Ashlotte

Ashlotte Maedel (アシュロット・メーデル) is a bonus character in Soulcalibur IV, designed by guest artist Ito Ōgure. She is a creation of Fygul Cestemus. Her weapon, named Krnielk, is an axe with a lance on one end and an axe-like blade on the other, resembling an iron maiden. Like all bonus characters, Ashlotte's moveset is recycled from Astaroth. What lies in her soul is Honesty. Ashlotte is designed as a 'living machine' with a mechanical appearance, featuring a heart-like window in her chest revealing internal gears. She wears a bonnet-like hat with a red bow, and a wire halo framing her face. Her 'dress' appears to be made of metal sheets covered by a crinoline, with a white ruffled skirt and torn black tights underneath, along with strapped shoes. Her design has a steampunk vibe, combining old-world fashion with mechanical elements. In her story, she was created to eradicate Astaroth. While she can speak and act like a human, she has no emotions. Her personality is very considerate; even though created to destroy Astaroth, she treats opponents kindly, often asking who they are or what they fear, uttering phrases like "Poor thing..." and "How pitiful." She also says things like "Don't be too hard on yourself" and "You should rest for a while."
