Viola (Soul Calibur)

Viola is a somewhat new character in Soul Calibur V. The reason is because there are rumors specualating that she is actually Amy from the previous Soul series. It has been said she is travelling with Z.W.E.I. Viola suffers from amnesia and does not remember her origin or past life.

Appearance
In her debut appearance, Viola is a young woman with red eyes and white curly hair. The purple dress she is wearing has a similar silhouette to Amy's dress in Soul Calibur IV. and also seems to be gothic lolita inspired, however the influence isn't as obvious. Viola's laced stockings seem to have a moth trapped in a cobweb pattern. Over her body, she is wearing an aubergine-colored hooded cape and roses are a recurring motif in her costume. Overall, her outfit is a fairly generic rendition of the typical Red Riding Hood costume in a different color scheme.

Story
In the heart of a bustling city, Viola quietly plied her trade. She wouldn't stay there long—she didn't stay anywhere long; fortune-telling can be a dangerous occupation when you actually tell the truth.

The harsh truths of Viola's predictions always led to hatred and resentment, so she lived as a nomad, traveling from one city to the next. She refused to follow custom and simply tell her patrons what she knew they wanted to hear. Her own memories were so barren that she couldn't empathize with other people�they didn't even feel real to her. The one exception was  Z.W.E.I. They were kindred spirits, he said, both of them blessed and burdened with inhuman powers that forced them to journey through life alone. As traveling companions, they made for an odd pair: a werewolf and a fortune-teller, both with pasts shrouded in mystery. Their journey would continue for some time, until Viola's lost memories returned...
