Whip

Whip (ウィップ, Wippu), whose real name is Seirah (セーラ, Sēra), is a character who first appeared in The King of Fighters '99 as the new member to the Ikari team. Her affinity for whips earned her the nickname, Muchiko (ムチ子, Muchiko) -which roughly translates to "Whip Girl"- by Ralf Jones. Whip also appears playable in the hand-held game, SNK Gals' Fighters. She was planned to enter the series in The King of Fighters '96 but was pushed back to The King of Fighters '99 due to Leona's introduction.

She is voiced by Shiho Kikuchi.

Story
She is a cybernetic clone of K's sister and once worked for NESTS as an assassin. She befriended Krizalid, under the assumption that he was her brother, before she escaped and joined the military. She is eventually assigned to Heidern's mercenary unit for the King of Fighters tournament to investigate NESTS. While her team isn't present, she privately interrogates NESTS agents to find information regarding herself and the whereabouts of her brother. Once she realizes who he is, she reveals their relation to one another and joins him in his objective to destroy the NESTS cartel. After NESTS' downfall, she returns to her duties under Heidern's command.

Personality
She is an enigmatic and quiet individual who acts towards her own goals. She treats both K' and Kula Diamond as a little brother and sister.

Powers

 * Snake Arms - Whip can stretch her arm in high speed. This power is less effective than the one used by Ryuji Yamazaki, Vice and Mature. When she debuted, she had a move where she would fire a gun to a downed opponent. This move was replaced with this power.

Fighting Style
Her fighting style is based on Soubenjutsu, the Japanese martial art of the use of the whip. Her whip, probably designed by NESTS, can transform into a blade. She also draws a desert eagle and fire it at the opponent.
