Match of the Millennium

"I don't give a damn. I'm already on my way to hell!"

A Japanese swordswoman, Baiken's early history is shrouded in mystery to all but herself. What is known is that she hunts down Darkstalkers, Gears, and other supernatural beings while searching for That Man, a villain out of her past. Abrasive, brash, and somewhat antisocial, Baiken feels alive only on the battlefield, having long ago given up anything like a normal life to achieve her vengeance. After her death and resurrection during the Outworld tournament, Baiken has mellowed slightly; she's still hotheaded and rough, but she's slightly less likely to use violence as her first and only response and more likely to be willing to work with others - though her hatred for 'monsters' is as strong as ever. Having few skills other than violence, Baiken also engages in less deadly combat against other people to support herself and her need to travel as well as hone her skills. She is an extremely skilled swordswoman despite only having one arm and one eye, and though she disdains a proper posthetic, her empty sleeve contains a multitude of tricks and weapons to snare the unwary.
