Family Ties - Vendetta: The Tiger and The Dragon
A Street Fighter Fanfiction By The Headcrook
Legal Disclaimer: All characters are the property of Capcom Entertainment. Seeing as how Kirina's character was a big success, I decided to give Ryu a younger sister. Rather than create a new OC, I decided to use one of Capcom's characters, namely Satsuki, the sword-wielding Japanese doll.

Bio:
Satsuki's birthname is May Hoshi. She is the estranged younger sister of Ryu Hoshi, the infamous Antsasuken master and Street Fighter champion. When her mother was pregnant with her, her parents were in a car accident and May's mother managed to name her child with her last breath. May was then adopted by a Japanese Shadowlaw technician who had no children of her own. As a child, may showed remarkable abilities with a sword, causing the tech to enlist her into the newly-organized doll program. May underwent gene therapy and the brutal Shadowlaw training regimen and at the age of sixteen, became the last member of the elite Shadowlaw dolls to enlist.
Given the codename Satsuki - and a new Murumasa sword from her mentor - May became an invaluable member of the Shadowlaw dolls, acting as an enforcer and assassin. Following Shadowlaw's downfall, she discovered through a DNA test (Shadowlaw had samples of Ryu's blood and DNA stored) that Ryu was her older brother. During the chaos that followed Shadowlaw's destruction, her foster mother was killed by Shadowlaw members Doctrine Dark and Cracker Jack while hiding in Japan. Satsuki buried the person the closest to her as a mother and swears a blood oath that she will satisfy her sword's bloodlust with that of her mentor's murderers.
Aside from being a top-notch martial artist who aside from wielding a Murumasa with devestating efficency, Satsuki is also an expert in hand-to-hand combat, having mastered both the Shadowlaw Commando fighting style and Lethwei, a Burmese version of Muay Thai. While searching for her mentor's murderers in England, Satsuki has several run-ins with Delta Red, Cammy's division. She particualry dislikes Cammy's teammate, Lita Luwanda, mainly because they had several run-ins back when Satsuki was an assassin.
Despite her origins as an assassin, Satsuki is a person who is disciplined and dignified when it comes to fighting and, like her brother, holds honor in high regard, mainly because she refuses to kill her targets behind her back. While tracking both Jack and Dark, she discovers that they plan on killing both Ryu and his Chinese fiancee. Under Juli's orders, Satsuki has to protect Ryu at all costs.
Despite her background as a Shadowlaw assassin, Satsuki is just as clever as well as deadly. She is fluent in English, Japanese and Portguese (having spent most of her time in Brazil) and her IQ is that of a geinus level. Like Ryu, she also has the Dark Hadou (genetic trait in the Hoshi family) which was fused by Psycho Power.
Special Moves:
-Shadowlaw Commando and Lethwei-
Spiral Arrow - The standard Shadowlaw special move. Spinning low to the ground, Satsuki kicks her opponent's feet from underneath them.
Rising Dragon's Kiss - If you think Rugal's Genocide (Destroyer) Cutter was a badass antiair move, Satsuki's anti-air blows his out of the water. She runs several steps towards her opponent before leaping into the air, foot outstretched. While in midair, she spins and drives her heel into her opponent, sending them back to the ground.
Knee Bash into Scissor Leg Toss - Before Kirina came up with this move, Satsuki used this move as her own. Grabbing her opponent, she drills her knee into their torso several times before flinging them across the area with her leg.
Mach Slide - Taught to her by Juni, but Satsuki modified it. After reappearing in her oppoent's face, she punches the hell out of them.
Super Move: Reverse Shaft Breaker - Self-explanitory
Super Move: Spin Drive Smasher - Ditto.
-Japanese Swordfighting-
Cherry Blossom Slash - Satsuki bumrushes her opponent, and performs two horizontal slashes before finishing with an overhead slash.
Rising Lotus Slash - Satsuki leaps into the air, spinning and blade extended, slicing into her opponent repeatedly.
Murumasa Deflect - Undergoing genetic expeimentation has left Satsuki with advanced psychomotor reflexes when it comes to her weapons. She can deflect bullets and various ki attacks with her Murumasa sword with little difficulty.
Murumasa Counter - Satsuki holds her sword in a defensive stance, eyes closed. When an opponent closes in, reaches in with her free hand, tosses them into the air and slashes them.
Super Move: Deadly Tempest - Satsuki butts the opponent with her shoulder before delivering a series of slashes with her sword. She then finishes them off with a rising slash that knocks them away.
