Guilty Gear -Strive- — A.B.A

This fan-favorite returning fighter from 2012's Guilty Gear XX Accent Core R can enter her powerful Jealous Rage state by meeting certain conditions. She gains greatly improved movement during Jealous Rage, with different properties for most of her normal, special, and Overdrive moves. While she has shown to be profoundly jealous and belligerent at times, she can also be considerate and sympathetic towards others. Due to her upbringing in a laboratory, A.B.A is often shy and emotionally immature.

Her reluctant husband, Paracelsus, currently in the form of a magical battle axe which is actually named Flament Nagel, has brainwashed many, and led warriors to their deaths on the battlefield during the Crusades. The axe's thirst for violence can drive its wielder to fight until their bloody end, with no distinction between friend and foe. After the Crusades, he encountered A.B.A, accompanying her despite a seeming distaste for her constant advances. Throughout their time together, he has begun to change shape from an axe into a key. A.B.A has yet to notice the change in heart he's experienced along with this transformation. She now sets out on a journey to find a human body for her spouse – concerned about the recent changes to his appearance, she has pledged to uncover the cause.
