Maria Korbel

Marie Korbel, also known as Bloody Marie (JP: ブラッディー・マリー), is the current Skullgirl and secondary antagonist of Skull Girl.appearing in every character's Story Mode (often as the final boss) and in the ninth round of Arcade mode. She was the second possible DLC character to be revealed in the Indiegogo campaign, at $40,000. It has been stated that she is one of the characters who would need to be made playable for the canon Skullgirls storyline to be revealed. Her homestage is Final Atrium, transformed from the catacombs of the Grand Cathedral.

She became the Skullgirl in late summer, meaning she has been the Skullgirl for the past few months, as the game takes place in autumn. She is currently in the "middle stages" of the transformation process of becoming a Skullgirl.

She wears a maid uniform that she found in the manor that served as the makeshift orphanage she and Patricia lived in. By wearing it, she appeared more grown up and the other orphans listened to her more.

Marie plays the piano. On the Skullgirls Original Soundtrack image Marie is shown doing a recital.

Personality
Not much is to say about her personality, as the Skullgirl she is very destructive however unlike past Skullgirls she demonstrates a much greater will and cares for the innocent as seen during Squigly's story where she uses all of her strength to save New Meridian and its civilians from the falling debris of the Medici Tower while on her rampage against the infamous Medici mafia. Her selflessness has been acknowledged by Leviathan who claims Marie's actions are "Rather curious for a Skullgirl".

Marie is usually seen to be calm and collected, often speaking with a gentle monotone voice, however she has an intense hatred for Lorenzo and his empire, often losing her cool when they are around. When she sees Lorenzo fleeing from her assault on their base she furiously demands that he face her and not ignore the countless lives the Medici's have taken over the years before declaring that she will destroy him, thus making it her personal mission to eradicate the Medici's for their evil deeds. Marie also mentioned that she only became the Skullgirl to challenge the corruption in their world and realizes there is an even greater monster that binds her to its will.

Marie is also a very determined boss.

BackstoryEdit
Marie hails from an area outside of the Canopy Kingdom known as No Man's Land, a wasteland that used to be a country but fell during the war with the Canopy Kingdom. Along with her friend Patricia (who would later become the Anti-Skullgirl weapon Peacock), Marie was orphaned during the war and forced into slavery by a group funded by the Medici Mafia.
