Robo-Fortune

**Robo-Fortune** (JP: ロボ・フォーチュン), stylized as **R. Fortune** in-game, is a robot created by Brain Drain in the likeness of Nadia Fortune.

## General Information

Robo-Fortune was confirmed to be a playable character after the Keep Skullgirls Growing! donation drive surpassed $725,000 in donations. She was originally slated to be released in late 2014 following the releases of Beowulf and Eliza.

### Personality

Robo-Fortune is a robot who is very loyal to her creator Brain Drain. Although she displays nonsensical behavior from time to time, she is a deadly force to be reckoned with when the situation calls for it. She also displays some doubt for her creator's plans since the Skullheart will return no matter what happens to it.

## Character Basis

### Name

Nadia Fortune's surname name but with "Robo-" at the front.

### Design

Robo-Fortune is of a likeliness of Nadia Fortune in both persona and appearance. Her arms, legs, head, and other body parts are cross-taped where they are removed (Fighting and also for easy pack-up and travel) and basically is Ms. Fortune if she was robotisized.

Robo-Fortune's eyes shine like headlights in front of her, casting light onto her opponent as well as the stage.

## Abilities & Fighting Style

As a robot, Robo-Fortune has many different utilities that are used to eliminate her opponents. They range from lasers cannons, extendable and rotatable limbs from her body, giant chainsaws, and much more. She is able to move fast on the ground and can double jump, but is unable to air-dash like her non-mechanical counterpart. She can also eject her head from body and a new one will come in place of it. Only three heads can be out; simply making a new head will cause an old one to disappear. She can use the heads as torpedoes that have homing capabilities, land mines, and missile launchers. If Robo-Fortune performs her taunt successfully, the number of missiles launched will increase. These weapons can be used for zoning-related purposes.

Robo-Fortune's blockbuster Systemic Circuit Breaker is her detonation mode where she can move faster and there are different properties for some of her attacks. She damages herself after the countdown occurs. If the attack is successful in damaging the opponent, they will be caught in the blast, allowing her additional time to continue her attacks. Her other blockbuster Magnetic Trap allows her to attract any airborne opponent to her so she can slam them into the ground. If the player chooses to just reel them in, they can let go of the kick button before they reach the magnet and continue with a combo.

## Trivia

* A caricatured version of Robo-Fortune appeared in a fan-made video about the Skullgirls' character fundraising campaign. The voice actress of Ms. Fortune, Kimlinh Tran, contributed her voice to the video.
* Her Story Mode ending with the giant Robo-Fortunes is a parody of the God Warriors in the introduction of Hayao Miyazaki's *Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind*.
* Robo-Fortune's Level 3 Blockbuster 'Systemic Circuit Breaker' is a reference to either Getter Robo's Musashi, who uses the Getter's core to sacrifice himself and destroy the Dinosaur Empire, or the final episode of Gunbuster, when Gunbuster's heart is ripped out and used to detonate a black-hole bomb. The way it functions is also a reference to Robo-Ky's "Gen-KY Lovers" overdrive from the *Guilty Gear* series.
* When using one of Robo-Fortune's Samus-based palettes, her "Systemic Circuit Breaker" will have an additional transparent yellow explosion effect added to it, referencing the Power Bomb introduced in *Super Metroid.* Additionally, when wearing the "Gravity Suit" palette with "Systemic Circuit Breaker" active, Robo-fortune will glow in rainbow colours instead of merely orange, referencing when Samus uses the Hyper Beam at the end of the game.
* In one of Robo-Fortune's hitstun animations, the "!!!!" on her bangs will turn into "!?!!".
* Robo-Fortune is the only character in the entire playable cast to lack an introduction trailer.
