Valentine RP ||| Skullgirls

What is known about Valentine can be inferred from her story mode and combat dialogue. She often appears impersonal and condescending, with little emotional fluctuation. She has no hesitation in resorting to murder, aside from feeling slight guilt toward Painwheel, she has no real morality or ethics. Despite her actions, Valentine "acts like a jerk" to conceal her kind intentions and emotions. Valentine has a strong attraction to medical science and education, and often refers to her actions as part of "experiments" or "research." Valentine fights like a classic ninja, using acrobatics, a variety of "medical" weapons, and several ninjutsu-based techniques. As a character, she is highly agile and the only one who can use aerial dodges after a double jump: when she dodges, she flies up 20 degrees, allowing her to employ unique attack tactics. Her strikes are fast and easily linked into combos, but they deal little damage. She also possesses a decent number of super strikes, most of which can be performed both on the ground and in the air. The large crosses on her legs are used as shurikens or to enhance her strikes. Another of Valentine's weapons is a spear-dropper, which she can use to slash and stab her opponents. She also has an seemingly unlimited supply of scalpels and syringes filled with various poisons, as well as a variety of throwing weapons such as scalpels and shuriken crosses.

Backstory: Valentine had a rough childhood and entered to the labs early on, for training purposes. Valentine lost her eye in the incident that destroyed Lab 7. The cross in her remaining eye is a result from the lab's experimental drug test, as the team were not only in charge of the tests but test subjects themselves. The scar on the lips of Valentine are not from the attack on Lab 7, but a different event not yet determined. 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. Valentine used to be second-in-command of the Last Hope before the rest of the group were wiped out; prior to this incident Christmas was the leader. Valentine got along with the Last Hope members, getting along with Hallow the best. She also had a small rivalry with Christmas. Basis: Valentine, as with all members of the Last Hope, is a code name based on a holiday; in this case being Valentine's Day. A holiday themed around love fits with her flirtatious persona. Her true name is Valerie and denotes "strength, health or boldness". Story: Valentine is the only survivor of the Last Hope, a group of special Anti-Skullgirl Labs 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. Now Valentine dutifully serves the Skullgirl, carrying out her will from the shadows. She keeps to herself, so much of her true nature and personality are unknown. Upon defeating the Skullgirl, Valentine reaches a dead end. Knowing that wishing back the Last Hope could only end in disaster, Valentine chooses instead to become the Skullgirl outright, which the Skull Heart grants without hesitation. Painwheel appears in the catacombs shortly after, only to find the Skull Heart gone along with Valentine. She picks up the bonesaw Valentine left behind, and looks up to the sky full of light and good energies and the Skull Heart's darkness and malevolent aura that infested the catacombs were dispersed. Appearence: Valentine has blood red eyes with cross-shaped pupils, blue hair with several large bangs covering her forehead and right eye with tied up in a spiky pony tail, along with grayish skin. She wears a bandaged eye-patch over her right eye, which is heavily scarred over. She also has a thin, vertical scar running through the left side of her lips, which is typically covered by a white medical mask. Valentine has a slim yet curvaceous body, although her low fighting stance deliberately obscures her true stature. She wears a black fundoshi and concept art shows she has adhesive bandages over her nipples in lieu of brassiere. Her outfit is a cross between a nurse and a kunoichi: she dons a white, skin tight medical scrub top with pink cross buttons, a matching nursing cap and medical gloves. This is complete with a thin black choker, leg wrappings that end with a pink cross-shaped shuriken (her Dead Cross) near her knees and white flats. She has a brown medical hip bag at the small of her back that houses her defibrillator and bonesaw when not in use.
