Description

Setsuka (SP2/DLC11) VS Amy (SP1/DLC4) Difficulty: Hard
Setsuka (雪華) is a character in the Soul series of fighting games.

Setsuka crossed the sea to the continent on the other side. With surprisingly little difficulty, she picked up on the trail of her master's killer, Heishiro Mitsurugi. It seemed the man had left stories in literally every single town he passed through, and now he was making his way west for a showdown with Nightmare, just as he had years before. But one thing displeased Setsuka. Those whom she told of her quest for vengeance all told her the same thing. "Give it up! You're no match for that man." Indeed, the rumours surrounding Mitsurugi defied reason. Not only had he never lost a duel, but in wartime, he would offer his services as a mercenary, deliberately joining outnumbered forces in order to face as many foes as possible.

"No matter," Setsuka thought. If Mitsurugi was looking for strong opponents, all the better for her; she would happily rise to the challenge. If one thing still made her uneasy, it was that she would have to surpass her master to overcome Mitsurugi. The blade that was her master's legacy always found its target; she felt confident in that. But had she surpassed him? Setsuka could never know that for sure. "Then I must become stronger," she thought. And so she did. By putting faith in herself, Setsuka was putting faith in her master as well, and gradually her cloudless conviction translated into peerless skill with a blade. Each slash took her a step closer to the divine speed her master must have once sought.

Physical Appearance:
In her debut appearance, the designers of Soulcalibur III intended to present Setsuka as a unique woman reminiscent of a flower by emphasizing the shape of her silhouette and her glamorous kimono.[1] To represent her Western origin and Eastern upbringing, Setsuka's appearance has a constant east-meets-west theme. In all of Setsuka’s incarnations, she has been depicted as wearing a kimono or a similar robe.

Her first design, as seen in Soulcalibur III, was similar to the Japanese courtesans known as Oiran, who wore cosmetics and clothing similar to geisha but tied their sashes in the front of their belts instead of wearing a backward obi. As part of her geisha theme, her hair is styled into a Shimada adorned with a gold kanzashi. She wears a red kimono that hang loose over her shoulders, as well as a pair of black geta shoes. As part of her east-meets-west theme, her design is also made as a reminiscent to The Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland. Her kimono also has a distinctive Griffin pattern that is seen more commonly in western cultures. Her Soulcalibur III design is notable for being the only time that Setsuka is depicted with black hair.

In Soulcalibur IV, Setsuka's design is given a little overhaul to more emphasize her samurai attributes. She wears a new white and red kimono with cherry blossom patterns that she wears on one sleeve fastened on the hip with a purple sash. Her right sleeve is let loose to allow her to draw her sword more quickly. She sports a new kitsune tattoo on her right arm. She retains her black geta shoes from the previous games. Soulcalibur IV marks the first time where Setsuka is depicted with blonde hair (which is her canonical natural hair color). Her hair is styled into a simple ponytail and adorned with a floral hair clip, which evokes her east-meets-west theme.
