Malin/Story

The King of Fighters 2003
Malin is an enigmatic girl from an unknown organization that specializes in gathering intelligence. Prior to the 2003 tournament, Athena Asamiya meets Hinako in Kyoto. she tells Hinako that she isn't joining this year's KOF tournament with Sie Kensou or Chin Gentsai, and want to team up with other people this year. While deciding who will be their final member, Malin appeared before them to join their team. Although Athena and Hinako refuse to team with someone they hardly met, she proves her worth by expertly steals the ribbons from their hair and leaves a calling card around Hinako's ribbon. Seeing her skills, the three become the "High School Girls Team". In their Team ending, Hinako and Malin perform a mini show before Athena's big concert, due to Athena running late.

The King of Fighters XI
Some time prior to the eleventh tournament, Yuri Sakazaki, one of the Kyokugenryu Karate practitioners, called Malin's fighting style "cowardly". Those words struck a cord with her, and plans the downfall of all Kyokugenryu Karate practitioners. One day, in a cafe, she meets Eiji Kisaragi and Kasumi Todoh; two fighters who also share the same rage against Kyokugenryu Karate. Thanks to her expertise in espionage, she discovered that Takuma Sakazaki was in the hospital, and was currently unable to train his students for the upcoming KOF tournament. Seeing their chance to defeat the Kyokugenryu students at their low point, they formed the "Anti-Kyokugenryu Team" in order to beat them. In their team's ending, Malin, Eiji, and Kasumi has arranged for a fight against the Kyokugenryu practitioners during Ryo Sakazaki and King's date, only for them to accidentally get caught in the wrath of an enraged King (due to Yuri, Takuma, and Robert Garcia's shenanigans' to get the two together as a couple).
