Azucena Milagros Ortiz Castillo

Azucena grew up in the mountains of Peru, on the Ortiz Farm, where she learned the trade of coffee farming from her father. It was as a youngster growing up on the coffee plantation that she decided her dream was to be the world's best coffee farmer. Azucena experimented with cultivating different kinds of coffee plants, but her innovations were continually rejected by adults around her. Despite this, she continued her attempts, until eventually a strain of her coffee beans was awarded the highest rating at an international trade fair. As well as dedicating herself to farming practices, Azucena also cultivated her martial arts, becoming a champion MMA practitioner, and also a successful model and dancer. She attended the best university in the country, and studied business administration there. Azucena decided to use her martial arts to promote her own coffee brand, and rose to prominence in the American MMA scene, promoting her 'Azucena Blend'. Her business flourished as a result of the promotion, and the next step for her became the international circuit. The King of Iron Fist Tournament, the most popular international fighting tournament, caught her eye. She entered the King of Iron Fist Tournament 8 when it was announced and won the Latin America Block preliminary, allowing her to progress to the next round at a coliseum in Italy. She was scouted by G Corporation for a large-scale fight against Yggdrasil and the United Nations' combined forces on Yakushima. Azucena joined G Corporation on the basis that they were good for her coffee brand's optics. She fought Leo Kliesen during the battle. After she and Leo's fight, she discovered that Leo was a coffee-lover, and told them she would send some of her company's new Azucena Morning Blend to them by mail.

Azucena is a daring woman who always makes the best of a situation. She is regarded as innocent, as well as a fearless fighter. She is unafraid to experiment and attempt new ideas, and easily motivates herself, whether it be for work or to go on adventures. She enjoys practical, academic, and physical pursuits, being fond of refining coffee bean growing, fighting, dancing, and modelling in her spare time, and also holds a degree in business administration. Azucena has prevailed both as a fighter and business woman through her own determination and hard work, and with limited help from her family, despite them also being in the coffee business. Azucena appears to value brand expansion highly, even being willing to join G Corporation despite their warmongering because they are supposedly good for brand optics. Azucena Ortiz is a young woman of Peruvian descent. She has brown eyes and dark brown hair worn in an asymmetrical style with the left side braided and the right worn loose and sideswept. The braids she wears are decorated with dangling silver accessories while on the right side of her head she wears a multi-colored feather fascinator held with a silver pin.

Azucena's Player 1 outfit mainly utilizes the colors of the Peruvian flag. It consists of a red crop top with a gold crescent moon symbol on the left of the chest and white stripes down the sides, with black leather straps at the hem and a visible zipper on the front. She also wears matching red tights with a black waistband and a sun symbol on the right upper thigh and gold and green leaf patterns over the white stripes down the sides. Over her crop top she wears a short, multi-colored jacket with patterns seen commonly in Andean cultures. The sleeves of this coat stop just before her wrists and have black tassels attached down the length of them. With this outfit, Azucena wears black leather fingerless gloves which have a red hem around the wrists and finger-holes and two white straps around each wrist. She also wears dangling gold earrings with red pendants in the shape of triangles, a gold necklace with a thick chain and a rainbow-colored pendant in the shape of a crescent moon, and red, white, black, and blue laceless athletic shoes.
