Lili

Story

Lili is a member of the De Rochefort family and the only daughter of a wealthy oil magnate and head of Rochefort Enterprises, Mr. Rochefort. She was originally introduced as a playable character in Tekken 5.

Being the only child of a rich parent, Lili spent most of her life prior to the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5 in luxury, residing in her family mansion in Monaco. One day, she was kidnapped and held captive for ransom. However, she managed to defeat her abductors in a fight, and this sparked her hunger for conflict. After Lili was freed, she made a decision to continue fighting and secretly entered several street fighting tournaments so her father wouldn't find out about her new interest.

One of her opponents from San Francisco sent Lili an invitation to join the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5. After realizing that Mishima Zaibatsu hosted the tournament, she decided to enter because this corporation was causing a lot of trouble to her father's business. Asuka Kazama defeated Lili at the tournament, and her father learned that she had been fighting all this time, although he didn't approve of it. Mr. Rochefort banned Lili from leaving their home, so she won't be able to rematch against Asuka.

Later, Rochefort's oil fields were taken over by Mishima Zaibatsu Corporation, and Rochefort Enterprises fell into disarray. Mr. Rochefort had a hard time dealing with stress and collapsed. Lili was deeply concerned about her father's state and decided to do whatever it took to reclaim oil fields from Mishima Zaibatsu. As soon as the King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 was announced, Lili entered it with hopes of finding a way to enact her plans.

During the tournament, Lili met Lars Alexandersson and Alisa Bosconovitch, who were already in conflict with Mishima Zaibatsu. To assist, she provided them with a vehicle but later had to return home to Monaco, never getting a chance to fight Asuka again. Later though, she secretly entered the King of Iron Fist Tournament 7, where she was finally matched against Asuka.

Personality

Because of her origin, Lili has excellent manners while being snobbish and flippant. She's also quite arrogant, often dismissive of other people's wishes and feelings, and even cruel and sadistic sometimes towards her opponents. On the other hand, Lili is a loving daughter who cares deeply for her father and his well-being. She entered the King of Iron Fist tournaments primarily to find a way to help her family reclaim what has been taken from them, and she's always ready to fight for the ones she loves. 

Playstyle

Lili is an extremely versatile character with many easy-to-use moves and great range on her kicks, thanks to her long legs. Her mixup, combo, and wall juggling potential is great and can destroy her opponent's healthbars in the blink of an eye. She can pin down her opponent from range and engage in close combat, but most of her moves are telegraphed quite obviously and could be sidestepped and punished. Her elegant fighting style involves a lot of acrobatic and dance-like moves, which fits her origin perfectly.  

Appearance

Lili is a tall young woman with long blond hair who wears a white dress with a high collar tied by a cravat with a gem in the center. She also wears a pair of platform boots and high pink socks with a pattern. Under her puffed sleeves, she wears fingerless gloves.
