Grace originally wasn't meant to be in SCV, since Sophitia was absent. I tried giving her Pyrrha Omega's style, but she looked out-of-character with the hunched neutral stance, the psychotic head grabbing, the in-battle actions, and hanging over after winning. I would have given her Patroklos's style, but Ubasti already used it and I didn't want the characters to main the same style. I started using Cervantes and it seemed like a decent match for her (her presentation almost reminds me of Shura from SCIV). She uses the bland Femme Fatale voice like in SCIV, but it grew on me the more I heard it. This version of Grace also has a different face and skin tone compared to her SCIV counterpart (you'll see the differences). This new appearance suits her far better and helps make her look more Latin-Hispanic.

Abigail was created the moment I found out characters could have freckles lol. I made her as Hristina Veneva's younger, teenage sister, who doesn't have homicidal tendencies. I would have given her Astaroth's style, but she's nowhere near his height and I didn't want to deal with unnecessary whiffs and hitbox issues. I gave her Pyrrha's instead, which was pretty crazy because Pyrrha's movements and actions reflect perfectly on her character.

Lastly, there's Ubasti. She started in SCIV like the others, but was an unimportant bonus character with one outfit. She's now a full-fledged character. She used to be called Lucy, but I changed it, otherwise she'd have the same name as Lucienne. She's unique in that her 'cat persona' is the dominant form over her normal one and she doesn't use modern outfits as much as the other characters.
So yes, my thread is now exclusively female :p Seven characters in total.
