PEACOCK

Peacock is one of the original eight playable characters in Skullgirls, standing out as being one of the few zoners in the game, and was among the first characters ever conceived by Alex Ahad. Her homestage is Lab 8.

Peacock is capable of aging. Some of her parts may need to be re-fitted because of this.

Peacock took up smoking after her transformation. They are imaginary cigars that are created in a similar manner to her other summons, and don't seem to have the same negative side effects as normal ones.

Alex Ahad has stated that Peacock will never stop believing in imaginary friends.

Peacock's favorite television program is "Annie: Girl of the Stars". She is shown to own merchandise from the show as she is seen wearing Sagan slippers while in her sleeping attire.

Nothing sates Peacock's boredom more than a good cartoon and fighting. Brash, combative, and impatient, Peacock is easily the most outspoken member of the Anti-Skullgirl Labs. Peacock is also, for the most part, optimistic and light-hearted, and considers imminent threats more of invitations to brawl. Her tendency toward violence is a reflection of both her tragic past and near-death experience as well as the cartoons she cherishes.

While it has been stated she has a damaged psyche, Peacock does not attack people out of sheer randomness or without provocation. Although she often acts confrontational to fellow ASG Lab 8 members, Peacock still very much considers them family, and will go to great lengths to protect them from harm. Dr. Avian was particularly close to Peacock, and his death sent her into an outrage to search for his murderer. She also gets along well with other Annie fans as shown by her interactions with Aileen in Annie's story.

None, however, are closer to Peacock than Marie Korbel, her one true friend from her past in no man's land and the Skullgirl she is tasked to destroy.

Her arsenal consists of two synthetic parasites, the Argus System and the Avery Unit, and her "gang", which includes Avery, Andy Anvil, Tommy Ten-Tons, George Bomb, and Lonesome Lenny as well as a variety of modified objects and weapons taken from Lab 8.

The Avery Unit has the power to summon objects and weapons from lab 8 and gained the ability to distort reality as a side effect of Peacock’s insanity. She can’t create things out of thin air, but rather modify Lab 8’s range of specialized arsenal. Her power is still growing so she may be able to summon more things in the future.

The Argus System is composed of her arms and also function as her eyes, the "arm eyes" can be detached and can float around as well as shoot Z-Rays at the precise wavelength needed to disrupt the skullgirls essense.

Peacock's dialogue and animations reference multiple cartoon eras, but chiefly feature golden age of animation era cartoon violence and slapstick.

Name Her true name is Patricia Watson, while she herself came up with Peacock. The word "peacock" is the more commonly known name of the peafowl, but is actually the term for the male bird.

The name Patricia is derived from the Latin word "patrician" and means "noble". Watson is a patronymic surname meaning "son of Walter". It should be noted that Walter means "ruler of the army", which accurately describes her relationship with her gang.

Being once close friends, Marie continues to address her as Patricia. Her gang typically refer to her as "boss".Nothing sates Peacock's boredom more than a good cartoon and fighting.

Character Basis

Backstory Once a war orphan slave named Patricia, Peacock’s body was gruesomely mutilated by slave traders that captured her. She was rescued by Dr. Avian’s Anti-Skullgirls Labs, and rebuilt with a reality-defying arsenal of biomechanical weaponry: the Argus System augmented her body, and the Avery Unit gave her access to unprecedented weaponry.

Alas, they couldn’t do anything for her mind: Peacock’s damaged psyche and abiding love of cartoons shaped her new “toys” into a terrifying gang of cronies, who she has no qualms using to paint the town red… with blood. Terrifying as she is, she may be the kingdom’s best bet against the Skullgirl.[3]

Patricia once lived in Rommelgrad, when that country got turned into no man's land she ended up in a makeshift orphanage along with Marie (it's unconfirmed wether they knew each other beforehand), which was originally a nobleman's house. Having to make do with what was available, both girls used to dress in maid outfits that they found within the house. At some point after that, they were captured by slave traders, but because Patricia was too defiant to be a slave, after she helped Marie escape she was mutilated as an example to the others: Her eyes were gouged out, and she was also maimed.

One year prior to the events of Skullgirls, Lab 8 teamed up with Lab 0 and the Last Hope to infiltrate the Medici warehouse said to be containing Rommelgrad's refugees. Although Valentine and the rest of her gang safely rescued the refugees, there was very little Valentine could do to heal the injuries done to Patricia's body and was even willing to abandon her as a casualty of war. Big Band, however, believed that Dr. Avian would be of help and took the girl back to the Anti-Skullgirl Labs. The doctor informed him that Patricia would adapt well to her new eyes and that she would be walking in no time. Patricia became insistent on becoming an ASG soldier after the impression left on her by Lab 8's team. Despite that, Avian was wary about
