Being able to defeat groups of armed soldiers singlehandedly, she quickly rose in her clan's ranks, and was given untold secrets regarding who they were imprisoning. With her mysterious nature complimenting her strange fighting style, not much is given about Zafina's backstory, however, it is known that even as a child, Zafina's skills were unmatched. However, some of her customization items suggest an Arabic background (such as the Arabian Bottom and Arabian Hair items), and many of her attack names have Middle Eastern roots, such as names of ancient Sumerian, Babylonian, and other Mesopotamian gods (Enlil, Inanna, Namtar, Tiamat), and indeed Katsuhiro Harada, executive producer of Tekken, has said that she is "a female character from the Middle East who uses ancient assassination arts". When fans brought Zafina's origins into question once again, Harada's response was "Probably Egypt". However, the original Japanese bio states it as being simply Unknown, as does her NA bio, having since been corrected. Other than this, very little is known about her personality.Īccording to Zafina's EU bio, her nationality is Indian. She also appears to be threatening her opponent at times, due to her pre-fight and post-fight quotes. She dispelled the perpetrators single-handedly and in response, the family elder appoints her as the clan's sole assassin. She is the defender of a royal family grave that was attacked by a heavily armed group from another country.

She was first shown in the official trailer for Tekken 6, where she was shown fighting Asuka Kazama and Jack-6. Zafina (ザフィーナ Zafīna) was introduced in Tekken 6, and has returned for all subsequent titles.
