Alignment: Dark side
Height: 1.6 meters (5'3")
Weight: 43 kilograms (95 lbs)
Appearances: A relatively new character, Tira first appeared in Soulcalibur III. Her appearance has radically changed since her debut.
Whoa: Adding to her overall creepiness, Tira is protected by a flock of ravens called the Watchers. Caw!
Objectives: An impressionable, and insane, teenager, Tira has grown to admire Nightmare and his horrific ways. She wishes to serve this dark master.
Weapons: Tira's hoop-like blade, the Eiserne Drossel, is one of the most unique weapons ever depicted.
Tips and Tricks: Tira has two attack modes at her disposal, Jolly Side and Gloomy Side, which she swaps between at random when she gets hit or when she performs certain attacks. These modes have different sets of techniques, even having a few duplicates with slightly different properties. At a base level, Gloomy Mode is generally the stronger pick of the two, having a better variety of attacks that lead to heavy damage. However, many of these attacks absorb Tira's life when she uses them. This also happens in Jolly Side after certain attacks that have a chance to change to Gloomy Side.
Star Wars Grudge Match We'd Like to See: To find an opponent as crazy and fractured as Tira, you have to turn to the pages of the expanded universe. Alema Rar, the twisted Twi'lek from the Swarm War and Legacy of the Force series will do nicely.
