Biography

Luna was an 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, 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 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. Abelia Schillfelt (アベリア・シルフェルト Aberia Shiruferuto) is a fictional character in Namcos Soul Series of fighting games. ...


Taken prisoner after that, Girardot make 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 he/she could confront the emperor.


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


Weapon

-- Dystopia


A chinese blade used by Luna in her battles. It was her only company before her assignment to the Klessirpemdo. Dystopia also appears to be a sharp, lightweight blade so Guard Impacts are easier to perform and they also injure the opponent. The only drawback is guarding. Because Dystopia is a bit flat, Luna puts herself in small danger when it comes to guarding, which can be dangerous for her if she has a small amount of health.


-- Soul Calibur (Chinese Blade Model) This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ...


The spirit sword created to combat Soul Edge. Luna somehow obtained it and used it against the Main Character in her last battle against him, but even so she couldn't beat him. Later, she would give him the sword in order to defeat Soul Edge, wielded by Strife. Strife Astlar Grandall (ストライフ・アストラル・グランダール Sutoraifu Asutoraru Gurandāru) is a fictional character in Namcos Soul Series of fighting games. ...


Character Analysis

Luna uses a Create-a-Fighter Custom discipline, which lacks many of the options present in more developed Standard Character's movelists. Luna's style has quick pokes and attacks and somersault that confuses and tricks enemies at first. Some of her moves are borrowed mainly from Xianghua. Chai Xianghua (Chinese: 柴 香華 Pinyin: Chái Xiānghuà, Japanese: チャイ・シャンファ Chai Shanfa) is a fictional Chinese character designed for the Soul Series of fighting games. ...


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 works 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, a third possible costume for Luna is shown.
  • Luna is the 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 Xianghua.
