Xiao Lon

Xiao Lon (笑龍, シャオロン, Xiaolon) is a character who was introduced in KOF Maximum Impact Regulation A. 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 KOFXI, 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.

She is voiced by Makiko Matsumoto.

Story
Left behind by her father, she was very dependent on her brother during her childhood. She was usually left at home, as Duo Lon and the others didn't want her to know about their mission to kill Ron. However, once she learns the truth, Xiao Lon runs away to stop them from killing one another.

Personality
Despite being a Hizoku assassin, Xiao Lon is usually a normal and curious girl. Her Hizoku powers, however, 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. She used to refer to Duo Lon as "brother" and sometimes calls him "the third crowned prince". She now has mixed feelings about him due to her love for Ron.
