Vice

Vice (バイス, Baisu) is a character who debuted as a member of the Iori Team in The King of Fighters '96. Both she and Mature are descendants of Orochi with her being the "cruel" one of the duo. Both women were still being developed during location testing and were likely finished near the end of the game's production schedule.

She is voiced by Masae Yumi and portrayed by Bernice Liu in the movie.

Story
One of the Hakkesshu, Vice joins forces with Mature to serve her master, Orochi. She often takes orders from Leopold Goenitz, although she doesn't like him. She and Mature were ordered to keep an eye on Rugal Bernstein, who was trying to use Orochi's power. They posed as his secretaries. Rugal, who kidnapped Saisyu Kusanagi, ordered Vice to brainwash him. It was difficult for her, but she succeeded.

When Rugal died, Goenitz ordered Vice and Mature to keep an eye on Iori Yagami and bring him to the 1996 tournament. They didn't win the tournament, but when Kyo Kusanagi and Iori defeated Goenitz, Iori entered the Riot of the Blood and killed both her and Mature. Although dead, they can take the form of solid shadows in the living realm. Claiming to not hold a grudge against him, they agree to entertain themselves as his teammates. The women want to prevent Orochi's power from being stolen by Ash or Those from the Past.

Personality
She is a violent person, taking great pleasure in killing others and seemingly immune to their pain. For instance, her grudge against Saisyu began due to his stubbornness to submit to her during his brainwashing. Additionally, it should be noted that she and Mature are not precisely friends, but instead help each other in order to free the power of Orochi.

Powers

 * Multiple Attacks - Vice can kick several times in high speed.
 * Cutting Attacks - Vice can make her kicks be enveloped in a cutting aura. She combines this and the Multiple Attacks power.
 * Snake Arms - Vice can stretch her arms in front of her within a long range and with high speed.

Fighting Style
She is one of the first female grapplers for the series, using a variety of throws to corner and interrupt her opponent's advances. During fights, Vice will often harshly berate her opponent, either by sarcastically remarking the damage she will be doing or by commanding her foe to submit.
