- "A guardian of justice cloaked in mystery! Anyone caught in her gaze is done for! NAJD."
Najd (ナジュド; Abjad: نجد) is a character in The King of Fighters series. She was introduced in The King of Fighters XIV and is the winner of a character design contest promoted between SNK and Saudi Arabian company Manga Productions. Her official nickname is "Vigilante Vixen" (
She is designed by Saudi Arabian artist, Mashael Al-Barrak.
Appearance[]
Najd is a relatively tall and slender woman with spiky white hair and golden-brown eyes. She wears a billowing purple robe with white and silver accents, a red headscarf that resembles a hijab, a brown belt, and black boots.
Personality[]
Being a small-town girl, Najd's knowledge of the outside world is scarce and has piqued her curiosity. This is what would lead to her participation in KOF, wanting to put her skills to the test.
She is quiet and tends to keep to herself but harbors a deep sense of justice. However, unlike Kim Kaphwan, another fighter with a deep sense of justice, Najd's sense of justice is completely different. Specifically, Najd's quotes indicate she favors retribution and punishment over redemption and repenting for one's sins; something that Kim overzealously preaches and something Najd calls him out on by saying that she "sees something twisted" in his beliefs. But just like Kim, Najd can sense what someone truly is and whether they have any dark feelings inside them.
Najd is also a big fan of shonen manga, especially with ninjas; she was very excited to meet Bandeiras Hattori, who she claimed was a "real ninja". Amusingly, she couldn't believe that Mai Shiranui is a ninja due to her provocative outfit.
