History Characters / SkullgirlsDLCCharacters

* LastOfHerKind: Her playable version proudly announces "I am the last Skullgirl," since the Skull Heart seems unlikely to ever return.

* EnemyMine: The reason that they still help Marie after the Skull Heart is destroyed despite some of them, like Joe, being mad at her for killing them is because they realize that the real ones responsible for everyone suffering is actually The Trinity themselves and want to help her take them down so they can finally rest in peace. It's also downplayed since they ultimately don't hold a grudge against her despite the factors.

** She also serves as a gameplay example to fellow grappler Beowulf, as Marie being immune to throws leaves Beowulf's Crowd Hype mechanic nearly[[note]]While Beowulf's grapple finishers are rendered nonexistent, he can still spend Hype to retrieve his chair.[[/note]] null and void. That said, Beowulf does at least have options to close the gap against her projectiles, such as Gigantic Arm.

* ManOfKryptonite: Gameplay-wise, she could be considered this to Umbrella, who excels in combos and grappling since, uniquely, she... can't be grappled and, while not it's not ''impossible'', she's highly resistant to being comboed. On top of this is the fact that Umbrella is generally a MightyGlacier so she has to wade through Marie's steady stream of projectiles to attack if Marie decides to move or the player push-blocks her away, taking chip damage all the while. Her second phase also has attacks that generally knock you away a fair distance, exacerbating this. '''And''' you still have to manage Umbrella's hunger meter on top of this, which you could usually do by grabbing, but, again, Marie can't be grabbed, meaning you'll have to resort to Cutie Ptooie to keep from going into starving if you take too long which there's a high likelihood of considering Marie's a DamageSpongeBoss and there's a high probability you'll get hit while doing so, further decreasing your chances of victory. Really with all this working against Umbrella is it any wonder [[spoiler: [[SiblingTeam she teams up with Parasoul to fight Marie during her story mode?]] (and lost to her off-screen in Parasoul's own)]]

* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler: Valentine outright states that, as someone who fought Gigans at full strength, there is no way Beowulf took on arguably their most powerful warrior and won fairly...and she's absolutely right in that he didn't. Grendel had been doped up to hell and back. However, upon being forcibly "recruited" by Marie, Grendel's spirit challenges Beowulf one last time, and Beowulf ''wins anyway''. Not only that, he wins in the exact same manner, proving that even if Grendel ''hadn't'' been drugged, he could have beaten him.]]

** Her alternate colors are far more detailed color placement wise than any other character, which makes sense, seeing as they are deliberate references to mecha from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' (the RX-78-2 and Char's Zaku), ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' (Metal Sonic), ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' (Aigis), ''Anime/TheBigO'' (Dorothy), ''ComicBook/IronMan'' (original red and gold armor), and more.

* UsedToBeASweetKid: According to [[spoiler:Peacock]], Marie used to be a strict, yet a kind girl before she become a Skullgirl. However, she regain her kindness after breaks free from the Skull Heart's influence.

* HeelFaceTurn: In her story mode, after the Skull Heart is successfully ripped away from her, Marie is returned to her original kinder self.

* ForTheEvulz: It's hard to tell if she falls into this or ItAmusedMe since, while she mostly does the horrible, '''horrible''' things she does to keep herself entertained without doing it ''just'' for the sake of being evil, her idea of entertainment [[{{Sadist}} mostly involves hurting people both physically and emotionally]] which is probably close enough.

* TheHeroine: Unlike almost everyone else. The worst thing Squigly does is try to look for the man who ordered her and her family killed, and get revenge on the woman who did the deed. Ultimately, Squigly fights for what's right and saves the day.

-> Created by Brain Drain out of both sheer pride and utter petulance, Robo-Fortune is a bit of an odd duck- although ''intended'' to be a loyal, cunning, top-of-the-line military android, Robo's programming, whether intentionally or otherwise, is faulty to the point that she pretty much fails to deliver in all areas. Nevertheless, she's been dispatched to claim the Skull Heart... and also fight those she could just as easily avoid along the way.\\\

-> Decades ago, the woman now known as Black Dahlia was mortally wounded by the Skullgirl and brought to the Anti-Skullgirl Labs, where she was rebuilt with cybernetics akin to Big Band. After all was said and done, Dahlia unexpectedly developed a lust for bloody violence and inflicting suffering on others, and promptly betrayed her cohorts at the labs to sell her services as a hired gun for whomever could afford her... and keep her entertained. This led her to the Medici family, and she eventually became Lorenzo's right-hand-hitwoman, training his other assassins and performing such jobs as slaughtering the Contiellos and getting back at the Fishbone Gang for stealing the Life Gem. With one of the Fishbone's members discovered to be alive and well thanks to the Gem and a new Skullgirl on the loose - one with a serious grudge against the Medicis, no less - Lorenzo has sent Dahlia to do what she does best, though after all these years, it seems Dahlia's finally gotten bored of taking his orders, and might instead be pursuing the Skull Heart for her own twisted interests...\\\

-> Sienna Contiello, better known by her affectionate nickname, "Squigly", is a member of a long line of opera singers... or rather, she ''was''. Fourteen years ago, during her mother Selene's birthday celebrations, the Medicis received word that the family had mysteriously come into possession the Skull Heart, and responded in turn by attacking the party, slaughtering all they could find... Squigly included. In grief, Selene wished for her family to be revived, and they were- as her new, mindless undead army, since her selfish wish also turned her into the Skullgirl. Squigly would be spared the fate of the rest of her family thanks to the timely intervention of the snake-like Parasite Leviathan, a close friend of the family. The pair aided the Anti-Skullgirl forces in defeating her mother before falling into dormancy, where she would remain until Marie became the Skullgirl years later.\\\

-> Before he was the musical detective he is now, Ben Birdland was an honest beat cop... ''too'' honest, in fact. His squad was on the Medici mafia's take, and when they found out that Ben has been sniffing around, the response was to beat him half to death and left him paralyzed, forever bound to an iron lung. It wasn't long after then that he was approached by the Anti-Skullgirl Labs, and he agreed to be rebuilt in exchange for joining their ranks. Now, "Big Band" walks a different beat, aiming to stop the Skullgirls no matter where and when they show themselves.\\\

-> On the outside, Eliza is a beautiful, youthful songstress and celebrity diva that runs Bastet's Den, New Meridian's premiere nightclub. This image, however, belies the truth: Eliza is actually countless years old, her beauty maintained by a symbiotic relationship with the blood-hungry Parasite Sekhmet, who Eliza keeps fed through "charitible" blood drives. The Medici have recently discovered Eliza's secret, and are blackmailing her into going after the Skullgirl- a decision that may prove fatal for them, as Eliza's age-old ambitions once again start to stir...\\\

* CallingYourAttacks

* CatchPhrase: Has several, a good number of them [[ShoutOut shout outs]]. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] with one of his win quotes.

* FaustianRebellion: Her story mode begins where many others end: fighting Bloody Marie in the final stage, albeit with the player's control given to Marie instead. The end result of this fight, however, instead of destroying the Skull Heart, the combined forces of Peacock, Filia, and Squigly separate her from it, decreasing her power but also removing any personality changes from it.
