Peacock is one of the playable characters in Skullgirls.
Story
Edit
Once a war orphan slave named Patricia, Peacock’s body was gruesomely mutilated by slave traders that captured her. She was rescued by Dr. Avian’s Anti-Skullgirls Labs, and rebuilt with a reality-defying arsenal of biomechanical weaponry: the Argus System augmented her body, and the Avery Unit gave her access to unprecedented weaponry.
Alas, they couldn’t do anything for her mind: Peacock’s damaged psyche and abiding love of cartoons shaped her new “toys” into a terrifying gang of cronies, who she has no qualms using to paint the town red… with blood. Terrifying as she is, she may be the kingdom’s best bet against the Skullgirl.
EndingEdit
After defeating the Skullgirl, which turns out to be her best friend Marie, Peacock destroys the Skull Heart. She and Marie have a friendly conversation before Marie disappears from the world and vows to take revenge on the people who made both their lives miserable.
She was seen confronting the true head of the Medici family and his own secret weapon (Black Dahlia) and the two duke it out.
PersonalityEdit
Peacock's personality is tied with the cartoons that she loves. Peacock incorporates much of her fighting style and actions to match the violence which from cartoons. Despite this she still retains a certain sense of morality, as she explains that if Marie possesed the Skull Heart any longer, she will become just as bad as the criminals that she kills. Peacock notably has a very strong bond with Dr. Avian and of course her old friend Marie.
Fighting StyleEdit
Peacock is a zoning character. A lot of her moves push her opponents back. She uses classic cartoon violence and pop-culture references to fight, from throwing pies in her enemies' faces to pulling out Cloud Strife's Buster Sword.

TriviaEdit
- She is voiced by Sarah Williams, who is known for voicing Sayaka Miki from Madoka Magica.
- Her name is also the name of a bird, the Peacock, in which the males are known for their colorful tail plumes.
- During one of her special attacks, the "eyes" on Peacock's arms form to resemble the namesake bird's feathers.
- Despite being female and that a female peacock has no colorful plumes, Peacock still adorns the suggestive plumes of a male peacock.
- Peacock's design, moveset, and personality all reference 1920's-1950's-era cartoons.
- The name of the Avery Unit probably references Tex Avery , on that regard.
- Peacock uses four separate quotes from Bugs Bunny: "What a maroon!" "Of course, you know, this means war!" "Ain't I a stinka?" and "This ain't Albequerque!".
- She also quotes Animaniacs, saying "Helloooooooo nurse!" before she fights Valentine.
- She also references Jessica Rabbit by saying "You're not bad, you're just drawn badly" when defeating Parasoul.
- One of Peacock's color palettes resembles the character Cirno from the Touhou Project series.
- The 4th color palette resembles Aigis from Persona 3.
- Her 3rd color palette is a reference to Alucard from the popular vampire action anime Hellsing.
- Her special move, BANG!, will show and hit the opponent with 1 of 5 randomly generated weapons other than her own blade: both Sol-Badguy's weapons, Fuuenken and upgraded Fuuenken (Guilty Gear series), Cloud Strife's Buster Blade and Squall Leonheart's gunblade, Revolver (Final Fantasy VII and VIII, respectively) and BX-02 Blodia's arm (Cyberbots: Full Metal Madness)
- Before firing her revolver, Peacock yells "Garbage Day!!!": a quote from the cult slasher film Silent Night, Deadly Night 2.
- Peacock's cartoon revolver bears resmblance to the Smith & Wesson Model 29, a .44 Magnum revolver made famous by Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry.
- One of her attacks causes her to take out a banjo and horribly play it while sliding to the opponent, similar to Devil May Cry character Dante's Jam Session attack.
- Peacock's theme, "Paved With Good Intentions," is also used in the Anti-Skullgirls lab stage, and shared with Valentine.
- As one of the Indiegogo campaign rewards, people who bought the title of Advocate for $200 could have one of the voice actors for Skullgirls record a voicemail. The tumblr user "zferolie" had Sarah Williams sing "Yakko's World" from Animaniacs. Later zferolie posted the audio clip on tumblr for all to hear, and then offered others the chance to put it to music if they could mix it properly. Now several variations of the song can be found on youtube. One member of Lab Zero's staff, Vincent Diamante, even mixed the audio of the recording to music himself resulting in a pseudo 'official' Lab Zero version of the song.
- Judging by her appearance when Peacock was gruesomely mutilated, before the events of Skullgirls, it appears that she's had her arms and legs cut off, her eyes gouged out and teeth removed.
- In her ending, she can be seen holding a peice of cloth that looks exactly like Cerebella's hat, Vice-Versa. Hinting that she fought Cerebella and won on her way to Lorenzo.
- The name of the "Argus System" is a reference to Argos, a giant in Greek mythology best known for having more eyes than your bog-standard giant (as many as 100 depending on which version you read).
- According to the myth, the Greek goddess Hera mounted the eyes of Argus onto the Peacock's tail when Argus died.
