Valentine (バレンタイン, Barentain) is a character in the Guilty Gear series that appears specifically in Guilty Gear 2: Overture. She is a copy of Aria, who was one of the proponents of the Gear Project, and Frederick's lover. She has a personality of stone, speaking only when she explains her motives.

Character DesignEdit

Her style of dress is something similar to a Gothic type of style. She also wears headgear that resembles a pair of Bat's Wings. She also has two white antenae sprouting from the sides of her head.

PersonalityEdit

She corresponds to matters in a mechanical way, showing no signs of emotion or desire. Since there are no intonations in her behavior or in her speech, she is intimidating because it seems like a doll talking. She often mentions that she is "running errands for mother". Who "mother" is has yet to be revealed. However, when Sol and company pursue Valentine to the Backyard, she starts to become irritated of them, developing her first emotions in the process: frustration and rage.

StoryEdit

Guilty Gear 2: OvertureEdit

Valentine is the primary culprit behind the Gear sublimation in Illyria. She later leads her Vizuel army to attack the city against Ky Kiske's army. Her goal is to obtain the "Key", which are the Maiden of the Grove's cells, to open the Cube. Her assault caused a lot of casualties, but still she failed to find the Key she was searching for. However, when Sol and Sin return to Illyria to help the king, her backup plan is revealed: to take Sin's cells instead, as he is the offspring of Ky Kiske and the Maiden of the Grove. She succeeds in obtaining the Key and brainwashes Sin.

She used her Vizuel army to guard her while she was opening the portal to the Backyard, but Ky Kiske and his army arrived to defeat it. Sol and his company then pursued Valentine to the Backyard. When she realized that all her plans failed, she became frustrated and finally developed emotions. This sudden flow of emotions drove her into an extremely violent state, turning her into a fake copy of Justice. After being defeated in her Gear form, she tranformed in a gigantic fortress-like Megadeath Class Gear and the final battle started. When fighting Sol Badguy, memories of Aria manifested themselves as voices around her. She was eventually defeated by Sol, and remembered his real name, Frederick, and told him "it's okay", before fading away.

In the Epilogue, That Man says to Raven that millions of Valentines are being born each day.

TriviaEdit

• Valentine is the only character so far who is able to change her biological make-up on her own. From a Backyard Resident, she assimilates Sin's (Maiden of the Grove's) cells to transform herself into a Command-Type Gear.
• In the game, if Valentine is left idle, she and her balloon will chat.
