She was among the many characters said to have "died" between Tekken 2 and 3 because of Ogre (Toshin). She was in Tag (a non-canonical game) and had a whole new moveset and it looked like she was starting to build up into a unique character in her own right (Lee's movelist evolved from Law's much the same way) but she was excluded from Tekken 5, the game that seemed to bring back all the supposedly "dead" characters (Baek, Bruce, Wang, Anna etc.)
