Ling Xiaoyu

Introduction
Ling Xiaoyu was introduced in Tekken 3 and has returned in every subsequent release.

Ling Xiaoyu, born and raised in China, is a student at Mishima High School in Japan. Ling Xiaoyu is also a schoolmate of Jin Kazama and Miharu Hirano. In Tekken 4, Xiaoyu wished to be reunited with Jin.

Xiaoyu's fighting style was brought on with some influence from her distant relative, Wang Jinrei. Mastering her fighting style in real life would require a constant flexibility (Ex. Art of the Phoenix, Phoenix Talon, Mistrust, Flapping Wings, Front/Back Layout) and maneuvering.

Story
 * Prologue (In-Game Text)
 * Xiaoyu was a junior at Mishima High School. But lacking any particular goals, Xiaoyu grew tired of her everyday routine. One day, she received an anonymous e-mail warning her of Heihachi’s evil intentions, and the dangers she faced. Though Xiaoyu replied to the e-mail in hopes of an answer, she didn't receive any further messages. Xiaoyu’s intuition told her that Jin, who had been missing since the last Tournament, could be the sender.
 * She believed in the message and began to distrust Heihachi and the Mishima Zaibatsu. Upon hearing the announcement of the next Tournament, Xiaoyu decided to enter in hopes of being reunited with Jin, and to unveil the truth behind Heihachi and the Mishima Zaibatsu.
 * Epilogue (In-Game Text)
 * Xiaoyu defeated Heihachi. No one foresaw this outcome. Soon thereafter, Xiaoyu learned of Heihachi's many evil deeds. He was clearly guilty of supporting the raid on G Corporation. The evil nature of the Mishima Zaibatsu was finally revealed. Six months later...
 * Ending (Unofficial Synopsis)
 * Ling Xiaoyu won the tournament and took over the Mishima Zaibatsu. Miharu Hirano visits Xiaoyu in her new office, and lightly scolds her for looking like she does nothing. Xiaoyu casually asks her friend how she did in her college entrance exams, and Miharu confesses that she has flunked all of it. Wanting to help her friend, Xiaoyu offers her a job, stating that from now on, she is going to make her own dreams come true.
 * She tells Miharu that she saw Jin Kazama after the tournament. He told her that if she has a dream that she wants to come true, she should make it happen herself. Miharu lightly teases her, and recognizes the change in Xiaoyu, who used to depend on everybody else. Miharu agrees on working together, and asks her friend what her dream is.
 * Xiaoyu points outside, to her very own amusement park, which she wants Miharu and her to build together.

Trivia
 * After beating story mode with Xiaoyu, her alternate costume becomes available by pressing triangle.

Story
 * Prologue (In-Game Text)
 * Ling Xiaoyu, out to save the Mishima Zaibatsu. She learned the Zaibatsu's troubled history after Yoshimitsu rescued her. Xiaoyu felt it all began when Heihachi threw Kazuya into a ravine. She cried when she heard of the Heihachi's death. "If only I could turn back time..." says Xiaoyu.
 * Around then, a scientist told her he could create a time machine...for a price. She opens her invitation to The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5. With the prize money, she could make everything right.
 * Interludes (Unofficial Synopsis)
 * Stage 4 Jin Kazama: Xiaoyu finds Jin and he warns her that the tournament is dangerous and that time cannot be reversed. Xiaoyu refuses and defeats Jin with the promise to reverse time.
 * Final Stage Jinpachi Mishima: Xiaoyu faces Jinpachi while going over the prize money and time machine. After she wins, Jinpachi thanks her, and Xiaoyu is confused about who should she get the prize money from.
 * Ending (Unofficial Synopsis)
 * After winning the tournament, Ling Xiaoyu is the first to use her time machine. She travels back to the time when Heihachi was about to throw Kazuya Mishima off of a cliff, intending to avert this event that will rip the family apart. Unfortunately, Xiaoyu had lost control of the time machine and it barreled into Heihachi and Kazuya, sending Kazuya falling off of the cliff, while Heihachi is nearly sent over himself. Xiaoyu is miserable because of her failure, and the old scientist comes to her, laughing, and tells her that nobody can really change the past, “The best you can hope for are minor improvements.”.

Xiaoyu shook her head and ran up to Jin, embracing him, vowing that she would stand by him. Apparently moved by this, he thanks her...
 * In the end, however, it was revealed to be only a dream, as Xiaoyu was then seen sleeping onPanda, unaware that the latter was uncomfortable, and that she was still in the throes of her dream. She embraces Panda very tightly, causing her to toss Xiaoyu off the side of the bed. Waking up, Xiaoyu was still confused to where she was.
