Squigly action portrait by oh8-d5w82lg

Sienna Contiello, more commonly known as Squigly (JP: スクィグリー), is an undead girl, kept sentient thanks to her family's Parasite, Leviathan. Her parents were Roberto and Selene, the latter of whom was a previous Skullgirl.

Personality[]

Squigly is graceful, calm and well-mannered, but tough and determined to complete her mission. Her past experience with a Skullgirl gives her a unique perspective and a greater understanding of the situation over most. She is particularly close to her parasite Leviathan who has been by her side especially since the day she died and was revived by her mother. If it weren't for him, Squigly wouldn't be able to think for herself as one of the Skullgirl's undead minions.

At one point, she was a fan of Eliza's performances before finding out about her true nature in the ladder's story.

Backstory[]

Squigly is the last "surviving" member of the Contiello, a famous line of opera singers and long-time clients of the Medici family.

Fourteen years ago, tragedy befell Squigly’s family when the Medici Mafia came close to obtaining the Skull Heart. Lorenzo's top assassin, Black Dahlia, was ordered to murder Squigly and her parents by the Mafia - the very people who seemed to be some of their family's closest allies. It was during this incident that her mother had made the wish to bring back all the Contiello back to life, becoming the Skullgirl. Squigly would have been one of her minions if her father did not have Leviathan bond with Squigly as his new host. Going to Medici Tower, she then met Annie, Big Band, Panzerfaust and Deep Violet. She reluctantly agreed to help fight her parents. Upon succeeding, she and Leviathan fell "dead" once more due to the Skullgirl being gone. Big Band and Panzerfaust both agreed to keep the tale of what Squigly did secret.

Lorenzo organized and attended the funeral of the Contiello himself, but it was during this time that he stitched Squigly's mouth together, in an attempt to hide his role in the fall of her family.

Squigly was not resurrected during Queen Nancy's transformation into a Skullgirl, as the Queen was away in another land at the time and her powers did not extend back to the Canopy Kingdom's dead-and-buried.

Fast forward to the present: Bloody Marie's emergence has awoken Squigly from her long sleep. As part of the Skullgirl's undead legion, Squigly should have become nothing more than a mindless servant of the pale maiden. However, thanks to the powers of her Parasite, Leviathan, she is spared this fate.

Having been passed through the Contiello family for generations, Leviathan is refined and dotes on Squigly like her father and previous host did. This long familial history has made Squigly's bond with Leviathan deeper and more fundamental than that of most Parasites, and allows them to work harmoniously both in and out of battle like synchronized dance partners. Their unique circumstance also seems to have given them abilities beyond this world, as well.

Story[]

After reawakening in New Meridian, Squigly sees Marie attacking an airship containing a fleeing Lorenzo Medici with part of a building. Her musings on Marie's apparent desire to protect the innocent bystanders while focusing her rage on the Medici Mafia were interrupted by the arrival of Parasoul and the Black Egrets, who (somewhat correctly) identified her as one of the Skullgirl's minions. After fighting Parasoul off, Squigly fled the scene, but not before using an apparition-like copy of herself to suggest that the Canopy Kingdom princess focus her attention on Marie and her active minions.

After making her escape, Squigly noted that her powers seemed to have become stronger since she last used them, which Leviathan admitted was a sign of his imperfect ability to block the Skull Heart's influence. Squigly assured her Parasite that he was doing an admirable job by simply allowing her to live after death, but then discovered - much to her horror - that someone had sewn her mouth shut during her "sleep". Realizing that the Medici were to blame, Squigly and Leviathan set off to find Lorenzo and exact vengeance for the insult.
