Character Bio

Sion Eltnam Atlasia is one of the newest characters to join the Tsukihime world. Her first appearance was the original Melty Blood (of which ACT Cadenza is just an expansion.)

Sion was once an attendee of Atlas Academy, a school for Alchemists. In the world of Tsukihime, this is akin to a magician of sorts. Sion advanced quickly at the academy. With her good looks, calculating attitude, and quick advancement, she found herself feared or hated by her peers.

Sion is an extraordinary woman, even for an Alchemist. She has the ability to see the thoughts of others, as well as briefly take control of their minds by using a special filament called “Etherite.” (This is what the thin whip she uses in combat is made up of.) The knowledge of how to use Etherite and control minds is a part of her lineage and was passed down by her parents. Sion also has advanced control of her own brain – she can “overclock” her mind to cause thoughts to move swiftly. She can also split her brain’s resources to perform up to 7 tasks in parallel. This makes her a dangerous woman, almost like a walking think tank – she can calculate and predict someone’s actions hours or even days before he or she actually perform it.

Sion, however, is cursed. She was bitten by the Vampire Warakia, and tainted with the Thirst For Blood. In the normal game’s storyline, Sion is trying to find a cure for this curse. However, what if Sion becomes too infatuated with her hunger for blood to think logically? This “what if” form of Sion is referred to as Sion (Tatari).

Character Strategy and Notes

Sion (Tatari) is primarily a gimmick character who wins off the basis of her air superiority with her Jump C, as well as several difficult to block frame traps involving knockdown into C Summon with followup options of low, overhead, throw combo, or Air throw as Anti Air. She's a fairly linear, good damage character that has seen some success in tournament play.

She is considered Middle Tier.
