Now that Sylvie Paula Paula is playable in The King of Fighters XV, SNK updated the official site to go over her KOF XV backstory and Bellamy “interview.” The story revealed that she got interested in competing after running into Kukri, and Shermie helped her enter the tournament. Meanwhile, the interview went over her affection for other characters like Athena and Kula.
With the interview, it mainly went over her attire and different characters. As in the last game, she’s still connected to both Kukri and Mian. He’s even described as her rival in this installment. This backstory segment also noted her affection for Athena and Kula, as how she appreciates both’s appearance and attitude.
As for the reason why she joined, it started when she encountered Kukri in Paris after seeing Mian in China. She brought up how Otoma=Raga was mentioned, and he told her to keep out of it. She brought up the encounter and her displeasure at his reaction when spending time with Shermie. Shermie then offered Sylvie Paula Paula a KOF Special Invitation Letter so she’d have a chance to see for herself and encounter Kukri again.
The King of Fighters XV is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, and Sylvie Paula Paula is available as DLC now. A demo is available for the PS4 and PS5.
