Description
Premise: I've started developing my personal Fighting Game Original Characters (that was soon changed in an "All female" Fighting Game after some suggestions) based on the following archetypes bluerelativity.deviantart.com/… enhanced with some pretty costructive discussions that were born when I posted the same topic on FIGHTING-GAME-FANS

Here's my female counterpart and vision of the Old Man archetype.
Background
Just like characters like Gouken and Heiachi, she's almost an "alpha version" of the main Hero aesthetically and move wise, and in the past had a path similar to the one she's actually started. Her purpose, is to teach the hero how not to make the same mistakes she did, and how to survive in the Citadel.
Story
She was a gladiator just like "Blue", and just like her she tried to escape and succeeded, just to find herself in an even worst place.
She survived many years, helped by her fighting skills and her "kunai gauntlets" (I'll find a better name soon, promise), an ancestor of the fire gauntlets used by our main protagonists.
She's the first "good" character our heroines meet, and the first one to teach them the basic rules to survive the Citadel.
Fighting Style
Rudimental mechanical devices able to shoot spiked chains to hit enemies from distance, and recall them back at will, the kunai gauntlets belong to an age where the Slave Drivers were still experimenting with the deadly tools they equipped the gladiators with to make their battles even more gruesome, and they were soon replaced by other, more perfectioned devices. So our old lady is somewhat one of a kind, being the only human being in the Citadel, to possess such weapons. This makes her the only long range character in the whole cast, with her ability to hit with her chains at distance making up for her lack of projectile attacks. With time she developed an original fighting style with her chains, involving also her feet and legs, making the first fights against her always a surprise. The basics around which her style is build still brings resemblance with the main char's style, though, being their background and their training during youth so similar.

Thanks to crazycool124 for suggesting there was a lack of long range characters in my list, hence making me struggle to develope the background for one of them
