The pendant was coveted by Heihachi. When the Mishima Zaibatsu forces had left, Michelle's father gave Michelle the pendant before killing himself. Michelle entered the King of Iron Fist Tournament to seek vengeance on Heihachi for the murder of her father and tribe.

Although she did not win the tournament, Michelle was still satisfied that another fighter (Kazuya Mishima) defeated Heihachi.
