This “comic” will detail the characters in the comics FIGHT and FIGHT_2. Art by Mlai, cg colors by JustNoPoint.
To round out F1's main team, we needed a woman. I wanted something ridiculous, to go with the rag-tag theme of the team; a catgirl seemed perfect for the job.
I was seriously considering Cheetara from Thundercats, because I wanted to avoid characters from Japan (yes I know Thundercats were animated in Japan). But Cheetara was too serious, and her leotard looked stupid to me. If I had remembered about that new female Thundercat character (Pumyra), I might have used her.
I finally gave up on the Thundercats and went with Felicia. Her design knocked the tail off of any other catgirl I knew of. The funny thing about her design is that she's the most un-catlike of any catgirl I've seen. Most “serious” catgirl designs try to look like cats. Felicia looks like a stripper with fake cat ears, fake strips of fur, and fake claw stockings. I wanted ridiculous, and she was perfect.
At the time, Darkstalkers was the neglected middle child of Capcom's franchises, so using her seemed okay. In hindsight, using Felicia was a good idea. She served as the catalyst for much-needed sex appeal and levity.

@ Gio: I don't know if she's a [i]real[/i] nun, but she wears the cloth (most of the time). The orphanage is hers, though. @ JNP: No Street Fighters!

As a nun she actually wears clothes though =D Then again, she's still doesn't believe in undergarments and just throws the nun suit off to fight. Maybe she can meet Blanka somewhere in Fight :P

your commentaries are always insightful. on a side note, she want to be a NUN? she REALLY doesn't fit the bill.
