History

 * ''Main article: w:c:soulcalibur:2B'

In the far distant future, humanity has been driven to the brink of extinction by an army of alien machine lifeforms invading Earth. With the bulk of the remaining humans evacuating to off-world colonies, an army of androids known as "YoRHa" has remained behind to fight the machine lifeforms and reclaim Earth for humanity. Of these androids, 2B is one of the most formidable. Equipped with a variety of close-range weapons and a Support Pod for long-range engagements, 2B is equal to the new mission that she has been given: to destroy the cursed sword Soul Edge.

Family

 * Pod 042 - support robot
 * 9S - teammate and companion

Personality
2B is a blade of quiet determination. As a combat android, she does not encourage idle chatter on frivolous subjects and is generally reticent towards others. She also has high respect for the chain of command and rarely questions her orders, unlike her partner. However, 2B occasionally expresses a notably sardonic wit in the face of certain situations and can even be hot-headed at times.

Weapons

 * Virtuous Treaty and Virtuous Contract (Twin large swords)

Portrayal
2B is voiced by Yui Ishikawa (石川 由依) in Nier Automata and in Soulcalibur VI.

In the English dub, she is voiced by Kira Buckland, who also voiced the character in Soulcalibur VI. She is also best known for voicing Talim in the aforementioned game.
