Kof xiii character list how to#
Her EX DMs and Neo MAX in XIII seem to imply that Leona is learning how to better control her Orochi form, at least for short bursts of time.Massive doses of character development for Leona in XIV, the Ikari Team ending contains many instances of Leona smiling and she flat out saying how fun it is being together with Ralf, Clark, Whip and Heidern there was a time Leona smiling just once was the climax of any Ikari Team ending.Initially Leona did not salute Ralf like she did with Clark, even though Ralf is superior in rank to her and Clark, that might have to do with Ralfs brash and somewhat carefree personality which might not inspire authority on someone as serious as Leona however after the Orochi Saga ends with Ralf telling Leona she is not a slave to fate (of being an Orochi pawn) a speech that mirrored her own fathers, she seemly warms up to him, the following games has Leona saluting Ralf as well in their Special Intro.Cast from Hit Points: Exclusive to 2002, she has a move where she can turn into Orochi Leona mid-fight, but it drains her HP to 50% and she can't use it if she's already at below half health.She seems to be recovering from it, if the XIV ending for her team is any indication. She unwittingly slaughtered her family and village when under the influence of Orochi, and she feels a constant urge to keep all of her emotions suppressed out of fear of hurting anyone again, which just makes it difficult to forge bonds with others. Broken Bird: She's one of the straightest examples of the trope.Several Ikari Warriors endings involve Ralf and Clark trying to cheer her up. Goenitz induced the Riot of the Blood in her when she was a child and made her slaughter her whole village. Boobs of Steel: Much more prominent in later games where she ditches her jacket for a tanktop.When under More Than Mind Control, to be fair. Blood-Splattered Innocents: Horrible subversion: she was the one who killed the people whose blood she's splattered with.Bare Your Midriff: Even more so with her XII outfit.It's now Ascended Meme status as of XIV playing as either Leona or Chang in Story Mode will result in a special cutscene in which they both salute each other.Word of God said this was intentional, but it led to a plethora of both fan and official art as well as a few fan theories back in the day.


Apocalypse Maiden: As Orochi Leona in '97.Her outfits since XII do give more focus to the latter, though. Amazonian Beauty: She is very pretty, but there's more focus on her being toned and athletic as opposed to busty and curvy.The only major difference is that Cammy is a bit happier than Leona and is seeing smiling a lot more. Both are VERY stoic soldiers with a dark past where they were under the influence of dark forces and later on were afraid of succumbing to said forces again and hurt their loved ones. Alternate Company Equivalent: It could be argued that shes one of Cammy from Capcoms Street Fighter.Action Girl: She is a trained mercenary after all.Absentee Actor: She's completely absent in KOF XI, as Heidern pulls her out of field duty due to Mukai's tampering with the Orochi seal causing her to enter Riot of the Blood and unconsciously attack Ralf and Clark when they tried to stop her.Although she appears cold, she maintains this persona out of fear that being emotional will cause her to regress into the Riot once more. She was adopted by Heidern shortly afterwards, becoming his de facto daughter. When she woke up and saw what she had done, a traumatised and amnesiac Leona then wandered aimlessly until she was found by Heidern he planned to drop off her at an orphanage, but found Leona had cut down a tree with her bare hands, and not to mention he had lost his own daughter some time ago. As punishment for his betrayal, Goenitz forced his pre-teen daughter into the Riot of the Blood state, causing her to go berserk and slaughter the entire village singlehandedly, including her family. Young Leona's father, Gaidel, was one of the Orochi heralds, but when Goenitz visited his village to remind him of his role in Orochi's resurrection, Gaidel wanted no part of it.
