Amy (エイミ, Eimi) is a character in the Soul series of fighting games. She made her first appearance in Soulcalibur II in the opening video sequence. She then appeared as a playable bonus character for Soulcalibur III with a moveset identical to the rapier discipline used by custom characters. In Soulcalibur III: Arcade Edition, she is included as one of the main characters. Later in Soulcalibur IV, Amy became a main unlockable character with her own unique fighting style though it is shared with Scheherazade, one of the bonus characters. It is confirmed that she will return in the spin-off sequel, Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny.

In contrast to Talim, a young beautiful female character of similar stature. Even though she looks very innocent, Amy behaves much more ruthlessly probably due to the tragic loss of her parents and harsh childhood in poverty. She does not show remorse in her quick and deep slashes nor holds back her disdain toward her opponent. Her trademark Gothic lolita outfit matches her cold demeanor and pessimism. Raphael appears to be the only one that she cares about in the world. As gratitude for saving his life, he trained her to be a formidable wielder of the rapier. Amy makes a much more graceful execution of her strikes than Raphael. The two only have each other to trust in this world, so they share an extremely close relationship.

What lies in her soul is Loyalty.

[edit] Biography

In Soulcalibur II, Amy was a poor orphan who lived on the streets of Rouen. Her parents died of a plague that had spread across all of Europe during this time period. She had no other family to go to after the loss of her parents. One day she came across a man named Raphael Sorel, who was being chased by the local authorities. She hid Raphael from the soldiers who were pursuing him; though only in spite of the soldiers, who ran her poverty stricken town. As Raphael had never owed his life to anyone before, he felt he must protect and repay her. He felt something he never had before for Amy, so he took her in to his home and looked after her as his own daughter, to repay her for the kindness she had shown to him.

One day, Raphael returned from a vicious battle with Nightmare. Raphael collapsed before Amy's eyes and she nursed him back to health. Though the battle with Nightmare had been lost, strangely however the evil knight spared him. But wounded by Soul Edge, he had become infected by the evil seed, and by handling his blood, she was also infected. Their skin turned pale and their eyes shone red. They felt weak and sluggish by day, and a powerful thirst by night. Amy had always found it hard to open her heart to the world, but now she couldn't even try because she was too different from everyone else. She was no longer human. She went with Raphael to the castle he bought in Romania. She sat in a dim room seeing the torches and troops gathering there. Raphael left, saying he will be out for a while. He took care of the troops and the noises ceased. They eventually returned, but he didn't. He had left her. And now the noises and light spread violently in the world he made, bringing it to ruins. She stood up and went to the exit. She was bound to the words from those days and then she smiled. For it was her who must protect this world that Raphael created.

In Soulcalibur IV, peace had been restored at the castle, but Raphael did not return. Amy was fully aware that he was doing all of this for her sake. He wanted her to be happy. But Amy could not help but worry about her father. She wondered if he was still searching for Soul Edge. And if he was, how long will it take him to do so? Locking her feelings away where no one can find it, Amy leaves the castle.

In the Gauntlet mode of Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny, she first appears on Chapter 9-1, where she sends out her identical dolls to attack the player and company while they try to find her. She appears as herself on Chapter 9-3, where she fights the player herself.

[edit] Endings

[edit] Soulcalibur IV

Amy's Soulcalibur IV ending

With Soul Calibur in his possession, Raphael attempts to use it to create a new world for Amy and him. When nothing happens, Raphael kills his two servants, claiming that this world now truly belongs to only himself and Amy, judging that his servants should never have been here. As he laughs maniacally, Amy sneaks up from behind him and pushes him into the pit before him, with the phrase "RING OUT!" humorously appearing. The text-only epilogue then says And then, Amy and Raphael created their own new world...

  • Amy's ending is a parody of Raphael's ending, matching it almost exactly, except Auguste is replaced by Jacqueline.

[edit] Fighting Style

Amy's Vermillion Fang, one of the quickest unblockables in the entire game
Amy possesses a relatively large number of useful options in her repertoire of graceful, ballet-like attacks. Amy's individual strikes deal relatively low damage but they are speedy and mostly safe, so she can string together many small attacks that sum up to big trouble for an overwhelmed opponent. Although her throws deal a disappointing amount of damage, she can use her many low-attacking options to hit her opponents that block high too much. Her Crest Form special stance tech jumps and offers terrific okizeme options, which most notably include Vermillion Fang, one of the fastest unblockable moves in the entire game. She has pretty good range, since she tends to step forward a bit while landing an attack. Her biggest drawback is that her most damaging attacks tend to be easily side-stepped, leaving her in a helpless and perilous position. Also, she has one of the worst Ring Out games in the game. All things considered, Amy tends to do very well in tournaments and is generally regarded as a high-tier character.

[edit] Weapons

Amy's Graceful Cutter, one of her fast low options

[edit] Critical Finish

Amy Mirror Match Critical Finish
In Amy's Critical Finish, she rapidly stabs her opponent like Raphael's Unending Stings and pink rose petals appear when hit. After the second to last hit, she does a slow motion hit and the opponent is flung a far distance. After that, she says, "Pathetic." If she does this against Raphael, she will instead ask, "Does it hurt?"






[edit] Stages

[edit] Romanian Valley - Castle Siege (SC3)

It has been more than 100 years since Vlad the Impaler lead his army against the Ottoman Turks and crossed swords with the Sultan in order to protect this land and his home country of Walachia.

Located somewhere in the deep mists of the southern Carpathian Mountains, this castle was not originally designed for a battle of that nature, but it was now about to face exactly that. The army of the Duchy of Walachia surrounded the castle and, seeing that the master of the castle was not going to give up without a fight, began their attack.

No one knows why the national army initiated such a large-scale move, but the rumors say that a contagious disease that brings with it mysterious symptoms was spreading from beneath the castle, and the country had moved to destroy it at the source.

[edit] Wolfkrone Monument (SC4)

Not much is known about this stage aside from what can be construed from its visual appearance. The battle takes place on an enormous, circular platform, surrounded by wooden statues. Like the figures in a cuckoo clock, the statues are kept in constant, monotonous animation, playing music on their artificial instruments and dancing around the edge of the stage. Carousel horses hover behind the wooden statues, circling the ring. The stage consistently rotates. In the distance, the hills and mountains can be seen, along with (presumably) the Wolfkrone castle, and the enormous brass bells of a bell tower.
