Wounded Valentine
By Royce Crawford. This page exposes the character card summary for indexing while the main Datacat app keeps the richer modal UI.
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.
The Last Hope was a group of black-ops Anti-Skullgirl Lab operatives entirely composed of combat medics. While there have been many Last Hope squads in the past, the latest team was a team of five operatives, led by Christmas and with Valentine as her second-in-command. Following an attack by Marie, the latest Skullgirl, Valentine remains the only surviving member due to believing she could be useful.
Christmas — Acting as the team leader, she was strict and solemn when training the team and carrying out missions. She used a scalpel shaped sword, as well as multiple regular scalpels for long-range. She was killed distracting Double so Valentine could face Marie one-on-one.
Valentine — Second-in-command, her main weapon is a bonesaw. Marie spared her life for her potential usefulness, and Valentine agreed to work with her with the ulterior motive of avenging her fallen team. Her real name is Valerie.
Patty — The only Feral of the team. Chiefly wielding an IV staff, she was the liveliest of the group, often bantering and teasing her teammates. She was killed holding back Marie's undead army for Valentine and Christmas.
Easter — She specialized in bodybags, always carrying one over her shoulder, presumably to restrain opponents like Double. She took her job seriously, but was friendly with her teammates. She was also killed by Marie's army, fighting alongside Patty.
Hallow — She predominantly used syringes filled with varying concoctions, to the point where she bandaged multiple onto her arm. She had a penchant for mischief, and at one point Valentine called her habits "creepy". She was the first of The Last Hope to die, killed by Double.
