One of the great things about Soul Calibur is how it allows, no, welcomes additional characters in its universe. Based on history with a good helping of fantasy, there’s plenty of room for the imagination. Here are my entries to the stage of history…
Shaana Meneghan
Age: 25/42
Birthplace: Scotland
Height: 171 cm
Weight: 64 kg
Weapon: Siegfried
Backstory (Soul Calibur III and IV):
Shaana was the daughter and only child of a wealthy trader with a highlander heritage, although now living on the southeast coast. Her mother had died in child-birth, and her father had decided to raise Shaana as his heir, despite local opinion that he should simply marry her off. He trained her from the age of ten in using the traditional claymore and took her with him on his journeys to the continent. On one of these journeys, when Shaana was fourteen, they were travelling by cart through the German forests when suddenly an arrow came flying from the bushes and embedded itself in the canvas just above her father’s head. Before they could react, more arrows rained over them, striking her father and the horse pulling the cart. The horse panicked and took off. The road was in very bad condition and a few hundred meters down the road Shaana was thrown off the cart. Half dazed in the long grass, she watched her father disappear before she lost consciousness.
