GENERAL/STORY:
Vanessa is a security guard of unknown origin, using Vale Tudo as her fighting style. She entered the tournament as Sarah's bodyguard after hearing of J6's plans to re-capture her. When she was still a child, Vanessa's parents were killed. She was taken by J6 shortly afterwards, and trained to be an instrument of combat. A man named Lewis, a member of the special forces, infiltrated J6 and rescued Vanessa. Vanessa grew close to Lewis. However, their time together was brief, as a member of J6's special forces murdered Lewis. Years later, she has joined an organization to protect important individuals. One day, she hears of J6's intention to capture Sarah in the 4th tournament. Vanessa decides to join the 4th tournament not only as Sarah's bodyguard, but to find Lewis's murderer as well.

REVIEW:
She definitely shows a somewhat of a resemblance of Storm, minus the cool weather controlling powers. Vale-Tudo is cool, but Vanessa's fighting style didn't turn out being all that exciting in VF4, though it did improve slightly in the sequels. I do wonder why they made her skin "lighter" in Virtua Fighter 5... Maybe to make her look less like Storm? It's possible. In any case, I don't think her silver hair suits her, and her personality is a bit dry. She adds "something" to her series, but so many characters exceed her.
