Xiao Lon

Xiao Lon (Chinese: ; Japanese: ) is a character in The King of Fighters series. She was introduced in KOF Maximum Impact Regulation "A" as the half-sister of Duo Lon.

She is voiced by Makiko Matsumoto.

Development
Her appearance in the expansion has been noted as the developers' way of loosely linking the Maximum Impact series with its 2D predecessor.

Falcoon explains that she is a substitute for her brother, Duo Lon. The concept began in The King of Fighters XI, where Ash says "it's been awhile" to Duo Lon, implying that he hasn't seen him since 2003. Since they were developing this game at the same time as KOF XI, he thought that it wouldn't be right to place Duo Lon in -since it would ruin story consistency- and focused on creating a new character, eventually leading to Xiao Lon. She is visually based on the Chinese ghost, Jiang Shi and a scorpion; her Another design is based on the aconite flower. She was originally conceived to be an "aristocratic character" though Falcoon believes that she strayed away from the image.

Personality
Despite being a Hizoku assassin, Xiao Lon is usually a normal and curious girl. Prone to crying and mercy, she is disliked by most of the Hizoku clan and her powers alienate her from being truly accepted into society. She reverts to being an assassin once she leaves her home but seems to find displeasure in her profession. Xiao Lon usually calls Duo Lon "the third crowned prince" due to respect of her poorer status. She now has mixed feelings about him due to her simultaneous admiration for Ron, even though she knows that her father has never praised her.
