Soul Calibur 4 Tira

Tira is one of several unlockable characters in Soul Calibur IV, a fighting game developed by Project Soul for the Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles.

Tira fights with a ring blade, similar in appearance to a hula hoop. She swings it around her feet, wrists and body, and tosses it into the air with a fighting style reminiscent of juggling. Tira first appeared in Soul Calibur III as an assassin with the Birds of Passage. Her objectives are to destroy the Soul Calibur sword, releasing its hold over Soul Edge's body, and to locate a new host for Soul Edge.
