Dead or Alive

Christie is the tallest woman out of the Dead or Alive fighters, standing at 5' 10" (177 cm). She bears steely-gray eyes and her hair is a shocking shade of white.
In her original design, she had a pinkish complexion with darker-colored lips, a shorter face, round eyes, a short and spiky hair style. For her re-vamped design in Dead or Alive 5 , she has been given some slight changes. Her face has been made to look longer and more mature, she has a paler skin tone, and her hair is a little longer and not as spiky. Her body is also more feminine. She has received additional hairstyles as well: As of Last Round, she is able to wear her hair in a combed to side/gelled to the side style, or she can wear a bobcut with blunt bangs as well as short wispy sidelocks that frame her face. For her Aquaplus DLC costume, she also wears her hair long for the first time in the series, and her Arc Systems DLC also has her wear long hair albeit with different styling in the front.
Compared to the other women's outfits in the series, Christie has some of the most "revealing," with a lot being tight and having plunging cleavage lines; her default outfit in Dead or Alive 4 doesn't even have an undershirt and her breasts are only covered by an open leather jacket. Her most recognizable outfit includes a white catsuit with a slightly open zipper and black boots. However, she has also worn very modest outfits, including a winter coat with leggings, and a black business suit. Dead or Alive 5 has given her more femme fatale style costumes, including a tight cocktail dress with heels and a knife held by a garter to her leg, and a loosely buttoned white business suit with steel toe red heels and an optional yellow safety hat. Her other outfits tend to follow this style, with her outfits ranging from conservative and teasing to even overtly revealing with an often cool edge to them.

As a professional assassin, Christie is cold, taciturn, objective and callous towards others. She is shown talking harshly to others, making fun of them, and taking enjoyment from the suffering of someone else; she laughed with malicious delight when Helena entered a highly shocked and distraught state after learning it was Christie who killed her mother all along.
Possibly as a result of her profession, she regards other people to be disposable and meaningless, and doesn't appear to have any true friends or even family she has relationships with. She takes her job seriously, with a calm, quiet demeanor, and is completely ruthless when engaged in a mission, employing any means at her disposal to attain her mission objectives; including using her looks, charm, and sex appeal to lure in her victims. Her weapons of choice, along with her she quan moves, have been the type that bring a painful, slow death to her targets, such as a needle to the spinal cord, and a razor-thin wire to slit someone's neck, hinting towards her inhumane, merciless nature. She also implies that she viewed her profession as her livelihood as when learning of NiCO's experiment of raising the dead, she quipped that she'd most likely be out of a job should it succeed.
She has demonstrated, at times, to enjoy her job with sociopathic glee, not because of the financial rewards, but for the killings themselves. It's possible she feels a sense of empowerment from her assassinations. On occasion, however, Christie teases or flirts with a person instead of killing them, and she seems quite aware of her attractiveness, as seen in Dead or Alive 5 story mode, when Eliot is seen nervously talking to her at a bar. She also flirted with Bass in a later cutscene, saying she was looking for a "real man". Whether she meant this flirtatiously or jokingly is unknown.
Nonetheless, despite her cold, sadistic nature, she has at times gotten along with people in more peaceful terms, as evidenced by her interactions with several of the other girls both times at Zack's Island, with Leifang in particular having a bit of an affinity to her. In addition, she once tried to get NiCO to get out more and be more personable outside her job, even going as far as to invite her out to lunch, and was willing to aid her in her experiment despite knowing its success would most likely result in her losing her job as an assassin.


Dead or Alive

Diego has the appearance of a latino man, with tawny skin and is of slightly above average height. He is notably muscular, having defined abs and pectorals. He has sharp facial features, an oval jaw, brown eyes, light stubble and bears some scars on both his body and face. He wears his brown hair in a faux hawk type hairstyle and has a piercing on his right ear.
His default outfit is a pair of ripped jeans with a yellow graphic t-shirt that reads "GOT GUTS", over which he wears an open red leather jacket. He completes his look with a pair of black and dark green sneakers, white hand wraps and a chain accessory on the right side of his jeans. He also can be seen wearing a similar outfit to this, except without his leather jacket and with different coloring depending on which recolor you choose. In battle if he suffers a break blow, his shirt underneath his jacket will be torn off, leaving him barechest underneath his leather jacket for the rest of the match while if he's wearing his t-shirt, it'll simply rip off leaving him shirtless.

His quotes when fighting Rig show him to be very confident in his abilities, such as boasting that he'll take on everyone who challenges him and encouraging them to keep on coming. In addition, he is also shown to be serious when dealing with opponents, as he makes clear he has little time for playing games before telling his opponent to fight him with everything he has. He'll also sometimes comment saying that he's only interested in strength and not some title which he considers stupid in reference to the Dead or Alive 6 Championship Title.
Despite his attitude, Diego has a kind and caring side as he fights in order to take care of his mother rather than for his own gain. He also is seen to be pretty respectful fighting famous combatants, as he seems stoked to fight Kula and Mai, as well as any other notable newcomers. He doesn't seem easily intimidated or impressed fighting any of the ninjas however as he calmly tells the opponent to "show" him with no notable change in demeanor.


Dead or Alive

In terms of physical appearance, Hayate doesn't look much different. He's well built, he has brown hair and light brown eyes. He also has a more relaxed expression on his face. As for his clothing, he wears alot of costumes that expose his skin; His usual attire consists of an open black shirt, with only a mesh shirt underneath, complete with jeans and boots. His other outfits include a silver shirt unbuttoned to his stomach, and a pair of red slightly unbuttoned pants, chains on the arms, and he's shirtless and barefoot. He can also wear his karate gi in combat as well.
In the latest title, Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate , his appearance was modified to give him a more realistic appearance, with smaller eyes and less anime-like facial features, as well as somewhat less muscular definition; He loses some of his abdominal and pectoral definition but still retains his toned back and arms. He sports sunglasses, and wears basically older outfits from previous installments. His new outfits still reveal some skin, such as his Incubus DLC Halloween costume, and a casual tracksuit, unzipped all the way to his navel, as well as his 2015 Halloween DLC where he wears a skimpy loincloth with skimpy trunks underneath.

Ein's personality is somewhat similar to Hayate as he seems to be reserved and quiet. However, Ein also seems ignorant at times; he would rather fight than converse to find out answers. Ein prefers to just fight than talk with his opponent.


Dead or Alive

Being the youngest boy in the series, Eliot appears more youthful and, in a way, weaker then the older male fighters: he looks more “baby-faced” with softer, rounder facial features and he has shoulder-length blond hair which covers his clear blue eyes, which have long, dark eyelashes. He is also the smallest out of the guys, and is very slim, with hardly any defined muscles like his older fellow brawlers. In Dead or Alive Dimensions , Eliot has been changed slightly, and now has a slimmer face, wider eyes, and his hair is a touch longer and straighter.
In Dead or Alive 5 , Eliot seems to have a more masculine look, as he is noticed to have more defined muscles, with broader shoulders and a broader back; his lower body as well as his build, however, remain somewhat slimmer than the other male characters. While his chin seems rounder, his lips are fuller.
His hair is still kept straight and is thinner as it was in Dimensions , but it is a more "golden" color than a pale, ash blond. His skin tone appears to look healthier and more of a blush, differentiating from his pale skin from prior games. He wears different hair colors in various collaboration packs in Last Round ; he wears his alternate hair in black in Samurai Warriors DLC and even in pink in his Fairy Tail DLC outfit when he dresses up as Natsu.
Despite being English, most of Eliot’s outfits are inspired by the styles of traditional China. However, his second outfit in Dead or Alive 4 differs greatly from this trend; a more sporty, western look with a red and yellow hoodie, printed with the number 11 in a black circle on the back and left side of the chest, complete with jeans and black trainers.
In Dead or Alive 5 , Eliot keeps his Chinese-influenced suit from Dimensions but has a new secondary costume which further evokes his British heritage, being styled as somewhat of an homage to the 'mod' era, prevalent in Britain during the 60s, the green jacket resembling a parka and the shoes having some visual similarities to boots produced by the footwear brand 'Doc Martens.' His other outfits consist mainly of popular modern fashion, such as skinny jeans, sleeveless hoodies, and even a soccer outfit. Unlike the other men, he very rarely appears shirtless, with him mainly showing off his arms, although he has a few outfits that show his abdomen and inner chest. He has a swimsuit in Last Round , but like his master Gen Fu he wears a modest albeit tight waterproof shirt and tight grey swim shorts, as well as an orange floaty around his waist. It was not until August 2017, that Eliot was given a DLC shirtless swimwear costume that can be accessed by taunting or performing a power blow in combat.
In Dead or Alive 6 his default outfit fuses his previous default outfit with that of his master, suggesting that he has begun to learn the style of xinyi liuhe quan. His alternate hair from the Dead or Alive 5 updates becomes his primary hairstyle.

Eliot appears to be very calm and soft-spoken most of the time and seems very respectful and polite to his elders. However, he is devoted to his art and wants to improve at every waking moment, even going as far as asking his opponents to fight at their full potential.
Unlike the other confident fighters in the series, Eliot also, like most teenagers, seems to be very self-conscious and insecure, especially about his abilities; he is constantly wondering and questioning why Gen Fu chose him alone to be his apprentice, comparing himself to his master in a negative way. However in Dead or Alive 5 he seems to be much more confident in his abilities as well as more determined to prove himself.
It is also noted throughout the series that Eliot has a keen interest in women. This is noted with Eliot's interactions with Ayane and Christie, and sudden nerves after he is told by Hitomi to take her and Leifang seriously. Eliot was also nervous when Honoka was getting too close to him when he was trying to read Gen Fu's secret scroll and was also staring at Tina at the bar due to her beautiful appearance. Unlike Brad Wong however who is far more open and openly flirtatious to women he finds attractive, he appears more reserved and rather shy when interacting with them, with him stammering and blushing when drinking milk at the bar with Christie. He also disapproves of Brad's flirtatious behavior towards Ayane as he helps shove him away before Ayane can even strike him herself much to her own surprise.
In the 6th title, Eliot appears to behave in a more mature manner, sometimes quoting his master about how his fists grow stronger with age, as well as being more notably confident and eager to engage his foes in combat, and even more devoted to his training than before as seen in the story mode. This can sometimes come off a bit comical, as seen in story mode when he tries to remain serious whilst interacting with Honoka, who tries to mimic his technique and unexpectedly invades his personal space.


Dead or Alive

Elise is a fairly tall woman with pale skin, salmon pink hair tied up in a bun (though she eventually manages to quite literally let her hair down after the Owner teaches her the concept of fun), and turquoise eyes surrounded by red eyeshadow. Owing to her business background, she also wore a two-piece swimsuit, called Monochrome, that was modeled after a female CEO. She is also among the bustier women on the island, having a bust size of 94.
In Venus Vacation Prism , Elise wears a black dress with a belt in the center as well as a gold necklace with a pearl at the end. The teaser video also has her wearing a beige business suit-esque vest with a black belt over the dress.

Elise is depicted as blunt and professional, notably directly telling the Owner that she intends to teach him how to do a better job at running the island. Owing to her professional demeanor, she is also shown to be a firm believer in absolute efficiency, often insisting that the Owner focus on his duties and nothing else due to viewing anything other than his immediate job as "a waste of time." It is implied her demands that the Owner focus entirely on the Venus Festival to the exclusion of all else is rooted in her own failure to set up the festival on time. Aside from her professional demeanor, she is also shown to be kind, as evidenced by her volunteering to take Misaki' s place in teaching Tsukushi and Kokoro time management skills. She also was willing to make friends, especially if it was part of her tasks as a Venus.
Largely because of her prior experience as a former owner of at least one of the Venus Islands, and also her adherence to efficiency, she also was willing to pre-emptively and bluntly give her measurements before being asked, as the Owner discovered.


Dead or Alive

As a clone of Kasumi, she looks exactly like her. She has everything from her long copper hair, to her slim physique. She is only seen in Kasumi's original blue ninja dress, and she wears her hair in a yellow ribbon like Kasumi.

Unlike Kasumi α (who later became Alpha-152 ), she isn't evil and doesn't wish to harm anyone. Programmed to obviously think she was the real Kasumi, she attempts to track down Alpha-152 and destroy her once and for all. However, in the story mode, she insists on doing this herself, and refuses Helena, Hayate and Ayane's help. As she travels around, she finds no one connected to the tournament organization knows where Alpha-152 is or wants to assist her, and she grows impatient, particularly at Helena whom she demands to know her location from. Once she does find the location, she acts out of character from the original Kasumi; she becomes very hostile, and seems more than happy to hurt those that stand in her way to Alpha-152, such as Rig and Lisa, without any regrets as they attempt to prevent her from wandering into the MIST facility. She does not, however, wish to fight Ayane, but she does so, as Ayane was in her way to the MIST facility earlier on. She also fought Hayate towards the end with Ayane backing him, but she appeared even more reluctant to fight her "brother".


Dead or Alive

Appearing fully for the first time in Dead or Alive Dimensions , Fame appears to be a dark-skinned, middle-aged man, with a broad, strong body, bearing a strong jaw and very defined cheekbones. His black hair is short, combed back, and is graying in strips along the side of his head. He also sports a neatly-trimmed beard and dark eyes. He wears a dark brown business suit, with a white shirt and a red patterned tie.

It is hard to characterize Fame as not much is known about him, and what is known about him gives the impression that he was a man of mixed morals. For example, he was willing to run a company that creates weaponry and firearms, but he seemed to be against human experiments on a moral basis. In addition to this, he was happy to have many mistresses and engage with multiple, careless relationships, even after getting two women pregnant out of wedlock, but he did take on the responsibility of supporting Helena and Maria.


Dead or Alive

Fiona has wisteria eyes and long hair, with parts of it being tied up in the back in a manner reminiscent of a hairbow. She wears a purple dress that's reminiscent of a fairy tale princess, and places particular emphasis on her cleavage. She also has a purple mantle with a sapphire heart at the center and wore princess heels and silk stockings, alongside a silk garter with a fancy chain. Aside from that, she also had a kimono and a two-piece bikini, all colored with her favorite color of wisteria. One of her swimwear, Serenade, was largely similar to her regular swimwear, only primarily colored white with white frilly sleeves near the mantle as well as a ruby heart at the center (presumably in order to resemble a wedding dress). Her skin has a fairly pale complexion compared to the other girls. Although not nearly as short as Marie Rose , Luna , and Kanna , she is nevertheless one of the smaller girls on the Venus Islands.
In Venus Vacation Prism , Fiona wears a wisteria blouse with a red bowtie in the front as well as a blue/yellow plaid overall-skirt. She also wears an elaborate wisteria-beaded necklace with a blue and white stone in the center.

Fiona is very deeply lovestruck with the Owner, to the extent that she went to the island solely to be closer to the owner. She repeatedly alluded to having a castle near a lake, and at one point implied that she spent enough time within its walls that she was surprised at how vast the world outside its walls was. She also has a very romantic aspect to her personality as, aside from her being deeply in love with the Owner, she also formulated the Dancing Party of Love, and was known to vow to do things "by the power of love". She also inferred that her love of dancing regardless of her actual skill level, as well as her more romantic view on things was derived from a story she had been told. Owing to her more sheltered background as a princess, she is at times shown to be very naïve, as during a date with the owner, she mistook a black-tailed gull with a cat. [3] On a similar note, she also had little to no knowledge or expertise in businesses or marketing, much less how to do so. This was demonstrated where she, in an attempt at doing negotiations with the Owner, asked for a dance hall in exchange for "giving love," which alongside a similar request by Lobelia resulted in the Owner being wiped out due to stress as a result of them overdoing it. Presumably due to her title of Princess and background, she tended to be very formal and polite, also being submissive in overall demeanor. The Japanese version in particular has her refer to her peers, including the Owner and several of the other females, by honorifics such as "-sama", although in Ayane's case, she made her quit using the term regarding her. Despite her more submissive and romantic inclinations, she also has a surprising demonstration of boldness in her acts, as noted by some of the other girls. Owing to her romantic view on things, she also admitted after receiving an Amethyst promise ring that she intended someday to find someone she can protect with the power of love, and even give that someone a ring of their own. Despite her more romantic views, Lobelia infers that Fiona is essentially a tomboy.
She is depicted at times to be clumsy, with it being heavily implied that this clumsiness is a major factor in her poor dancing skills. Once, while dancing with the owner, she ended up accidentally slamming into him mid-twirl, causing her to freeze up in embarrassment.


Dead or Alive

Gen Fu has had the same general appearance since his debut, he's an elderly man who seems surprisingly in shape for a man his age. He has a normal height and build and has tanned somewhat wrinkled skin and a thick white beard that covers his chin, mouth and upper lip. He has long waist length hair but due to age, he's balding on the side of his head and his hair is greyish white so he keeps it braided in a long braid similar to Kasumi's. He has small light blue eyes and always seems to have a serious focused expression on his face.
His main attire consists of a long sleeved baggy martial arts top with striped fur sleeves and pants with the same design and kenpo shoes. His other attires include other similar outfits but he can also dress casually, as seen in his casual DLC where he dons a suit and he also has a beach outfit where he wears a Hawaiian shirt and shorts and a beach hat and shades and sandals.
In Dead or Alive 5 , his appearance is made more realistic but the changes are pretty tame, although his main outfit is now a white variant of his fur kenpo outfit without the fur and he wears a Chinese hat with it as well. His other attires are as previously stated.

Gen Fu is very much an honorable man, as well as a model martial artist. He is wise and kind-hearted, but somewhat gruff and closed compared to other fighters in the tournament. Much like Ryu Hayabusa , he adopts a tranquil nature, much akin to water; free flowing most of the time, but unforgiving and crushing when roused. Furthermore, Gen Fu is very articulate. He paints, writes poems and ponders on the philosophical aspects of his martial art as well as on that of the world around him.


Dead or Alive

In his human form, Genra is a middle-age man with gray hair. He wears a black wooden mask to conceal his face. The embroidered dark haori he wears over his shinobi shozoku signifies his rank as a Master Ninja.
In his Omega form, his body is hulking in stature, his eyes take on a demonic red glow and clad in black, red and gold armor.

Genra seemed at first glance to have been an honorable person. When he noticed that Ayane was introverted and looked down upon, he felt sorry for her and took her in. This resulted in a father/daughter bond between him and Ayane, a kind of parental relationship Ayane had never felt before. However, this is revealed in Dimensions to have been nothing more than a façade. Genra's true persona is that of a manipulative and power-hungry man, willing to do anything to get revenge for playing second-fiddle to the main branch of the clan, such as using Ayane as a tool to destroy the main branch from within.


Dead or Alive

Hayate is a young, muscular man, who has inherited his father's facial features and his mother's hair and eye color. His hair is light brown, straight, and styled so it reaches his shoulders with a center parting. In his original design, Hayate has slightly tanned skin, a slim face with a pointed chin, board shoulders, and light brown eyes. For Dead or Alive 5 , he was re-vamped to have more harder-looking, mature features, including a squared chin and a lower brow. His hair has been given a small cut, so it is only as long as his jawline.
Hayate is typically seen in shinobi armor and body-suits, which could include shin and wrist guards, chainmail, and masks to cover the lower half of his face. Two recurring elements to his costumes include his sword, the Jinran-Maru , and a headband which he will wear around his forehead. He will also wear some casual, everyday clothing from time to time, in order to blend in with normal people and hide his shinobi identity. In Dead or Alive 6 , Hayate's default outfit is nearly similar to Ryu Hayabusa 's who wore a black sleeveless body suit and wears his hood up but his outfit appears as a charcoal gray traditional sleeveless ninja suit with black accents with a matching white and blue sash and his black ninja open-toed boots have white eagle designs in each sides to show his light blue socks. His loose black hood have long ribbons are hanging loose in each sides and wears a matching black ninja gauntlets with white eagle designs and the inner part of his gauntlets are light blue.

Hayate has a powerful sense of duty when it comes to his role as a leader, and as a shinobi of his clan. He is so devoted to the clan's rules and traditions that he would even hunt down his own runaway sister, albeit with much reluctance.
Although he could easily kill an enemy, Hayate is an honorable, caring soul when it comes to his family, friends, and allies. Hayate was close with both of his sisters, and despite the girls' rivalry between each other, he has tried to remain friends with them. Even after Kasumi ran away, Hayate could never bring himself to strike her down or commit to her death. He has also shown that he is a very protective older brother; when Brad Wong tried to hit on Ayane, Hayate was quick to use brute force to get the man away from her.
Hayate has also shown to have a competitive nature, with his friendly rivalry between his friend Hayabusa. While very serious when it comes to important matters, he isn't above having a bit of fun from time to time.
He is also somewhat snarky and arrogant, remarking after winning a fight that no one could face him. Some of his taunts also involve talking down to his opponent, such as calling them 'pitiful' and saying that they could never defeat him. He also taunted Raidou on how after having become such a powerful ninja and lending his hard-earned skills to evil, he became nothing but a reanimated corpse. Sometimes, he can get overconfident to the point where certain things backfire on him, such as ignoring Ayane's warning to not use the Torn Sky Blast on Raidou, which resulted in himself being left comatose.


Dead or Alive

Helena has an upper-class appearance. She is of above average height, with fair skin, a heart-shaped face, sharp facial features, blue-green eyes and blonde hair that reaches down past her waist, styled with segmented center part bangs, and is tied into a low ponytail with a decorative bow; the bow changes color to match her outfits in earlier games.
Her outfits normally consist of dresses and suits, thigh-high boots, ruffles, bows, and cord ties. Her primary outfit is a black, blue and white sleeveless catsuit with long leather thigh semi heel boots. She also wears long gloves, and a brown, silver, and blue vest with yellow tied lace to hold it up. Her outfits are usually opera and French themed, like dresses, suits, trousers, and royal jackets.
In Dead or Alive 5 , her appearance has been altered to give her less of an anime appearance, with smaller eyes and more realistic features. Her hair is also noticeably shorter, no longer past the waist as before, only coming to exactly the waist and stopping near her bottom. Her bow no longer changes color to match her outfits, with it instead being a black lacy bow in all her attires. Her hair can also be worn loose for the first time in the series. In Last Round, she is given a new hairstyle: A side braid that sits on her right shoulder with braided sides. This was called a Royal Braid according to Xtreme Venus Vacation . She also has a half-up ponytail.
In Dead or Alive 6 Helena remains the same but is further detailed, wearing a more modest black Chinese cheongsam dress with a short sleeved embroided vest to go with it. The dress features a simple cleavage opening and is slitted at the sides, and she wears sheer stockings with elegant flat black shoes to complete the look. Her attire is mostly older costumes from Dead or Alive 5 including recolors, and she also receives a new elegant Victorian dress with a  jeweled neck accessory, a matching hair ribbon tied on her side braid, and she wears matching boots that complement the dress's frilled sleeves and skirt hem, and it's colored either black, red, or light blue depending on the recolor.

Initially, Helena was outwardly haughty and unconcerned with other people. Above all else, she was obsessed with seeking revenge on her mother's killer. She appears to be willing to go through any means to achieve this end; however, this quest seems to drive her to an emotional brink. However, Helena is not intentionally cruel and has the ability to be kind and warm. This is shown by her friendships with Kasumi , Leifang and Gen Fu . It's also hinted in her fighter quotes as well as her volleyball quotes that Helena is religious, or at least believes in a god, a heaven, and a hell.
When Helena returns during the events of the fifth tournament, she has gone through a few changes. No longer driven by revenge, she now seeks to reshape her father's company into something that could better benefit the world. On the side, however, she is focused on finding the whereabouts of the missing Donovan as well as Alpha-152. Helena now shows more of her caring side by seeking to ally herself with Kasumi and Hayate. She is also seems to be much friendlier to others, such as Bass Armstrong . However, she shows much more of her kindness when she once again meets with her half-sister, Kokoro. Due to how Kokoro is the only family she has left, Helena is determined to protect her, keeping their connections a secret before reluctantly revealing it when confronted with a picture of their childhood. She even went as far as begging Kokoro to stay. She is also shown to be modest regarding her attempts at running DOATEC, as when Misaki asks if she was a great CEO, she makes clear that, while she does try to be a responsible CEO, she cannot say that she is a particularly great CEO. She isn't above bragging, however, which she admits when receiving a birthday swimwear from the Owner. She may have had a mischevious side as well, as Tamaki claimed that Helena also loved to "prank" girls while smashing watermelons (referring to groping them while they were blind).
Despite all the loss she has endured, Helena is able to accept death and move on from it, something she lectures NiCO about whilst rejecting her plans about resurrecting people. She also is able to move on from those who wronged her, as she doesn't appear to have any true malice towards Christie for example who was responsible for the loss of her mother.


Dead or Alive

Hitomi is of average height, with a slender and athletic build, she has fair skin, bluish-grey eyes and shoulder-length dark brown hair with a front fringe, normally worn with a pink hairband. Although she usually wears a hairband, she sometimes goes without it, and also has three varying styles including two braids, a ponytail at the back, and a bob cut. Throughout the series, her height and bust measurements have changed, through only by a couple of centimeters: In Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball , she is 5'4'' (161 cm) tall with a 89 cm bust; in Dead or Alive 4 , she is 5'3''(160 cm) tall with a 90 cm bust, and in Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 , she is 5'2'' (158 cm) tall with a 89 cm bust.
Her clothing often bears a western appearance, with outfits consisting mostly of jeans, tank-tops, and denim jackets, complete with protective fighter's gloves. A running detail on her jeans is that the back label always bears the initials of the game she's in; for example, in Dead or Alive 4 , the label reads "DOA4". Hitomi also sometimes sports her own emblem, usually printed on the front of her tank-top or the back of her jacket. The emblem, in its simplest form, is the shape of an eagle with fanned-out wings. More detailed versions of the emblem show the eagle in greater style, holding a banner in its talons with Hitomi's name upon it. Phrases like "Thanks for the fight" and "My fists are on fire" may also be printed on it.

Hitomi's 3rd costume  in Dead or Alive 4

In Dead or Alive 5 , her appearance has been made to be more realistic; her face model has been updated (although her ears and face were modified in the final version due to negative feedback), and her hair is now slightly shorter, with more feathered bangs. Her original outfit now consists of a white tank top with a black bra underneath, with sneakers instead of boots. Her secondary outfit is similar except her denim jacket and yellow tube top(returns in Ultimate) has been replaced with a green letterman-style hoodie with the letter "H".
In Ultimate version of the game, she receives a ponytail as her new hairstyle with short side locks and her hair pulled back with a green barrette accessory. In Last Round, she receives a short bob-cut style similar to Christie but with her same normal fringe and slightly more coiffed towards her face. Her headband is of course prominent in all three of her styles although it may change in DLCs such as her Overalls and Cop DLC.
In Dead or Alive 6 she wears her karate attire as her default outfit as a contrast to her primary casual outfits in the previous games. She wears an off-white short sleeved karate gi which is tucked into her black karate belt with both Germany and Japan flags embedded on the right sash. Underneath her outfit is her white tank top with a small black eagle design on front and a matching off-white karate pants. To complete the outfit, she wears a white headband on her forehead.

Hitomi is a friendly, cheerful and energetic young woman but is also a hard-working martial artist, through-and-through. Her victories have come as a result of a grueling, life-long training regimen as well as a complete commitment to her studies and her art. Not only has Hitomi practiced her techniques, she has studied them, coming to understand the deeper principles behind karate as well as of the art itself. Owing to this, some of her training regiment included doing aerobic exercises for the abs and spine, as well as push-ups 500 times each, which she does even during vacations, with beach volleyball , rock climbing , tree climbing, and running a single lap around the perimeter of the island (called a Nimba run) also being implied to be part of the regiment. In addition, Honoka also implied that part of her training regiment when in her home country of Germany involved fighting bears.
She is very much an honorable competitor and always fights fairly in a match, to do otherwise would bring shame to her name, her martial art, and her father's dojo. Her honorable nature was such that she refused any offers of a differing strategy to win even from friends in activities other than Karate. Often after winning, she will compliment her opponent rather than shame them like other fighters in the series. She is also fair in her dealings with others, treating everybody equally and with the respect that they deserve. She will defend others who are being treated harshly, this is demonstrated when she tried to defend Leifang from Jann Lee.
Despite her Japanese name and study in karate, it appears that Hitomi is acclimated more into the German lifestyle than that of the Japanese, having been born and raised in Germany, often sporting Western attire, and having a relatively close, more visible relationship with her German father compared to her relationship with her Japanese mother, who remains unknown.
Hitomi at times can be extremely naïve, as evidenced by her attacking Jann Lee for knocking out a Tyrannosaurus Rex for being "cruel" to it during the fourth tournament, completely missing how Jann Lee had saved her from being eaten. In addition, when Zack orchestrated a second hoax Dead or Alive Tournament, Hitomi was the only one of the girls who had been invited both times to fall for the same trick twice, with the other girls already having their own reasons for going to the island beforehand (and in the case of Kokoro it being her first time going to Zack's Island). On a related note, she's not particularly adept at challenges that require thinking such as puzzles and riddles, which resulted in her delegating the role of festival leader to Luna in a treasure hunting festival to decipher riddles. She also has some hesitancy regarding beauty-related aspects, as evidenced by her pondering how to win the "beauty" portion of the Venus Festival, though she nevertheless remained optimistic.


Dead or Alive

Hitomi's father is a Caucasian man with blue eyes, pale skin, white hair, and a mustache. He has a strong, pointy chin. He is muscular from years of training and running his own dojo.

Hitomi's father is a very strong, determined man of late thirties or early-mid forties. He is very devoted to his art of karate. Hitomi takes greatly after her father. Since he never had a male child, he was harder on her and treated her like an heir. Thus, Hitomi is also strong-willed like her father and bares strength close to a male figure, and is something of a tomboy (particular in wardrobe). He even went as far as to send his teenaged daughter flying across the room with his vicious sidekick to prepare her for the dangers of the tournament and real life.


Dead or Alive

Owing to her status as a Japanese schoolgirl, her default outfit consists of a school uniform including a blazer, as well as a glove that has a winking skull and crossbones logo on the back of the hand.
She has light red eyes, similar to her half-sister, and somewhat tanned skin, along with shoulder length salmon pink hair that is tied into a half ponytail on the left side using a ball with the same winking skull and crossbones motif as her glove, or some variation thereof, save for certain DLC costumes like Last Getaway and New Challengers outfit, which use a flower instead. Honoka currently possesses the largest bust out of all the female characters in the series, a direct contrast to her friend and rival, Marie Rose who possesses the smallest bust, which was even the subject of a pun for their Japanese tag team intro. Her bust size had been hinted at in Famitsu prior to her official announcement, where it mentioned that the new girl had "the biggest." She also has a more curvaceous and voluptuous figure than most of the other younger girls, having very curvy hips, and short but rather shapely legs. She is also one of the shortest characters in the series (with only NiCO , Marie Rose , Kanna and Luna being shorter than her). It is also implied that her massive bust acted as a hindrance towards her wearing swimwear, having them break off multiple times when trying them on (although Honoka herself seems to believe it's due to her eating a lot).
Besides her swimwear, she dresses relatively modestly, which could be due to her innocent nature and grandmother's influence. Some of her outfits also contain a cow motif, such as a cow face print on a t-shirt with "milk" written under it, as well as clothes with a cow marking-print and an attached stuffed cow. In Xtreme 3 , she is able to wear her hair fully down, and in Last Round , she wears Hitomi's bob cut in pink on certain collaboration DLC such as her Schoolgirl Strikers and Arc Systems DLC with a white hairband in the former.

Having been raised all her life by her gentle and loving grandmother, she is, in contrast to her father and half-sister , a sweet, easygoing kind of girl, but when she sees a fight, she cannot contain her excitement or the mysterious power surging within her. Honoka has a strange knack for instantly learning any fighting move she sees. She has kept this power hush-hush, but has been itching to test it out in secret.
Her victory quotes indicate she doesn't even know the origin of her powers and seeks to find out about it. She also gets apologetic and offers to help her opponent up after defeating them, implying that while she does want to test her powers out, she cares for others' well-being and doesn't want to injure people. She believes in helping others, and especially in that doing so nets a reward. However, she isn't above lightly teasing her friends, such as Marie Rose. She also loves to eat, especially during festivals, and has a tendency to overeat during those times.
Honoka is depicted as having a very child-like demeanor (although not to the same extent as Marie Rose). In the Japanese version of Dead or Alive 6 and Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacation , Honoka, similar to Marie Rose, sometimes refers to herself in the third person, although not nearly to the same extent. She seems to be quite naive and oblivious, irritating other characters at times with her lack of perception. During the sixth tournament, Leifang remarks outright that she thinks Honoka is an airhead. Furthermore, Honoka's naivete was such that Misaki would often screen the photographs Honoka sent to her grandma to make sure she didn't send a risque one, being too naive to tell the difference. However, she does at least seem to be aware of these shortcomings, as she thanked Misaki for helping her stay on track for the first covergirl event, citing her own airheaded nature as why she couldn't have done it otherwise. She also has a habit of forgetting people she has met before, such as Ayane and Zack. She talks to animals as if they are people, greeting a dolphin on New Zack Island as "Mr. Dolphin" and proceeding to bow to it while asking if they'll hang out for a couple of weeks. She also often talks to her stuffed animal Mister Moo/Momo (Momo-chan in the Japanese version) as if it is alive, and in Xtreme Venus Vacation has referred to the doll as her "best friend", even sleeping with it when she's away from her grandma. In Warriors All-Stars, she is seen to be quite upset that she doesn't have Mister Moo along with her. Lastly, while proficient with learning various fighting styles, she is not quite as good regarding academics by her own admission. Once, she even requested that Marie Rose tutor her in a subject due to failing a test.


Dead or Alive

Irene's appearence seems to have changed in Dead or Alive: Dimensions from Ninja Gaiden , to match the "anime-style" of Dead or Alive . Her eyes are now blue-green and larger in size, her face is rounder, her lips are now pink, and her hair is slightly short and more layered. She also wears a more casual outfit, as apposed to the CIA Agent dress in Ninja Gaiden , composing of a hot pink corset-like shirt, a green army jacket, ripped black tights, and tanned boots and mini-shirt. She is still pale-skinned, platinum blonde, and still sports her red tattoo, a belt with magazine holders, and cord necklaces, although the cores are now much shorter.

Irene is a headstrong and gutsy woman who is also gifted with a knack for espionage. She is highly skilled with firearms of many different kinds, from hand guns to RPGs. She is also very loving and affectionate to Ryu Hayabusa as well when he is around her. She is quite firm and serious when it comes to her jobs especially dealing with Ayane about Ryu's whereabouts as seen in NInja Gaiden.


Dead or Alive

Jacky is a tall, athletic young male, and the two signatures of his appearance are his spiky blond hair and his red clothing. His hair has changed somewhat since the first Virtua Fighter , going from a wild anime / manga look in earlier games to something more realistic. He doesn't wear as much red as he used to, but it's still there on the jacket of his racing outfit.

Jacky's enthusiasm for speed extends to everything in his life, from his fighting style to his professional racing career. He has little patience for anything or anyone he perceives as too slow. He is extremely confident in his abilities almost to the point of being cocky.
Jacky also values his racing career and would do anything to protect it such as swearing to put an end to the group J6 for killing off his racing sponsors.


Dead or Alive

Jann Lee has a slightly tanned complexion, which appears darker in the later games. He has spiky dark-brown hair, small light-hazel eyes, and peculiar looking eye brows; going down in a curve with a thin part going up. One other noticeable feature in all of his appearances is his muscular build, which is apparent as he usually appears shirtless. He is startlingly buff, with highly defined biceps and arms, broad chest, carved abdominal six-pack, and a muscular back.
Most of the muscular men wear shirts, but not Jann Lee; showing his upper body, he usually only wears kenpo pants, and sometimes, different martial arts outfits ranging from Bruce Lee's signature yellow jumpsuit, to Kung-fu suits with a dragon emblem, also usually associated with Bruce Lee. Being a bouncer of a high-class club, several of his outfits are also formal suits.
In Dead or Alive 5 , his overall design was changed only slightly. While still retaining his signature hair, muscular build, and outfit themes, he appears to have a lighter, more yellow-toned skin, making him look closer to his Chinese roots. He also has a more natural muscular build, and more natural, realistic facial features. He has a new traditional martial arts outfit for his first costume. His previous first outfit is now his second. He can also wear a white button-up shirt and slacks, a bouncer style business suit, and in the Ultimate version, he wears a MMA style wrestling trunks outfit, which is his most revealing costume in the series.

Being a self-taught master of Jeet Kune Do, Jann Lee is a very confident fighter. In fact, he can become so overconfident to the point of him appearing quite arrogant, which is rather contrary to the laid-back personality of Bruce Lee, whom he is based off. Before fights, he sometimes declares another win for himself, or that his fist has never once let him down. Jann Lee also loves to fight. Seeking to prove his strength against strong opponents, he never stops looking for a challenge, which is again contrary to Bruce Lee, who preferred to teach others rather than test his own skills. After winning a fight, he'll comment on how weak the opponent was; things like "You'll have to hit me harder than that!" , or "Come on, make my blood boil!" , suggesting his desire to fight a stronger opponent.
However, he has also shown care and respect to others at times and has been seen to develop positive relationships with other fighters over the course of the series, including Hayabusa and most notably Leifang.
In addition, Jann Lee likes to train constantly, and when he's not sparring, he's working out. For him, physical conditioning is almost an obsession. Jann Lee believes in strength and power, and that one must feel the power within oneself. He respects other individuals who display their own confidence and strength.


Dead or Alive

Unlike the other vacation-going girls at the Venus Islands, even Nyotengu, her non-human features are extremely evident in her small horns, as well as her pointed ears, and sharp fangs. She possesses fair skin, auburn hair worn in twin-tails, and gold eyes with catlike slits for pupils. Similar to Nyotengu, she also has red markings around her eyes that resemble eyeshadow. She also has the second-smallest proportions of the girls (with only Marie Rose having less), and is among the shortest girls on the island (only being a couple of inches taller than Marie Rose at most). Her short stature is such that she was at least once mistaken for a human child. Despite her species being an ogre/oni, however, similar to Nyotengu, she has more similar features to that of humans, namely a more standard skin pigmentation instead of red or blue pigmentation, and overall having a shorter disposition compared to most humans, let alone oni (who generally tower over humans).
One of her outfits, Lightning Speed, depicted her with nail extensions that made her fingernails appear long and clawlike. In addition, the attire itself utilized tiger pelts, referencing a stereotypical garb for oni. Both her Pandamonium and Lightning Speed outfits feature a gold choker containing an aqua-colored Magatama bead, which are ornamental and ceremonial beads that were prevalent in and created during Ancient Japan.

Kanna is shown to be very casual with the owner, arguably rivaling even Misaki , as evidenced by her constantly referring to him by very informal terms such as "heeey" (omae in the Japanese version). Similar to her rival and sort-of friend Nyotengu, Kanna is also shown to be a jokester, such as her at times lying about certain elements. She is also prone at times to throwing tantrums, namely when she doesn't get her way or when Nyotengu gets involved. She is also shown to be very vain and possibly lustful, as she often goes to great lengths to appear extremely sexy to the Owner and frequently refers to herself as sexy. Despite her demeanor, however, she possesses a lonely side, as she broke down upon realizing that once the festival is over, she'll be all alone due to everyone leaving, which is implied to be related to her significantly longer lifespan compared to humans. Although a bit more tolerant of it compared to Marie Rose, she also was shown to have distaste to being compared to a child or mistaken for one, as evidenced by her reprimanding Nagisa when she explained she thought the owner had been taking advantage of her and that she was a child, and explaining that, if anything, she was over a thousand years older than Nagisa, and later when she angrily demanded that Nyotengu stop treating her like a child during a summer festival. Once, she even got into an intense rivalry with Marie Rose regarding who was the more "adult" among them after the two inferred the other was child-like. On a similar note, she wasn't fond of anyone comparing her to species other than her own, as evidenced by her telling off Hitomi for comparing her to a Kappa during an intense heat wave.
She also doesn't like being patted on the head near her horns, since they were extremely sensitive, as she admitted to Misaki. However, she was tolerant of being patted there if it's from people she's exceptionally close to, as evidenced by her final character episode where she explicitly grants permission for the Owner to do so after she did her part well in a festival.
In contrast to Nyotengu, Kanna was shown to have some knowledge about modern technology and customs, such as doxxing.
Owing to her Oni/Ogre background, she has little understanding about positive surprises, as when acting the role of a Santa's reindeer helper for kids visiting the island, she initially indicated some ideas for Christmas gifts that will "scare [the human kids'] pants off" due to being told that they were meant to be surprise gifts, causing Sayuri to gently tell her off and explain the point was to make them happy, not scared, much to Kanna's confusion.
It is to be noted that, although Kanna is technically female, she uses more masculine language in the Japanese version as, aside from her frequently referring to the Owner as "Omae" (an informal way of saying "you" that's almost exclusively used by males), she often ends her sentences with "zo" (a Japanese particle used by men to add emphasis). This was considerably downplayed in the English localization.


Dead or Alive

Kasumi is a slender, physically-fit, and petite young woman. She was designed to appear "soft" (based on the idea that Dead or Alive is softer in concept compared to Ninja Gaiden , thus making her symbolic of the series) so she was originally designed with a childlike and youthful appearance, with fair skin, a round face, small facial features and wide, amber eyes. For Dead or Alive 5 , her design was slightly altered to appear more mature, so she now has an oval-shaped face and narrowed eyes. Her hair is also seen noticeably shorter when worn down, as it only reaches to her lower shoulders, rather than her hips.
Originally, her long hair appeared to be a chestnut brunette. However, since Dead or Alive 2 , it has lightened over the years to a ginger or copper shade. To date, she has had the following different hairstyle options: a low or high ponytail, a low or high side ponytail, a french braid, or her hair down, along with two different colored ribbon options.
Her trademark outfit is a blue, side-tie dress with short puffy sleeves, white trim, her name (written in Japanese) stitched in gold on the back, and a light-colored phoenix pattern on the skirt, complete with stockings, low heeled sandals, blue & white leg guards and arm-guards. As well as this outfit - and variations of said outfit - Kasumi sports other shinobi costumes as well as modern casual clothes and Japanese school uniforms, suited for average, everyday girls.
In Dead or Alive 5 when she was under Muramasa's care, she was seen wearing a blue short-sleeved traditional kimono dress with a red rope tied on her back and white flower designs on her baggy sleeves. She also wears a black obi with two white leaf designs and white tabi.
As she infiltrates MIST, saving her older brother Hayate and fighting against Alpha-152 during Phase 4, she wears a black sleeveless v-neck skin-tight ninja suit with a blue bra underneath and four holes in each side on her top, matching black leg guards and boots. She also wears matching black long leather gloves and wears a blue choker on her neck. Kasumi's ribbon is now blue instead of yellow when she is tied in a high ponytail until she removes it in the end as her wakizashi sword on her back is tied in a blue rope instead of red. Her ninja suit resembles a catsuit as opposed to her trademark outfit.
In Dead or Alive 6, Kasumi receives a brand new default costume in the form of a predominantly black ninja bodysuit with white gloves and what looks like tabi with heeled kunoichi shoes, as well as sections with blue accents. Her suit is detailed with her name in gold Japanese Kanji on the back like her various ninja attire, armored pads on her arms, and shins, and she wears her sword on her lower back. She once again dons her blue ribbon in this outfit, and she has a small Sakura flower symbol on the front of the bodysuit as well. Like the other characters, she has other recolors of this outfit that the player will freely be able to choose, and she also receives a new outfit in the form of a long sleeved overall sweater dress with flower decals, thigh high leggings and leather low heeled boots with additional recolors.
Like the other fighters, if she is hit with a break blow, her ponytail will come undone letting her hair down. Her loose hair is noticeably somewhat thicker and longer than before as well, no longer being as thin as before.

Kasumi is portrayed throughout the Dead or Alive series as a more compassionate character than many of the other fighters. She is an honorable and kind spirit, and although a highly skilled kunoichi with deadly abilities, she does not enjoy or wish to fight. Many of the statements she makes in the game series before a round begins reflect her desire to avoid confrontation. Much of the reasoning behind this comes from the fact that in all appearances in the tournaments (with the exception of the first) her motive was not to fight or win but to meet Hayate.
Kasumi is shown to be a "soft" character; she is not afraid to speak her mind, but as a soft person, she is emotional, honest, and always helps people. She is a highly intelligent, caring, and gentle person. She is demonstrably family orientated and would like nothing more than to return home in peace. There were instances where she refused to show mercy, however, such as when she willingly goes to take revenge upon Raidou and subsequently kills him in the first game, and fighting her numerous evil clones throughout the series.
However, in Dead or Alive 5 , in the last chapter of story mode, Kasumi's personality has changed drastically. She's still the caring person that she is, however, Kasumi is shown to be mentally stronger. She is shown to engage in battle when she needs to instead of avoiding it. An example of this is when she fights Christie, who was in her way. She also has a much stronger will as she was ready to destroy the Phase 4 project and defeat Victor Donovan at any cost. She is seen to be much happier as well and is finally at peace with both Hayate and Ayane. She also seems to have great maturity for someone her age. She still longs to return home however, and keeps in touch with her mother whom she also misses through writing letters.
The Xtreme series implies she is somewhat modest about revealing her body, as in Xtreme 2 and Paradise if she performs a pole dance , she admits feeling a little embarrassed about it. Likewise, in Xtreme Venus Vacation , she is shown to be embarrassed at having to wear an extremely revealing outfit, and it is also shown that it can be tough for her at first to talk with new and unknown people, but after a while she can show a happy and friendly side, and also being in a place without the constant pressures of her life she also can show a carefree attitude, without the worry of being pursued or having to engage in combat. The game also shows that Kasumi can be easily embarrassed by many things beyond revealing her body, like getting a gift she thought she didn't deserve or being praised for her beauty, among other things, showing her as very humble and down to earth to whomever she interacts with.
In Dead or Alive 6, it seems like Kasumi has fully grown into a willing fighter as she no longer shows any reluctance to fight, especially when seen in her intro pose against Raidou whom she harbors a strong hatred for. She still however questions her reason for fighting Ayane and Hayate. She overall appears to be at her peak in terms of mental and physical strength and shows no fear when it comes to protecting her siblings and those she cares about.


Dead or Alive

As a perfect clone of Kasumi, Kasumi α looks just like her: a slender, physically-fit teenage girl of average height, with a round face, small facial features, and wide amber eyes. Her copper-colored hair is worn loose primarily but she is also able to wear all of Kasumi's normal hairstyles.
The clone wears a pink body suit, with a matching scarf around her neck, and dark-pink boots, sleeves, and sash around her waist. Kasumi can also wear this outfit in certain games, so to avoid confusion, when the real Kasumi wears the pink suit, Alpha's suit turns to black. She also has access to a white recolor of this costume as well.

Although she is a perfect physical clone of Kasumi, Alpha doesn't share the same compassionate, friendly nature of the original. She seems to act like a misguided child with too much power and acts immature and irreverent to anyone other than Donovan, whom she looks up to as a father figure, and Hayate, who she sees as her brother. She seems to have a more carefree disposition as she is able to wander the DOATEC Facility as she sees fit, although Lisa seems to suggest that she needs permission to carry out her actions although its obvious she doesn't obey her orders.
Although childish, Alpha has a very wicked edge to her: for example, her obsession with Hayate makes her go as far to free Kasumi from her cell with the sole intention of killing her so she could have Hayate all to herself. Just before Kasumi fought her, Alpha gave out a menacingly amused laugh, sounding almost mad and evil, as Kasumi stood there shocked and distressed while she thinks the clone had done something to Hayate. She was also willing to fight Kasumi without a second thought, giving a smug grin as she did. Despite this, however, she had a conflicted soul that seemed to twist her personal obsession with Hayate with her loyalty to Donovan whom she considers her "father".
Alpha has shown a degree of perception as well; when Alpha overhears Bayman, Helena, and Christie, she shows she isn't fooled when Christie claims loyalty to Donovan and thinks that she also wants him dead. Despite this, when Christie orders Alpha to capture Helena, she obeys without question. She is however noted to have a seemingly disobedient streak when left alone, as she set Kasumi free from her lab confinement to lead her into the Bio Lab where she fights Kasumi, which has Lisa scold her for not following her orders to not do anything without permission, as well as telling an angry Kasumi that Hayate was also confined in the area as well, much to Lisa's shock.


Dead or Alive

Koharu has pale skin, black hair worn in a side ponytail held by a pink string with a gold jingle bell, and purple eyes. She is not as busty as the other girls, but still possesses an ample chest. Her main attire, Hospitable Beauty, is a slightly revealing kimono, similar in overall appearance to the Stylish Blossom outfits, albeit with yellow mixed in. Her belt buckle has a stylized owl on it. It also included an apron, which according to Koharu had been made by her mom shortly before she left for the Venus Islands. Although nowhere near as short as Marie Rose or Kanna , she is nevertheless one of the smaller girls on the island.

Owing to her desired career choice, Koharu was shown to be meek, dutiful, and submissive. She also utilized respectful terms towards the Owner and to a lesser degree the other Venuses (initially referring to the latter party by the suffix "-Sama" in the Japanese version and the pronoun "Ms." in the English localization until Leifang told her such wasn't necessary). Similar to Marie Rose and Patty in the Japanese version, she at times refers to herself in the third person, although not nearly to the same extent. This trait likewise is toned down in English localizations. She also has some degree of insecurities about herself and whether she'll succeed at being a good innkeeper, even deliberately going to the island to ensure she doesn't "go easy on [herself]," and also tending to lament whenever she makes any failures to her training and get apologetic. Partly because of her insecurities, she also tended to get reckless to her own well-being to ensure she does a good job, a notable instance of this is when she overworked cleaning the onsen and ended up becoming unwell enough that she passed out with a significant fever and had to be confined to a bed.


Dead or Alive

Compared to the other female brawlers in the series, Kokoro is considered the most feminine and girly in appearance. She has black, bottom-length hair worn loose with a small segment tied in a decoration up front on the left-hand side of her face and also has gray eyes, full lips, rosy cheeks, pale skin, and soft facial features. She is of average height and one of the shortest fighters with a petite body. In Dead or Alive Dimensions , her hair is tied back with a yellow bow, due to the graphical limitations of the Nintendo 3DS . Her re-design in Dead or Alive 5 was left pretty much unchanged for her original appearance, however her face was slimmed to a oval shape and her eyes are not as round any more. Her hair has also been slightly shortened from bottom length to about waist length and is thinner while her bangs are also adjusted to be more natural and less unnecessarily long. Her hair decoration on her shoulder length side lock has also been redesigned and is smaller and the player can choose one of four different variants to wear at the character select. Aside from her signature hairstyle, she also has at times worn her hair in a single ponytail from the back, as twin pigtails, and also unswept to the side.
Her trademark outfit is a pink kimono with a brightly colored floral pattern. While it appears to be a proper, decorative kimono with a red collar of a maiko and an obi sash around the waist, it is actually incorrectly dressed so the skirt is loose, allowing Kokoro to move with more ease while fighting as well as giving her some sex appeal by exposing her legs. The outfit also includes okobo sandals and a type of sock known as tabi . It should be noted that while Kokoro had the kimono since her first appearance in Dead or Alive 4 , she is only seen wearing it during the opening sequence and it was not available during gameplay. The kimono later became a playable costume in Dead or Alive: Dimensions and Dead or Alive 5 .
Other costumes Kokoro has sported in the series include alternative kimono and yakata, school uniforms, and casual clothing involving skirts or the colour pink. Her default swimsuit in Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 is the Sweet Cherry: a side-tied pink bikini with a top designed to expose a lot of cleavage. In Dead or Alive 5 , she wears more school-girl and gym inspired outfits from before, and she even receives an updated version of her mini skirt and off the shoulder top from Dead or Alive 4 . In Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate , she can also wear her hair in a shoulder length side-ponytail for the first time as well with a lavender bow. In the Last Round version of the game she receives an additional hairstyle: A ponytail with braided sides and adjusted bangs that feature a parted section as well as straight cut. In Dead or Alive 6 she receives a new hairstyle: Two low pigtails with pink hair bands.

Due to her strict up-bringing and her job profession, Kokoro is well-mannered and well-spoken but also delicate and soft in nature. Similar to Kasumi, Kokoro appears to be one of the more merciful and gentle-spirited fighters; after she wins a fight, she may ask if she hurt her opponent too much or if she has gone too far with the fight and extends an apology. She is also very hospitable and immediately helps people in need like the time she wants to help the ill Kasumi but her help was denied due to Ayane hunting her. Kokoro is very kindhearted and sweet to others and for a girl her age, is very mature beyond her years.
She does seem weak emotionally at times. She does indeed fight to the best of her ability but, if she loses, she calls out for her mother. This would indicate that although she is confident in her style, losing proves to be a bit too much for her. Her sheltered life and Miyako's protectiveness over her could have made it hard for her to adapt to the harsh reality of the tournament.
Kokoro tends to not react strongly to being startled or surprised. Even when objects are exploding around her it takes her quite a long time to react to them. Jann Lee threw a pair of nunchaku to Kokoro only to have them fly right past her and draw her into total bemusement. When Helena confirms their relationship and that Fame Douglas is her father, Kokoro seems to take a few seconds to process the information.
Aside from her merciful personality and innocence, she is shown to have a short temper, the only time she acts harshly in words or actions is when Brad made an advance on her and she pushed him away, the time that Ayane called her a liar and not being polite, and Lisa who accidentally bumped into her and told her to be vigilant on her surroundings. She also shows this in Dead or Alive 6 when NiCO tries to empathize with her for her mother's sudden absence.


Dead or Alive

Kula has fair skin, long flowing bottom length light blue loose hair (which was a side effect of NESTS' experiments on her) with the bangs covering the forehead and magenta eyes, with blunt short Hime sidelocks stopping at the length of her mouth. An icy aura effect also constantly surrounds her due to her ice properties. In her default outfit, she wears a black, white and red coat and matching pants with a line through the front of the feet, and also wears gold-tipped gloves and boots. She also has two recolors of her default outfit in white and black, and her DLC costumes include a pink nurse uniform, a pirate costume and a maid dress. She also has a unique bunny costume consisting of a long-sleeved leotard, as well as a wedding costume.

While working for NESTS, she would not fail to kill anyone she found unworthy. During her time with NESTS, her feelings were repressed, as she was portrayed as a cold girl executing her mission. Her personality later warmed, with her becoming more childish. Kula is trying hard to establish herself as a humane person, so people don't look at her as if she is some kind of weapon. She doesn't use her powers to their full extent and prefers close combat instead to avoid killing anyone by accident, because she fears that it would make her go back to her previous ways. After beating her opponents Kula is usually worried about them. Despite being this sweet innocent girl, Kula has some anger management issues. They are mostly the results of people either talking down to her, underestimating her, or reminding her of her origins and calling her a weapon.
In Dead or Alive 6, she carries herself the same way as she's not afraid to fight, and seems confident in her abilities. She cheerfully sometimes apologizes to her foe due to being too strong for them, and will even yawn before waving and saying bye to her defeated foe. She will also taunt her foe when performing her break blow, and will gleefully laugh and taunt them from specific throws and holds showing her carefree and relaxed attitude in the midst of battle. She also seems to fear her former employers, as when encountering NiCO, she asks if she's affiliated with NESTS in a fearful tone.


Dead or Alive

While Leifang has always had a slender and petite build of average height, with a very girly, youthful appearance, pale skin, dark brown eyes, and a small face, her appearance has changed considerably since the first Dead or Alive . In the first game, her hair was short and tied back in a high ponytail, which made her look somewhat tomboyish. Since Dead or Alive 2 , her facial features have become rounder and softer. Her hair has also become much longer. It is normally tied in two braids, looped round, and pinned on either side of her head. Other hairstyles that Leifang can have include a ponytail, pigtails, or her hair down. Her hair color has changed often in the series, particularly in the various iterations of the first game where her hair takes on numerous shades of black, brown, blue and even purple. Promotional artwork for Dead or Alive 2 even depicted her hair as having a shade of green. However, she is most commonly depicted with dark brown hair.
Her outfits have also become more feminine; in the original game, her clothes consisted of trousers, shorts, and flat shoes with simple detailing. Later, she started to sport high-heels and long, formal-looking, body-hugging cheongsams or qipao. They are often embroidered with Chinese-inspired patterns of birds and flowers. Most of her wardrobe consists of her simply wearing them in different colors.
However, in recent installments, she can wear more cosmopolitan outfits, such as long skirts and tank tops to loose shirts and blazers. In Dead or Alive 5 , her overall design had been altered. Her hair only reaches to her mid-back and her cheongsams have become shorter in length. Aside from loose hair and braids, in Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate , she can now wear her hair in twin pigtails, which is a hairstyle seen in her Dead or Alive 3 ending. Even the outfit she wore in the ending can be unlocked as well.
In Last Round she can wear her hair in a new unique style: she wears most of it loose with the sides braided back in a ponytail, and she now has side locks slightly shorter than the rest of her hair, as well as her fringe slightly adjusted. Her hair is changed to her original black color in a few DLC such as her Aquaplus one, and she even wears Chinese chignon twin buns in her Mandarin DLC that's quite similar to her single bun from previous entries in the series.
In Dead or Alive 6 , Leifang was now seen accessorized with white ox-horns. Her outfit is a yellow and white Chinese-style midriff with a black trim which also shows her waist and black ribbons in each sides at the edge of her folded sleeves, a matching white and yellow trousers with black designs and black sneakers with white and yellow designs and cream soles. She also wears black fingerless gloves with a yellow trim and red bands in each sides.

Leifang is kind-hearted, spunky, intelligent, and cheerful young woman with a wonderful spirit. Practicing martial arts has given her a strong dedication to self-improvement, both mentally and physically. She hopes that by honing her own skills, she can eventually help others to do the same. At the same time, her young age and general inexperience with the world around her can sometimes keep her from fully thinking things through.
Along with a strong motivation for self-improvement, Leifang is also somewhat prideful and becomes angry if she feels she is being taken advantage of or being looked down upon. Such as the case when she told Hitomi to stay out of her affairs between her and Jann Lee. This may be the core reason for her fixation and need to prove herself to Jann Lee after he rescued her. In spite of all this, she is usually friendly and compassionate to other people. However, she has proven to have an uncontrollable and violent temper at times, generally in response to being touched inappropriately, even if under accidental circumstances.
She proves to be a just young woman as she saved a child from abduction in the her Dead or Alive 3 epilogue (similar to how she was saved by Jann Lee), even taking down a knife-wielding opponent. She also stands up to Bass when he bullies people after losing in the casino during the Dead or Alive 4 tournament. Due to her determination to prevail over Jann Lee, she seems to have disregarded how much she has achieved through her constant training and perfection in martial arts. Leifang also never gives up and she will continue toward her goal until she succeeds, showing her strong willpower and tenacity.
In Dead or Alive 5 , she is also sometimes childish and is very prideful and peppy, even making a surprised giggle when knocked over ledges in some stages. But Leifang is also very serious during her training and to her matches, especially to a strong opponent. In Dead or Alive 6, Leifang is even more serious than before, declaring to her opponent that the fight is hers. When matched up against guest characters, she will also eagerly engage her foe wanting to see which one of them is stronger.


Dead or Alive

He is a tall muscular man with close shaved facial hair. His hair appears to be grey. He has a few wrinkles on his face due to his age. His eyes are dark blue.
His recurring attire includes a desert camouflage shirt which is kept open to reveal his torso, black fingerless gloves, a pair of grey pants tucked into boots with green laces. There is a red bandanna or cloth wrapped around his left knee. He also wears a turban on his head that is tan colored with red and green stripes.

Leon is a driven individual, a veteran soldier who is torn over the loss of his lover. He appears cruel and both merciless with his combat style and his personality, as he always insults and threatens his opponents by saying phrases like "Do you want to die?" or "Insolent whelp". He has some small measure of honor and seems to have a sense of humor, though he does not allow it to interfere with his desire to crush all opponents, and he is not unwilling to speak down to his opponents, especially those younger than him. Another recurring quote from him - especially before facing an opponent for the second time - is "I am sick and tired of your face".
However, although a tough fighter, Leon also has a softer side, shown through his devotion to his lover Lauren, and his need to fulfill his promise to her. The death of his lover, her last words, and his commitment to her are just about all he thinks about.


Dead or Alive

Lisa is a young dark skinned woman with a voluptuous and athletic build, who has short bob brunette hair, dark brown eyes, and full lips. She sometimes has to wear black, square-framed reading glasses, which she mostly wears during her work as a scientist.
Her luchadora costumes are very flamboyant and flashy, with added details such as shiny studs and colorful feathers. Her masks are all based around the shape of a butterfly, to match her persona as "The Butterfly." Her original default costume is a white one-piece that shows off her waist and back, with added strips of material that act as a "skirt." The outfit is complete with lace-up boots, leopard-print stockings, various armbands, and a mask with a cap which covers most of her head so only her eyes and the lower half of her face are visible.
In Dead or Alive 5 , she has a more realistic appearance, with the same short haircut, but lighter skin and smaller, mature-looking eyes. Her costumes are divided between her wrestling persona, "La Mariposa", and her regular self. Her new default Luchadora outfit consists of a red and orange wrestling top showing her stomach, tight pants with red-orange decals, and a frilly flamboyant eye-mask. As Lisa, she wears expensive clothing, with designer pants, sunglasses, and even fur coats, suggesting a higher class of living (her being of higher class was earlier hinted in Xtreme 2 where her hotel room was the Gemstone Suite). She also wears a lot of high-heels, tight skirts, party dresses, and formal attire. In Last Round she received a new hairstyle: a short white cropped haircut that compliments her darker complexion well.
In Dead or Alive 6 , her luchadora costume is now gold and brown with armor designs and an emerald gem at the center of her lower breast. She has a long pink and yellow feathered accents at the back and a matching gold wrestling boots and black kneepads. Her luchadora mask is a darker shades of gold with pink feathered accents with red several beads and the emerald gem in the center. She also has a charcoal gray elbow pads in each sides.

It would seem that Lisa is, at the very least, a nice and very intelligent woman. She appears to be able to connect with most of the women during their island holidays, being able to draw up conversation even with the likes of the taciturn Christie and the normally indifferent Ayane .
Lisa also seems to be a bit of a "workaholic," evident by her multiple jobs and the fact that she is almost always seen doing some form of work - her multiple careers and job-changing is a trait she shares with Tina. She is possibly one of, if not the most, intelligent woman in Dead or Alive , as shown by her previous job as a head scientist for DOATEC and her refined speech patterns.
Working with DOATEC, the main antagonistic force in Dead or Alive , however, doesn’t mean that Lisa is immoral; in fact, she is quite the opposite, showing friendly and sometimes compassionate behavior: It was she who released Hayate from his capture during Project Epsilon, and it was also her that started the attack by the Mugen Tenshin Clan as a way to stop Alpha-152, the then latest creation by DOATEC. Owing to this, she also does not believe in doing research for the sake of it, and instead believes that one needs to have the right motivation for doing it, as she makes clear to NiCO.
In Dead or Alive 5 , her behavior changes depending on the outfit selected; If wearing wrestling attire as La Mariposa, she is very loud, and energetic in her introductions, yelling and jumping, obviously to work up her audience. Her winposes are quite suggestive, and she seems rather confident in her abilities. As Lisa, she is more reserved, asking before a match if the opponent really wants to fight that badly. Upon a victory, she blames her opponent for wanting to fight, and even says they're pretty terrible, while giving them a dissapointed and unsatisfied look. She seems quite prideful and just as confident in her abilities as her persona, as she asks her opponent if they really thought they'd win, while smiling sweetly whilst crossing her arms with an air of composure.
Similar to her best friend Tina, she also has a somewhat independent streak, as she makes clear upon defecting from MIST that she does not trust either DOATEC under Helena or MIST under Donovan (although she does admit that she trusts the latter even less).


Dead or Alive

Lobelia has pale skin, long dark blue hair with a braid on the right side, green eyes, and similar features to Fiona, albeit with a smaller chest. On a similar note, she also is among the girls on the island to have the smallest breasts, with only Kanna and Marie Rose having a smaller chest size. Her default attire, Fierte Midi, is an elaborate but revealing indigo dress somewhat resembling a noblewoman's outfit.

Owing to her horticultural expertise, she tends to make flower comparisons, is fluent in the flower language , and is even able to deduce girls' names by comparing their statures to those of flowering plants. She also tends to treat her flowers as if they are her pets or siblings, even naming some, and admits this may make her seem weird. She is able to deduce the precise location a plant needs to be at to flourish optimally, as demonstrated with her aiding Sayuri in finding out why a particular plant was still wilting despite her efforts. She can also be fairly mischevious, such as when she managed to do a vice grip on the Owner's arm when first meeting him under the pretense of being escorted to her hotel room, as well as when she pretended to not recognize her friend Fiona when reuniting with her. Her mischevious side is also shown when meeting Kanna and Marie Rose where she jokingly confirmed Kanna's suspicions that she was a yokai (a flower fairy , more specifically) regarding accurately deducing their names via flower characteristics before the Owner interjected. She seems to be at least somewhat aware of her mischevious nature, as she indicated that was also what her namesake flower represented.
Due to her noble background, Lobelia in the Japanese version speaks with formal Japanese known as Keigo, although not nearly to the same extent as with her friend Fiona. Likewise, she also shows some awareness of the baggage that noble life has, as she admits to Nanami during small talk that marriages within nobility are rarely happy ones. Largely because of her relatively sheltered life as an aristocrat's daughter, she also had little to no knowledge or expertise in business or marketing. This was demonstrated when she, in an attempt at doing negotiations with the Owner, requested a cabin cruiser (though her specification of 80 feet long implies she was actually asking for a yacht) in exchange for whatever the Owner wanted, which alongside a similar request by Fiona resulted in the Owner being wiped out due to stress as a result of them overdoing it.


Dead or Alive

Luna has blue eyes, a pale complexion and chin length pinkish-white hair in a bob cut with no bangs. She also has a shorter hairstyle with hairpins and pigtails, as well as one that obscures her right eye. She also wears Native American tribe-style accessories both in her hair and on her outfits. She's also fairly short among the girls, being around Honoka 's height, and is among the bustier girls on the island.

She is noted to be self-absorbed, yet seems somewhat emotionless. She claims to be a scholar, coming to the Venus Islands to discover its secrets, although it's uncertain whether this is true or whether she is really just there for the roasted sweet potatoes, her favorite food, which she implies is because they give her fond memories of her time with her grandfather in her home country. Besides her love of roasted sweet potatoes, she is also implied in her character episodes and first birthday episode to have a large appetite.
She is somewhat eccentric, as she tends to use rabbit like poses, putting her hands over her eyes in a similar manner to goggles, and even using the onomatopoeia for hopping ("Pyon" in the Japanese versions, "Boing" in the English versions). Once, she even requested that Kasumi lather her up even more when the latter indicated the soap suds made her look like a rabbit. Largely because of her eccentricity and the way she worded her goals on the island, Ayane and Hitomi speculated that Luna may have been an extraterrestrial. She was also extremely secretive, as Helena herself noted when interacting with her.
She has a tendency to be rather brash and reckless, for example in the "Targeted Island" Event Episode story arc, where she attempted to train for the Rivals Festival, but caused a panic among the island due to her interpreting "secret training" to mean train in the dead of night, which caused the Owner to fear that the island was the victim of corporate espionage by a rival firm when a shadowy figure was reported to be seen on the island. Another demonstration of her occasional brashness was when she literally got between Leifang and Tina just as the latter party, seeing no apparent solutions to their disagreement, were about to engage in a physical brawl in order to break it up. She was also shown to be either ignorant or unconcerned with social conventions, as she openly walked into the bedroom while barely wearing a towel in order to ask for Momiji's help applying lotions on her back, apparently unaware it was inappropriate, especially while Momiji had company in the form of the Owner.
Despite her more self-absorbed nature, however, she was shown to care about the well being of others, as she volunteered to cheer on Fiona for her rock climbing, and even gave her some encouraging advice on how to do so during Fiona's second attempt. She also apologized to Hitomi for falsely claiming that there was one more hint to the treasure hunt.
In the Japanese version, similar to (though not to the same extent as) Marie Rose, she also sometimes refers to herself in the third-person, namely when declaring she intends to cover actions and/or stating she's in the room.


Dead or Alive

Mai has fair skin, long dark brown hair tied into a tight high topknot style waist length ponytail with parted bangs and light brown eyes.
In her default outfit, she also wears black two-toed shoes with red linings. Similar to Kasumi , she wears a kunoichi dress as her default, although her dress was primarily red in color and was sleeveless, as well as two red and white tassels at the back containing orbs of the opposite colors, and circular ropes around her shoulders. She also wears another dress that was similar in overall appearance, but was blue instead of red. She also carries a Japanese war fan.
The only thing in common with her various outfits are her twin tassels at her back (which are always colored in a similar manner to her current attire) and her paper fan (of which the edges have a similar color to the attire she's currently wearing).

Mai is a very cheerful and temperamental girl. She can tend to also be somewhat of an airhead and admires any kind 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 dreams to get married with her prince charming. She found that same Prince Charming in Andy and self-proclaimed herself his fiancé, which at times, have creeped out Andy himself. A notable example of this 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.
Although her peppy fighting persona suggests otherwise, Mai is actually a traditional and ideal Japanese beauty, always speaking with honorific language, known as "keigo (敬語)". However, her pride as a Shiranui shinobi and infatuation with Andy usually keeps her from fitting the mold 100% of the time.
In Last Round, her personality is still the same: she is confident and very eager to fight, with her intros involving her announcing her entrance in third person (one of her signature intros from The King Of Fighters), as well as telling her opponent to come fight her with a confident calm composure. Unlike the other fighters, she will frequently say the name of her attacks and special moves as well as throws in combat. After a match, she will sometimes confidently exclaim that she's the "best in Japan" while catching her fan or fan herself while saying she got sweaty, further showing her confidence and easygoing attitude. She doesn't hold any hard feelings towards her opponent as seen in her last win pose where she sweetly apologizes to her opponent before suggesting they "have fun".


Dead or Alive

Maria is an adult woman with dirty blonde hair, Blue eyes, Full lips colored with ruby red lipstick and a Peachy skin tone. Her outfit as seen in her picture looks to be a pink and white frilled dress with matching gloves. She wears a pearl necklace around her neck.

Not much is known to Maria's personality. She seems kind and gentle, especially to her daughter, Helena. She loved her daughter dearly and raised her with proper etiquette and manners of France (even with a Christian background). She loved her daughter so much as to bravely pushed her out of the way during an assassination attempt, sacrificing her life for Helena's.


Dead or Alive

Marie Rose is the shortest female fighter in the Dead or Alive series, standing at only 147 cm (4' 10"), with a small frame. She has fair skin, light blonde, bottom-length hair that's held up in twin-pigtails (Her hair is possibly much longer due to the fact that she seems to wrap up the base of her twin-tails) with black ribbons and dark blue eyes. She is able to wear her hair down in Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 and a few outfits in Last Round , but like Kasumi her hair is drastically shorter; it comes down to about mid-back level and is somewhat thinner. Aside from this, she also has a variant of her trademark twin-tails where they are depicted as high twin ponytails, as well as having a singular ponytail from the back and having her hair stylized in twin buns.
She appears very childlike, and looks younger than her actual age of 18. Her initial design is inspired by Gothic Lolita Fashion, displayed by her default costume which is a modified strapless maid dress, with arm sleeves. Her other alternate outfits are quite modest, with a lot of Gothic Lolita implements; platform heeled shoes, black nail polish, Gothic arm accessories, and frequent use of the colors black and white are recurring elements in her additional outfits. Her ribbons are also always black, with the choice of pointed or tied ribbons, or a black and white bonnet.
While her revealing outfits are sexualized significantly (like the other female fighters' costumes), her outfits are mostly skirts, and aside from her bloomers in her signature Gothic Lolita dress, her underwear are basically the same as the other girls. With the exception of her Hot Summer swimwear, the swimsuits she gains in Dead or Alive 5 Last Round are generally one-piece suits, including a sukumizu.
Marie Rose possesses the smallest bust out of all the female characters in the series, a direct contrast to her friend and rival Honoka who possesses the largest bust, which was even the subject of a pun in their Japanese tag team intro. In Dead or Alive 6, while she keeps a majority of her signature outfits including new recolors, she also has new ones that include a sweater dress in pink, white, and black, and she also has a lolita style outfit that has a frilled shirt and shorts with heeled lolita shoes and a matching miniature Lolita hat with a small ascot tie. She also receives more hairstyles such as her ponytail from the Venus Vacation game, and even double buns from the Fan Design costume contest with red pointed hair ties similar to her normal ones

Through Dead or Alive 6's story, Marie Rose is shown to be both devoted and loyal, seen in how she behaves towards Helena who she is a servant to, and Honoka who she befriends during the course of their time together. She is also caring and protective as she tried to prevent Hayate from seeing Helena despite him being requested by Helena himself, and she was also quick to try to fight Bayman when she was separated from Honoka in the M.I.S.T. Labs, proving that she isn't afraid to take on danger of any size if it means protecting those she's attached or loyal to.
On the other hand, Marie Rose can act very childish and doesn't seem to take losing lightly; she appears to be crying on the ground like a little girl when she loses a match, but if watched long enough, she lifts her face out of her hands before resuming her apparently fake crying. Ironically, despite her often acting childish, Xtreme Venus Vacation reveals that she hates being compared to a child, mistaken for one, or treated like one. She also has little problem with wearing some revealing outfits, although she does have her limits, as during a Cover Girl photo op, even she was ashamed at having to show a significant amount of herself to Helena when she alongside Kasumi had to do a very suggestive "prayer pose" near the god statue, and she also objected to her Davi outfit's more revealing alternate form. She also at times tends to get distracted by other activities over obligations, as evidenced by how she got herself and Kasumi late for a meeting with the Owner by choosing to get a tan.
Aside from this, Marie Rose also tends to speak in a very formal manner, owing to her background as one of Helena's servants, although it's implied she has trouble avoiding acting formally to others in situations not requiring it, such as when on vacation.
Marie Rose purports to not care too much about her lack of physical development in comparison to the other females in the series. Despite this, however, she is implied to be jealous of Honoka in particular for her large assets. She also admits that she at times wishes she had a more mature body, although only in the sense that she not be mistaken for a child by people. In addition, in the Japanese versions of Xtreme 3 , Xtreme Venus Vacation and Dead or Alive 5 Last Round , she has a tendency to refer to herself in the third person, which is significantly downplayed in the English versions.


Dead or Alive

Meg has fair skin, blue eyes and brown hair with blonde highlights cut in a textured bob with bangs. She's among the bustier girls on the island, having a bust of 95cm. Her default attire is a flower patterned pink top with cutouts at the shoulders, a white bra with brown straps and a red flower on the left strap, a necklace; a bluish-green apron with light green palm tree designs, various badges on its right pocket, and worn with the left strap off her shoulder; denim shorts with cutouts on the sides, showing panties that match the shirt; and golden brown sandals with straps that match her shirt, adorned with white flowers.

Meg is a feminine given name that usually acts as a truncation of the name Megan, a Welsh name originally a diminutive form of Margaret. Margaret is from the Greek μαργαρίτης ( margarítēs ) and Latin margarīta , meaning "pearl".
Megan was one of the most popular feminine names in the English-speaking world in the 1990s. It is also frequently spelled Meagan, Meaghan, Meghan, or Mehgan outside of Wales and the rest of the United Kingdom due to spelling influence from Irish-language names.


Dead or Alive

Mei Lin is a young girl with white skin and dark brown hair. Judging by her appearance, she is either four or five years old.

Although briefly seen, Mei Lin is shown to be very loving, happy, playful, and cares about Gen Fu and Eliot very much.


Dead or Alive

Mila is a young Spanish woman with slightly freckled pale skin and amber eyes. Her hair has been cut into a spiky crop which just reaches her shoulders. The color is a subtle mix of dark red and black; most likely dyed due to having medium dark eyebrows. Her red appears to be "pop-ish," and flashy, due to the neon color. She appears to be skinnier to the other female brawlers with smaller hips but she is quite busty like the other female fighters. She can also wear a bandage over her face as an accessory and she's seen a few times wearing it in Story Mode, most notably when Tina meets her at the diner and asks her if she got in a fight.
Mila usually wears street clothes, including a white vest, a grey long-sleeve shirt and jeans which make her look like a tomboy. She also wears a more practical outfit and modest and conservative clothes in contrast to the other female fighters, including black shorts sporting a bee logo, a red sports bra, and MMA gloves. This outfit is more reminiscent of what Tina used to wear in the first Dead or Alive , before the latter started wearing more flashy costumes to go with her wrestling persona.
In Last Round she receives a new hairstyle which involves her hair worn in a cute short style using hair pins to wear her hair down to the side.

Mila is a very strong, determined and friendly woman. She has shown to get overly-excited at the idea of training with Bass Armstrong's daughter, her idol, possibly being very starstruck. She also seems to be an open character, as she was more than comfortable to talk to Tina about the band-aid on her forehead. However, she is sometimes prone to get forgetful, as her opening scene had her returning from the shower area and discovering that she had left her camcorder on since she arrived at the gym instead of turning it off, and implied that this wasn't the first time this happened. She also shows she is not above showing signs of playful antics , such as spanking her own buttocks while giggling (one of her taunts).


Dead or Alive

Misaki has fair skin, brown eyes and hair stylized in a side ponytail with a braid going down the side, while being secured with a yellow frilly hair tie, which had been supplied to her by her elder sister Nagisa. She also wears hair clips on the left side of her hair; one symbolizing a star. She also had a slight mole on the back of her neck.
Misaki's Xtreme Venus Vacation default attire is noticeably symbolized by stars. Such as her necklace and the chibi star mascot that is located on the right side of her hoodie. This must probably tie in with one of her hobbies of which she enjoys observing the stars.
Her school attire's emblem almost resembles that of Honoka's at first glance, but it so happens that Misaki's emblem is different. Misaki's school emblem ties in with the symbol of a star, which contrast from Honoka's; that has a cherry blossom symbol in the middle.
Misaki seems to have a slightly smaller bust size compared to most of the other girls, but remains to have voluptuous hips that measure to be similar to the other females.
Misaki's outfit in Prism depicts her with an orange blouse with diamond-shaped holes near her shoulders, a black bra underneath, as well as a blue-plaid skirt.

Misaki was a shy individual, and as such was often exceedingly reluctant to pose in particularly skimpy attire for photos or expose much skin, preferring to wear a sweatshirt over her swimwear. She is also shown to be somewhat naïve, as she believed Zack's claim that the statue on the island was dedicated to its god from ancient times despite the evidence pointing against it, and in the same event was tricked by Nyotengu into thinking the statue was upset. She also failed to realize that Kanna was an Oni instead of a human, thinking her horns were merely decoration. She was also fairly friendly with the other girls. Owing to her shy nature, she occasionally stutters when speaking to people.
Owing to her role in planning out events on the island, she also frequently had to take charge and ask suggestions regarding how to plan for the upcoming festival, and can even direct other girls to introduce newcomers if necessary.
