Zafina

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. 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. 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. Additionally, Zafina provided Raven with intel regarding the situation with Azazel. Azazel was supposedly destroyed by Lars Alexandersson and Jin Kazama. In the aftermath, Zafina discovered that the creature had survived in a spirit form, and used an ancient ritual to seal the demon in her own body.

Realizing that Azazel risked overpowering her, Zafina sought to destroy Kazuya and Jin, the devil-wielding evil stars from the prophecy, before Azazel's power became too strong for her to contain. To this end, she sought out the Archers of Sirius, an ancient order of exorcists. As soon as she arrived, Zafina lost consciousness in front of the base, where Claudio Serafino and Ling Xiaoyu found and immediately treated her. Zafina awakened to find Xiaoyu tending to her while Claudio strengthened the seal on her arm to suppress Azazel's possession. She revealed her intentions to them, and the two promised to aid her however they could. Now that the two share the same goal, Zafina reveals to Claudio that Jin Kazama has lost the ability to utilize his Devil Gene, allowing free reign for Kazuya Mishima to subjugate the world. The two, along with Ling Xiaoyu and Panda, head to the coliseum where Kazuya is hosting The King of Iron Fist Tournament Eight, as Zafina foresees that a "large wave" will strike the coliseum. The four enter just as Yggdrasil and United Nations forces are evacuating the area. Kazuya seems to have predicted this, however, as he siphons Azazel's power from within Zafina's arm, using it to strengthen his own Devil abilities. Weakened after Kazuya's assault, Zafina tells Jin to return to "where it all began" in order to hone his abilities once more, relaying once more that Jin is the only hope for saving the world.

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, however, and it is unknown what effect this may have on her personality and free will.

Zafina is a woman of Middle-Eastern descent. She has black hair that is usually set in a bun, ponytail, or a braid on the left side. Her outfits are mostly Arabian or Middle Eastern-themed, having costumes that can range from professional and conservative to revealing. Starting from Tekken 7 and continuing into Tekken 8, Zafina wears her left arm wrapped in bandages in order to cover the visible signs of Azazel being harbored within her. In Tekken 7, she wears her long hair down, but with the sides pulled back to keep her hair bound behind her. In Tekken 8, she has bright purple highlights on each side at the edges.

Zafina's outfit is a dark indigo leather bodysuit which covers her from her neck to her ankles. She wears a black corset with gold designs around it tied with indigo ribbon matching the bodysuit. The torso of her bodysuit has silver metal ornamentation along the front and chest, and has a deep mesh V-neck with matching mesh under each of the arms that circles around to cover Zafina's upper back. 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 also wears an indigo hood over her head with white Zodiac symbols embroidered along the edge, and she wears an ornate golden necklace over this hood which spans the length of her shoulders. At her waist, Zafina wears a maroon sash with brown leather belts and gold chain belts tied with gold circlets. The legs of her bodysuit have mesh openings just as the torso does, with purple leather designs within the mesh. With this outfit, she wears matching indigo heels with lighter purple ribbons around the vamps, gold ornamentation around the heel, and a diamond shaped fastener on the outer side. This outfit is accessorized with gold, spider-shaped earrings, a gold chain circlet around her head with a diamond-shaped charm, a gold necklace attached to the bodysuit's neck with a circular gold charm that has three pink gems embedded in the top, two gold rings each around her right index and ring finger and a gold, clawed, full-finger ring around her right pinky finger. She also wears a large gold anklet around her right ankle and a matching gold band looped around her left thigh.
