Nami here! I have a question about characters who have multiple entities living in their bodies.
So Filia here is from the "Skullgirls" canon. Here's her wiki page, for reference. A long story made short, she's the daughter of an influential mafia member but at one point she woke up without any memories of who she was, where she came from and, to add to it, a second mouth protruding from the back of her head. This mouth is the result of a parasite named Samson merging with her for reasons unknown.
Just to clarify, here are some important descriptions about parasites:
« Parasites are entities in Skullgirls, defined as creatures that bond to a person's body, providing augments to their "host". Despite the name, they appear to form a symbiosis with their host, drawing nutrients from their bodies in exchange for acting as a means of enhancing their host's combat capabilities. » and « It is possible to remove a parasite from its host, however, Alex Ahad stated that if a parasite is removed from its host, both will die in the process. »
That being said, I imagine with Kyuubey's magic it wouldn't make much of a difference for Filia to come in alone, however, what I meant to ask is, would there be a possibility of Samson coming in with her? They're separate characters in the sense that they are separate entities - Filia was once a blonde 16 y/o schoolgirl and Samson is an old, very old entity once known as a "Theon"; however, with the reason that brought them together being unclear and with Filia relying on him for combat, along with the fact that, for all intents & purposes they do share the same body.
If she was approached by our (in)famous alien cat to make a wish but she decided that she'd make it only if Samson was allowed to be with her despite of it, because they've been together for a good while and she doesn't want him to die, would that be in any way feasible?
Her wish would be the result of her endgame timeline: to stop from turning into the next Skullgirl. In canon, the Skullgirl is a powerful female entity resulting from the wish of an "impure" woman being granted a wish by a mystical artifact called the Skull Heart which does its trick every seven years. This entity is controlled by an (un)Holy Trinity and is the bearer of chaos and destruction. In her ending, Filia, who had originally meant to wish for her memories back, instead wished for another character - Painwheel - to have a normal life again. While this would be a "pure" wish in essence, the Skull Heart twisted it because of Filia's misplaced guilt; she feels responsible for Carol-then-Painwheel's awful fate and seeks absolution from it. And though she seems to accept her fate (her descent into becoming the Skullgirl is shown to be slow and quite painful and it's canonly stated that both her and Samson's personality and appearance will change for the worse as it foes on), if she were granted the chance to prevent it, both for herself and for him, she would!
I was thinking that the response to her wish would be for Filia's body to essentially be "frozen" in time - think of something like Number Five from "Umbrella Academy" but with magic instead of science I guess. Which means she couldn't age, but also, well, wouldn't transform! And Samson would be there, since he was merged with her body at the time and it would be awkward to have her revert to blonde/"pre-Samson" Filia when they're both already turning into something else.
I uh. tldr Filia Medici has a parasite living in the back of her head and if he's removed they both die and also they're both turning into something evil that she's wishing they DON'T turn into but could she keep the loudmouth jackass that kicks people for her?
I think that's it /)_(\ posting it here in case it helps for future questions regarding this type of character!
