We need a male duelist or fix Fiora's personality and VO
Because she really feels out of place. Her quotes are absolutely senseless and have nothing to do with her story. It makes me really upset, because I really like this kind of fighting style. As example, one of my favorite duelists is Raphael Sorel from Soul Calibur.
Raphael, the young master of the Sorel family, grew up with the rapier and medicine as his playmates. His cool, unemotional demeanor created many enemies, but his quick and precise decision-making and execution skills solidified the foundation of his family amongst the nobles. Unfortunately, Raphael was cast out one day when he made a critical mistake; during the Evil Seed incident, he had killed a noble in self-defense: a noble that had long supported their family. Outraged by this, his own family cast him out, and even aided the town in the pursuit of Raphael. Raphael hid himself in an impoverished town to escape from his pursuers. There he met a little girl named Amy, who hid the weakened Raphael from his enemies. For the little girl, helping Raphael was only a simple deed motivated out of spite for the soldiers. For Raphael, however, it marked the first time he owed his life to someone else. He felt emotions that he had never experienced before, and Amy became an irreplaceable presence in Raphael's life. Convinced that the chaos of the war was no place to live a meaningful life, Raphael took Amy and left the poverty-stricken town. But even with the new surroundings, he could not get Amy to open her heart to the world. One day, in the library of the mansion he acquired under dark pretenses, Raphael found a letter with references to the Evil Seed. It wasn't long before he made the connection between Evil Seed and Soul Edge. What if such a sword were thrust into the hands of the pathetic nobles? It would all be worth it if the petty, war-mongering nobles could be eliminated to secure a meaningful future for Amy. But in order to accomplish his goal, Raphael needed Soul Edge; he was determined to obtain the sword by any means necessary.
Does it remind you of anything? Exactly. But in a better and more interesting way. Raphael's character, which could be either the reference for a future duelist or Fiora's rework, was quite awesome. You could easily feel for his noble cocky persona, he had lots of charisma. If Fiora is "Ha, kneel before my french accent, I'm so cool!", then he could be described as "Shall we dance while you bleed?". http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/soulcalibur/images/5/5f/Raphael_Soul_Calibur_V.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20111020165646
