Shroom

Shroom is an original character who first appeared in the KOF XII manhua. A female in the comic, she is based off of one of the unnamed members of Those From the Past who appeared in the İkari Team's ending in KOF XI. In KOF XIII, Shroom is revealed to be an ally to Ash Crimson. In the console opening, he is seen paired up with Rimelo in an attack on Kyo Kusanagi. Sustaining a sizable burn mark to his chest, he meets with Ash to take on the next leg of their mission. He is later seen in a library, studying about the Gate. Confirming that they are nothing more than pawns to the end, he concedes to speak with Rimelo about their future. In the ending of the Ikari history arc, the duo is seen being approached by Shion.. To be continued??

Shroom's personality is rather cold and cynical, seemingly caring only for himself and his partner, Rimelo. His manner of dress is casual chic, usually being seen in black shoes, navy blue pinstripe slacks, a cream colored turtleneck, and a black fur-lined coat. Since KOF XI, he has taken an affinity to wearing Heidern's eyepatch. His name may be derived from his mushroom-esque hairstyle.
