Darli Dagger

Darli Dagger is a heroine in the Samurai Shodown video game series, originally appearing in Samurai Shodown (2019). She is a mighty sailor who save the life of many.

Overview
Initially, the team originally intended to include the feudal Japanese firefighter character Hikeshi on the roster, but the team could not make this concept work. Nobuyuki Kuroki said: "Although that original concept had an interesting visual design, we felt it was a bit too difficult to convey the nuances of the design to a global audience."

Instead, Kuroki and his team came up with the idea of a carpenter who used a huge saw blade as a weapon. "Giving a large saw to a muscular male character didn't feel distinct enough, which is why we decided to make the character a powerful and strong-willed female with African roots, a region not usually represented in the Samurai Shodown series". In these details, character designer Yumi Saji presented Darli, a leader in the all-female carpenter group.

History
A shipwright who has mastered the use of various tools. Darli was washed ashore in the island from an early age, where the carpenters taught her how to make things, and the pirates taught her how to protect herself and survive. She is currently building a ship in the island's workshop that is said to be unsinkable with her comrades.

Personality
Darli appears to be strong willed, not backing down from any opponent and she is VERY confident in building an unsinkable ship.
