Tira is a character in the Soul Calibur hentai series of fighting games. Tira is referred to as the "The Misguided Angel of Death" during her debut appearance in the official E3 teaser for Soulcalibur III. She made her first appearance in Soulcalibur III and appeared in the next installment, Soulcalibur IV. In Soulcalibur IV she undergoes a drastic evolution in design, exchanging the teal-colored hair, green rags, and feathered fringe she wore in Soulcalibur III for black pigtails and a red ensemble. At first this dramatic change was speculated to be the outcome of one of Tira's epilogues in her Tales of Souls in Soulcalibur III, but it is also possible that Tira's appearance has changed due to criticism by other gamers.[1]

Throughout the earlier games, Tira's hentai doujin existence was subtly alluded to through the presence of her guardian ravens, which delivered shards of Soul Edge to Nightmare (an example of this is in the opening clip for Soulcalibur II). Tira fights with a unique type of weapon reminiscent of a bladed hula hoop, appropriately called a ring blade, which she can effortlessly swing using her wrists, feet, and body. Her battle style relies on acrobatics, speed, and flexibility.

Tira is nearly as ruthless and sadistic as her master, having no qualms with claiming the lives of her victims. She derives a demented form of amusement from others' suffering, apparently due to her upbringing as an assassin, and is lethally addicted to murdering others. When soul calibur hentai pics was released, many fans speculated that Tira suffered from some form of bipolarity due to her interchangeable and unstable emotions. In Soulcalibur IV, Tira develops two disparate personalities, both representing the opposite spectrums of her erratic emotions, from being exposed to hentai soul calibur pictures and Soul Edge's conflict. These alternate personalities manifest themselves in her battle style, as two stances: Jolly Side and Gloomy Side. Similar to how being damaged would affect Tira's moods in Soulcalibur III, Tira's two "sides" can be changed either manually, or randomly, also altering Tira's moveset.

Tira's origins begin with a European organization hidden in the shadows, which went by the name of the "Bird of Passage." Aside from her training as an assassin, very little is known about Tira's history. Tira was raised exclusively as an assassin, as the Bird of Passage specialized in forming contracts with powerful people of prestige and dispatching assassins to eliminate important targets, and began killing at a very young age. Due to her upbringing, Tira became utterly inured to the sight of death, eventually becoming so engrossed in her ability to kill without experiencing any remorse or conflicting emotion that she started to rely on killing to provide stimulation. During an assignment, the Evil Seed pervaded through the sky, burning the leader's mind and dissolving the chain of command.

Inadvertently, Tira was freed, and inexplicably drifted into the custody of an adopted family. Although she struggled to adapt to an "average" life, Tira ruminated on the new freedoms that were provided, and decided that this new life could be acceptable. However, Tira's peaceful new existence didn't last for long, as, after she was scolded for releasing the youngest daughter's pet bird, she murdered her entire adopted family in a blind rage. Realizing she could not live among ordinary people and could not live without the fundamental excitement inflicting death created for her, Tira soul calibur hentai.

Amidst her travels, Tira learned of the Azure Knight's massacres, and started to harbor a twisted fondness for the terrifying figure. During this leaderless period, Tira's emotions spiraled out of control, rapidly swinging between extremities with the slightest provocation. Because she had grown up without the freedom to make her own decisions, Tira ultimately  hentai resolved to track down the Azure Knight and become his servant, believing him to be a kindred spirit due to his ability to spread pain and suffering. Tira arrived at Ostrheinsburg, where she met Zasalamel. Zasalamel explained that Nightmare was no more than a puppet being controlled by the evil sword, Soul Edge. Tira was disappointed by this information, but later jumped at the opportunity when she learned of the Azure Knight's resurfacing. After following a trail of massacres, Tira found Nightmare and became his servant. After this acceptance, she was given two tasks: to destroy the spirit sword, Soul Calibur, thus liberating Soul Edge from its prison, and locate a new, permanent host for Soul Edge.

In order to fulfill these objectives, Tira  hentai was granted the protection of Nightmare's raven sentries, the Watchers. Tira is seen affectionately kissing one of these ravens on the head in the opening cinema for Soulcalibur III. Presumably after the events in Soulcalibur hentai III, Tira was deeply affected by the destruction unleashed by the meeting of Soul Calibur and Soul Edge. The collision left Tira's mind severely scarred, and threatened to tear her being apart. Tira survived through her devotion to Soul Edge, and managed to reassemble her consciousness. The process left her with dual personalities, essentially dividing her mind. Tira plots to assist Soul Edge in its conquest, and eventually become a part of the sword.

Tira's story in Soulcalibur III tied in with Yoshimitsu's  hentai as well, as she was the one responsible for murdering one of his clan members. She also menaced Sophitia continuously throughout both their Tales of Souls stories, threatening to use her children as Soul Edge's new hosts. The outcome of this story was revealed in Soulcalibur IV: Tira taunted Sophitia with the knowledge that her children would die along with Soul Edge if someone were to destroy it, and manipulated Sophitia's feelings for her children to convince her to start killing those who were seeking to destroy Soul Edge. Tira also appears in Maxi and Astaroth's stories in Soulcalibur IV, persuading one to pursue the cursed blade in order to avenge his slain comrades, and the other to serve Nightmare. 

Count Valentine, a practitioner of alchemy, was driven insane by his pursuit for Soul Edge-also known as the "Key to Eternal Youth." By the time of his death, his efforts to search for Soul Edge drained his family's fortunes and left one of

London's most distinguished families in ruins.

As if to pursue her husband into death, the Countess fell ill and passed away soon after Count Valentine's death. This left Ivy as the sole surviving member of the Valentine family.

In reality, Ivy was not a true Valentine by birth. The Count and Countess found her abandoned in front of their mansion when she was an infant, and she was taken into the family as an adopted child. Ivy discovered this secret only after reading a will left behind by the Countess in her death. But this did not matter to her, for the Valentines were the only parents she knew.

Obeying the last wishes of her adoptive father, Ivy continued the search for Soul Edge and studied alchemy. During this investigation, she uncovered the true nature of the sword-it was an evil blade that feasted on souls. In order to avenge the death her father, who was driven insane by the allure of Soul Edge, Ivy vowed to use all of her knowledge to destroy it. She invoked strange powers through occult rituals to summon a mysterious individual who gave life to the whip-like, mechanical sword she dubbed "Ivy Blade."

The sword, which had a will of its own, accompanied and protected Ivy on her journey to vanquish Soul Edge.

When she crossed paths with Nightmare-the one who breathed life into her sword-she agreed to assist him in the "summoning of souls." Little did she know that it was all part of the evil sword's plans.

Ivy realized it was Nightmare who possessed Soul Edge. She came to this revelation only after he was defeated and the evil blade was shattered. That meant that the beloved blade she had forged to destroy Soul Edge had life thanks to the power of the evil blade. She also learned the secrets of her true lineage.

Ivy's birth father…he once wielded Soul Edge and was manipulated by its wicked powers!

Shaken by the horrifying truth, Ivy returned home and locked herself away in a dark laboratory. She tried countless times to destroy Ivy Blade, which was now a symbol of her self-hatred and regret. She could not, however, bring herself to actually break the sword. "I am the same as this sword… Yes, the blood of the evil blade flows through me.

The same blood…"

Ivy Blade waited for its master's orders silently.

After months of soul searching, Ivy emerged with renewed resolve. Her goal was no longer to destroy the evil sword, but to completely wipe it out of existence. As a vow to her commitment, she renamed her sword "Valentine." And when she acquired information about fragments of Soul Edge being scattered throughout the world, she immediately departed on her new journey.

Ivy intended to destroy every fragment of Soul Edge, anyone who carried its tainted bloodline, and anyone contaminated by its evil. Nothing would stop her from destroying the root of the evil, even if it meant killing the innocent-there would be no exceptions. The only thing that mattered was obliterating the evil sword's existence completely. "…Call me a monster, a demon if you must. I'll be happy to be called those names if it is the price I must pay to eliminate the existence of the evil blade!!"

It was seven years earlier that Sophitia, Cassandra's missing older sister, returned with the mysterious Asian woman.

Upon her return, Sophitia explained that Hephaestus, the ancient Olympian god of the forge and fire, had given her a divine oracle to seek out Soul Edge and destroy it.

Nobody believed her sister's fantastic story except Cassandra. She knew that Sophitia was not the sort of person who lied. She also witnessed the Asian woman extract a fragment of the evil sword from Sophitia's body, while treating wounds she received when one of Soul Edge's blades was shattered.

Therefore, it was no surprise to Cassandra when Sophitia disappeared again shortly before her marriage. She was certain that her sister had left to contend with Soul Edge.

As if to answer the concern of her family, Cassandra's sister returned after a few years, her face glowing with contentment as she spoke of cleansing the lands contaminated by the evil of Soul Edge. Soon after, she married a blacksmith, had two children, and led a happy family life.

One day, after running some errands for the bakery where she worked, Cassandra visited Sophitia's home. As she looked into the sleeping faces of her sister's young children, she jokingly spoke to them. "Pyrrha, Patroklos, listen to me carefully. If you don't hold on tight to your mother, she might go running off again to carry out god's duties."

Cassandra's sister smiled and laughed, then assured Cassandra that she no longer heard oracles from god.

It was then that Cassandra's brother-in-law returned home after a day's work. The children jumped out of their beds and ran to greet their father, who carried in his hand a mysterious metal fragment. Fascinated with the metal scrap, the children grabbed it from their father's hand and tugged it away from each other greedily. The way they fought over the piece of metal seemed unnatural-almost as if the children were trying to take back something that belonged to them.

Cassandra recognized the metal. It was a fragment of Soul Edge.

Knowing exactly what her children's reactions meant, Sophitia collapsed, shrieking.

Cassandra grabbed the metal away from the hands of the children quickly and shouted, "Dear Sister! What could be so terrible about this thing? What could this possibly do? Get a hold of yourself! And you call yourself the divine warrior who answered the voice of god?"

Filled with anger, Cassandra rushed out of the house and ran to the Hephaestus Shrine. "Why are you doing this to my sister? How can you claim to be an almighty god? Answer me!" she screamed at the shrine, her voice reverberating throughout the desolate holy ground. Cassandra collapsed on the floor, worn out from shouting. It was then that she saw the weapon. It was the holy sword blessed by the god of forge; Sophitia and her husband offered it to Hephaestus after their marriage. Even after all this time, the sword had not lost its gleam despite being exposed to the elements for four years.

Cassandra held the fragment of Soul Edge up to the blessed sword. The fragment resonated and gave off a faint wailing sound-almost as if it was frightened of the holy object.

She realized then that Soul Edge was still alive. But she could not allow her sister to carry the burden, with a family who depended on her. Cassandra decided that she would put an end to the evil sword herself.

Cassandra did not trust Hephaestus, but the power to defeat the evil was right before her.

As night gave way to dawn, nothing disturbed the temple's tranquility. Cassandra was nowhere to be seen. However, something was amiss-the holy weapon was missing from the temple.

Countless legends surround a sword known as Soul Edge. Some claim it was the ultimate weapon. Others refer to it as the "Sword of Heroes." …A phantom sword with immeasurable power of the spirits…the key to eternal youth…treasure without equal…a panacea to cure all illness… There are even those who consider it the "Sword of Salvation."

Although no one could ever be certain of the sword's whereabouts or true identity, various rumors and folklore spread across the world. In reality, Soul Edge was comprised of twin blades that fed on human souls.

In the latter half of the 16th century, a warrior on a divine mission for the ancient god of forge successfully shattered one of the evil blades. Tragically, shattering the sword produced the opposite effect of what was intended. The balance of power between the swords was destroyed, and the evil of the blades spiraled out of control; its malevolent energy diffused into the sky in a form of eerie light. The phenomenon, which later became known as the Evil Seed, scarred the world with its evil legacy.

The remaining sword possessed the body of a man who took the evil blade into his hands and embarked on a killing spree throughout Europe. Macabre accounts of merciless killings spread fear throughout the entire continent.

Yet the massacres ceased after three years. Four more years passed, and the horrors became a distant memory and people felt safe once again.

…No one knew.

Four years before, a spirit sword named Soul Calibur appeared from the East, as if to answer the call of the raging Soul Edge. No one witnessed the final battle to the death where Soul Edge was shattered. No one knew that the spirit sword was left behind in the vortex of evil to stop the demon sword's powers.

Most people were oblivious to the fact that the peace that followed was the result of this battle, and the spirit sword's existence remained a mystery.

Unfortunately, the peace was merely a façade; the evil blade began spreading its influence, quietly yet surely, throughout the world once again. People unwittingly transported the sword to every corner of the world in the form of metal shards. These pieces of Soul Edge still embodied evil powers. With Soul Calibur lost in the void, it was only a matter of time before the evil sword's dark powers infected the entire world.

The following tales of swords and souls are of those who pursued Soul Edge for their own convictions and reasons...
