Background

Dizzy is a central character in the Guilty Gear series. A gentle and kind-hearted command-type half-Gear, she is the daughter of Justice, the Gear once responsible for leading a war against humanity. Unaware of her true heritage for much of her early life, Dizzy sought to coexist peacefully with both humans and Gears. In battle, she is protected by her sentient wings, Necro and Undine, who can shift forms and act as her guardians.

Following the events of Guilty Gear XX, Dizzy marries Ky Kiske and becomes the mother of Sin and Unika. She later learns the truth of her lineage, discovering that Sol Badguy is her father.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Dizzy's story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Background The circumstances surrounding Dizzy’s birth are largely unknown. What is known is that she is the daughter of Justice, born in 2177 while her mother remained sealed in a dimensional prison. As an infant, she appeared entirely human and was discovered by an elderly couple unable to have children of their own. They took her in and raised her lovingly for several months, until the villagers grew suspicious of her rapid growth and the sudden appearance of wings and a tail. Once her Gear-like nature was realized, the frightened villagers deemed her a monster and attempted to kill her. To keep her safe, the couple hid Dizzy deep within the Forest of Demons. They visited her for a time, but eventually their visits stopped, leaving Dizzy to grow accustomed to solitude. She later befriended a blind girl named Josephine, who believed Dizzy to be an angel. Dizzy allowed her to visit freely, though she warned her not to bring anyone else. In 2181, Josephine led a person called Kliff into the forest while fleeing from Venom, who sought to capture her as bait for Faust. After Josephine was injured, Dizzy and Kliff brought her to Faust’s clinic, where Kliff revealed their true name, Testament, and their identity as a Gear. Faust successfully treated Josephine and even restored her sight. However, upon seeing Dizzy’s inhuman features, the villagers set the clinic ablaze in an effort to kill her. Dizzy’s guardians, Necro and Undine, lashed out against them despite her cries to stop. Testament subdued her before anyone was seriously hurt. Distraught, Josephine struck Dizzy and called her a demon, ordering her to return to the forest. Dizzy departed in sorrow, unaware that Josephine later regretted her words after Faust consoled her. Guilty Gear X In October, news of Dizzy’s existence spread to the world, prompting the government to issue orders for her elimination. Multiple attempts failed, leading Ky Kiske to personally investigate the source of the leak. His encounter with Dizzy left him questioning his ideals of justice—Dizzy asked whether protecting one person always meant hurting another. Ky admitted that pain was part of human existence and doubted the meaning of power. Moved by his conviction, Dizzy wished she possessed the same strength of heart. They fought, and although Dizzy’s immense power overwhelmed him, Ky allowed her to escape when an angry mob approached. Following the incident, a bounty of W$ 500,000 was placed on Dizzy’s head. Testament fought off numerous hunters, but those who reached her found themselves defeated by Dizzy’s own power. Tired of constant pursuit, she wished to leave the forest behind. Before Potemkin could intervene, she was found and defeated by Sol Badguy, who mysteriously chose to spare her life. Soon after, Johnny discovered her and offered her sanctuary among the Jellyfish Pirates. Dizzy accepted and was welcomed aboard the May Ship, taking on domestic duties such as cooking and errands. Testament remained in the forest, while Jam Kuradoberi falsely claimed credit for Dizzy’s defeat, effectively removing her bounty—though not before some hunters continued to chase her unaware of the truth. Guilty Gear XX Weeks later, while aboard the May Ship, Dizzy was attacked by I-No and thrown overboard. She was knocked unconscious, allowing Necro to take control and rampage until Faust intervened and restored her to normal. In one version of events, Eddie attempted to seize her body under I-No’s orders but was stopped when That Man punished I-No, allowing Dizzy to reunite with her crew. In another, Dizzy defeated I-No but passed out, her guardians once again taking over until Sol subdued them. Upon awakening, she wept from a nostalgic dream, possibly of her parents, before rejoining her friends. In another path, she fought Bridget, cleared up the confusion about her bounty, and continued her journey. Later, Dizzy began questioning her identity and the reason for her existence. Johnny took her to see Testament, where she encountered a replica of her mother created by Crow of the P.W.A.B. The emotional resonance caused her to lose control of Necro and Undine. With Ky’s help, she regained herself and resolved to learn more about who she was. Testament, though distrustful of Ky and still resentful toward humanity, allowed Dizzy to go, believing that one day they might reconcile. In an alternate version, Sol aided her recovery, though she was later captured by Crow and A.B.A., who used her essence to create clones. Material Collection Eventually, Dizzy amicably parted ways with the Jellyfish Pirates and began living with Ky. While Ky worked as a director in the International Police Force, Dizzy managed their home and protected it when needed. Over time, the two fell in love. Though they could not legally marry due to Dizzy’s hidden identity and lack of records, Ky proposed, and they pledged themselves to one another. Their happiness deepened when Dizzy became pregnant, and under Faust’s supervision, she laid an egg—her unique Gear physiology shortening the gestation period. On May 31, 2182, their son Sin was born. While Ky adored his family, Sin grew resentful of his father’s absence, though Dizzy assured him that Ky was protecting others so their family could live in peace. When Sin was six months old, the Conclave pressured Ky into running for office by threatening Dizzy’s life. Distraught, Dizzy reached out to Sol for help. After a confrontation between Sol and Ky, the couple made the painful decision to entrust their son to Sol’s care for his safety. Guilty Gear 2 Years later, after Ky’s election as Illyria’s First King, mysterious Gear sublimations began occurring throughout 2185. Dizzy also began to fade in 2186, forcing Ky to seal her within the Thunderseal to prevent her disappearance. However, the process was rushed, leaving her in a suspended state he could not reverse. During an assault on the capital by the Vizuel, Ky revealed Dizzy’s condition to Sol, Dr. Paradigm, and Izuna. Paradigm determined she could be restored if Valentine were defeated but soon realized that Dizzy’s unique Gear cells were the key to entering That Man’s Cube. Though Paradigm suggested destroying her to prevent misuse, Ky refused, declaring his love for her. After Valentine’s defeat, Paradigm ensured that Dizzy’s condition would remain stable until she could safely awaken. Guilty Gear Xrd In 2187, with Paradigm’s help, Dizzy was finally released from the Thunderseal in time to join the battle against the Conclave’s attempt to resurrect Justice. Reunited with Ky and, after two long years, with her son Sin, she was overjoyed when he finally called Ky “Dad.” She later used her powers to overload Justice’s system during the St. Elmo’s Fire event, aiding Sol and the others in saving the world. Exhausted, she fainted, and both Elphelt Valentine and Justice were taken by the being known as “Mother.” The following day, Dizzy visited Ky as he examined the Thunderseal. They reflected on their first meeting, when they debated the idea of protecting others without inflicting harm. They sparred, and Dizzy won, remarking that she now carried a “chair” in her heart where Ky could always return. Weeks later, on November 20, she joined the battle to defend Illyria from invasion, helping Potemkin destroy antimatter Gears with her Gamma Ray attack. As Sol, Ky, and Sin faced Ariels and Justice, Jack-O’ Valentine merged with Justice to restore Aria Hale. When the fighting ended, Dizzy and Ky welcomed Sin, Elphelt, and Ramlethal into their home. As they discussed their future, Elphelt showed Dizzy a newspaper praising her bravery and calling her an ideal queen. Moved by the acceptance she once thought impossible, Dizzy tearfully embraced her new life. When the topic of family arose, she decided to call Sol “Father,” to Ky’s mild dismay—just as Sol arrived for a private talk with him. Guilty Gear -Strive Base Story Three weeks after the G4 Summit incident, Dizzy and her family finally experience a time of peace. During this period, she and Ky introduce Testament to their son Sin, as well as to Ramlethal and Elphelt, marking a moment of calm and familial unity. Dual Rulers Now officially known as Dizzy Kiske, her marriage ceremony with Ky is suddenly disrupted by Nerville Hammer, who secretly infects her with a Gear virus. Alongside this, a mysterious girl named Unika appears. When the infection causes Dizzy’s Gear power to spiral out of control, both she and Ky are sealed within the Thunderseal to suppress her unstable energy. In time, the conspiracy behind Nerville’s actions and his manipulation of Unika is uncovered—both are revealed to be pawns of a future version of Nerville himself. Unika eventually discovers that she is an alternate future daughter of Ky and Dizzy. When Sol uses a special bullet to suppress the Command Gear cells within Sin, it neutralizes the virus affecting all Gears, curing Dizzy as well. Freed from the Thunderseal, Ky and Dizzy reconcile with their daughter and stand by her side in the fight against Future Nerville. It is later revealed that in Unika’s original timeline, Dizzy had sacrificed herself to save a rampaging Sin after all their comrades had perished. In that timeline, Future Nerville abducted Unika and exploited her powers, using her to manipulate events across timelines through Axl Low’s time travel ability. After Future Nerville’s final defeat at the hands of Sin and Unika, Ky and Dizzy’s long-awaited wedding finally takes place. Though saddened that Sol could not attend, Ky reassures her that Sol continues to watch over her from afar. However, with encouragement from Vernon, Sol appears in person to witness the ceremony. Overjoyed, Dizzy embraces her father in tears as he fully accepts her as his daughter and finds peace with his past. Following the celebration, Unika embarks on her own journey, taking inspiration from her grandfather Sol and training as a bodyguard under U.S. jurisdiction. Post-Dual Rulers In the days that follow, Dizzy assumes the role of queen of a newly founded kingdom known as Vialattea, continuing to watch over her family and the world she once fought to protect.

Appearance

General Description: Dizzy is a young woman with a slender figure, long dark blue hair, and distinct heteromorphic features, including her large, mismatched wings and a black, salamander-like tail.

Facial Features: She has striking red eyes and long dark blue hair that extends down to her knees. She often decorates her hair with yellow ribbons tied to her ponytails, and in -Strive-, she styles it into a single large braid woven with yellow and white flowers.

Clothing/Outfit: In combat, Dizzy typically wears a black bodysuit with crossed belts covering her chest, exposing her midriff, and featuring white puffy sleeves. She complements this with a black choker, long socks with crossed straps, and white heeled boots. In -Revelator-, her outfit becomes more modest with a buttoned shirt panel and feather-like shoulder plates replacing the puffy sleeves. Outside battle, she has been shown in different attires across titles. In Guilty Gear X, she wears a black ankle-length dress with a low, white, laced neckline. In XX, she dons the Jellyfish uniform consisting of a sailor top, denim shorts, glovelettes, and an orange bandanna. She retains her white and blue ankle boots in all outfits. In -Strive-, as Queen Dizzy, her outfit changes completely. She now wears a long black dress with a high slit, paired with a white top that has kimono-style sleeves and a high collar. A black ribbon adorns the collarbone area, and her waist is belted with white straps decorated with black flowers. She wears uneven white stockings, black high-heel pumps, and long black fingerless gloves.

Special Features: Her right wing is dark green, and her left is white—manifestations of her guardians, Necro and Undine. She also has a black tail resembling that of a salamander, often tied with a yellow ribbon.

Personality

• Mature and Intelligent: Dizzy possesses a highly advanced mind, having matured faster than humans due to her half-Gear physiology. Her mental age far exceeds that of a typical child her chronological age.

• Gentle and Kind: She is naturally compassionate, honest, and pure-hearted, displaying a caring, motherly demeanor towards those around her.

• Nature-Loving and Nonviolent: Dizzy loves nature and generally avoids conflict, though she understands that destruction is a natural part of life and is willing to act if necessary.

• Cautious and Fearful of Her Power: Her immense strength and lack of full control over her guardians cause her distress, as she fears unintentionally harming others.

• Initially Distrustful but Open-Hearted: Early persecution by humans made her wary and isolated, but positive interactions with kind individuals helped her learn to trust and accept humanity.

• Family-Oriented: Dizzy has come to terms with her parentage, especially acknowledging Sol as her father, and has largely let go of past grievances regarding his absence.

Relationships

Ky Kiske

When talking with Paradigm, he starts getting furious when he implied he detained Dizzy or are eyeing her for her value as a weapon, claiming that she was never a weapon.

When Paradigm explains that Dizzy's life makes a threat to existence and that she must be killed, Ky refuses to let her die claiming he has fallen in love with Dizzy.

Helpers

Necro and Undine

• Description: Necro and Undine are Dizzy's sentient, shapeshifting wings, functioning as independent defense systems capable of acting without her direct command when danger is detected.
• Appearance: Normally appearing as a pair of angel-like wings—Necro black, Undine white—they can transform into humanoid forms that remain attached to Dizzy's back. In their humanoid forms, Necro resembles a male figure with light-green skin, skull-like face, glowing red eyes, and a black cloak. Undine resembles a water nymph or angel with long hair, green eyes, and a light-blue robe. In Guilty Gear -Strive-, both adopt a minimalistic style with black bodies, white robes or hair, and pronged halos, maintaining nods to their original colors.
• Personality: Necro is excessively violent and aggressive, reflecting Dizzy's instinctual defensive and offensive reactions, but shows concern for her well-being. Undine is benevolent and calm, tending to Dizzy and moderating Necro's brutality, though she can be playful and temperamental in interactions with him.
• Abilities: Necro can wield energy scythes, summon fire bursts, conjure magma dragon heads, transform his hands into scythes, and manifest as serpentine or worm-like forms. He can fully possess Dizzy to execute high-level attacks, including the Imperial Ray and Gamma Ray. Undine can summon ice spires, electric or ice blades, flying ice scythes and piranhas, create mirror barriers, and transmute into ice blades. Her full-body possession of Dizzy is unconfirmed.
• Notable Traits: Both wings serve as guardians, capable of independent combat and defense. They can shapeshift Dizzy herself in addition to taking humanoid or winged forms. Their behavior demonstrates contrasting temperaments that complement each other.

Chaos Moves are super-powerful attacks that takes a completely full Chaos Bar to use. These moves do far more damage then a fighters standard attacks.

Dash / Back-Dash / Air Dash

Fighters can dash forward, do a back dash, and dash even in mid air, allowing for greater mobility of moving around their opponents during fights.

High Jump

A high jump is much higher then a regular jump, and a forward or backward High Jump travels all the way across the screen. A Double Jump cannot be performed during a High Jump.

Knockdown Evasion

When a fighter gets hit with an attack that knocks down, they will flip out of the hit immediately, ready to retaliate.

Double Jump

Perfect Guard

Unlike normal blocking which drains a small amount of life when blocking against a special move or Chaos Move, the Perfect Guard can block without losing any life at all. Though the Perfect Guard will drain the fighter's Chaos Bar, and if they have no Chaos Energy at all, they will not be able to use Perfect Guard.

Faultess Defense

Through inputing the punch and kick simultaneously while pushgin the directional button for a guard position, the fighter enters a special guard condition that creates a barrier around them. This prevents opponents from shaving away at their strength with deadly attacks and the knock back is greater than when using normal guards, giving the fighter more time to ready an attack against their opponent. This also enables the ability to guard against attacks that cannot be guarded against during jumps. However, while performing Faultess Defense the Tension Gauge decreases, once it is fully depleted the fighter can no longer use Fautless Defense.

Roman Cancel

While hitting an opponent with an attack, pushing any of the attack buttons will forcefully stop attack actions and return the character to a normal standing pose. This allows the fighter to create their own original combo moves and hit unique attacks the opponent was not expecting.

Other

Standard Tactics: Dizzy is against fighting, though anyone that attempts to fight her will have Necro and Undine instinctively defend her until they lose controlt.

Weaknesses

• Gear Weaknesses: Gear blood makes one always have the want to destroy others around them. When Gears don't have a leader, they cannot function properly and will hibernate, which caused all Gears to cease functioning and entering a dormant state when Justice fell, they can only resist this through developing a self-consciousness. Gear Cell suppressors can suppress the Gear Cells in one, this allows characters like Sol to maintain his human form and why when entering Dragon Install he takes off his headband (as it is a Gear Cell Suppressor).
• Standard Fighter Weaknesses: Perfect Guarding is done through the use of Chaos Energy, if the fighter has no Chaos Energy at all, they will not be able to Perfect Guard. While performing Faultess Defense, the fighters Tension Gauge decreases, when the Tension Gauge power is depleted, this guar can no longer be used.
• Unique Weaknesses: Necro and Undine are Dizzy's automatic defense systems that sometime defy her will and spiral out of control, though she eventually learns to overcome this once she is together with Ky Kiske.

Explanations

The Backyard

When studying the energy that shouldn't exist (magic), a theory arose: that being the Backyard, a superior dimension. The Backyard is described by Sol as a virtual space though is refuted as the other way around, where the main world is the one that's a virtual space. The Backyard is the term used to give reason to the five element configuration, in other worlds, it's "something" that conveys the information that defines the fundamental truth of this world. The magic people like Sol and Sin use are different from the alchemy that uses resources from present numbers, magic users like Sol and Sin forcefully borrow some kind of "reason" from that "something", being described as an obscure world that magic users temporarily access to gain power. Just as the Earth can't exist if there's no universe, this world cannot exist unless they have that "something", being larger then the universe. Roughly put, it's a world that can rewrite the rules of the universe in any way it wants. The Backyard can be explained as a book or library that has the theory of the world written on it. It's responsible for the usage of irregular magic even scientists such as Sol have never seen before, allowing people to use magic that disproves the fundamentals of magic. The Backyard was discovered by a Philosopher, being described to rule all things in the universe and from within it, one could understand any truth or even bend the world as they please. Sol notes that if Valentine could freely access the Backyard, then she can also mess with the world's fate. Asuka Kreutz notes that if someone strays too far into the Backyard, their soul breaks down under the pressure of the information's density. In Guilty Gear Xrd -Sign-, the Backyard is defined as a world separate from our own, yet somehow controlling it, what's hidden behind its gates are the eternal truths, including good & evil, creation & destruction, and of chaos the likes of which mankind has never seen. The Backyard is a space connected by people's dreams. Axl traveling in the Backyard with I-No noted how his body felt heavy and his head felt weird, with I-No noting they're in a field created by That Man so they could exist in the Backyard in the flesh. When a normal life form enters the Backyard they turn to dust, the Backyard is composed of high-density information which governs all of creation, any normal creature is instantly crushed by that wealth of data. The Backyard has no effect on any non-living matter. RoboMay explains the Backyard as composed of extremely dense information that governs the creation of all material things and by adding new information to it, one could easily deform the world itself. Noting that it is a dangerous place that could literally cause the world to break.

Gameplay

Dizzy is a ranged-focused fighter who combines strong projectile attacks with close-range normal moves. Her playstyle emphasizes controlling space from a distance and applying rushdown pressure once her projectiles have broken an opponent's defenses. Players who invest time in mastering her projectiles and overdrives can deal high damage, though some of her Overdrives are difficult to execute and consume significant resources.

Guilty Gear X / EX Mode

• Playstyle: A ranged fighter who uses projectiles to control space, juggle opponents, and create openings for close-range attacks.
• Strengths: Good defensive tools for a starting character, high damage potential from normal attacks and Overdrives, effective zoning.
• Weaknesses: Overdrives are hard to perform; Gamma Ray consumes the entire Tension bar; requires practice to maximize her damage output.
• Signature Mechanic: Projectile-based attacks and Overdrives; EX mode adds Necro Install (boosts speed and grants auto-guard) and Gabriel Sword for counter and combo setups.
• Ideal Range: Primarily mid-to-long range for projectiles; close range for rushdown follow-ups.
• Recommended Playstyle: Use projectiles to break opponent defenses, then apply pressure with normal moves; utilize EX mode abilities for speed and combo setups.

Trivia

• Dizzy's name most likely comes from Guns N' Roses keyboardist Darren "Dizzy" Reed. Another possible, though less likely, source is the Danish band Dizzy Mizz Lizzy.
• Her Gamma Ray attack shares its name with a German power metal band and a spell from the anime and manga series Bastard!!, which Ishiwatari has stated he is a fan of.
• Dizzy’s backstory of being found as an infant and raised by an elderly couple may be inspired by The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, which tells of Kaguya, a princess from the moon discovered as a baby inside a glowing bamboo stalk.
• The English manual for Guilty Gear XX gives proper names to her attacks. Some appear band-inspired: Skull Crusher may reference Overkill’s song "Skullkrusher", and Hunger Strike references Temple of the Dog’s song of the same name.
• Her boss-only "Instant Kill" Overdrive Wings of Light and its imagery may be inspired by the song "One Thousand Points of Light" from the February 2002 album by Swedish symphonic power metal band Dragonland.
• When designing Dizzy, Ishiwatari wanted wings that were more impactful, so he added a grim reaper and goddess on her sides to give her an intimidating presence, loosely following the silhouette of the previous game’s last boss, Justice.
• Dizzy shares her birthday with Axl Low and Elphelt Valentine, both of whom also reference Guns N' Roses.
• Dizzy is the only character not to name most of her attacks. Early in her life in the Grove, moves were described by their function, like "This is used for fishing" or simple phrases such as "So painful!". Only her Overdrives have proper names, many of which are variants of Justice’s attacks, hinting at their connection before it was revealed in Guilty Gear XX Drama CD Black.
• The story of Guilty Gear X (subtitled By Your Side), centered around Dizzy’s plea, is evocative of Aerosmith’s 2001 single "Fly Away From Here".
• In Overture, Dizzy is called the "Maiden of the Grove". In-universe, this was a codename used by Ky and Sol to conceal her identity while in Illyria. In real life, it helped avoid copyright issues with Sega, who owned rights to characters from Guilty Gear X and XX.
• From Guilty Gear X to Λ Core, Dizzy is the only character without an Instant Kill, though her Gamma Ray served a similar function.
• On the cover and manual of Guilty Gear Dust Strikers, her outfit was altered to fully cover her chest with belt straps, and the two silver buttons were removed. In-game, her sprite and portrait retained the original design.
• In Revelator, Dizzy’s shirt panel is destroyed until the end of the match if she performs Gamma Ray at low health, referencing her original costume.
• Costumes based on Dizzy's Xrd appearance appear in Dead or Alive 5 Last Round, Soccer Spirits, and Soulworker.
• Dizzy has guest appearances in multiple games: Queen's Gate: Spiral of Chaos, Brave Frontier, Chain Chronicle 3, Mabinogi Duel, #COMPASS, Last Period, Crusaders Quest, Star Ocean: Anamnesis, Epic Seven, Elemental Story, Code Shifter, The King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match Online, and The King of Fighters All Star.

Codex Statistics Questions

Q: Shouldn't they scale to the higher levels of magic naturally?

A: This would not make much senses as it there are scenes that showcase the cast do not regularly produce those levels of energy, Ramlethal was going to destroy the ship they (Sol Badguy, Ky Kiske, Sin Kiske, & Elphelt Vaentine) were flying on, claiming "We're thirty-four thousand feet up. If this ship goes down, I doubt anyone will survive", Dizzy's instant kill is a massive explosion that the explosion alone scares all fighters into surrendering, Jack-O's instant kill causes an explosion so wide it can be seen from the planet, however the planet is overall fine, etcetera. It makes much more sense that they are at far lower levels normally and can reach or even ignore higher levels through tapping into the Backyard.
