Zafina

Zafina

Mystic Stargazer

Zafina's fighting style, only referred to as "Ancient Assassination Arts", has unique fighting stances and abnormal moves that director Katsuhiro Harada likened to that of a "spider". Her style requires large levels of flexibility and even contortionism. Her Scarecrow stance is similar to a common Indian dance pose which has led some fans to erroneously believe that her style is based on Indian Kalaripayat, but the moves depicted in the game actually bear no resemblance to any existing martial art.

Zafina was born somewhere in the Middle East to a group of spiritual warriors with an ancient past and, as such, she possesses great spiritual abilities of her own. From childhood, Zafina was raised to be a protector of an imperial tomb. Several years ago, a foreign army attacked the imperial tomb. Zafina single-handedly wiped them out. Following that incident, the group’s guru appointed her to be the tomb's sole protector. In her public life, Zafina used her spiritual powers as an astrologist. During this line of work, she began to only see evil omens. Her premonitions grew more and more intense by the day. Seeking to understand the meaning behind all of this, Zafina sought the advice of her guru, and he began to tell her of an ancient prophecy passed down from generation to generation only to a select few. According to the prophecy, when two evil stars came into contact, the seal of the tomb would be broken and the one held captive would be released, inevitably bringing about the destruction of the world. Zafina considered both the meaning behind the guru's tale and her own dire premonitions. Zafina went to the temple alone to investigate. She opened the gate was shocked to find Azazel awakened inside the temple.[11] At some point, Zafina consulted with Wang Jinrei about the prophecy and became aware of Lars Alexandersson, a Tekken Force deserter opposing the Mishima Zaibatsu and G Corporation. Zafina believed Lars may be able to prevent the looming catastrophe.[12] Zafina also met Jin Kazama and Nina Williams when they visited the exterior of Azazel's temple. She was unsettled when Jin spoke as if he had knowledge of Azazel.[13] Additionally, Zafina provided Raven with intel regarding the situation with Azazel.

Zafina is depicted as a wise seer, who prefers to think through problems before acting. She sees long term consequences and not just immediate situations. She is in possession of great spiritual knowledge and knows the histories of demons and sigils, being one of the few people to have knowledge of the demon Azazel and how it was entrapped in ancient times. Zafina is a determined woman who strives for success in order to avoid chaos. Whilst she seems most comfortable amongst her own people, the moment she heard of an evil prophecy, she left to travel to those she needed to tell, in an attempt to ward off evil before it could occur. She is quite calm and focused, not letting her emotions get the best of her while on a mission. As of Tekken 7 she has sealed a part of Azazel's power into her arm. This power is growing more out of control,[16] however, and it is unknown what effect this may have on her personality and free will.

The left sleeve of the bodysuit is short with gold charms attached to the end, and the right is long, reaching her wrist at the back and opening into a v-shape on the underside. This opening is held together with a gold wrist brace.

Zafina is a warrior born into a family of exorcists whose lineage dates back to the time of ancient dynasties. In her day-to-day life, however, she uses her exceptional spiritual abilities to earn a living as an astrologist.

Only a few months ago, the earth-shattering clash between the two evil stars, Jin Kazama and Kazuya Mishima, led to the resurrection of the original devil Azazel, an evil whom Zafina's family had kept sealed away for generations.

Jin is able to defeat Azazel by the skin of his teeth, but Azazel's spirit is indestructible and survives. Now, it is only a matter of time before Azazel is resurrected once again.

In order to delay Azazel's return for as long as possible, Zafina seals away Azazel's spirit in her left arm using her family's secret arts. However, Azazel's power is far beyond what even she could have foreseen, and the devil begins to wrest control of Zafina's body and soul away from her again and again.

An exhausted Zafina arrives at Sirius Sanctuary, the headquarters of the Sirius Marksmen, in a last-ditch effort just before losing consciousness.

When she awakens, she finds herself surrounded by Ling Xiaoyu, who is devotedly attending to her recovery, and Claudio Serafino, who is applying a holy seal to her left arm.

Deeming them worthy of her trust, Zafina confesses all to them. In return, the two promise to spare no effort in aiding her whenever she needs it.

Shortly after, while under the protection of the Sirius Marksmen, Zafina struggles to find a way to change their doomed fate. From the countless futures she's seen, though, there seems to be only one way out.

However, that path would come at a great cost...
