Feng (JP: フェン Fen) is a Dragon Empire migrant showcasing her acrobatic skills at the Cirque des Cartes. The pair of birds perched on her head are an enigma, summoned by a lucky mistake in geomancy. As much as her family in the Dragon Empire depends on her income, she worries what she and her friend Cerebella will be asked to do in the long run. She is described as "preoccupied", and has a tendency to hesitate.
Character Basis
Name
Feng's name come from the phrase Feng Shui, also called Chinese geomancy.
Design
Feng is a young asain girl, she has pale skin and a scrawny build. Her hair is black and white, with two bird-like entities on her head like ponytails.
Story
In Skullgirls Mobile, Feng appears in Cerebella's origin story as one of the three candidates for an important Medici mission, alongside Cerebella and Beatrix. While she passes the first test, she fails the second due to Beatrix's meddling. After being upset initially, she encourages Cerebella to beat Beatrix in the final test, but warns her not to become self-centered and spiteful in her quest for fame.
Cerebella's Story
Feng makes a brief appearance in Cerebella's story, talking to her friend after her latest performance.
Playstyle Speculation
As a graceful acrobat, Feng is able to use her ghostly bird friends to assist her in various ways. She can place them on the stage as focal points that can bend her jumps and aerial attack trajectories or open other high-flying movement options. Keeping them close would enhance her specials and supers, instead.
Gameplay Inspiration
- Okina (Last Blade series)
- Homing cancels (Arcana Heart series)
Trivia

- Feng has been confirmed not to have romantic feelings for Cerebella. Their relationship is platonic and she views Cerebella as a friend more than anything, similarly to the relationship of Minette and Ms. Fortune.[1]
