Lala

"*We Dullahan have been called **Charon**, the ferryman o' the river Hades... or **Thanatos**, the God o' Death. That's how it's always been... and how it must always be... and yet... like Prometheus, exiled from the heavens... I find myself tempted to **break** a taboo and bestow upon a human that which should never be bestowed. As to whether it's the right thing tae do, I just...*"

*"If you die, your soul belongs to me. So once you do die... just leave the rest to me."*

## Voice Actor

### Japanese

Ai Kakuma

**Lala** is a Dullahan and the seventh resident of Kimihito's house. She is the second "D", which she initially denied, telling everyone she's merely there to warn Kimihito Kurusu of his impending death. She originates from the Monster Musume franchise by the manga artist Okayado, and her design is based off the anime series.

## Attributes

Lala is a regular-sized lightweight fighter who is the same size as Cloud or Link, while she is heavy as characters like Jigglypuff respectively. Her running speed would be as fast as Marth/Roy while her air speed is comparable to Cloud or Byleth. Her walking speed is relatively fast.

## Moveset

### Special Moves

* **Dark Slam (Neutral Special):** Lala swings her scythe up and over her head to charge up the attack, then on release, slams it into the ground in front of her to create a large, dark explosion. The move will activate automatically after be charged for a certain amount of time.
* **Huntress Of Death (Side Special):** Kneels on one knee and readies herself to charge forward. If an opponent comes in range, Lala will perform a lunging outward slash and proclaim either, "Taste my scythe!" or "No one escapes death!" . When fully charged, the slash is strong enough to KO middleweights at around 120%.
* **Guider Of Souls (Up Special)**: Jumps up high into the air to perform an upward slash, then swoops downward and ascends in a fast loop to perform a second upward thrust. The speed, range, and power of this move, as well as its follow-up potential, makes it one of Lala's best KO moves. Button mashing both increases the move's duration; however she can also be rendered helpless in midair.
* **Eye Of Balor (Down Special):** Uses her ahoge to sense an opponent, then teleports towards the direction inputted. She is granted intangibility during the move's execution (frames 12-39). Holding the attack/special button, however, will have her perform a very powerful slash upon reappearing (frame 34), at the expense of more end lag. The damage output depends on what direction she teleports.
* **Shepherd Of Lost Spirits (Secret Command Input 1):** Lala swings her hand forward, and a massive dark purple spark appears directly in front of her. It has a chance to instantly KO the opponent, with a higher chance for it to occur the more damage the opponent has.
* **Agent Of Death(Secret Command Input 2):** Spins rapidly to form a tornado around herself and slam into the opponent. Button mashing both increases the move's duration and makes Lala ascend slightly; she can also move left and right.

### On-screen Appearance

Lala stares at an opponent from across the arena. When a truck passes between them, she uses Eye Of Balor to warp onto the stage, holding a scythe in one hand and her severed head in the other.

### Taunts

Side-Lala's head falls off her body, causing her body to panic for a short duration.

Up- Lala preforms this pose while being surrounded by a dark aura:

Down-Wraps herself in her scarf and spins repeatedly (as if she is about to warp) while scoffing.

### Idle Poses

* Lala sharpens her scythe.
* Swings her scythe and clenches her fist in front of herself.
* Her head falls off her, but she is quick to catch it and places it back on her head.

## Victory

Theme: An electric guitar rendition of Saikōsoku Fall in Love performed in quintuple meter, similar to Meta Knight's victory theme.

### Poses

* Performs two slashes and then twirls her scythe, saying "This, too, was destiny..."
* Performs three slashes with her scythe, says "Your end is near...," then warps away.
* Warps into the scene and then spreads her scarf like a cape, saying "Ye need never fear the reaper..."

## Final Smash

**Angel Of Death:** When activated, Lala lifts her scythe, says "Know death's power!" (思い知れ, *You shall realize.*) or "Behold..." (見るがいい！, *Behold!*), and summons a black lightning bolt that creates a cross-shaped burst. If she traps anyone, she'll then proceed to slice the opponent at multiple angles, finishing with a final hit that launches the opponent sideways with a different camera angle if the attack was gained from a Smash Ball rather than through a meter.

## Alternative Costumes

1. Lala's default apperance.
2. Casual wear.
3. A skin based off the Dullahan from the Dragon Quest franchise.
4. Similar to above, but is in black and white.
5. Based off how Dullahans appear in Shin Megami Tensei/Persona.
6. A Halloween-based costume.

## Trophies

### Lala (Monster Musume)

There was once a girl who made a deal with the devil; now she is cursed to wander the earth as a Dullahan, carving a path on a hellish motorcycle and dispensing brutal retribution against evildoers. There is concern that she may not work well with others due to her ominous demeanor, but Kimihito seems slightly fond of her.

### Lala (Dragon Quest Alt.)

Ghostly knights with no heads who have hideous faces on their shields instead—a testament to their twisted mentalities. They are powerful indeed, with no weak points to speak of.

## Trivia

* Lala wields a whip in SSBU due to Dullahans in Irish myths using a whip made from a human spine.
* In the Monster Musume series, Lala apparently suffers from Chuunibyou where Lala often claims to be an agent of Death, referring to herself as both "Death Incarnate" and "The Huntress of Death". This is to keep people from believing she is an actual Psychopomp.
* Her Boxing Ring title is "Mysterious Herald Of Death."
