is virtually invisible, she doesn't have to deal with that kind of discrimination.
- Originates from the Skullgirls universe-equivalent of Egypt
- Eliza is older than Annie.
- Eliza's been operating under her current guise for about 20 years now
- Eliza is basically a vampire; she can keep living forever as long as she gets blood
- Compared to Horace, Albus is younger, more aggressive and rough around the edges. In contrast, Horace is older, wiser and more refined, even if a bit out of shape. They generally work well together as a team even if they argue every once in a while. They act as back-up for Eliza as she does most of the fighting as soon as she gets an excuse to, otherwise they act as moral support for her. They are pretty strong and would give Beowulf an interesting match.
- There are other club singers in Canopy Kingdom, but Eliza is one of the best known
- Eliza is fond of cats
- Eliza confirmed to originally planned to be the main villian of Skullgirls 2
- Eliza is thousands of years old, having been a top general below Lamia, queen of the ancient, highly advanced civilization that you can see the ruins of in Gehenna
- Eliza launched a rebellion against the royal family, and Lamia's daughters Aeon and Venus were killed in this conflict (presumably by Eliza herself?). Whether Lamia herself survived that confrontation is not known, nor is how her daughters came to exist in their current incarnations.
- Measurements: 36DD-24-41 (average)
- Age: Unknown
- Eliza isn't actually made of blood, she drinks blood and convert to a blood-looking stuff that she is made of. This is similar to how Samson is actually made of stuff that looks like hair but isn't actually hair
Beowulf:
- He's NOT Scythana's dad. :p
- The Hurting is just a really durable chair
- Beowulf’s weight class is the mid-lower end of cruiserweight, the level just below heavyweight
- Beowulf is basically a side-character who is pretty detached from the main story. Until now his career has not brought him into contact with the main group
- As for Beowulf’s reason for retiring from wresting after his match with Grendel: most fans thought that it was to keep his winning streak, but ripping off your opponent’s arm and killing their mom… you have to think about where your job is taking you.
- Beowulf is currently undefeated with a win-loss ratio of approximately 32:0 (which is a completely arbitrary number and will probably change in the future)
- Measurements: 55-38-42
- Age: 37
Robo-Fortune:
- 32B-23-34 (adjustable)
- Age: 1st Generation
Annie & Sagan:
- She has had many different weapons and abilities throughout her life.
- Sagan, her remote parasite. keeps her right eye in his mouth.
- She's physically not able to swear due to her condition
- Annie has encountered a lot of Skullgirls and has killed a lot, but not the same a lot. She's seen the cycle multiple times and seen how they become stronger each time and is looking for the underlying source now.
- The Annie of the Stars show is very similar to the Super Mario Bros. Super Show with live action segments with cartoons and PSAs and commercials in between.
- Annie hides her immortality by getting a new hairstyle every few years. The show tells the audience that they have simply changed the actress. Eliza also pulls a similar trick
- Age: Unknown (15 forever) (listed on the official website for a few days before it got taken down)
- Annie has fought Double to a stalemate
Umbrella & Hungern:
- Hungern's favourite food is spicy food, but really he would eat anything.
- Hungern "is actually a bit different" from the other Renoir umbrellas
- It is likely that the Renoirs had avoided using Hungern unless, like in Umbrella's case, it is absolutely necessary. Without Hungern siphoning off her life force, she may already have turned fully Skullgirl. As a side effect of Hungern's power drain, Umbrella's physical development might have been affected
- It is confirmed that Umbrella has innate necromancy power due to her Skullgirl blood, and in the past has (unknowingly?) used it to revive a corpse by being near
Black Dahlia:
- She is an ex-member of the Anti-Skullgirls Labs and her body was modified with weapons from there. Like Big Band, she was part of the Labs before they worked with synthetic parasites therefore her body doesn't have them.
- She is the trainer of the Medici's legion of female assassins who specialise in hidden weapons such as the footblade that we see Cerebella uses.
- Black Dahlia's time in the Labs drove her mad, she used to be a lot different and had a different name before becoming an assassin
- Dahlia was the first ASG; essentially a prototype. She was gravely wounded in a Skullgirl attack and Geiger put her back together.
- She is around 50 to 60
- Dahlia doesn't have any true loyalty to the Medici. She is powerful enough to be the second-in-command of the Medici and loves to be their due to her deranged, violent nature, as being with them gives her a constant excuse to be violent
- Black Dahlia is NOT Elven. She is human. Alex said the idea that she was elven sprung from the misinterpretation of a piece of art where her ears were stylistically more pointed, but never meant to indicate she was anything but human.
- She was always “rough around the edges”.
- Dahlia lost both her legs and her right arm in her first fight with a Skullgirl. Possibly something happened to her face too, but no one knows what it looks like now, not even the devs (it was also confirmed in another stream that they don't even have what her face looks like in her reference model sheets)
- Dahlia's teleport is her moving so fast it looks like she vanishes, rather than altering reality like Peacock's
- Black Dahlia is not very fond of Ottomo, but they have a good [working?] relationship. (Achieved from old lore thread by Japanese community)
- The names of Dahlia's bunnies are:
- The Timeout Assistant Bunny: Bookie
- The Shotgun Bunny : Bonnie
- The Pistol Bunny: Buttercup
- The Knife Bunny: Killer
Bloody Marie:
- Marie's last name is Korbel
- She became the Skullgirl in late summer, and it's been a couple months since then, as the game takes place in autumn. (Note: stated long before SGM prequel stories were written so timelines for things that happen in between may not make sense. Note also the months corresponding to summer/autumn in New Meridian might not correspond to those in our real world)
- The makeshift orphanage that Marie and Patricia lived in was formerly a nobleman’s house, so they made do with the clothes that were available, i.e. maid uniforms. Marie took care of housework and “clicked” better with the maid uniforms. Dressing up like a grown-up also made other kids listen to her.
- Skullgirls inevitably become hateful and violent towards all life. Marie has been resisting the transformation with a strong will, but she’s already becoming more cold and ruthless, but still with a moral compass. She is in the “middle stage” of the transformation so to speak.
- Patricia and Marie knew each other before the war hit their home, and became close due to both having to survive after the war as orphans.
- Marie escaped from the slave traders and was never technically a slave. Technically, Patricia was the only one of the two who became a slave.
- Skullgirl-ification makes your hair turn pale and eyes turn red. Before becoming the Skullgirl, Marie’s eye and hair colours were blue and brown respectively
- Bio information from Limited Run booklet:
- Age 13 (12 at death)
- Birthday: April 3rd
- Blood Type: SG (formerly O)
- Height: 4'9"
- Weight: 94lbs
- Measurements: 17A-16-20
- Likes: Tidiness, innocence, fond memories, apples, jams and jellies, books, Patricia, Hilgard's orphanage, Rommelgrad, divine retribution
- Dislikes: The Medici, war, weapons, criminals, mice, the Anti-Skullgirl Project, the Skull Heart, powerlessness, suspicious nuns
- Story: Marie is a vengeful spirit risen from the ashes of No Man's Land. A region left decimated by the Grand War, its countries never recovered and gave way to lawlessness. She and others lived in a makeshift orphanage, but in the end there was no sanctuary and it was attacked by slavers. Marie alone escaped, thanks to her friend. A mysterious figure offered her a powerful artifact, the Skull Heart, as a chance to save the others. Sadly, she did not arrive in time and became the next Skullgirl. But for Marie, this was only the beginning. She embarked on a bloody path, following the paper trail from the slave traders of No Man's Land to the Medici Mafia in the city of New Meridian.
- The shadow that comes out of the Skull Heart in boss Marie's second form is that of Lamia (or the "Mother") that Venus and Aeon refers to - you can see she has the crown on her head as well (Note: we previously knew about Double's crown shape being based on Lamia's from her character design sheet - this entry is notable because it appears to contradict Kai's previous Q&A with Alex that Lamia and the Mother are not the same person. Whether this was because Kai misunderstood Alex, or Alex was intentionally misleading Kai, or Alex changed his mind, or that the identity of the Mother is more complex than can be explained simply without giving too many spoilers; is unclear)
- Marie's cause of death, connected to the reason her age was listed as 13 (12 at death) in her Limited Run booklet bio, was that, after being offered the Skull Heart by Double while she was still alive, Marie then tries to save Patricia and the other orphans from the slave traders, but is shot in the back with a shotgun. This is why her back is open. After this, she then comes back as a fully activated Skullgirl and begins her path of revenge and destruction, following the trail to New Meridian
- Marie was the only Skullgirl design by Alex that had blue flames and an exposed Skull Heart. Alex said that it is interesting that the blue flame was only present on Marie. Perhaps it is Marie's burning spirit, resilient to the Skull Heart as much as it can be, which makes for a weaker Skullgirl, but a stronger conviction (Note: The current design of Selene used in Squigly's Origin Story, made after Alex left Lab Zero, has the blue flame as well, so this may not be true anymore)
- The reason for Marie's resurrection at the end of Eliza's story could be partially related to her determination and fighting spirit, although there was also a certain joke aspect to it that is so absurd and abrupt. Since Eliza was likely to be the last playable character, and because Alex likes her, he wanted to tell Eliza's story as much as possible (Note: Worth noting that Eliza wasn't the planned final playable character at the time, but she was already planned to be followed by Beowulf and Robo-Fortune. Maybe Alex just didn't really like them as much and didn't consider their stories as important to tell.)
- Marie's surname, Korbel, was just a surname selected to line up with what her nationality should be. Her hometown, Rommelgrad, should be based more on Eastern Europe, but it was actually kind of all over the place
- The flame of the Skull Heart is "spiritual" and cannot burn anything
- Marie still has body heat, but may be lower than other people
- The Skull Heart is not a fan of water, but not afraid of it, so Marie can take a bath
- The vacuum cleaner is Marie's favourite thing since the orphanage
- Marie was in the orphanage for several years
- The skulls she wears on her head are not real skulls [Note: I assume he meant that they are decorations created magically, presumably similarly to the skull on Squigly's chest]
- Marie is good at music
- The veins from Marie's Skull Heart can be touched [Note: I assume this veins projecting from the Heart on her back are physical things that could be touched]
- Marie can survive the battle at the Cathedral and one of these possibilities will come into play a little further down the road. There is no doubt she will become a more important character in the future
Future/Potential DLC characters
Mrs. Victoria:
- Her first name is either Devannah or Diana; it's not quite decided yet. Both the names are references to something.
- D. Violet is her alter-ego.
- The Pazuzu whip brings out a deeper, maybe repressed side of Ms. Victoria in the form of D. Violet. Like the Hulk but with horniness instead of anger
- Victoria’s “missing student” mentioned in her bio is Filia (added this since some people speculate that it could be Carol)
D. Violet:
- The D. stands for Deep.
Stanley:
- His surname is Whitefin.
- Like sharks that cannot swim backwards as they need to push water into their gills by swimming forward, he cannot walk backwards.
Hive:
- Hive's Beezle Bomb is a mix of an implanted modifier and her suit, so she could take the suit off and be more or less normal, but still have access to her powers.
- The triangle on her head is a reference to dorsal ocelli.
- Hive and Leduc are around 15, slightly younger than Filia.
- Hive controls mechanical bees. They are basically bee-shaped bombs and missiles with she controls via her Synthetic Parasite, the Beezle Bomb. They are not alive and don’t contain any Theonite.
- Hive wanted to dress up as a sexy devil in order to go to the cool teenager Halloween parties. It was either that or a sexy nurse, but that was already taken ):
Leduc:
- Leduc is about 16 year old.
- Leduc can walk normally despite having goofy feat. Having a Segway-style dash might be possible.
Ileum:
- A veteran ASG soldier, she has fought 2 previous Skullgirls with Big Band.
- Ileum's story is that she decides to join the fight, as the Lab 8 kids are in danger or that Big Band needs help (Achieved from old lore thread by Japanese community)
Brain Drain:
- Before Brain Drain was rebuilt as a robot, he was less shiny and more opaque (lol)
- Brain Drain is younger than Avian. He has been a member of the Labs for a long time
- Brain Drain was the only “successful” psychic soldier, meaning that the other psychic solders were unstable. The destruction of Lab 7 was caused by the instability of some of these soldiers. There is a particular psychic soldier which is relevant to the story right now which has not been named yet.
- If anyone else gets a canon robot version, it would probably be made by Brain Drain
Andy:
- Andy Anvil's appearance was based on how Peacock see Stanley. She thinks that he looks like a walking anvil with sharp teeth who likes boxing.
- Likes basketball
- Tommy's full name is Tommy Ten-Tons.
- Andy's story was to revolve around attempting to retrieve Peacock's missing toon-town wagon.
- Andy is a sports nerd and likes boxing, rugby and basketball
Feng:
- She is 17-year-old
- Alex mentioned that the ghost birds on her head were summoned to her due to the fact that she had such a bad sense of Feng Shui that the very arrangement of her furnitures causes such bad chi flow that it attracts numerous ghosts into her house.
He said that this was more of a joke origin that he just happened to think of, but according to her official bio on the DLC character info page, this might actually be canon??(Pretty much confirmed based on Cerebella's Origin Story) - She is Cerebella's roommate
- Based on the ace card
- Feng confirmed to NOT have romantic feelings for Cerebella. It's just a normal, non-sexual "oh she's so cool" girl-crush, similar to Minette and Ms Fortune
Taliesin:
- He is of an "elf" race, as seen from his pointed ears. The elves are a very rare race in the Canopy Kingdom, and unlike elves from other fantasy universes, they are mostly the same as humans and do not have a longer lifespan than humans. Dr Avian is also a member of this race.
- Muse keeps Taliesin's hands in her mouth.
- Based on the Jack card
- Taliesin most likely doesn’t view other humans as people. He is essentially a sociopath with a detached view of others.
Hubrecht:
- Based on the heart suit
Regina:
- Many of the animals she commands are hybrid versions of animals that we would find in our world.
- Based on the Queen card
Beatrix:
- Based on the club suit
Ottomo & Tom:
- Tom used to be a member of the ASG Lab 4 and a colleague of Stanley, who decided to sell out to the Mafia and stole the M3 (Mighty Metal Man) robot, Ottomo, from the lab.
- Tom is a crude drunkard while Ottomo has a refined personality. While Ottomo has his own AI unit, his body is controlled by Tom.
- Tom is an axolotl/salamander Dagonian.
- Tom maintains Black Dahlia's mechanism. Despite Dahlia's mechanism being from a much older generation of ASG tech, he can still work with it using his engineering skills.
- Ottomo is a custom Mighty Metal Man (M3) unit that Tom made for himself to pilot. He is one of Lab 4’s experiments in creating vehicle/weapon hybrids.
- Tom and Stanley would definitely be considered rivals if they meet again due to Tom’s betrayal of Lab 4.
- Ottomo's AI is refined and is a robot butler who handles the dirty work. He has been programmed like this in order to please mob bosses.
- While not as infamous as Black Dahlia, Tom and Ottomo is still feared as one of the mob’s deadliest henchmen.
Yu-Wan:
- He has a brother, Shumei. You can see him on the Little Innsmouth stage with his arms crossed and looking the other way.
Minette:
- One of her sisters, the nautilus girl, is called Nautilee.
- Minette thought that Ms. Fortune was a pretty cool cat so it did not take much for them to become friends. They met as the Fishbone Gang hung out at Yu-Wan’s restaurant all the time, since Little Innsmouth is a small community.
Scythana:
- The handcuffs she is wearing are infused with magic that makes them unbreakable even with her Gigan strength.
- Grendel's mother and Scythana are not related. (Achieved from old lore thread by Japanese community)
Roxie:
- Her real name is Rosie.
- One of her jobs is to maintain Panzerfaust's tanks, which he keeps breaking due to his reckless techniques.
- Roxie is an easy-going girl who is driven by curiosity. She likes puzzles and is a fan of dissembling and reassembling things to see how they work. She also likes sandwiches because of how she can put them together. She tends to get away with adding stuff which was how Molly’s Graham-o-Tron happened.
Panzerfaust:
- Panzerfaust is the specific name to the character who hangs out with Parasoul, but there are other surviving tank-handed soldiers with their own names. The original draft for Squigly's Origin Story actually featured a different one, but it was changed to Panzerfaust to avoid confusion with introducing another NPC
Adam:
- His surname is Kapowski.
- Adam’s feeling for Parasoul is basically unrequited as Parasoul is pretty oblivious to it ;-;
- As far as the canon goes, Adam and Parasoul is probably the closest Skullgirls would have to a romance
Molly:
Isaac:
- While Isaac doesn’t have any connection with the ASG Labs, his job has brought him in contact with unusual tech and it would make sense if he knows Stanley in some way, due to the latter’s connection with the Labs’ advanced tech. They would know each other on the side, being of different professions.
- Isaac is a professor at the University of Canopolis.
- Isaac hair was gravely injured by a pair of scissors, leaving a cool scar
- It is no coincidence that both Isaac and Aeon can manipulate time; they are connected. (Achieved from old lore thread by Japanese community)
Venus:
Aeon:
- Aeon's torso can rotate (Achieved from old lore thread by Japanese community)
"Evil" Samson:
Archive of removed items due to them having been confirmed or changed in-game:
Filia:
- Filia wasn’t really evil. “We’re all good and bad in different ways” Filia's Origin Story in SGM shows Filia pre-Samson, and it seems her personality is quite different to what we had come to expect based on previously revealed info
- (Alex seems to implicitly confirm that Samson is the cause of Filia’s amnesia?) Kinda confirmed in Filia's Origin Story
Peacock:
- She used to work as a maid along with Marie in Rommelgrad, before they were captured by the slave traders Probably legacy information from old lore. Contradicted by newer confirmed info about Marie only wearing the maid uniform left in the orphanage because it clicked with her
Valentine:
- She used to be second-in-command of Last Hope before the rest of the group was wiped out. Christmas used to be the leader. Confirmed in Valentine's Origin Story

-She is familiar with Double due to her experience fighting Skullgirls (Practically implied in her story)
-Sagan can talk. Somehow. (Confirmed in story mode)
