Whip's past is as shrouded in mystery as the young woman herself. As far as
she can remember, she has always worked for the Nests cartel as an assassin, expert
in the use of firearms, and of course, her weapon of choice ever since she began
her life of fighting: her whip, Uddodou. Whip never learned to do anything else,
and it becomes troublesome for her. However, during her stance in the cartel, she
meets a troubled young man, who at the same time, seems to act nicely around Whip:
he called himself only Krizalid.
Whip is confessed that Krizalid is the most advanced Kyo Kusanagi clone to
date, and that he is destined to make the Nests cartel the reigning order of the
world. However, Whip just can't imagine Krizalid as a world destroyer. They passed
a lot of time together, up until the point that Krizalid considered her to be just
like a sister. Whip knows the truth, but refuses to shatter the precious dream of
Krizalid. Soon enough, Krizalid is doned with his battle suit, and he begins to
change for the worst.
Soon enough, Krizalid becomes obssessed in dominating the world, and pays
little to no attention to Whip's warnings. Seeing how his dear friend had become
mad of power, Whip realizes she has nothing to do in the Nests cartel anymore. She
leaves one night, and wanders around for awhile, before she hears about a mercenary
agency named Ikari Warriors. Whip goes to the main Ikari base, and reports to
commander Heidern. She would like to recruit herself in the Ikari Warriors. After
seeing a display of her skills, Heidern deems her worthy of such honor, and soon
enough, Whip raises her rank up to where few had reached before....
Whip is introduced to the main members of the Ikari Warriors: lieutenant
Ralf, field leader. Clark, most important man. And Leona, another rookie in the
Ikari lines. Whip and Leona soon find a lot in common. Both having personal
conflicts that they don't want to share with anyone but themselves. They also were
haunted by ghosts of the past. But in order to resolve their problems, they should
first try to depend on others. Whip gets to go along with the unit quite well, as
Heidern assigns Whip her first important mission: investigate the evil host of the
next King of Fighters tournament. Somehow, Whip knew what was coming for them.
The familiar settings brings back some memories to Whip. She can't believe
how much her friend has changed, and much less trying to activate the Kyo clones
worldwide. Whip slowly guides her companions to the underground base, hoping
Krizalid would reconsider sooner or later. As they near the base, Whip contacts
Heidern, and summons the extermination squad. However, as soon as she does so, the
whole base begins to crumble down. Whip urges her partners to flee as soon as
possible. Leona vida for Whip to come with them. But Whip's mind is decided: she
would face her past no matter what!
Whip slowly enters the main facility. Among the havoc, Whip sees a body
underneath a rock in agony. It was Krizalid, severly battered up. Krizalid calls
out for his sister, but Whip demands him to stop calling her that. All his past
memories were just infused to him by the Nests cartel, and that he was nothing more
than an advanced clone of K', the ultimate Kyo clone. Krizalid curses his destiny,
as Whip bids him farewell for the last time. "Thanks for the good memories", Whip
silently whispers as she exits the base.
Outside, Whip is awaited by her commander and by her friends. Heidern demands
an explanation. Whip simply salutes, and says she had to say goodbye to an old
friend. Having said that, tears freely flow out of Whip's eyes. She knows Krizalid
would be happier whereever he would be....
Whip is quite enigmatic and silent for a young woman of her age, but is
comprehensible once you realize that she didn't pass too much with the rest of
society. Despite being surrounded by violence and death, Whip secretly desires true
happiness one day. It hurts her to see what Krizalid had turned into, for she knows
that Krizalid is not truly evil. She finds new hopes in her friends Ralf, Clark,
and Leona. A family, that Whip never enjoyed of, and one that she hopes Krizalid
may find one day.
*Fun fact = The fact that we thought that Whip's original name was to be that of
"Uippu" (which, once you see it right, is just "Whip" spelled in Japanese).
