Ramlethal Valentine is a mysterious girl who suddenly appeared in the wilderness where Japan once existed. She shocked the world by declaring war on all of humanity, fighting alone with powerful magic and two giant swords. Although she lacks emotions and acts like a machine at first, she starts to develop feelings and a sense of self through her interactions with others, especially Sin Kiske. Now, she works for the Illyria Special Forces Brigade. Ramlethal’s journey is filled with battles, personal growth, and new friendships, making her one of the most complex and interesting characters in the Guilty Gear universe.
- Height: 167 cm
- Weight: 52 kg
- Birthday: June 3
Ramlethal Valentine has silver hair and brown skin.
She often wears a revealing outfit with a black cape, making her stand out in a crowd.
She rarely changes her clothes, but after being captured by Sol Badguy’s group, she is sometimes seen wearing more modest clothing that once belonged to Dizzy.
She carries bandages on her left hand and foot, which she received after being injured in a big explosion.
In Guilty Gear Strive, her uniform looks more like a military outfit, with a hat and cloak.
Though her uniform has changed, some parts of her outfit are still revealing.
Ramlethal Valentine acts very robotic at first and shows almost no emotions.
She sees herself as nothing more than a "tool" for her "mother."
At first, she can only answer with plain yes or no choices, and does not care about her own life.
However, as her story goes on, she starts to discover feelings deep inside her.
She tries to hide bad news and makes decisions based on what is useful for her. This shows she is developing a real personality, even if she does not realize it at first.
She finds it strange when others, like her sister Elphelt Valentine, show strong emotions.
Ramlethal’s hobbies are thinking about the meaning of things (though she once said she had no hobbies at all).
On October 21, 2187, at 12:12 pm, Ramlethal Valentine appeared in the barren lands where Japan used to be.
Without warning, she declared the annihilation of all humanity.
She is known as the “Valentine” who attacked the capital city of the United Kingdom of Illyria during the “Baptism 13 Incident” in Guilty Gear 2.
Though she is originally an emotionless destroyer, being captured by Sol Badguy’s team changes her fate.
She becomes involved in the events around them, even after her original mission ends.
Ramlethal Valentine fights with two large floating swords she controls in battle.
She also commands two familiars, black "Verfa" and white "Venus."
These two can fuse into a stronger form called "Lucifero."
Ramlethal has powerful long-range attacks and can control space effectively.
Her fighting style changed a lot between games:
- In Guilty Gear Xrd, she uses her swords for long-range attacks and combos. She must perform certain actions to build up energy for special moves.
- In Guilty Gear Strive, her moves have changed again. Sword placement and some throws are gone, but her new attacks make her more friendly to new players.
She is strong at keeping opponents away but weak in face-to-face fights.
Her defense is also weak, and she can be knocked out easily if not careful.
Ramlethal Valentine considers Elphelt Valentine her sister.
She is surprised by Elphelt’s emotional personality.
She grows close to Sin Kiske, who wants to make her smile.
Thanks to Sin, she warms up and eventually joins Sol Badguy’s group.
Sin introduces her to double chemical burgers, which become something special for her.
Later, she joins the Illyria Special Forces Brigade as a leader.
There are hints she may admire Leo Whitefang, but her feelings for Sin seem more like for a family member.
Fans often debate if Sin or Leo is the better match for her.
Declaration to Destroy Humanity
Ramlethal Valentine suddenly appears in a wasteland where Japan once stood.
She shocks everyone by declaring that she will destroy all of humanity by herself.
Attack on the Illyria Kingdom
She is known for the "Baptism 13 Incident," where she attacks the capital city of the United Kingdom of Illyria.
This causes huge damage and makes her a main target for the heroes.
Capture and Change
In arcade mode, she is the final boss.
In the main story mode of the home versions, Ramlethal is caught by Sol Badguy and his friends.
Though her original mission ends, she becomes involved in their adventures.
She starts opening up, especially after Sin Kiske tries to befriend her.
Finding Emotion and Friendship
Through her time with Sin and others, Ramlethal begins to develop her own feelings and learns about friendship.
She joins their group officially and develops a love for double chemical burgers thanks to Sin.
New Life in Illyria
In Guilty Gear Strive, she works as the leader of the Illyria Special Forces Brigade.
She is trusted with important missions and works alongside Sin Kiske, Baiken, and others to solve new problems.
She appears again as a boss in one of the extra story chapters.
Ramlethal Valentine appears in other games, like Tales of the Rays and Counter:Side.
She is a playable character in these games and keeps her signature moves.
Ramlethal often says, “Prepare to despair for the future!” This line became popular and is used in many fan works.
She also says, “There is no meaning,” after winning, and this, too, is a meme.
She rarely shows emotion, but there are a few moments when she reacts strongly—like getting hit hard by a wheelchair or losing her favorite burger.
Her theme songs include "Diva of Despair" (a surprisingly bright tune) and "Necessary Discrepancy" (which uses Latin and talks about feeling contradictions).
- “Prepare to despair for the future!”
- “There is no meaning.”
- “Maybe everything is important to me, but I still don’t know why.”
