BIO:

A cold-blooded assassin, Nina acquired her unusual combination of skills from her parents. Her father, once an assassin for the IRA, left Ireland to escape his past. His marriage to a British Aikido champion created a bloodline that would spawn a child with incredible talent and a killer instinct. Nina was kidnapped by an underground force and drugged into believing that the Tekken sponsor must be assassinated. In Tekken 2, her mission was to assassinate Kazuya Mishima, but her personal agenda is to finally settle the long battle with her sister, Anna.

Due to an untimely quarrel with her sister, Anna, she was unable to assassinate Kazuya in the second tournament. After The King of Iron Fist Tournament 2, the Mishima Zaibatsu used Nina and her younger sister, Anna Williams, as an experimental test subject for cryogenics research.  Fifteen years later, Heihachi Mishima's private corps, the Tekken Force, went to the burial site and excavated Ogre. This unearthing unleashed its spirit, which awakened Nina's resting soul. Now controlled by Ogre, Nina acts robotically, with the command to assassinate Jin Kazama. She fought through the Tournament while suffering from cryosleep-induced amnesia, but was not able to assassinate Jin Kazama.

Since then, Nina disappeared from the reaches of the Mishima Zaibatsu and spent her days carrying out missions as a contract assassin. She has been unable to regain memories of Anna or her personal life. As a woman without memories or close relations, the only person Nina could count on was herself.  Carrying out her hits for profit was the only reality she could rely on. One day, Nina received a new contract from a Mafia organization. The target of the contract was Steve Fox, a boxing world champion. With a little research, Nina discovered that Fox was a participant in The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4.  Nina set her sights on completing her new mission and infiltrated the Tournament.

At the King of the Iron Fist Tournament 5, Nina Williams finally settled the score by defeating Anna. Shortly after her mission was complete, Jin Kazama recruited Nina to be his bodyguard and assist his Tekken Force in taking over the world. With strong tension between the Mishima Zaibatsu and G Corporation, the King of the Iron Fist Tournament 6 was announced. In order to remove any threats to the life of Jin Kazama, Nina enters the tournament.

Tekken's original ass-kicking assassin chick debuted with some pretty unique moves & more notably, throws. From sequel to sequel, Nina's bone-breaking "throw combos" became longer and more brutal. Aside from her iconic grapples, she's also acquired some cool maneuvers & kicks over the years. Overall, her fighting style is still somewhat "stiff" when compared to many other styles featured in Tekken. However, it is possible for a high level player to make Nina look not so stiff, but even so, some of her animations just aren't as fluid as others. IMO, she's also one of the "softest-hitting" Tekken characters out there (overlooking her various bone-breaking holds). I like how her original moveset has evolved, and she's definitely one of the more "popular" Tekken characters, but I actually think she's outshined by many other characters in the series. I never really liked her "robotic" personality, but it is a part of her design. I was as surprised as anyone to see her star in her own original (and crappy) action game, Death by Degrees. What's also pretty amazing is how Nina managed to retain her good looks after all these years (while all the other Tekken veterans got old and ugly).... Haha, cryosleep FTW! Good job Dr. B!
