Valentine is one of the playable characters in Skullgirls.

StoryEdit

Valentine is the only survivor of the Last Hope, a group of special Anti-Skullgirl Lab 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.

EndingEdit

After defeating the Skullgirl, Valentine takes possession of the Skull Heart. She thinks about wishing her friends from Last Hope back, but then decides on something else. Since Painwheel despises her so much, Valentine becomes the new Skullgirl so that Painwheel could kill two birds with one stone. Painwheel arrives to find Valentine gone, so she removes her mask and takes her old bonesaw and looks up at the sky.

PersonalityEdit

According to the offical Skullgirls website Valentine keeps to herself, so much of her true nature and personality are unknown but from what can be picked up from in the game is that Valentine can be rather cold, brutal and deadly if or when she needs to be.

In her ending she was planning on using the Skull Heart to revive her deceased friends however Valentine remembered Painwheel's current condition and used the Skull Heart to become the next Skullgirl so that Painwheel could get revenge against her for all the wrong she's done to her.

In Valentine's story, she intends to put an end to The Trinity plans of destroying the world. This shows an act of heroism in Valentine. Valentine's reasons for wanting to become the next Skullgirl shows that she is remorseful for the terrible things she did to Painwheel, wanting to atone for all the things she's done to her. Over the course of the story Valentine is shown to have a lighter side. All the horrible things she had done was for reason. Her original wish also shows loyalty to her deceased friends.

TriviaEdit

• She is voiced by Laura Post, known for voicing Bosbos in Red Line.
• Her name is also the name of Saint Valentine, whom she shares various references to, such as being very mysterious and not much is known about each of them.
• Her Birthday is December 25, the same as Florence Nightingale.
• Valentine seems to be a hybrid of a 1960's-era nurse and a Japanese ninja.
• Valentine has a large scar on her right eye that's in the shape of an X(or a possible + sign similar to the shape of her iris).
• The pupil of Valentine's left eye seems to be in the shape of a cross.
• Her 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th color palettes are the same as the other members of The Last Hope.
• Valentine's theme is "Paved With Good Intentions" which is the theme for the Anti-Skullgirls lab stage. Her theme seems to be shared with her personality.
• Some of the weapons she uses also come from her fallen comrades of Last Hope:
  • Scaples from Christmas
  • IV Pole from Patty
  • Bodybag from Easter
  • Vials and Syringes from Halloween
• One of Valentine's dislikes is back pain. Her dislikes of back pain could stem from her own back pains as she has a rather large bust.
• While often featured as a villain, Alex Ahad states that Black Dhalia will be the first "unambiguosly evil" character, making Valentine more of an anti-hero than villain.
• Valentine's ninth color palette is a reference to the nurses in Silent Hill: Homecoming, and the movies of Silent Hill.
