Ryner is a female-coded Olkari, tall and bow-legged. She has pale green skin, a temple-shaped skull which tapers into a point, and five mandibles; two on her forehead, two underneath her chin, and one with a semblance to a ponytail. She has pronounces eye sockets and big green eyes. She lacks a nose and has a downturned mouth. Due to her advanced age, she has crows feet and long nasolabial folds.
The ceremonial red dot on her forehead is reminiscent of the decorative 'bindi' worn by Hindu women. The forehead is considered the location of the 'anja' aka the 'third eye' chakra; commonly associated with concealed wisdom.
Ryner wears a loose, white robe with and a red linear design on the hem. It splits at the front and comes with a hood. She wears a smal; blue cape over one shoulder, secured with a bronze pin. Her pants are green and baggy, and she wears black boots. She accessorises with wooden cuffs imbued with glowing, green stones.

Ryner is a gentle soul; sobered by conflict and tragedy, but still hopeful for the opportunity to take back her home planet. She leads the woodland-dwelling Olkari with wisdom and grace, welcoming friendly outsiders and sharing her technology with the Paladins. She lives by the virtues of intuition and versatility, citing a mindset of creativity and adaptation as the only thing that enabled her people to survive.
Having her people liberated from the Galra by Voltron, Ryner dispenses justice to the traitorous Lubos: the monarch of the Olkari, firmly but fairly. She pledges Olkarion to the Voltron Coalition and they use their skills to create a massive Teleduv: a wormhole generator, for the next phase of the war against Zarkon.

Sablan is a wise, experienced leader with a fierce dedication to facts and a pragmatic approach to even the most emotionally charged situations. He suggets giving up Voltron to Sendak during the occupation of Earth as a way to prevent further bloodshed.
He has trouble recieving criticisms from other people, especially teenagers and aliens, and takes Commander Sanda's side in almost every disagreement. His first priority is to the people of Earth, and he lacks an understanding of the wider conflict occuring throughout the universe.

Sam Holt is a middle-aged man of modest build. He has somewhat thin eyebrows, a notably long jawline, and keeps his hair cropped short. Prior to his capture, he was clean shaven and kept an almost immaculately clean cut appearance.  During his imprisonment by the Galra Empire, his hair grew out long as well as developing a notably large beard as well. Following his rescue by Team Voltron, Sam once more trimmed his hair, but kept his beard, albeit groomed and closely cut.

Overall, Samuel can be seen as a jovial, well-meaning explorer - the consummate science nerd with an endless thirst for knowledge and adventure. An exceptionally kind man, Sam is known to be very close with his crew mates, as he described them to his daughter as being like family. Sam is also shown to radiate BDE, quickly shutting James Griffin up when he interrupts Hunk.

Like most Galrans, Sendak stands well taller than any human; he has mauve fur and a yellow eyes, although his right eye has been replaced with a red prosthetic. Sendak has also lost his left arm in the midst of battle and had it replaced with a large, powerful, and terrifying clawed gauntlet attached to his shoulder by a violet energy chain.
Sendak wears the bright red armor typical of many higher-up commanders in the Galra Empire accented with black and dark grays. On its cuirass, the armor has two glowing yellow adornments with a design reminiscent of an aggressive face.

Sendak was an extremely sadistic, ruthless, and powerful fighter who is not to be underestimated. His loyalty to Zarkon and adherence to the military hierarchy was without question and only obeys the commands given to him. He was a model soldier and citizen of the Galra Empire . He was also skilled in psychological warfare and military strategy, particularly by exploiting the weakness of people valuing others' lives.
Sendak is calculating, quick to pick up on deceit, and not above taunting his enemies during battle nor emotional and mental manipulation on top of brutal physical torture. [1] [2] [3] His cruelness shows in his views that valuing the lives of others is a weakness to exploit, and his readiness to electrocute prisoners where they can be seen and heard to make their allies bend to his will. [4] [2]
The commander delights in displaying his accomplishments to the emperor, seeking his approval, and seems to carry great pride as the First in Command of the Galra Empire 's military bestowed with the honor of being personally trained by Zarkon himself. [4] The burdens of his pride and lack of failure seem to be his own weaknesses, as Sendak will quickly fly into a rage when things to not go according to his expectations. [1] [2] This frenzied state renders him easy to deceive and ultimately leads to his downfall. [2]
When Sendak fought Shiro in the Castle of the Lions, he said "Too bad you didn't get the latest model", referring, of course, to Shiro's Galra arm. From this, we can infer that Sendak underwent the same procedure to remove his left arm, and have a robotic lengthening one in its place. Of course, as a commander, Sendak received the most upgraded version, allowing him to defeat Shiro in a melee fight. This indicates Sendak willingly had his arm removed to be surgically implanted with a weaponized cybernetic limb to become stronger, implying he's willing to sacrifice his own flesh for power.
One of Sendak's quotes was the following: "Nothing will stop me but victory or death" and indeed he showed many times he was relentless in his goals. Sendak is the military leader who will fight on at the cost of all his men, because he was loyal to Emperor Zarkon and the Galra idealism of strength, power and victory over all enemies of the empire, and will follow his emperor's commands with every ounce of his being. This loyalty further extended to Zarkon's right-hand, the witch Haggar, who had first intended to install Sendak upon the Galra throne as a pawn in her plans for Lotor, who was secretly the witch's son. Although Haggar chose to leave him behind when the Kral Zera ceremony disintegrated into chaos and upheaval, it was later revealed that she was in contact with Sendak during his invasion of Earth, which indicates that Sendak had remained loyal to her and obedient when she instructed him to destroy Voltron, rather than seize the lions for her future use. He showed extreme hatred towards Shiro and Voltron when he attacked Earth. Indeed, his attack on and invasion of Earth was very much personal as it was the homeworld of the Paladins who'd defeated him before and just before his death he swore to devote every fiber of his being to destroying Earth, as he earlier double-crossed Sanda after she'd helped Sendak capture the paladins and the lions in exchange for the Earth's safety but he had no intention of honoring the bargain.
Sendak has a twisted and selfish idea of honor that is very different from what others would see honor as, for Sendak's supposed "honor" was more akin to an easily-bruised ego that would settle for nothing less than vengeful payback out of utter spite.

As a young Balmeran girl, Shay is a bipedal alien who stands taller than average human height; [1] she has gray skin and yellow eyes with light brown eyebrows. At her shoulders, arms, and legs, her skin his bumpy rather than smooth.
Shay's scalp is brown with two protrusions at either side of her head, reminiscent of ears, that are each pierced with a single silver-colored metal hoop. She has four small dark brown horns on the top of her head, and one at each side of her jawline. The brown covering her scalp appears to be a harder substance than her skin, as it becomes jagged and bumpy down the back of her neck.
As a Balmeran, Shay also has a short tail, and has four clawed fingers on each hand, as well as only two clawed toes on each foot.
Shay wears a short green dress accented with yellow at its shoulders, reaching down to her mid back in a single stripe, and lining each side of her torso down to her waist, where she wears a darker green belt. The dress is slightly worn at its hem, neckline, and arm holes, with pieces of cloth torn or missing.

Shay is a kind-hearted Balmeran who believes in hope and helping others. This is in sharp contrast to her brother, Rax , and her family, who believe in supporting themselves in any way possible to secure their existence. We see Shay's kind persona in her very first lines, where she argues with her more dominant brother about saving Hunk and Coran. She even takes it to the next level by helping them escape, which prompts Hunk to ensure her rescue out of debt and escape from the Galra.
Shay has a very morally sound and noble personality, willing to put herself at risk for the sake of others even if it means angering the Galra Empire . [1] She is highly inquisitive and curious about the world outside her planet; Shay can seem somewhat innocent as she has only known a world ruled by the Galra and lived below the surface of her own planet, but she is daring enough to sneak out at night to wonder at the sky above from as high as she can climb. [2] She is very empathetic to the suffering of others, especially that of her home.
Shay has no concept of what freedom is until she meets Hunk . The Yellow Paladin inspires in her a desire to free her people from their oppressors, showing Shay can clearly recognize what is unjust and wrong, making her a righteous person. Although she is inclined to follow whatever he brother Rax says, Shay is stubborn in her beliefs, constantly pleading for her over-protective brother to see the light of what must be done, and she is naturally rebellious, going so far to act against her brother if she knows it necessary.

Shiro is a taller-than-average human male with a Herculean physique. He has a broad face and a strong jaw, piercing dark gray eyes and a long, straight nose. He has a jagged pink scar running across the bridge of his nose. Owing to his Japanese heritage, he has pale skin and dark hair styled in an undercut. Due to the stress of Galra captivity, he also has a fluffy white streak located just above his hairline. He has donned two types of prosthetic arms to replace his right arm which was removed when he was captured by Galra, the first is a Galra creation; it has grey plating and a rubbery black layer covering his fingers and the crook of his elbow. The second is a fusion of Altean and Earth technology; it's only a forearm, white, with a grey bracket around the tricep, to a port embedded in Shiro's shoulder via a magnetic field, which shines a light blue because of the Altean crystal from Allura's tiara.
As a prisoner of the Galra and a gladiator, Shiro wore a generic grey bodysuit underneath a shredded purple shirt.
When Shiro was a junior officer at the Galaxy Garrison, he wore a grey/green coat with a mandarin collar and pockets. The coat has black piping and zipped up at the front. He had two gold stripes, identifying him as a junior officer. As Captain of the ATLAS, Shiro updated this outfit with three gold stripes and a button-up front rather than a zipper.
Shiro's casul outfit is a black sleeveless vest over a grey skin-tight shirt and black cargo pants. The vest has off-white piping and Shiro keeps the collar popped up. He also wears a grey utility belt with pouches on each hip, and black fingerless gloves. As a Paladin of Voltron, Shiro donned the standard white armour with black highlights in reference to his position as pilot of the Black Lion.
Once at the Garrison after the Fire of Purification's invasion of Earth, Shiro wore a custom Galaxy Garrison senior cadet uniform. It was a white coat with a mandarin collar, black chest and sleeves, black piping, buttoning up near the right breast pocket. It had a black belt with the Voltron 'V' on the buckle and three gold stripes acknowledging Shiro's previous rank. Shiro suited up for his fight against Sendak in a grey bodysuit with a white chestplate and wrist guards, a black-neck brace, and orange "U"-shaped highlights on his ankes, shoulders and chest to represent the ATLAS.
In Shiro's final appearance, he's dressed for his wedding in a white tuxedo with shawl lapels, a black vest, matching pocket silk and bow tie.

Shiro's personality is that of a born leader, naturally adept at calmly commanding his team. Although he holds a commanding presence, Shiro is actually quite kind as well as sensitive to the struggles and concerns his fellow Paladins are undergoing or may have. This is highlighted in his patience with Pidge , as he knew that she was Katie Holt due to having worked closely with her missing family members, and sympathized with her loss and understood her grief, frustration, and desire to uncover their fates. Shiro's skills as a leader are further enhanced by the familial bond he forms with all of his teammates. Despite how serious and straightforward Shiro can be, he can also be just as silly and laid back as his friends when he has the chance, such as when his friends were making "laser noises". He initially sided with Keith on knocking it off before engaging in it himself, causing the Red Paladin to appear embarrassed that his leader was acting so ridiculously. [3]
Shiro's experiences as a gladiator and a test subject have left him suffering from a degree of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder , or otherwise known as PTSD. This is noticeable when he has momentary flashbacks when confronted with particular stimuli. These flashbacks are actually invasive memories, which are typically triggered in people suffering post-traumatic stress by things that are connected or similar to features or stimuli that one experienced during trauma. Normally Shiro just brushes it off, but when he was confronted by Haggar , he started to lose control of his emotions and became frantic, wild, and certainly not the disciplined warrior most people know him to be. This degree of trauma became such that he began to doubt his chances of surviving. Therefore he made the decision to designate Keith as the new team leader in the event of his death. In the following of his return, his personality has become harsher as well as becoming more dominant in his role as leader - to the point of not listening to his team when dealing with Lotor and his allegiance. As of recent events, Shiro has begun to notice that he isn't himself, to the point of approaching Lance for advice on the situation. In Season Six, it was revealed that this sudden change in personality is due to a combination of Haggar mentally controlling him as well as being a clone of the real Shiro.
He is also known to feel somewhat disgusted by his Galra tech prosthetic hand, as his conversation with Sendak's memories in their Altean container managed to pry at the insecurity of his that his cyborg arm is the strongest part of him, thereby making him part of the Galra. This moment of psychological warfare was enough to cause Shiro to jettison Sendak and his cryo-pod into deep space due to his deep-seated fears which the Galra Commander revealed to Shiro. This tendency to make irrational choices based on trauma, in spite of being extremely collected most of the time, is another one of Shiro's symptoms of extreme, but well restrained PTSD.
Shiro is incredibly patient with his teammates' personalities, though his patience is measured. Due to his pragmatic military background, Shiro has an extremely difficult time coping with the obstructive neuroses of tightly-wound people like Slav. The famed engineer's preoccupation with extremely unlikely hypothetical scenarios that bordered on psychotic had a noticeably negative effect on Shiro's ability to stay calm, to the point of him ridiculing Slav in an attempt to keep his head cool.
Shiro embodies the Black Lion's elemental affiliation of Air in which that he is the current that guides his fellow Paladins and keeps them on course, and that his personality can be kind and gentle while also being a powerful and overwhelming force of nature. Also, like air, Shiro serves as the fuel to the fire of the Team's spirit and will to fight.

Slav has the appearance of a fairly tall bipedal alien with four pairs of arms, a long thick tail, and yellow beak-like mouth. He has no apparent nose, but does possess a pair of triangular ears on the sides of his head. Slav averages on the shorter side of human height. [2] The top of his head and tip of his tail are blue, while the rest of his body is gray with a white chin and hands. He has four appendages dangling from his chin, and two that sprout from the top of his head.
Slav wears a dark gray turtle-neck prison suit with light gray pockets lining its front for each pair of arms he has; Slav tends to keep at least three pairs of arms tucked away in these pockets. [2] It has a cutout for his tail, and the bottom portion of the suit for his legs is black.

While his technological prowess impresses even Hunk and Pidge , Slav's mind thinks in such scientific extremes that he has obsessive-compulsive tendencies, fearful that his actions may have detrimental effects on possible alternate realities that would lead to the demise of himself and others within those realities or the current reality that he occupies. However, this contributes to him being fearful of just about everything from him possibly drowning from a puddle to breaking an quantum reality of his mother's back if he stepped on a crack. His cowardice and antics nearly puts his rescue mission in jeopardy and even riles up the normally cool-headed Shiro. However, he does have moments of courage when he opened the hangar doors to the Beta Traz so he and the Paladins could escape.
Amongst his paranoia, Slav can be extremely critical of other's disrespectful or detrimental behavior, or their illogical design choices, such the use of zip-lines when the same designers have hover technology. [2] [3] . Regardless, he seems to have no malicious intent and seeks to help defend the good in the universe, being a quick thinker and not afraid to take action when the time calls for it. [2] Unfortunately, Slav sometimes does not understand that someone is asking him to perform an action in the reality he currently occupies, and not an alternate one. [3]

Being an alternate version of Slav , his appearance is identical to his core reality's counterpart. He has the appearance of a fairly tall bipedal alien with four pairs of arms, a long thick tail, and yellow beak-like mouth. He has no apparent nose, but does possess a pair triangular ears on the sides of his head. Slav averages on the shorter side of human height. [1] The top of his head and tip of his tail are blue, while the rest of his body is gray with a white chin and hands. He has four appendages dangling from his chin, and two that sprout from the top of his head.
The gray suit he wears is standard of the organization he represents, accented with dark blue, dark gray, and lighter gray, with bright green on its helmet in the form of a styled "V". The helmet's visor can darken to be completely black, save for the green "V", in order to conceal his appearance. [2] Slav's suit has eight sleeves to account for his multiple arms, and his suit covers his tail.

Contrasting with the cowardly, paranoid nature of his core reality counterpart, this Slav is much braver, serious, and confident. Partnered with Sven for his mission, Slav appears to be the leader of the pair, and uses his scientific knowledge and understanding of multiple realities to make himself an effective tactician rather than an anxious mess. He does not shy away from combat and readily puts himself at risk. [2] Like his counterpart, he tends to bring up the concept of multiple realities at every opportunity. [2]
His sense of justice is made clear through his alignment with the Guns of Gamara rebel group, and his vocalized disgust at the Altean Empire 's enslavement of the universe. However, he seems to harbor hatred of all Alteans because of the empire's tyranny. [2] This does not mean he is completely cold-hearted, as he worries about Sven's injuries and openly allies with the Paladins despite Allura's presence once he realizes they are his "friends from another reality". [2]

Sniv is a male-coded, taller than average Galra. He has violet skin with purple stripes on his chin in semblance of a goatee. He has a shock of dark hair, a formidable-looking scar arcing across the right side of his face, and large, pale ears. He has fully yellow eyes and prominent fangs.
Sniv wears a red and black suit of armour over a grey bodysuit. The chestplate is decorated with two yellow trapeziums and grey accents to look like a Galra face. It curves up into a hemisphere that ends just under his ribs and gives way to a layer of black matrial covering his midsection. He has red shoulder pads with spikes and matching forearm protectors. The collar on his armour is black and wide-set, forming a tight seal around his neck. He has orange armour on his calves and and black armour covering his knees to his mid-thighs with grey knee pads.

Sniv is brash and stupid, believing that he can kill the High Preistess of the Galra with only melee weapons. His underestimation costs him his life, as Haggar kills him the moment his intentions become clear.
Sniv is motivated by money or power, whichever he was bribed with to carry out the assassination, and seemingly unconcerned with the possibility of Haggar gaining power and enacting her revenge.

The sphinx is towering quadrupedal alien that appears to be artificial to some degree. He has five claws on each foot, a pair of "feathered" wings on his back, and a long tail comprised of brown tube-like structures that also make up the "hair" protruding from the back of his head. He has a pair of arms with five clawed fingers on each hand.
The sphinx is covered in gold, yellow, green, and red plated material on his head, torso, and limbs, while other parts of his body are covered in brown material. His head seems to be fused wit the ornate golden and red spiked crown adorning it, and he has two yellow horns that protrude from his forehead. The sphinx has a set of white teeth and red eyes.
When the sphinx changes form, the inside of his components appear black with red markings, and his ziggurat form is completely gold.

Highly conceited, the sphinx is an alien that prides himself on his vast knowledge of the universe and carries himself as a greater being than those around him. He enjoys challenging other species in the universe, if only to prove himself superior to them by designing tests guaranteeing his opponent's defeat and his own victory. He is highly stubborn and possessive of the information he has collected, only desiring to reveal it to those he deems worthy - though he seems unwilling to ever consider anyone as such. The sphinx admits that his superiority complex is pathetic.

Sven is a 25 year-old human male in peak physical condition. Being an alternate version of Shiro , his face is near identical with pale skin, black hair, and gray eyes; his hairstyle is different, grown out into a mullet as opposed to an undercut, and he features no white hair or facial scar.
His armour is thin and subtle for spy work. Sven wears a grey zipper bodysuit with black panels on his sides and crotch area, and a belt. His suit has integrated wrist, elbow and knee guards, and shoulder pads with the inverted 'V' symbol of the Guns of Gamara. His helmet has a face shield made of darkened glass, and padding to protect his jaw and ears. This, too, has a glowing green Guns of Gamara sigil. He wears black gloves and matching boots.

As Shiro's counterpart, Sven is similar to Shiro in several respects. He's selfless and compassionate; taking a bullet for Lance without thinking about his own safety. He works well with others and trusts easily. He is also a charismatic and persuasive speaker, as he's able to convince Allura that the Alteans of his reality are really evil and untrustworthy.
Unlike his counterpart, Sven cooperates with Slav; a person Shiro finds endlessly frustrating, and he seems to lack Shiro's brilliant tactical mind. Sven prefers to oppose the tyrannical regime of his reality through subterfuge, rather than fighting them in a giant mechanical robot, as is Shiro's preference. He also speaks with a heavy Scandinavian accent, despite maintaining his Japanese appearance.
Little of Sven's personality is seen, but he appears to be heroic and brave, fighting for the good of the universe and seeking to keep the Trans-reality Comet out of the hands of the Altean Empire . [1] Although dutifully following the leadership of his reality's Slav , he readily puts himself in harm's way to protect his allies, which leaves him heavily injured after shielding Lance from an attack. [1] This moment shows Sven has a lighthearted and joking nature to him when he insists he is fine and simply needs to be taken to "Space Hospital".

Swirn is an female-coded Mer, with lungs adapted for aquatic living and a long, forked fish tail. She has blue-green skin with dark blue freckles. She has a powerful, sea green tail with shaggy finlets.
In Swirn's initial scene, she's wearing a green cape with black stitching over a raggedy, pale green robe. She wears a yellow, three-eyed jellyfish on her head.
Once she's captured Lance, Swirn removes the cape and replaces it with a second layer of green drapes with slits for her arms. She acessorises with gold bracelets, and the body of an orange sea creature which she wears with the tentacles draped over her shoulders.

Te-osh is a female-coded Kythran desert warrior with humanoid facial features, four fingers, and large, feathered ears. Her pinnas (ear flaps) are salmon coloured and seperate into three feather-like tips. The stiff cartilage supporting her ears arcs downward and meets at the bridge of her nose.  Her face is predominantly cream coloured, but her hands, neck and scalp are teal. She has plum coloured stripes situated above her ears and eyelids. Her eyes are slitlike, with violet pupils. She has a pair of smaller, secondary ears or horns situated on either side of her head.
Te-osh wears an orange robe with a loincloth underneath a blue chestplate and a brown cloak with a hood. She wears baggy green pants and a brown harness on her waist secured with a 'v' shaped buckle. She wears black armour over her calves and a pair of grey, flat-soled shoes. Her black weapon strap crosses over her chest diagonally and passes though a slit in her cloak. She acessorises with arm wraps.
Her helmet has four components: the faceplate, the nosepeice, the ears and the chin. The faceplate is light brown with glowing blue eyes. The nosepiece and chin are dark brown and attach to the faceplate with round, beige joints. The ears stay true to the shape and colour of her ears.

Thace is an athletic, mature-aged Galra with perky hair/fur and purple skin. He is above-average height for a Galra soldier and he uses his muscular build to his advantage during fights. He has humanoid features like two arms, five fingers on each hand, a Roman nose, and yellow eyes. He has strong cheekbones, intense eyebrows some modest chin scruff. He also has white streaks in his hair, which in Human culture, indicates maturity and wisdom.

Due to his limited screen time, much of Thace's personality can only be discerned through his actions.
As one of the spies of the Blade of Marmora, Thace is dutiful soldier, dedicated to the downfall of Zarkon and commits himself solely to his duties. A sign of his immensely disciplined mind is his ability to activate his luxite blade, which can only be achieved by Galrans of immense willpower and humility. Due to his role as a spy, Thace is calm, collected, and incredibly observant, being one of the top-ranked moles within Zarkon's ranks. He seldom emotes more than his orders, and he is a level-headed individual.
Thace is also a rather intelligent individual, able to deduce Keith's Galran heritage by how he was able to wield a Marmoran luxite blade.
Thace is ultimately characterized by his unselfish and self-sacrificing nature, putting himself in constant risk for his cause, and in the end willingly gave up his life in order to see the end of Zarkon's reign despite Keith's protests for him to leave with him.

Throk is a male-coded Galra . He has purple skin with dark stripes running through his eyes and down his cheeks. He has a pointy nose, tear drop-shaped face, and fully yellow eyes. Throk's thin, narrow face is a lighter shade of purple than the rest of his body; a single dark marking runs at an angle from his jawline to each of his eyes, passing over them and angling back towards his ears, which are large and dark purple, angled away from his skull. Throk also has a small rat-tail of purple hair. His staggering height is accented by his thin waist and elongated limbs.
The fur lining his ears is shorter and the same light color as his face. In the center of scalp is fur the same color as his ears, with the darkest fur being a crest on the very top of his head. Throk's fur is worn in two long pigtails at the back of his head that reach past his shoulders. He has a notable convex nose with no deviation in shape leading to his forehead.
Throk wears an orange and black suit of armour over a grey bodysuit. The chestplate is decorated with two yellow trapeziums and grey accents to look like a Galra face. It tapers into an inverted triangle that ends just under her ribs. He's wearing a belt made from the same armour. He has black shoulder pads and matching forearm protectors. The collar on his armour is black and wide-set, forming a tight seal around his neck. He has orange armour on his calves and and black armour covering his knees to his mid-thighs with grey knee pads. Distinct from other commanders in the Empire is the single spike on each of Throk's pauldrons.

An ambitious commander who is ambiguously loyal to Zarkon , Throk is unquestionably disdainful towards Prince Lotor and his royal guard that he refers to as "halfbreeds". [1] He holds great pride and confidence as a warrior who has fought at Zarkon's side through many battles, and this makes him tend to underestimate his opponents and grants him a reactionary temper, displaying extreme aggression in behavior and fighting style. [1] [2] He agrees that commanders fighting alongside their soldiers is repulsive and considers associating with Galra of mixed descent completely dishonorable. [1]
Though he has a treacherous streak, Throk still shows respect for the systematic authority of the Empire and his job as an officer. Even placed in the "worst post" of the Empire, Throk is adamant about fulfilling his duties and defending his station. [2] His pride twists his sense of loyalty, however, placing his allegiance in the Empire as a whole rather than only Zarkon himself: Throk believes he is deserving of the throne for serving Zarkon for so long, and attempts to overthrow Lotor's reign because he believes the prince, who had been exiled, is not worthy to have it. [1]
He can be described as easily manipulated by the right opponent - as he seems to believe Lotor's claim of inspiring loyalty, not fear, and salutes the prince in respect before he is betrayed. Throk is perceptive enough to be suspicious and distrustful of Haggar , evident in his attempts to ascertain Zarkon's health himself, which he correctly guesses is not what the witch claims. [1]
After being banished to the Ulippa system and placed in charge of guarding the remains of the giant Teleduv , he demonstrates a lack of military experience by allowing Lotor to infiltrate the ship and steal its cargo. He's an easily frustrated, ineffective leader who shrinks in the face of danger. He fails to inspire his crew and is only propelled to acts of bravery by pressure from his peers and superiors.
Throk continues to plead his innocence and loyalty even through painful torture, and is smart enough to deduce that Lotor is behind his imprisonment despite his loss of memory. [2] [3]

Trayling is a male-coded Altean with humanoid features. He has pale skin with teal Altean markings. He has grey hair with a distinguished white streak, a shaggy Dutch beard and bushy eyebrows. He has a bulbous nose and broad, elf-like ears.
Trayling wears an older variant of Paladin armour with a black skivvy underneath. The variant is white with green, luminescent highlights, and blue accents. It has a wide-set white collar, with a cushy blue layer on the inside. He acessorises with a gold monocle.

Trayling is a wise, experienced explorer and scientist, but not an expert on trans-dimensional comets. When he loads the artefact onto his ship, he underestimates it's destructive capabilities, and the resulting explosion kills him and his crew, and creates a rift between dimensions.
Trayling is also a distinguished and trustworthy man, as he was sent into space at the request of King Alfor himself, and was given an advanced Altean Tel-Galax deep-space shuttle to complete his mission.

In his first appearance, Ulaz is posing as a Galra surgeon. He wears an orange and black chestplate over a black bodysuit. The chestplate is decorated with a pink symbol denoting lower-ranking Galra officers: it has three segments, resembling a talon, a lit torch, or a creature with long, angular horns. The chestplate tapers into an inverted triangle that ends just above his ribs. A swooping belt supports an ankle-length, plain black skirt. He has black shoulder pads and matching elbow-length gloves. The collar on his armour is black and wide-set, forming a tight seal around his neck.
Ulaz's surgical mask is composed of a black facial plate and a mouthpiece with glowing purple air filters. It attaches without straps and instead suctions onto his cheeks witch grey flaps.
In his second scene, Ulaz is outfitted in his Blade of Marmora uniform: a grey bodysuit with a hood, and armour covering the legs, shoulders, torso, and arms. The biceps, waist and trachea are left exposed. The chestplate tapers into an inverted triangle and ends at the pelvis. The places where the armour is sealed around the bodysuit - the wrists, top of the biceps - are accented in blue. The chest and faceplate have glowing parallel lines on them: the sigil of the Blades. A black hood is tucked into the chestplate and his boots split into two toes to assist with parkour. Ulaz has ribbed blue shoulder pads connected at the front to his chestplate, and at the back to his dagger sheath; a sign of high status among the Blades. He acessorises with a brown utility belt.

Ulaz maintains a quiet and collected demeanour even in the face of death. His years of training as a Blade has meant he is able to detach himself emotionally from high-stakes situations and conduct his bussiness with brutal efficiency. Despite this, he lacks the bloodthirstiness of most Galra, showing restraint in his fight with the Paladins after infiltrating the Castle of Lions.
Ulaz is a selfless and compassionate individual, sacrificing himself to save the Paladins when he believed that their contribution to the fight against Zarkon would be greater than his own. With Allura, who has shown him nothing but aggression and suspicion, he acts respectfully and reservedly, even when she has him pinned against the wall of the Castle.

Unnamed Commander wears a grey and black suit of armour over a black bodysuit. The chestpate is decorated with the pink symbol of a lieutenant commander: two sickle shapes with a capitol 'Y' shape in the middle. The chestplate tapers into an inverted triangle that ends just under his ribs. He's wearing a belt made from the same armour. He has inflated grey shoulder pads and matching forearm protectors. The collar on his armour is black and wide-set, revealing the bodysuit underneath. He has grey armour on his legs, black knee pads, and glowing pink diamonds on his elbows and biceps.

He has a utility belt across his wait and a second strap across his chest.

Varkon is a Galra with humanoid figures. He has a stocky build and a protruding gut. He has mauve skin and purple ears, sideburns, a sickle-shaped goatee, and a fin on his skull, all made out of the same material. He has fully yellow eyes and two, prominent incisor fangs.
His mall security officer uniform is composed of a khaki shirt and pants, a sleeveless white vest (that's clearly too small for his belly), and a brown belt with a weapon holster. His vest has an orange zipper and matching shoulder pads, and displays his security badge and a handheld radio. His belt has an inverted triangle buckle to represent the mall he so fervently protects.

Varkon is doltish and incompetent at his job. He lacks intuition and relies heavily on his issued equipment, even when they are clearly insufficient for his needs. He has an inflated sense of self and delusions of importance; he truly believes that he's making a noticeable contribution to Zarkon's campaign of oppression. He demonstrates a lack of professionalism by eating at his desk, but otherwise takes his position very seriously.
Varkon idolizes Zarkon and has a shrine set up in his office with a picture of his beloved Emperor. He vows to protect the mall for the glory of the Galra empire, and before he goes on patrol he pays his respects before the shrine with unwavering, reverence. It's his greatest dream to have his efforts personally acknowledged by Zarkon.
However, after team Voltron performs at the space mall, Varkon is seen playing with some Green and Yellow Paladin action figures, suggesting that his loyalty might not be as resolute perceived.
Despite his stupidity and blind devotion, it can be said that Varkon is persistent. Despite his insistence on using inadequate equipment and his tendency to rely on vocal commands rather than action to restore order, he relentlessly purses the Paladins through the mall during their visit in the Season two episode, "Space Mall". He almost catches them several times, before giving up after they leave his jurisdiction and warning them never to return. Technically, he did fulfill his duty by restoring order: "That's One for Varkon!".

However, while Veronica consistently conducts herself in a manner of utmost professionalism, she also possesses a good natured sense of humor, teasing Lance about his romantic interest in Allura, and pointing out to Lance Allura's fondness for the Red Paladin.
Much like her brother, Veronica has a very strong sense of duty, with all of her humor and teasing melting away to reveal a focused soldier; who is not afraid to put herself on the line for the sake of the mission.

It has one long pelvic fin which runs the length of it's belly, as well as two wing-like dorsal fins which flare in response to an attack.

Kosmo is a wolf-like alien creature with dark blue fur and a fluffy blue mane. His mane concentrates on the scruff of his neck, and continues down his back and forms his tail.  He has an area of pale blue fur which dominates his forehead, runs down the bridge of his nose, and frames his face. He has another 'v' shaped patch of blue fur on his chest. He has a teal waterline around his eyes, and teal lines on his haunches and the fins on his ankles.

Kosmo is a wolf of outstanding loyalty, bravery and intelligence.
Ever Since Keith and Krolia saved him from being eaten as an infant, Kosmo has demonstrated a fierce devotion to Keith. He sleeps with Keith on their journey into the Quantum Abyss, follows him into battle, and spends more than a year cooped up in the Voltron Lions to reach Earth. He shows kindness to Keith's friends, and aggression towards his enemies.
Kosmo is Keith's constant companion during conflicts in Season 6 and 7 . He helps by strategically teleporting Keith into advantageous positions during a fight, and teleporting away when he's overwhelmed. He has unprecedented levels of intuition and special understanding, able to take out enemies by attacking them inside their spacecraft and teleporting back to safety before the ships are destroyed.
Outside of combat, Kosmo has an impressive ability to comprehend non-verbal commands. He is able to stay quiet when required, seek out enemies, and even deliver packed lunches to the Paladins without being instructed to. He can even judge the compatibility of the members of Team Voltron; rearranging the occupants of the Lions to create more cohesive pairings during a battle.

Kova is an alien with feline features including a tail, four paws, and large, sensitive ears. He has dark grey fur, with light stripes on his back, paws, and a 'Y' shaped spot in the middle of his face. The outer cartilage of his ears is blue, with blue stripes extending over his temples and tapering off near the bridge of his nose. He has almond-shaped yellow eyes with pink pupils, and a flyaway streak of orange fur on top of his head.

Before being altered by Quintessence, Kova was Honerva's pet and was used for companionship and relaxation. He was sociable and easy-going; unfazed by the bright lights and loud noises surrounding him in the crater lab on Daibazaal .
However, after an attack on the lab, Kova fell ill and was used as the first subject in Honerva's experiments with Quintessence. This altered his physical appearance, personality, and greatly extended his lifespan. He became more intelligent and obedient. Kova's main role as an accomplice in Haggar's plots, was letting her discreetly watch Lotor through his eyes.
Despite allying himself with someone as unempathetic and soulless as Haggar, Kova was a loyal and sensitive cat. He stuck with Honerva during her transformation into Haggar, he comforted her estranged child Lotor, he stayed by Narti's lifeless body while the fleet crumbled around him, and he trusted Haggar right up until she sacrificed him for a divination spell.

When not on a mission, Clone Shiro's casual wear is very similar to original Shiro's, except his vest is navy blue with the collar zipped up, and his undershirt is cropped at the elbows. It is also worth noting that his white streak appears denser and more upright.

Personality-wise, Clone Shiro behaves just like the original. Shiro's mannerisms, vocal inflexions, traits and quirks have been replicated so perfectly that none of his friends, not even Keith, can tell the difference. However, astute watchers may have felt that Season 3-6 Shiro was slightly standoffish, asserted his authority more and dismissed criticism. He yelled at the Team on multiple occasions and passed several opportunities to give sage advice and support. His biggest outburst occurred when the team was debating whether to endorse Lotor as Emperor. Lance insisted that Lotor cannot be trusted, and Clone Shiro responds, telling him "I told you to stay out of this!". This deviation from Shiro's mellow, nurturing attitude may be the result of imperfect cloning or a mental breakdown.
Upon being controlled by Haggar, Clone Shiro displays a murderous, psychotic personality. He dispatches his team and recaptures Lotor silently and remorselessly. He taunts Keith during their fight, saying that he'd killed the team, referring to the virus Clone Shiro had let loose in the Castle. He fights with precision and manic energy, weakening his opponent by telling Keith that he's broken and worthless. This ruthless, vindictive style of combat mirrors Haggar's attack on Shiro in Season 2 when she torments him with visions of an evil version of himself.

All of the Druids wear long brown robes that conceal much of their bodies, usually exposing only their hands. Aside from Haggar, all known Druids appear to wear white masks on their faces that make it appear as though they have more than two eyes.

They also have five fingers on each digit and 3 toes on each legs.

Unlike Shun'ei 's Phantom Hands, Amanda seems to have somewhat of a personality, such as fighting in tandem with Isla, as well has hi-fiving her during a victory.

She is very ambitious about money, however, and is seen growing angry at the Lillien Knights in her Garou ending when they fail to secure treasure she wanted. (Their reaction to her anger is abject terror.)  She is very confident and is particularly comfortable around men, which is understandable since she is much more powerful fighter than the average person. As such, her relationship with her Lillien Knights is of pure dominance.

Baiken has long pink hair worn in a ponytail, as well as peach eyes. A red tattoo adorns her right eye and forehead, while her permanently-closed left one has a scar over it, and wears a goggle-like eye patch with a tsuba in it. Baiken is also an amputee; in place of her missing right arm, she has a clawed grappling hook alongside other weapons such as a slashing fan, cannon, shotgun, etc.
Her appearance in Samurai Shodown (2019) and The King of Fighters mobile games is based on her appearance in the Guilty Gear Xrd series; a revealing red, black and white kimono with a torn right sleeve, as well as black greaves and sandals.

Hailing from an alternate future reality where mankind has discovered the limitless resources of magic in the start of the 21st Century and in turn has mostly discarded scientific technologies for the sake of the environment, Baiken is a self willed warrior whose life has been long marred with painful bereavement and extreme struggle.
Through mankind's creations of the Gears , living monstrous creatures created from infusing humans and animals with magic made for military purposes, their rebellion against their creators began when the nation of Japan was wiped out by the "first" Gear, Justice, beginning the Crusades, a genocidal war on humanity that lasted for 100 years. As the last remnants of the Japanese race were considered living treasures, Baiken and her family were one of these last Japanese lineages sent to live in protective colonies made for them around the world, but during the Crusades, Baiken's colony was one of the most unfortunate ones to fall to battle, and first handed witnessed the destruction and death of her community as the only sole survivor.
As such, Baiken is an aggressive, impulsive and anti-social person motivated solely by revenge, and her sole drive is wanting to kill a demon-like culprit who goes by the name "That Man", not the Gear Maker who went by "That Man" for years ( it's a long story ). She has remained bitter over her family's demise and intensely hates Gears. She tolerates a small handful of characters, such as Delilah , and to a certain extent, Anji Mito . Though she dislikes the idea of the Japanese being treated like a special race, she occasionally shows pride towards her heritage. Baiken also comes off as a masculine female character, but despite her rough personality, she is capable of showing compassion and mercy.

Chun-Li's appearance has differed several times in the Street Fighter series, as well as in official art and cameos she has made in other works, but in each, she is a beautiful woman known for her strong legs and thighs.
Chun-Li wears a qipao, a Chinese dress imported over from Manchuria that became popular among girls during the early 20th century. Her outfit is modified to allow a far wider range of movement than a normal qipao. She also wears white combat/boxing boots of varying height (around calf-length in games such as the Street Fighter II series and older Capcom Vs. titles, or around knee-high in games based around her 3rd Strike sprite) and a blue leotard with dark brown sheer pantyhose and a blue thong underneath with her qipao. Her qipao is blue with golden accents with a white waistband embroidered with a dragon pattern, a detail only seen in her Street Fighter II art before being officially added in Street Fighter V .
She was originally supposed to wear a peach-colored qipao, as seen in her in-game profile and ending in the original Street Fighter II . Large spiked bracelets, whose ring is black steel and spikes are white/chrome polished steel are worn on both arms. According to supplementary materials, she wears the qipao in honor of her late mother, who passed away in her early childhood and whose only photo showed her in a qipao similar to her daughter's. The spiked metal bracelets she is known to wear are made of iron, and weigh approximately 7-10 kg (15-22 lbs) each. Chun-Li also wears them to help tone and exercise her body; the qipao is fitted with weights to help build body strength and finesse, while her bracelets are for the purpose of balancing her body when performing her kicking moves, including helping stabilize her center of gravity during a Hyakuretsukyaku and limit her during supers such as the Senretsukyaku to avoid overexerting her muscles. The spikes are also used for the purpose of intimidation.
In the Street Fighter EX series within her CGI appearance, the dragon pattern of her white waistband and its trimmings are pale blue instead of gold. In her Street Fighter 6 default costume, which is shown in the teaser trailer that announced her and Ken Masters for Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves , she trades her pantyhose and boots for blue pants that reach her ankles and blue Chinese shoes, and her qipao is also white, blue and gold.

Chun-Li is a resourceful and dedicated officer of the law with a strong sense of justice that rivals that of her father, as she strongly believes in protecting the innocent and saving the lives of others. She is a highly disciplined, seasoned, and courageous woman, and is often the voice of reason. As an official of Interpol, she takes her work as a cop with pride (showing pride at what she does when she saves another), but outside of her duty as a cop, she has an elegant, sweet, and feminine personality.

Dolores cares for her adoptive son and even if he's defiant towards her she still tries her best to make sure he's on the right path. Most of Dolores' motherly qualities is also expressed with Isla; she guides and provides support, even though Isla stubbornly refuses to admit her need for help. In the brief interaction with Nakoruru , Dolores openly appreciated her endearment. Dolores, in kind, honors Nakoruru as "Great Shaman". They both have a deep connection to the spiritual realm and engage in practices related to spiritualism. Despite this, Dolores reminds Nakoruru that she must fight, for it is her own will in fate.

Iori is depicted as a young adult Japanese male with an athletic physique and a unique red haircut with  long front bangs that often to hide one of his eyes from certain viewpoints. Starting in KOF '95 , he has worn a half-buttoned black coat with gold buttons, a large thinly white crescent moon crest marked on the back that represents the Yasakani clan,  and open slits from his sleeves, a large-collared white shirt that reached to his thigh area like a skirt and was half-buttoned to expose his chest, red pants with a belt attached to each of his knees, black shoes, and a black choker. Sometimes, he also always wear a silver ring on either of his ring fingers. This unique design is heavily praised from audience, even to make claims as "one of the best fighting game character designs of all-time." A best known example of an overwhelming praise of this design was of Masahiro Sakurai , creator of the Kirby and Super Smash Bros franchise, who has played The King of Fighters '95 and said "When I first saw this character in the game at the time, due to his look and attitude, I thought 'Whoever created this character must be a genius!'", according to his full presentational video of Terry Bogard in his inclusion of Super Smash Bros Ultimate . Iori has extensively worn this attire throughout the majority of his KOF appearances and crossovers, all the way up to KOF XI, while it makes a return as his EX form in KOF XIII , and as an alternate costume in KOF XIV.

He wears a black coat that looked similar to the one of his classic attire, but without the Yasakani crest on the back, a shorter red shirt underneath with his midriff exposed, white pants, a large black belt with a gold buckle, a smaller black belt that hangs loose on the side of his hip, tan shoes with black buckles, a black choker, and a black necklace.

In KOF XIV , Iori wears a open large burgundy trench coat with black fur on the collar, a white unbuttoned ring-printed shirt, a dark purple printed tank top, black belted pants, white belt with a large silver buckle, white buckled shoes, and two necklaces with one of them having a black Yasakani crest as a pendant. Interestingly, his concept art of this design was originally having him to wear light brown gloves, but is scrapped as his model shown he is bare handed. This particular outfit, while not as polarized as Kyo's appearance in the same game, has met its own critics for being a bit too busy of a design, although his iconic hair remain untouched to the relief of longtime fans.

Concept of Iori's new design in KOF XV with comment by the main illustrator of the game, Tomohiro Nakata .

In his most recent appearance of KOF XV , Iori sports a large black trench coat with dark red texture on the inside of it and a dark red textured Yasakani crest marked on the back, dark red printed shirt that button halfway to expose his chest, red pants, black shoes, two black belts that were placed similar to his KOF XII appearance, a black choker, and a necklace with a silver Yasakani crest as pendant. According to the illustrator of KOF XV, Tomohiro Nakata , he said "Iori's design has always been reliant on red and black tones, and so we decided to in that direction for this installment." This new outfit has met many positive reactions since in his reveal trailer as that it was more appropriate than his KOF XIV appearance. It is noted that this design seems to bear a resemblance to his Another Striker form in KOF 2000 .

Iori in KOF for Girls

In the mobile dating simulator game, The King of Fighters for Girls , amongst various outfits depending on events, Iori's attire is similar to his classic outfit, but with significant alterations; the color of his coat and pants were swapped, his coat's gold buttons were changed into silver, two zippers were added at the front of the coat, black belts on the side of his coat, two belts were added on each of the sleeves of his pants like his KOF XIV , and the Yasakani crest marked on the back shrunk down to the shoulder area.

Iori is a serious, blunt, and rude character. He is not interested in making friends or enemies, only showing investment in achieving results that appeal to him. He may appear incapable of acts of kindness or empathy, but he isn't antagonistic or mean outside of combat.
In various drama CDs , Iori is frequently tormented by an Orochi identity that resides within him, which mocks and belittles him as its "master." Iori can be sympathetic to other people, but his Orochi persona often threatens to take over and harm them. Iori tries to ignore it until it angers him, causing him to physically snap in a usually violent manner. In his KOF XII profile, he seems to have trouble knowing which identity is actually his and suffers from a slight identity crisis. Due to this personal trait, he prefers not to associate with others and lives as a lone wolf. He still retains pride in his humanity and won't allow himself to die under any circumstances. The matter of losing his flames has not personally scarred or affected him in any way.
Despite Iori's violent and sadistic personality, which led to him killing people in both the Orochi Saga and NESTS Saga, he still follows his own moral code, which was touched upon in The King of Fighters '97 ～660nen Hi no Futari~ . After brutally beating Shingo, who challenged him to a fight, he tells Shingo that he isn't low enough to take pleasure in bullying the weak and promptly leaves.
In regards to whoever he is partnered with, at best, he can be dismissive, distant, and blunt but cooperative, and apathetic and treacherous at worst. Eiji Kisaragi and Billy Kane have seen the worst of Iori, as well as indirectly courting Yashiro Nanakase's ire for upstaging him in a music gig. On the other hand, Kyo, Chizuru, and Shingo have seen reasonably civil treatment from him despite the distance. He is notably dismissive, confrontational, and even borderline traitorous when it comes to Mature and Vice, his natural enemies; however, Mature and Vice have ironically shown some concern and care for his welfare.
Regarding his family duties and his ancient family feud, Iori doesn't care much for them. If the Orochi seal is threatened however, Iori doesn't back down from the challenge of re-sealing it. His participation often provokes Kyo's pride enough to begrudgingly bring the Three Sacred Treasures together. Iori seems to want to clash with his rival whenever they meet yet he can't recall the reasons why he hates Kyo. Like his rival, Iori just seems to instinctively hate him. His intro with Tung Fu Rue in XIV suggests that he merely wants to keep his own rivalry with Kyo going for a non-clarified reason, probably for the sake of his own amusement, which Iori himself promptly denies and/or seems unaware of.
Recent portrayals of Iori and Kyo, along with Iori's willingness to set aside his murderous vendetta on multiple occasions, and the semi-canonical SNK Heroines strongly suggest that he's no longer as homicidal as he once was, particularly with Kyo. They clash with each other mainly for a show of strength and to keep Kyo on his toes. Chizuru watches over both men to ensure their rivalry is kept in check, but as of XV , she has allowed them to go all out on each other, understanding that their hostility toward each other is necessary to strengthen themselves, just as in their histories. Unbeknownst to Iori, his decreased hostility toward Kyo is the result of Shingo interfering with past events when he was inadvertently sent back in time.
In non-canonical depictions, he is shown to be fond of cats, and cares for them by feeding them. This has been shown as well in official illustrations that don't tie with the KOF canon, depicting Iori in an act of kindness not normally seen.

K' is a dark-skinned gray-eyed young man with white hair with a slight muscular build. He wears a black leather jacket with demin black tights and black shoes all in tandem. The back of his jacket reads " A Beast of Prey ".
K' also sports sunglasses that he wears. Starting with The King of Fighters XIII , K' always wears sunglasses, only ever taking them off when performing his signature Chain Drive, or during his win pose.

K' has a very serious and arrogant personality but is very easy to enrage due to his more high-strung side, though he is starting to treat Whip as a big sister and Kula as a little sister. He often calls Maxima names - like "stupid", "idiot", etc. - but he actually trusts his partner's reliability. He is hardly polite and is always gruff, even to those close to him. Because K' usually expresses his concerns in a "tough guy" manner, Maxima jokingly calls him dishonest or stiff. Because of this, K' would often let Maxima handle any social necessities in his stead.

K' is always tied to Kyo.

If there is something K' hates above everything else it is to be compared with Kyo which often results of him being labeled the inferior Kusanagi, and because of that K' started to have some sort of rivalry with Kyo. Believing that he is more than just a mere imitation of Kyo, K' is always looking for a way to escape his fate as the "second Kusanagi flame".
In KOF XIII , several fighters often point out K's rather immature personality ("whiny", lazy, anti-social and constantly rude to others) in their pre-fight dialogues against him. It is also pointed out he feels trapped in his life and hates involving himself in most things he finds trivial, making him not unlike Iori Yagami in terms of nihilistic mindset (and the two ironically very much hate each other and are prone to nasty dialogue between one another for little reason).
He, of course, despite his disinterest to partake in the KOF tournaments, at times often boasts about his abilities to take on anyone anytime, anywhere, which is something not quite far off from his capabilities as he also finds engaging in tasks with expected results to be yet another chore. Much of his dislike of trivial things is likely due to the trauma of often serving as one of NESTS's agents in regards to various shady assignments, as seen in his pre-battle dialogue against Daimon in XIII where he states "I have enough blood on my hands already".

Kyo is often depicted as a young adult Japanese male with an athletic physique and a brown curtain haircut . Since in his debut in KOF '94, Kyo sported a modified black gakuran, a Japanese male school uniform, as it appeared with his unbuttoned coat with the sleeves rolled up to his biceps and a vest, each with gold buttons, a tucked-in white shirt, a brown/gold belt and white buckled shoes. He often wears a large white headband to compliment this attire, along with a pair of his uniquely designed black fingerless gloves. Originally in KOF '94 , each of his gloves were cut at the length of his wrists, with a single gold stripe marked around right under the knuckle area to the palms. In KOF '95 , while his gloves remain the same of his in-game sprites, his portraits marked a significant update, as the cut extends to midway of his forearms, another gold stripe added near the end of the cut, and an eclipsed sun crest near the area of his wrist. The sun crest is best known to represent the Kusanagi clan, which it also marked on the back of his coat since KOF '94 . This outfit is considered Kyo's most recognizable look, often deemed this as his "classic" to the fans that it even makes the most appearances on crossovers featuring him. In-canon, Kyo prominently wears this outfit in the entirety of the Orochi Saga from KOF '94 up to KOF '98. Beyond in the main KOF series after KOF '98 , some of Kyo's clones tend to wear this exact outfit in various colors, including Kyo-1 for a navy blue variant and Kyo-2 for a reddish-brown variant, while his dark clone, Kusanagi , also worn the exact same black attire. This classic outfit also appears as an alternate costume in most KOF games such as KOF Maximum Impact, KOF XIII, and KOF XIV.

Kyo in his first casual wear. Worn in KOF '99 to KOF 2002 .

Throughout the main KOF series, Kyo is known to change his outfits, depending on each story arc or on occasional new installments. Starting in KOF '99 , Kyo discarded his iconic uniform for a more casual look that some fans refer this outfit as "Shin Kyo." His KOF '99 attire consists of a white jacket with black trimmings, a black shirt with a white hollowed cross, a pair of jeans with the rim of the sleeves slightly torn, a pair of black fingerless biker gloves, a small chain that hangs from the back pocket to the belt area, and black shoes. He also discarded the headband, as his Round 1 intro animation in KOF '99 presents him taking it off of his forehead and burn it from his hands. He prominently worn this outfit throughout the entire NESTS Chronicles, from KOF '99 to KOF 2002 . This outfit also appears in Neo Geo Battle Coliseum , KOF Sky Stage , Neo Geo Heroes Ultimate Shooting , KOF XI, and KOF XIII, with two of the latter games as his EX form.

Kyo in KOF XII and KOF XIII, by Eisuke Ogura

In KOF 2003 , Kyo has worn a black racer jacket with the Kusanagi crest marked on the back, white shirt, a pair of dark green jeans, brown shoes, and a long brown belt that hangs out from the side of his hip like a tail. He also worn his classic gloves, though only the single stripe at his hand area are visible, while the Kusanagi crests are hidden in his sleeves. Kyo would wear this outfit again in KOF XI . In KOF XII & KOF XIII, Kyo worn a variation of his 2003 attire, as he replaced the racer jacket into an unzipped black motorcycle jacket with silver metal studs, the dark green jeans into blue jeans, brown shoes into black shoes, and the long belt into a regular sized belt with a large silver buckle. He also had the pocket chain hanging at the side of his hip like his NESTS attire had. The Kusanagi crest on the back of his jacket and his gloves remains on this slight change.

Kyo in KOF XIV, by Eisuke Ogura

In KOF XIV , Kyo sported a half-zipped white leather jacket with four zipper pouches on the front and one on each sleeves, a black v-neck shirt underneath. blue jeans, a pocket chain, brown buckled shoes, a large C-buckled brown belt, and a pair of black fingerless padded gloves. His jacket also has a pinstripe variation of the Kusanagi crest marked on his back, and a on each of his sleeves. The most drastic change on this appearance is Kyo's haircut, which it is known as a commonly popular haircut for the teenage boys in Japan, as most refer to this style as "the J-Pop haircut." This unusual look on Kyo left longtime fans rather divisive, as the staff aimed to appeal to the new fans while making him look less aggressive than his previous appearances. It is noted that in the earlier trailers of KOF XIV and promotional images, Kyo's hair was miscolored in shiny black, which it added more bizarre reactions from fans to even go as far saying he was "nearly unrecognizable."

In KOF XV, Kyo returns to his proper parted haircut. Along with that, his most recent attire is very similar to his appearance in KOF XII & KOF XIII , with the unzipped black motorcycle jacket with the Kusanagi crest marked on his back, white shirt, blue jeans, brown belt, and black shoes. However, this attire has some modifications, as according to the main illustrator of KOFXV, Tomohiro Nakata , he aimed to make Kyo's appearance as an amalgamation of some of his previous outfits.  Most notably, he wears the white headband again since his classic school uniform attire, having the Kusanagi crest marked on each of the unzipped part of his jacket sleeves and a gold stripe each on a pair of fingerless biker gloves. This latest appearance of Kyo left many fans with a very positive reaction since in his reveal of the trailers for the franchise's most recent installment. This appearance also closely resembles his Extra Striker form in KOF '99 , as he also worn the jacket, jeans and the headband altogether.

Kyo in KOF Maximum Impact 2.

In KOF Maximum Impact 2 , Kyo sported a very unique look designed by Falcoon as it consists of a black-and-white leather jacket with red trimmings and a curved pinstripe marked at the back, a black shirt with a white racing stripe, a pair of two-toned leather gloves (fully-covering his fingers) with a white side on the front of his hand and a black side on the back, black jeans, white belt, white shoes, and a chained small tasseled flag hanging behind with a white Kusanagi crest marked on it.

Kyo in KOF: Destiny

In the Chinese CG animated web series, The King of Fighters: Destiny , and the mobile game based on the same name , Kyo's attire is very similar to his classic school uniform, but with some significant changes; his coat has silver buttons, quilted padding with brown straps on the shoulders, latch-on straps for the sleeves, and zipper pockets. He also added a pointed circular belt buckle, a pocket chain hanging on the side of his hip. and wears white sneakers instead of the buckled shoes. His iconic gloves were also redesign with the Kusanagi crest now on the area of the back of his hands, and two gold stripes are at the end.

Kyo in KOF for Girls

In the mobile dating simulator game, The King of Fighters for Girls , amongst various outfits depending on events, Kyo's main attire seems to taken inspiration of his NESTS saga attire, as of having the white jacket, black shirt, jeans, pocket chain, and black shoes altogether. His jacket includes black wing-like decals on the front, half of the Kusanagi crest marked on each of the sleeves, black straps near the open slits of the sleeves,  and two white belts on the collar. He also wears his iconic gloves, but as of only the gold stripes on his hands are visible. It is currently unknown this attire contains the Kusanagi crest marked on the back as no existing artwork of his back turned confirming it.

Kyo is the over-confident but well-meaning protagonist of the series, more interested in enjoying life than having to partake in any particular responsibilities. He is quick to dismiss subjects that don't interest him and will often carry out his actions with a devil-may-care attitude. Despite his seemingly arrogant and rude demeanor, he treasures his friends and family, enjoying their presence and particularly doting on his girlfriend, Yuki , who is a descendant of the Kushinada clan. Because of this, he can be quite protective of her, especially against the Hakkesshus.
His extreme disinterest in studies has led to his chronic inability to graduate from high school (which has become subject to in-jokes). Although he is confident in his poetic talent, most of his poems aren't considered to be good by his listeners.
Kyo takes his clan's responsibilities on a more personal level, disregarding ancient legends and predestined events as any reason for his actions. His strong sense of justice and his zeal to fight stronger opponents are what he believes to drive him to carry out his destiny. His rivalry with Iori Yagami is one of mutual hatred and was hardly spurred by their clans' history, and partly due to Iori's prior aggression. While he will fight Iori, he won't go as far as to kill him, being aware of his role as a part of the Three Sacred Treasures. When Kyo and Iori join forces, it is often begrudgingly and as a last resort solution to the conflict at hand, with seemingly no desire to seek lasting and mutual peace, particularly on Kyo's part. However, he will leave Yagami alone as long as Iori doesn't seek to antagonize him as usual, and will respect his actions, especially if it involves their clan responsibilities. It is for this reason Chizuru watches over both men, to keep both their rivalries in check.

Mai is a very beautiful woman, with fair skin, long brown hair tied into a tight, high topknot style, accompanied by a waist-length ponytail with parted bangs and amber eyes (with some games being brown). She is well-known both in verse and amongst fans for her well-endowed body.
Her main outfit is a red and white kunoichi dress (a traditional garb of her family's), with red tassels at the back that are fastened to an obi around her waist. She has circular white ropes secured around her shoulders, with red and black colored tabi for footwear. Mai is also usually seen wielding a traditional white Kachō Sen, or "butterfly fan", as her primary weapon.
in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves , she has a completely alternate outfit. Instead of wearing the usual red and white kunoichi dress, she instead wears a partially zipped black leather biker jacket with a pinkish red color on the sides and some pink flower designs on the back. She now wears black pants with high heel boots, wears black gloves on her hands, and her topknot is now pinkish red instead of white. This new outfit is based on a promotional artwork of Fatal Fury Special , done by Shinkiro .

Mai is a very cheerful and temperamental girl. She tends to also be somewhat of an airhead and admires any kind of beauty or attractiveness, which sometimes comes across as being vain. She also at times compares attractive boys who flirt with her or acknowledge her beauty to Andy, acknowledging their attractiveness but ending with a comment saying they're 'not as cute as Andy'.
Like many girls, she has dreams of getting married to her Prince Charming — she found her own Prince in Andy Bogard, and self-proclaimed herself his fiancé, which at times has creeped out Andy himself. Within the Fatal Fury series, he mostly tries to ignore her advances as he views her like a younger sister but has a hard time adequately returning platonic affections due to her persistence.
Another notable example of this within the King Of Fighters series is her intro with Andy in KOF '97 , proposing to Andy outright in a wedding dress, or scaring Andy with a mock child doll in KOF '99 and 2001 . Despite this, Andy mutually acknowledges her love but prefers to keep quiet about it, mostly due to his own stoicism and focus on training.
Although her peppy fighting persona suggests otherwise, Mai is actually a traditional and ideal Japanese beauty . However, her pride as a Shiranui ninja and infatuation with Andy usually keeps her from fitting the mold 100% of the time.
Despite her complex relationship, Mai has shown her support for the women's team and their notorious reputation for years and enjoys working with her teammates. As for Andy's older brother Terry, Mai admires him, although she gets skeptical when she feels he's hiding something about Andy. Mai shows deference towards Joe but she feels his silly habits are a little annoying.

As mentioned before, Mr. Karate is Takuma Sakazaki, and as such, he wears the same black gi as him. Mr. Karate sports a Tengu mask to hide his true identity.

While in the Art of Fighting series, Mr. Karate was a serious fighter who did what he did for his family, he has been recently shown as a superhero role model for future karate apprentices who teaches the right way as a honorable fighter, but normally this is somewhat of a running gag where Takuma's always seen disguising himself as Mr. Karate to spy on Ryo and the others to see if they made progress, which usually annoys the fighters.
When the persona returned in The King of Fighters XIII , it's implied that Mr. Karate has taken more of a serious moniker closer to the "Serious" Version in SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos . Although most the fighters know Takuma is the man under the mask, they can't help but notice the change in fighting aura and bloodlust found within; Shen Woo gets really excited, while Maxima cannot properly gauge him, and even his students notice that this version of Mr. Karate is not the comical individual they're used to seeing. Saiki even praises this persona, despite being human.
Whenever people refer to him as "Takuma Sakazaki", Mr. Karate will deny this and say that his name is not "Takuma" but "Mr. Karate", right down to insisting that everyone must call him by the latter name.

Najd is a relatively tall and slender woman with spiky white hair and golden-brown eyes. She wears an Abaya, billowing purple robe with white and silver accents, a brown belt, and black boots. She also wears red headscarf that acts as her hijab.

Being a small-town girl, Najd's knowledge of the outside world is scarce and has piqued her curiosity. This is what would lead to her participation in KOF, wanting to put her skills to the test.
She is quiet and tends to keep to herself but harbors a deep sense of justice. However, unlike Kim Kaphwan , another fighter with a deep sense of justice, Najd's sense of justice is completely different. Specifically, Najd's quotes indicate she favors retribution and punishment over redemption and repenting for one's sins; something that Kim overzealously preaches and something Najd calls him out on by saying that she "sees something twisted" in his beliefs. But just like Kim, Najd can sense what someone truly is and whether they have any dark feelings inside them.
Najd is also a big fan of Shonen manga, especially with ones involving ninjas and samurais; she was very excited to meet Bandeiras Hattori , who she claimed was a "real ninja". Amusingly, she couldn't believe that Mai Shiranui was a ninja due to her provocative outfit. However, the most particularly excitement is meeting the actual time-displaced samurai , Haohmaru .

Nightmare Geese, in the Fatal Fury series and the KOF: Maximum Impact sub-series, looks exactly like Geese, only with a ghastly ring surrounding where he stands. In The King of Fighters XIV , he now looks true to his name; a rotting corpse with grey-black skin, pure white eyes and greying hair. His clothes are also torn.

Leona's hair turn red/dark pink. Her pupils are completely white like Orochi Iori 's (though in some artworks, its appear to be glowing red or glowing yellow or green or sometimes retains as normal).

During this state, especially with Orochi's heightened presence, Leona goes berserk and will attack anyone on sight. Beginning with The King of Fighters '99 , as long as Orochi's presence is kept safely distant, her personality remains unchanged while in control of the Riot of the Blood.

Panni is an alluring woman with magenta hair and brown eyes. Her bangs are outward on the side of her face, and she has a purple paint mark on her cheek. She wears a red bodysuit that divides around her chest, exposing her cleavage; it connects at her midsection with a belly-baring cutout. Her bodysuit exposes her right thigh, and she wears a golden thigh bracelet. Her footwear has heels, and she wears pink nail polish. Panni also wears orb-shaped earrings, and her bodysuit fits her agile and graceful tactics.

Panni is extremely loyal to Laocorn and will do anything he commands, but she secretly worries about him and fears what he may become when he finds all the pieces of the Armor of Mars.

Preecha has dyed light pink hair with blue streaks (naturally brown, as indicated by her eyebrows), tied in a ponytail with purple clips to keep the bangs out of her brown eyes, also donning black spectacles. Her fingernails & toenails are painted bright green & pink in an alternating sequence.
Her default attire consists of a white sports bra worn under a cropped sleeveless yellow top, multicolored armbands on her biceps, red wraps on her hands that tuck into black-and-pink cuffs, black-trimmed orange Muay Thai shorts with her name written on the front, and off-white leg warmers that partly cover up her red foot wraps.

A scientific-inclined girl, Preecha mixes her science with Muai Thai and some boxing, resulting in a boisterous disposition on her part. Though she hates getting hurt, she endures it to further her research. She analyzes her opponents in a clinical manner to better understand their superhuman abilities, and sees her matches as data collection for her studies.
Preecha's fighting style is Muay Thai. She seems to have aerokinetic abilities, similar to Joe Higashi , being able to summon tornadoes with her punches and kicks.

Re Verse has similarities to Isla 's appearance, with similar hair, phantom hands and a gas mask as part of its design.

Similar to its first incarnation, Verse , Re Verse is an embodiment of negative energy and rage like a fire. However, Re Verse is more feral in nature, often talking in a language unknown to humans and more prone to shrieking. In many ways Re Verse behaves like an individual afflicted by the Riot of the Blood , being completely untamed and viscerally violent to the point of total mania.
According to Heidern's report in the edit team ending of KOF XV , Re Verse is alleged to appear at the end of the world to collect souls for a greater god, presumably for Otoma=Raga .
