Pyrrha/Pyrrha Ω

**Pyrrha Alexandra** (ピュラ・アレクサンドル, *Pyura Arekusandoru*; Greek: Πύρρα Αλεξάνδρα) is a character in the *Soul* series of fighting games, making her first appearance in *Soulcalibur*, in Sophitia's ending and again in *Soulcalibur III* (in Tira's default ending). However, she made her first playable appearance in *Soulcalibur V* as the deuteragonist of the game, with her brother, Patroklos, being the protagonist.

In*Soulcalibur V'*spromotional material, she is referred to as **She Who Fights Destiny**.

In *Soulcalibur: Lost Swords'* promotional material, she is referred to as **The Bringer of Woe**.

**Pyrrha Ω** (ピュラ・オメガ, *Pyura Omega;*Greek: Πύρρα Ωμέγα) is a fictional character in the *Soul* series of fighting games. She is the alternate version of Pyrrha with a different moveset, but still containing moves from her original moveset. She makes her debut appearance in *Soulcalibur V*.

## Personality

Pyrrha seems weak willed, reluctant to fight her opponents. On occasion, she even seems to regret winning (she cries after the battle, saying *This... can't be my fault!)*. The way she fights combined with her quotes make her participation in the battles look very forced, which is unlike any other character in the game. This is due to her having grown up being seen as a bad omen. She taught herself to avoid conflict and apologize even as others turned their back on her. She has a sweet, somewhat fragile and sad personality. Her gentleness is reminiscent of Sophitia when she was young, who later on became tougher because of the turmoil and her involvement with the swords.

## Fighting Style

Pyrrha's moveset is heavily based on her mother's and aunt's style (she also has moves that involve use of her buttocks, like Sophitia's Bottoms Up, and Cassandra's Hip Charge), however with her original moves, it's strongly suggested that Pyrrha has little to no experience in battle. This is most visible in her stance, her guarding stance and her clumsy throws, which are causing a lot of commotion in the community. This is unlike any other character in the game, since all of them are either martial artists, trained warriors, or practitioners of a self-created style. Also, like the rest of her family, she isn't the best at ranged combat. Despite these problems, she is generally considered as a high tier character.

## Critical Edge

**Trinity Strike**

Pyrrha will shy away from her opponent and say "I can't!" — once again symbolizing her hesitance and unwillingness to fight. She then stabs her foe thrice with her sword and begs them to "please stop!"
Pyrrha's Critical Edge is considerably low on damage compared to other finishers and is unable to lead into combos. However, this attack benefits from being a combo finisher for her strikes that send the opponent into the air. Such as the "Seraphim Meteor" "Jet Stream Rush" "Ascension" or even the "Plasma Blade."

Her Critical Edge also has a Guard Impact which activates if the opponent steps and attacks her.

## Weapon Arts

**Unveiled Persona:**This Unblockable Attack once belonged to Pyrrha Ω and now it is turned into a Break Attack, which always leads to a Guard Burst if the opponent is guarding. At first, there's an animation, in which Pyrrha swings her sword and draws the shield closer to her face, saying "Please, go away", and then she delivers a blow. The attack is followed by a red mist covering the ground, sometimes it appears shortly after the blow and even when the attack fails. The range of this Weapon Art is medium, the damage is not very serious. It's easy to create a combo with it, as it works nicely, when the opponent is on the ground, in the air, or standing still, and in any case the opponent will be stunned, enabling you to add some hits. But its main drawback is that it can easily be stopped by the coming attack right after the animation, so you'd better not use it as a starter, to be on the safe side. As it can only leave the opponent slowly falling to the ground in the stunned state or lying on the ground stunned, wall combos can't be started by it, but it can be performed several times in a row. Although, only after performing the first Unveiled Persona on a not-stunned standing opponent, you'll be able to create a combo on a heavily stunned enemy on the ground after the second one, otherwise the second hit will undo the stun.

**Evangelic Fate:** That's Pyrrha's most damaging version of Angel's Strike. The move hasn't changed at all since *Soulcalibur V*, except that now at its very beginning Pyrrha's in sequins of respective color, her sword shines blue during Angel's Strike and then it has one additional hit, when Pyrrha starts to tear her sword in colored flame out of the opponent, saying "I'm...sorry!", whereas her regular Angel's Strike attack with just input is always followed with a yellow flame. So there are three hits in this attack, though her movements haven't been altered. In case the opponent is guarding, it will be punished the same way, as her normal Angel's Strike attack. If the full Weapon Art is performed successfully, it will be still impossible to create a combo after it or to make the opponent hit the wall. However, it is extremely useful in combat, due to several facts. Firstly, it has an incredibly long attack range. Pyrrha pushes forward in the strike, reaching the opponent even when he's far away. Secondly, it starts so swiftly, that the opponent doesn't stand a chance to stop it. In spite of not being followed by a Guard Impact, as her regular Angel's Strike in *Soulcalibur: Lost Swords*, it always hits the opponent, if he's not in a guarding state at the moment of the Weapon Art activation. At last, it can still deal some damage, when the opponent is in the middle-air or lying stunned on the ground. Under these conditions it will have the same effect, as her just input version of Angel's Strike, but will be more damaging. When this occurs, you'll be able to add another Evangelic Fate on the opponent of the ground as a combo, but only once. This can be very helpful, when you're running out of time, since more than a half of total damage of this attack accounts for the first hit. It can turn into an endless combo (until you run out of Weapon Arts of course) with the help of Twin Step Somersault. If performed on the standing opponent, the first strike will stun him, though when it hits in mid-air, the enemy won't be stunned. Sadly, it fails on lying idly opponents and when it is performed on a standing opponent during his last Soul Burst (if he has only one, than it will work the same way) and the first Evangelic Fate's hit leads to a Soul Break, then Pyrrha will simply take out her sword with a sigh without performing the rest of the Weapon Art.

**Angel Ascension:** This is a mix of Sophitia's Angel Press and the second part of Pyrrha's Seraphim Meteor, which is a Break Attack. The first strike knocks the opponent down to the ground and the second, which is about twice as damaging as the first one, makes him fly. During the attack Pyrrha says "Please, stop!". The first move has a rather short range, while the second is a fair mid-range attack. The combination doesn't stun the opponent, enabling you to do serious damage by following combos. It starts quickly enough to catch the opponent with the first strike in the air whenever possible, but it's a shame, the range won't let you do it sometimes. It perfectly works on the stunned opponent as well, but the first attack misses in case he's stunned on the ground. Despite a quick start, it can be interrupted by the opponent's attacks. If the first attack misses or the opponent is guarding, the second strike is performed anyway, but most of the time it is side-stepped, and you are punished. It's a piece of cake to trigger the Weapon Art in the middle of a combo, so there's no need to start with it. By the way, the first knocking attack can make the opponent hit the wall, if caught while standing, but the second one, in contrast to its *Soulcalibur V* version, will never cause a wall hit. This attack provides a great combo opportunities after it, although using Guardian's Judgement, which is most commonly used after Seraphim Meteor in *Soulcalibur V*, isn't a good idea already, as its second strike tends to miss in mid-air.You can also repeatedly use this move one after another, but it's important to wait until the enemy falls on the level where the first hit will get him and still without touching the ground, which is not the simplest thing to do.

**Guard Ascension:** This is her single Ascension attack with some new changes. The movement itself is the same, there's no animation added, and Pyrrha says "Fall!", as during this attack in *Soulcalibur V*. But now the opponent flies up high in front of the character, not behind her as usual. That provides good combo possibilities both before and after the opponent hits the ground. In addition, the move is effective in mid-range, as Pyrrha steps forth during it, there are no more sidesteps. Feel free to activate it randomly, as under no circumstances it can be stopped by the opponent's attack. And yet, it starts too slowly to continue a combo with it, only few moves of her can be turned into a combo by this Weapon Art, e.g. Elk Strike and counter version of Reverse Mirage. It doesn't hit the opponent of the ground either. After the move the enemy will never be stunned or hit the wall, and this attack can hardly be used to continue a wall combo, but at least, you certainly won't be punished, if the opponent guards against it. It can be perfectly used several times in succession with the same opportunity to extend a combo at the end.

**Trinity Strike:**That's her Critical Edge from *Soul Calibur V* with some extended features. There are three stabbing hits, with the last strike is the most damaging one and the second hit is a bit weaker than the first one. During it Pyrrha says: "I can't... Please stop!". It doesn't stun the enemy and it has middle range. Now there's no the slightest chance of being interrupted by enemy's attacks after activating it and actually, this is the only new feature added to this attack. It can pretty easily extend a combo, even a wall combo, but there's nothing to be added after it's performed. It still can't hit enemies on the ground. If the entire move misses, only the first hit is performed, but if it's blocked she'll strike three times and then she can be punished after the third one, so it's still unsafe to use it whenever you like. The first strike delivered to a standing opponent can cause a wall hit, but in this case the rest of the move can miss. The most enjoyable and unusual use of it in *SoulCalibur: Lost Swords* is after the move called Twin Step Somersault, which is not damaging itself, but throws grounded opponents in the air. However, if the distance between you and the opponent is too big, the second stab may miss. If that happens, the third strike will not be performed. Unfortunately, it may miss not only when the enemy touched the ground, but also when he's in not high enough in the air.

## Physical Appearance

Despite being the older sister of Patroklos, Pyrrha's appearance is more reserved and youthful than her brother. She bears an uncanny resemblance to her mother, Sophitia. Pyrrha is quite beautiful, with shoulder-length blonde hair, green eyes, pale skin with rosy cheeks, pink lips, small freckles and a blue ribbon on her right side of her head. She wears an elegant white dress with long leather brown and white boots, a brown shirt and gloves. Overall, her outfits seem to follow a chained-heart theme as both her 1P and 2P costumes have several (real or stylized) chains as well as stylized hearts on it. This becomes most obvious with her 1P costume's armlet, which shows a heart in a birdcage, surrounded by chains. The same pattern is recurrent in Pyrrha's 2P costume's skirt.

## Appearance

Her appearance is pretty much the same as her regular form's - with much darker colors of black with red and without her accessories, like her hairpin. She also has a deformed right arm, much like Nightmare's but to a lesser extent, with a glowing eye on her forearm. This arm possesses five fingers, unlike Nightmare's, which has only three. Her eyes have dark red sclerae and yellowish orange irises. Her hair is a little darker than Pyrrha's. Even though she is a malfested, her skin is not pale like Tira's, for example, and remains the same after the transformation. Her second outfit is just a black and blue with yellow colors palette swap of the first outfit but her deformed right has a darker red color. After the events of the story, Pyrrha's eyes return to normal though she retains the transformed arm.

## Personality

The malfested Pyrrha is much less reserved, and becomes very bitter when Patroklos rejects her. She is also more prone to anger and roars and shouts during her intros and taunts. She also shows a cheerful glee towards hurting others, mainly during her grapples where she giggles slightly or laughs manically depending on the throw. While she is easily drawn toward Soul Edge, eventually her love for her brother enables her to override the evil sword's will. She is able to chip away the crystal that Soul Calibur created to imprison Patroklos, eventually saving him. With this, Pyrrha blossoms and gains a sense of courage and a stronger-will.

## Fighting Style

Pyrrha Ω uses the modified version of Sophitia's main moveset, along with a few of Cassandra's attacks as well. She lacks the hesitance of her original form, most likely due to the evil sword's influence. Instead she is much more violent and brutal in her actions. While her stance is simliar to her mother's, she is leaning slightly forward, almost as if she is becoming more feral and beast like. However, Pyrrha Ω appears to have different animations on her "strike" moves depending on how she countered. Her attacks become more powerful while landing clean hits despite not having the best reach. The key to using Pyrrha Ω is to memorize both Sophitia's and Cassandra's moves. In the hands of an expert player, she can pack quite a powerful punch.

## Critical Edge

**Omega Therion**

Pyrrha Ω stabs her opponent in the guts, lifts them in the air, stabs them deeper and creates an explosion that sends the opponent into the air, landing on the ground.

In her first appearance, she was weak and scared to fight. But as soon as she changes into Pyrrha Ω, she becomes rude and sarcastic who wants to see her opponents suffer.

## Trivia

### General

* Pyrrha Ω's Soul Edge has two eyes (one on the sword and one on shield); other characters' Soul Edge only has one eye or none at all.
* Interestingly, Pyrrha loses her freckles when she becomes malfested.
* Pyrrha Ω is one of the three characters of the *Soul* series to have a demonic arm, the others being Nightmare and Necrid.
* In this form, Pyrrha is known as the "Crimson Despair", in contrast to Nightmare being known as the "Azure Knight". However, she seemingly doesn't stay under Soul Edge's control long enough for many to find out about her existence.
* Pyrrha Ω's fighting stance is almost identical to the one Aeon had in *Soulcalibur III* and *IV*.
* She is also the first canon female wielder of Soul Edge in the series as all the others are male.

### *Soulcalibur V*

* In the Story Mode, Pyrrha transformed into Pyrrha Ω when Patroklos was in danger of being killed by Nightmare, after all the death she witnessed, her body was finally ready to accept Soul Edge, just like Tira wanted.
* The names of her attacks are based on the seven deadly sins (Envy Heel, Twin Step Sloth, Pride Stream, Lust of Babylon, Greed Escutcheon, Wrath Twister, Gluttony Satellite) as well as symbols of retribution (Erinyes, Nemesis Step). Most of her attacks are also direct references to Greek mythology (Phobos Strike, Deimos Strike, Styx Shower etc.). Additionally ,many attacks that she borrows from Sophitia and Cassandra have their names altered to fit her better ; examples include: Iron Butterfly to Iron Wasp , Shield Nova to Dark Nova , Lodestar Strike to Wayward Star Strike , Angel's Exile to Nemesis Zapper , etc.
* Her titles in Quick Battle are *Soul Successor*and *Point-Blank Fighter*. She is very quick to side-step and evade the player's attacks. A strategy is required to defeat her and earn the title.
* Weirdly in the ending, after Soul Edge and Soul Calibur are destroyed/sealed/another soul embrace, Pyrrha Ω's arm is still in the demonic form and does not change back to normal. This is focused upon in the scene when she begins to extend her deformed hand to Patroklos, then recoils, only to have Patroklos take her hand regardless. It may be implied that this is a permanent affliction, due either to her blood having Soul Edge's influence since birth, the shard of Soul Edge intentionally placed inside her by Sophitia, or a combination of the two.
* Pyrrha Ω is the second character in the series to use Soul Edge for good. The first being Algol.
* Despite of their rather close relationship and the fact that Tira created Pyrrha Ω, they don't have any exclusive dialogue during fights, except for Tira's taunts.
* When freely customizing Pyrrha Ω, she appears not to have her demonic arm. Oddly enough, she still keeps her normal hairstyle with her ribbon accessories.
	+ However, when equipping her dress **Woeful Aketon** as a Character Creation part, the demonic arm is featured as a part of it.
* Pyrrha Ω's clothing set for Character Creation has Woeful set as the prefix (ex: Woeful Skirt).
* Pyrrha Ω is often seen holding her head in pain, this could be due to Soul Edge's influence on her which also explains her taunts and lack of win poses.
* Pyrrha Ω's theme "Adorned with Evil" is the "chaos" version of Pyrrha's theme "Wings of Sorrow".
* Pyrrha Ω's 2P color has a similarity color to Sophitia's *Soulcalibur III* 2P outfit.
* When a custom character uses the Pyrrha Ω's fighting style, they oddly only have one intro pose and win pose.
* When color editing Pyrrha Ω and copying the original Pyrrha's color scheme, her 1P lacks the shades of brown colors while her 2P is close to having the same (to Pyrrha's colors) but her outfit lining on her aketon shares and conflicts with the skirt design colors.
* Pyrrha Ω's move Nemesis Strike (ATK Throw) begins with the same animation as Sophitia's Twin Angel Step Painful Fate (ATK Throw), but ends with the same animation that Sophitia had when she would Auto-GI horizontal attacks with her El Fortune counterattack in *Soulcalibur*and *Soulcalibur II*and that Cassandra had when she would Auto-GI horizontal attacks with her Holy Purification attack in all her appearences.
* In Story Mode, Pyrrha Ω can only be playable once (And wielding the Omega Sword & Elk Shield) but oddly, uses Pyrrha's voice except its echoed similar to the custom character's malfested voice pitch.
* Oddly, Pyrrha Ω uses Soul Edge and Elk Shield in Story Mode, although in other modes, she uses Soul Edge sword and shield form.
* It is unknown why Soul Edge did not consume her soul after Nightmare was defeated, seeing that Pyrrha would have been the perfect host for Nightmare's rampage.

## Relationships

* It was Sophitia who had embedded the shard of Soul Edge into Pyrrha Ω's body when she was still a child. Her motives for doing this are unknown, though it could be that she was influenced into doing so in order to keep her daughter alive.

* If you look closely at Pyrrha's hair accessory, it is similar to Cassandra's shoulder piece and ribbon in *Soulcalibur IV*. However, it is much smaller.
* Pyrrha is wearing a cuff-link that bear the same symbol as Sophitia's belt accessories from her *Soulcalibur IV*1P costume*.*However, it is much smaller.
* Pyrrha's primary costume in has many similarities to a bonus costume that was meant for Cassandra in *Soulcalibur II*.
* Pyrrha's theme music title "Wings of Sorrow" is a likely reference to the themes of Tira and Sophitia from previous games, "Wings of Despair" and "Wings of Faith" respectively.
* Pyrrha has the most unusual *victory* poses. Notably, she will say *"My head! It hurts..."* and faint, she will start crying saying *"This... can't be my fault"*. At times she will also say *"Not my fault... You brought this on yourself!"* and run away.
* Prior to Pyrrha's unusual victory poses she also has a few unusual intros as well, when she will say "I have to fight" as she timidly walks back shaking her head in disbelief.

* Pyrrha's 2P hairstyle is similar to Sophitia's 1P hairstyle in*Soulcalibur IV* and she is wearing a crown of thorns.
