Malin

Malin (まりん, Marin) is a character who debuts in The King of Fighters 2003 as a member of the High School Girls Team (alongside Athena Asamiya and Hinako Shijou). Her addition to the series was made due to Choi Bounge's absence in the game of her debut. The game producers state that her name should be spelled as Malin and not Marin, adding that "this is the humble preference of the supervising designer and a mystery to us all". She becomes a member of the Anti-Kyokugenryu Team in The King of Fighters XI due to her animosity towards one of the style's practitioners, Yuri Sakazaki.

In the next tournament, Malin joined Kasumi Todoh and Eiji Kisaragi to form the Anti-Kyokugenryu Team, since she wants to get revenge on Yuri Sakazaki for saying her fighting style is not honorable.
