King is a skilled Muay
Thai fighter who became famous after defeating a famous Muay Thai champion. For
several years, King portrayed herself as a man... first because she wanted to
hide her identity to avoid the dangers of Southtown, and also because she
thought people would take her more seriously as a fighter. Five years before the
events of Art of Fighting, King suffered a humiliating defeat by Jack Turner and his biker
gang. After the event, she was forced to work for Mr.
Big as a bouncer. When Ryo
Sakazaki defeated her, her identity was exposed and she agreed to help him
find his missing sister, Yuri.
After Mr. Big was defeated by Ryo, King was freed of her obligations to him.
During Art of
Fighting 2, she continued her passion for street fighting until her younger
brother, Jan, needed an operation to regain the use of his legs. She entered the
King of Fighters tournament hoping to win the prize money to pay for the
operation. At the end of the
tournament, she was surprised to see Jan walking on his own two feet. It was
revealed that Ryo and Robert paid for the operation in gratitude for her help
with finding Yuri. She remained good friends with Ryo for many years after, even
all the way up to the Buriki One timeline.
In the King of Fighters series, King was a consistent member of the
Womens Team, her original teammates being Mai Shiranui
and Yuri. Sometime during KOF, she opened up her own bar in England called the
Illusion, and hired two waitresses named Sally and Elizabeth. She later opened
up a bar in Southtown. In King of Fighters 2000, Yuri begged her to be
her replacement and King accepted. Robert
Garcia
doubted her credibility and challenged her to a kicking contest. After the
contest came to a draw, Robert accepted her. During The King of Fighters XI
it was revealed that King possibly has deeper feelings for Ryo than "just
friends."
