Ninon Beart

Ninon Beart (ニノン・ベアール, Ninon Beāru) is a fictional character from the SNK Playmore's fighting game series KOF: Maximum Impact, part of The King of Fighters series. She is the younger sister of Mignon Beart and appears as an unlockable playable character in KOF: Maximum Impact 2. Ninon also appears in the dating simulation game, Days of Memories~Pure White Angels.

Similar to Nagase, her design was pulled from Falcoon's storage of illustrations that were unused from previous works. She was created to flesh out Mignon's backstory, as she serves as a rival as well as a second account to Mignon's magical progress. Her first in-game model put a heavy strain on their computers' rendering compacity, and thus required several retakes.

She is voiced by Jun Koutsuka and Jessica Wachsman.

Story
Ninon is Mignon Beart's sister and has a mortal hatred for her. She is much more powerful than Mignon and wanted to enter both of the Maximum Impact tournaments, but Mignon got invited. She decided to watch Mignon in the second tournament, even chalenging some fighters. Mignon got far in the tournament, but eventually lost. That's when Ninon appeared and said that she wished Mignon was killed in the tournament and then disappeared.

Personality
She is, in terms of personality, the exact opposite from her sister as she is a cool and mature nihilist. She dresses in Gothic Lolita clothing, greatly contradicting the cheerful idol-style clothing her sister wears. She is also more adept at magic than her sister, a trait that she often refers to hauntingly in a show of superiority. To Ninon's chagrin, it is Mignon who once again receives an invitation to the KOF tournament. When speaking normally, Ninon usually ends her sentences with "shi", which literally translates to "death" in Japanese.
