Orochi Leona

Wild Leona, known as "Orochi Leona" or "Awakened Orochi Blood from the Darkness Leona" in Japan (ヤミノナカオロチノチニメザメルレオナ, Yami no naka Orochi no Chi ni Mezameru Leona), is the name attributed to Leona Heidern when the Riot of the Blood is activated within her. She first appeared in The King of Fighters '97.

Story
When Goenitz came to ask Guidel for help to ressurect Orochi, Leona was there. Goenitz activated the Riot of the Blood within her and she murdered her family and the entire village. Years later, in 1997, near the finals of the '97 tournament, the Riot of the Blood once again was triggered and Leona went berserk, attacking her team mates, Ralf and Clark, but she was eventually defeated. In 2003, the Orochi seal was damaged once again and she entered the Riot of the Blood once again, badly injuring Ralf and Clark.

During this state, Leona goes berserk and will attack anyone she sees. She also tends to vomit blood prior to entering the Riot of Blood.
