Zafina

"Leave now if you value your life!"

Character Introduction

Zafina is a new character in Tekken 6. In the trailer of Tekken 6 which is "Power Is Everything", she is shown duelling with Jack 6 and Asuka Kazama. According to the story mode, she is the defender of a royal family grave. One day, a group of heavily defended men came to attack the grave. Zafina, in a young age, took them out single-handedly with her daggers, and was appointed to be the clan's sole assasin. 

Personality and Characteristics

Her looks seems to be as of a Arabic woman in her late 20's, although in her bio-profile, it said that she was 
Indian. She is shown wearing Arabic jewelries and ornaments, as well as her clothes. It is also said that she has a cold personality, as her pre-fight quotes include "Death becomes you", but sometimes, her personality seem to be a little caring as she has a pre-fight quote which says "Leave now if you value your life!"

Gameplay

Zafina, as stated by one of the game's developers, has moves as of a tarantula. It is official that she has 3 stances, namely the "Tarantula" stance, the "Praying Mantis" stance and her "Scarecrow stance"

The Scarecrow Stance (Right Kick + Left Kick)

The Praying Mantis Stance(Down+Left&Right                                                                                                                                                        Kick)

The Tarantula Stance(Down+Left&Right Punch)

At first, a newbie player may conclude that Zafina is very hard to use. I suggest that the player must put her first into practice and memorize how to change her stances. After learning her transitions of stances, learn moves for different stances. After that, practice defense, and then go to Ghost Mode, and try to evade attacks. If you succesfully train yourself to use Zafina, she will almost be invulnerable to attacks as she is a combo spammer as most Zafina players call her. Too many players also complain that she is too "flashy" or sometimes "exotic" but, the real problem is that they don't know how to use her well.  However, Zafina has  a bug wherein when she is in her Mantis Stance, sometimes, she turns her back on the enemy and in order to face again to your enemy, you need to punch mid-air to regain your normal face-to-enemy stance.

Pro's:

• Zafina having many stances, can easily dodge her enemies' attacks and counter some.
• She has many moves that can easily make the enemy fall down
• All her moves are very strong
• If her moves are used wisely, the enemy will not be able to attack, causing the win to be perfect

Con's

• Her moves are very, very slow
• She can be too random sometimes, causing her to lose concentration on the enemy

Story

Prologue (In-Game Text)

Zafina was born into a family of evil vanquishers with a bloodline dating back to ancient times. With exceptional spiritual powers exhibited from a young age, she was raised as a warrior assigned to protect the royal family's grave. When that grave was attacked by a heavily-armed group from another country, Zafina dispelled the perpetrators single-handedly. In response to her successful defense, the family elder appointed her as the clan's sole assassin.
In her public life, Zafina used her spiritual powers as an astrologist. Evil omens started appearing in all of the fortunes she divined, and her uneasiness mounted, leading her to the elder for guidance. The elder revealed to her an ancient lore passed on to only a select few. According to legend, when two ominous stars come into contact, the magic seal that the family had protected for centuries would be broken and the world would end.
Upon hearing this revelation, Zafina set off to a land in the Far East, where the evil stars were expected to meet. It is her goal to stop them before the cataclysmic events can be set into motion.

Ending (Unofficial Synopsis)After Zafina defeated Azazel, she emerges from the temple and encounters an old man, who is presumbly her guru. Neither say anything, as they both just nod their heads and go their own ways. The old man leaves the area, and Zafina returns to the temple, with the gates closing behind her. Afterwards, the whole site of the temple collapses. It is unknown of what happened to Zafina.Scenario Campaign (Unofficial Synopsis)Unlike the majority of the Tekken 6 characters, Zafina is not a boss in the Scenario Campaign mode. Instead, she allies with Lars Alexandersson (or another character of the player's choosing) and Raven to fight off an army of Tekken Force soldiers. After this, she gives them the location of the temple ruins that house Azazel.
