Tira (ティラ, Tira) is a character in the Soul series of fighting games. She appeared in the game Soulcalibur VI as a downloadable character. This marks her debut appearance in the new, rebooted Soulcalibur timeline. She is nicknamed Bird of Death.

Biography

Soulcalibur VI

Tira, an expert wielder of her Ring Blade named Eiserne Drossel, fights using her own Dance of Death style. Trained by the mysterious Birds of Passage group of assassins, Tira abandoned the group after its leader went mad. Alone and angry, Tira travels across the world, slaughtering any that get in her way – taking great pleasure in the trail of blood in her wake.

Physical Appearance

Tira is a teenage girl of average height and slender build. Her hair is multi-colored, the right side being predominantly black with the left being predominantly teal. Her hair is done in ragged, wild pigtails, giving her the impression of a harlequin. Her torso and face are also streaked with violet body paint.

Personality

Like in the original timeline, Tira uniquely suffers from disassociative identity disorder (multiple personalities) which manifests in the forms of Jolly, seemingly her original persona, and Gloomy, a persona that emerged when she killed her foster parents. While prone to bickering between themselves, they are both ruthless killers who enjoy the act of murder.

Jolly, as per her name, is the more exuberant of the two, perky and upbeat. Jolly finds it easier to blend in to society and more cunning, often planning out her kill and toying with her prey. Her voice in this state is higher pitched and prone to giggling.

Gloomy is the opposite, being callous, impatient, brutal and quick to anger. Gloomy prefers just to attack regardless of her target being isolated or with witnesses. As such, she tends to get the pair into trouble when she's unable to keep her bloodlust in check. In this state Tira's voice drops in pitch, becoming gruffer and more subdued. She dislikes being called Eiserne Drossel.

Both personalities also take a keen interest in Nightmare, enraptured by the destruction left in his wake.

Costumes

She wears a female version of the Bird of Passage's dress code: A light green torn shirt under a black cape with gold armor plates and purple accents with a matching skirt, green gauntlets, black torn shorts, and a pair of golden boots with a skull relief on the knees that end with a set of green feathers.
