"You're certainly a handful. I shall remember your name, as you are the only one... who has provided a worthy challenge."
— Luna

Luna (ルナ Runa?) is a fictional character in Namco's Soul series of fighting games. She appears in Soulcalibur III's side-quest mode Chronicles of the Sword as the player's enemy and rival thorough the mode. She's also an unlockable Bonus Character in the main game. She represents the "Chinese Blade" Create-a-Fighter discipline.

Biography[]

Luna is a cruel orphan girl raised in the kingdom of Dalkia to become one of their finest soldiers. Due to her upbringing, she lost the capability to feel emotion, and was ruthless and merciless to her foes in the battlefield. She soon came to become the leader of Dalkia's elite, the Klessirpemdo, which she felt was her one and only family.

During the assault on the empire of Grandall, she followed Areon alone on their attempt at attacking the capital, but she found defeat against a young cadet of the empire. She retreated back to Dalkia. Luna would confront the Grandall armies in Dalkia's capital, then as a supporter of Maletta's armies, but she found defeat again and again. With her last chance to settle the score against him/her, Luna obtained, by unknown means, the legendary Soul Calibur, the sword she hoped would make a difference in their next confrontation in Dalkia's last defensive line.

However, even though Abelia Schillfelt was unsuccessful in defeating her elite unit, the Cadet was able to not only bring down the defenses, but able to defeat her as well. Taken as a prisoner after that, Girardot made sure neither she nor her unit would suffer any harm, and would later instruct her that, if he was killed in battle, she was to hand the spirit sword to the Cadet so they could confront the emperor.

In the Chronicle 19, making good on her promise, she joins the Cadet after lending them Soul Calibur.

Trivia[]

  • Luna's entire costume is made from Create-a-Fighter parts. She has no original parts or features.
  • In Chronicles of the Sword, Luna appears as an enemy in Chronicles 4 and 9, as a boss in Chronicles 6 and 11 and as a selectable ally for the player during Chronicles 19 and 20.
  • In one of Chronicles of the Sword's dialogues its revealed that Luna's mother is in fact Mooncalf, a vengeful assassin who struck down the Halteese Royal Family, which took Luna away from her and banished her from Halteese, and conspired with the Malettan officer, Hyle, to assassinate King Demuth of Maletta (a former member of the Halteese Royal Family). However, she was stopped by the Malettan officer, Kierkess, who tortured her until she revealed her and Hyle's plans. She was killed by Kierkess after this, and in her final breaths, she mourned the fact that fate did not allow her revenge and that she could not be with Luna. Sadly, Luna never learns of her true mother.
  • At the end of Chronicles of the Sword, Luna is shown to be wearing a white dress.
  • Luna is the Italian, Spanish and Latin word for "Moon", which fits with her mother's name "Mooncalf," and also explains why certain Chronicles in which Luna is fought have "moon" in the title.
  • Luna's Destined Battle during Quick Play is Chai Xianghua.
  • It is possible that you can re-create Luna in Soulcalibur IV and Soulcalibur V, however; replicating her hairstyle will prove to be difficult
  • Luna's costume strongly resembles Ivy's 2P costume from Soulcalibur.
  • During Chronicles 11, if Abelia encounters Luna under the players choice, a brief conversation is shared between them where Luna criticizes Abelia for her weakness and that she needed to rely on the Cadet and their unit in order to make it to Luna herself before the decisive battle load screen. Similarly, if Girardot encounters Luna he claims to want a favor and he asks if she knows a woman named Mooncalf. Luna denies this and wants nothing more than the fight to be had, accepting the challenge Girardot exclaims "En guarde!".
