==Il personaggio==
I disegnatori di Soul Calibur 3 intendevano presentare Setsuka come una donna che ricordasse un fiore, enfatizzando la forma della sua silhouette e del suo affascinante kimono<ref>http://www.1up.com/features/game-sciii</ref>. In tutte le sue incarnazioni, Setsuka viene sempre raffigurata indossando un kimono o un vestito simile. In Soulcalibur III è simile alle [[Oiran]], che vestivano in modo simile alle [[geisha]]. Uno dei calci di Setsuka si chiama "Oiran kick".
Ciò che giace nella sua anima è la ''devozione''.
==Biografia==
Setsuka non è nata in Giappone e presenta le caratteristiche delle donne europee. Tuttavia è cresciuta lì, ed è sempre stata guardata con disprezzo a causa del suo aspetto. Scappata di casa fu presa in custodia da un uomo che la chiamo Setsuka (fiore di neve). Il suo tutore lavorava come guardia del corpo e insegnò a Setsuka le tecniche che usava per proteggere i suoi clienti, e di conseguenza per autodifendersi. Il tempo trascorse e Setsuka crebbe, diventando una bellissima donna, imparando ad ignorare coloro che continuavano a guardarla con sdegno, non lasciando più dubbi in se stessa.
<!--
The designers of Soulcalibur III intended to present Setsuka a unique woman reminiscent of a flower by emphasizing the shape of her silhouette and her glamorous kimono.[1] In all of Setsuka’s incarnations, she has been depicted as wearing a kimono or a similar robe. Her first design, as seen in Soulcalibur III, was similar to the Japanese courtesans known as Oiran, who wore cosmetics and clothing similar to geisha but tied their sashes in the front of their belts instead of wearing a backwards obi. This similarity was referenced in one of Setsuka’s kicks, “Oiran kick.”
At the 2005 Tokyo Game Show, Setsuka was considered a fan favorite due to her lightning-fast attacks and her unusual appearance for a fighting game character.[2] Her gameplay is largely centered on fast attacks and combos that overwhelm the opponent, making her capable of lunging at top speed to access ranges she normally would not be able to reach with her weapon alone. Although her attacks, when used without any accompanying assaults, are deceptively weak, Setsuka can deal a great amount of damage if her abilities are maximized. However, she was criticized as being too difficult for inexperienced players, since her combos tend to be hard to execute properly.[3]
What lies in her soul is Devotion.

BiographyEdit
Setsuka was not a native of Japan. She had pale, milky-white skin, glossy brown hair, a chiseled face and hazel brown eyes. Those around her shunned her since she was young; she was looked with disdain because of her appearance. Without a family to turn to and exposed to such hate and violence, she finally ran away from her home. Young and alone, she wandered to a city where a man took her in, and named her Setsuka (Snow Flower).
Her caretaker worked as a bodyguard in the region. He taught Setsuka the technique he used to protect his patrons, and it would eventually become the way she protected herself, but it was the joy she felt when he praised her that made her devote to the training. Time passed, and Setsuka grew into a beautiful woman. She learned to ignore those who still looked her with disdain, letting nothing trouble her.
One day, her master entrusted her with a letter, whose destination was far away. It would take her many months to travel there and back. Her master saw her uneasy look, and reassured her that her home will be always there for her. Setsuka left and, after a long journey, found the man to whom the letter was addressed. The old martial artist ran a dojo in a small village, and asked Setsuka many times to stay and train there, but she refused his invitation and started her long way home.
