Speedy Cruel Beauty
MATURE
CV : Yu Shimamura
Mature once counted herself among the Hakkesshu—eight fervent acolytes plotting the resurrection of the divine Orochi (the so-called “will of the earth”). The cruel beauty is fast and fluid in her offense, lacerating opponents with razor-sharp strikes. Her coldhearted realism is a far cry from Vice’s own personality.

Congrats on joining the tournament!
Thanks. I'll try not to go too overboard.
You're here by special invitation this time around. How do you feel about that?
I wasn't planning on showing up, but after such an invitation who could refuse? It would be bad manners not to.
You were caught up in some trouble during your first KOF outing. Did you have any reservations about taking part thereafter?
Ah, yes... It was like the whole place had been torn up by a cyclone. Because of that I couldn't bring myself to join again for a while.
Well, now that you're here: Imagine teaming with any of the fighters in this tournament. Who makes the cut?
Hmm... Perhaps Leona Heidern? With her it's like a roll of the dice—and I'd love to see which way she falls.
You seem to have a connection with Team Sacred Treasures. Can you tell us about your ties to them?
I guess you could say we are bound forevermore—at least as long as one of us walks among the living.
How's your relationship with Chizuru?
To put it simply, we aren't compatible. I'm not good with stuffy "sworn mission" types.
And with Vice?
Is there something specific you want me to say here? We are colleagues. Comrades.
Do you have any pent-up feelings towards her?
Her failure to follow even the most basic of skin care routines is concerning, I suppose.
What about Shermie? Are you two on good terms?
Whenever she's not acting up I think we get along fine... I wouldn't call us friends though.
In prior tournaments you participated while wearing an eye patch. Why?
Oh, just to contain my overflowing power. Will that answer work?
What are your plans for the future? When all's said and done, and the dust has settled?
Now that's an interesting question... What exactly, pray tell, is there to be "done"?
Fair enough. Let's talk about the past, then: You were a secretary before. What was that like?
I was pretty good at it, if I do say so myself. But nothing beats the freedom to do as you please.
What led you to that position initially?
Things just turned out that way. Another boss of mine helped set it up, I suppose you could say.
Do you ever feel like working there again?
Well, I mean, it was a little suffocating. I much prefer to be the one in control—not the other way round.
I see. And when you ARE actually in control? How do you spend your free time?
Oh my. Trying to pry into my private affairs, are you? Just look at what's on my profile and use that imagination of yours.
What's your secret to staying so beautiful?
Don't treat your beauty care like a chore. (You hear that, Vice?)
Word is you like to sculpt. What sort of things do you make?
Accessories and such, lots of cute stuff. I never can use them myself though. Not my style.
Do you ever tell Vice about your hobbies?
I've tried to get her interested, but that girl's no good at things that require concentration and a gentle touch.
One of your fans has asked whether you're actually a ghost. Any comment there?
Hehe, has my skin gotten so fair that it appears transparent? Don't worry, darling, I'm the real deal.
We received a ton of questions for you this time around. Is there anything you want to say to your fans, who've been waiting for your return for so long?
Only this: let's enjoy the time we have together.
