Black Dahlia

History v1

Black Dahlia Official Art Official Black Dahlia Artwork Information Gender: Female Black Dahlia (Japanese: ブラック・ダリア) is a playable character in Skullgirls. A mysterious woman who is at least partially mechanical, Black Dahlia has risen through the ranks of the Medici Mafia's henchmen to become one of Lorenzo Medici's top enforcers. When she's not acting as his personal bodyguard, she's being sent on the Medicis' most important and heinous missions. Beyond that, little is known about her, but she has worked for Lorenzo for at least fourteen years (likely more, as she appears to have been highly ranked even then). The mask she wears obscures her face in all known photographs. Announcement Development Name Its name is a reference to the unsolved murder of Elizabeth Short, nicknamed the Black Dahlia. History Little is known of Black Dahlia's backstory, beyond some details of her past affiliation with the Anti-Skullgirl Labs. Her body was severely injured many years ago, but due to the efforts of the Anti-Skullgirl Labs' founder, Dr. Geiger, she was rebuilt with a formidable arsenal of projectile weapons. Like Big Band, she was a veteran ASG agent who resided within the labs years before the Parasite experimentation that eventually led to the "birth" of Peacock and Painwheel took place, and as such, she is also not equipped with a Synthetic Parasite. Black Dahlia eventually went rogue from the Anti-Skullgirl Labs and now works as a seasoned assassin for the Medici Mafia.

History v2

Black Dahlia is the right hand of Lorenzo Medici, leader of the powerful Medici crime syndicate that governs New Meridian from the shadows. A former agent of the Anti-Skullgirl Laboratories, Black Dahlia was mortally wounded decades ago in a confrontation with a Skullgirl and rebuilt with experimental cybernetic technology. The experience left her with an insatiable thirst for blood and a fascination with the despair and suffering of others. She betrayed her comrades to fight as a hired assassin for whoever could keep her satisfied (and entertained). After the destruction of the Medici Tower by the Skullgirl, Lorenzo sends Black Dahlia on a killing spree to stop Marie and recover the stolen Life Gem from Ms. Fortune. However, Dahlia is growing weary of her boss and is drawn to the forbidden emotions that only the Skull Heart can provide…

Personality

Cruel, sadistic, and twisted, Black Dahlia loves little more than carnage and violence. She lacks true loyalty to the Medici Mafia and only serves as Lorenzo's consigliere as a constant excuse to be violent. Even before becoming the psychotic killer she is today, she was always a bit rough. [2]

Design

Design Black Dahlia - Fight - Skull Girls - 34436617 - 1280 - 1858 Alex Ahad's concept of a set of movements. In addition to using hidden weapons concealed throughout her body, the conceptual art of her movements also shows that the weapon she carries on her arm can transform into other weapons, such as a chainsaw, a chicken sickle/fleur-de-lis spears, a bayonet-like weapon, an axe/halberd, and a saw-pistol. The mask she wears conceals her face in all known images. Black Dahlia is a human cyborg, but she is sometimes mistaken for an elf. Alex Ahad stated that the idea that she was an elf stemmed from a misinterpretation of a piece of artwork where her ears were stylistically more pointed, but he never intended to indicate that she was anything other than human. [2] She is between 50 and 60 years old, making her the oldest non-immortal character in the game [2], but how much she has aged is unknown due to her mechanical components and exposure to the Life Gem. Peacock refers to her as an "old hag". Dahlia lost both legs and her right arm in her first fight with a Skullgirl. Something may have also happened to her face, but nobody knows what she looks like now, not even the developers, as it was also confirmed in another stream that they don't even have her face in the reference sheets.
