Ashlotte Maedel (アシュロット・メーデル Ashurotto Mēderu) is a bonus character in Soulcalibur IV designed by guest artist Ito Ōgure. She is a creation of Fygul Cestemus.
Her weapon, named Krnielk, is an axe with a lance on one end and an axe-like blade on the other that resembles an iron maiden. Like all of the bonus characters, Ashlotte's moveset is recycled from one of the main characters'; she uses the same moveset as Astaroth.
What lies in her soul is Honesty.
Appearance[]
As a living 'Machine', Ashlotte's design focuses on her inhuman appearance with a heart like window in her chest. Her internal cogs and wheels are visible through this. She wears a bonnet-like hat with a red bow and wire halo that boarders her face. Her 'dress' appears to be made from several metal sheets covered by a crinoline. Beneath this is a white ruffled skirt and torn black tights with black strapped shoes. Her design appears to have a steam punk vibe to it, with the old world fashion combined with the mechanical.
Personality[]
Despite being a robot, Ashlotte has a very considerate personality. She seems outwardly kind and thoughtful, often assessing her opponent by asking them who they are or what they are afraid of. This gentle aspect of her persona greatly opposes her brutal strength and determination to destroy Astaroth at the request of her Cult. She will often utter phrases like "Poor thing..." and "How pitiful." before facing an opponent, giving a suggestion of empathy. Ashlotte will speak kindly to the opponent after defeating them with quotes like "Don't be too hard on yourself." and "You should rest for a while." again alluding to her somewhat gentle and caring side.
Her story mentions that she is a machine that can act and speak like a human but possess no true emotions. However, determination could be a trait applied to Ashlotte in her pursuit of Astaroth for the Cult. Although this was what she was created for. Overall, her kindness seems to be a mask which allows her to function like a normal human but her true motives are to hunt down Astaroth.
