Biography

Emilie ‘Lili’ de Rochefort is the daughter and only child of a wealthy Monegasque oil magnate. Given her privileged background, Lili had a pampered upbringing. Four years prior to the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5, she was kidnapped and held captive for ransom. After a violent struggle, Lili broke free and engaged her abductor in combat. For Lili, defeating her kidnapper triggered passion for a new hobby. Lili returned home, eager to pursue a career in martial arts. Yet her father disapproved of Lili's new interests; barred from attending the local savate studio, she had to settle for ballet and gymnastics... both of which figure prominently in her self-developed fighting system. She attended several street-fighting tournaments, under the pretense of going on vacation. During this period, Lili received an invitation to the 5th King of Iron Fist Tournament from an opponent she defeated in San Francisco. Lili realized that the host of the tournament was the Mishima Zaibatsu, a conglomerate causing trouble for her father’s business. She decided to enter the tournament in hopes of putting an end to her father’s business troubles.[11] Asuka Kazama defeated Lili at the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5, and Lili’s father learned that she had been fighting against his wishes. Lili was banned from leaving home, leaving her unable to pursue a rematch with Asuka.

Soon after, Mr. Rochefort’s oil fields were taken over by the Mishima Zaibatsu. His company fell into disarray, and he collapsed due to stress. Concerned for her father’s well-being, Lili began formulating a plan to reclaim the oil fields from the Mishima Zaibatsu. As she was making her plans, the King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 was announced. Lili entered the tournament to enact her plans and help her father.[12] At some point following Lili’s participation in the tournament, Lili encountered Lars Alexandersson and Alisa Bosconovitch. She told them she had not had the opportunity to fight Asuka, and that she would imminently be returning home to Monaco. To assist in Lars and Alisa’s conflict with the Mishima Zaibatsu and its leader, Jin Kazama, Lili provided them with a vehicle.[13] Lili went on to enter the King of Iron Fist Tournament 7 without telling her father she would be attending. She was matched against Asuka.[14] Asuka defeated Lili;[15] however, Lili continued going to lengths to get Asuka's attention, even buying her family's dojo and decorating it in roses.[16]

Lili entered the King of Iron Fist Tournament 8 when it was announced by Kazuya Mishima. She won the Europe B Block preliminary[17] and moved on to the next round of the tournament held in a coliseum in Italy. Lili brought Asuka (who was not competing) along to spectate her participation in the tournament. Here, Lili witnessed Kazuya Mishima’s ascent to his True Devil form. Lili offered to take Jin to Yakushima on her private jet so that he could act on guidance provided to him.[18] Lili and Asuka performed reconnaissance on Yakushima to locate Kazuya's G Corporation forces.[19] During the battle between Yggdrasil and G Corporation's forces, Lili and Asuka intervened in a fight between Alisa Bosconovitch and G Corporation’s Jack-8, disabling Jack-8 before he could defeat Alisa.[20]

Personality

Lili has a snobbish, flippant personality. Though she has superficially good manners, she often comes across as dismissive of other people’s abilities and wishes, as well as insensitive to their feelings. Lili also has a sadistic side, threatening people with violence or even hitting a downed opponent for no reason other than ‘fun’. In contrast with her usual lofty attitude, Lili appears to care greatly for her father’s well-being, entering the fifth and sixth King of Iron Fist Tournaments to oppose the Mishima Zaibatsu’s encroachment on his business. Lili has great confidence her fighting abilities, as demonstrated in her winning and pre-match quotes, despite her lack of formal training in combat or martial arts. To get around her father’s disapproval of her fighting, Lili enters fights in secret or when he is too weak to object. If Lili is chosen as the player character in Scenario Campaign, she is often depicted as being curious even in the face of danger, intolerant of what she interprets as ‘bad manners’, and entertained by novel features of her opponents. She regularly refers to fighting as ‘playing’ and dismisses some fighters as ‘toys’. Lili’s materialistic side is also observable in this mode, as she insists that she will be taking Mokujin (who she believes to be a doll) home with her, and also desires to make Kuma her pet. Further to this, Lili comes across as ungrateful and oblivious to the value of expensive objects; in Scenario Campaign’s story cutscenes, she provides a vehicle to Lars Alexandersson and Alisa Bosconovitch, telling them that it was gifted to her but that she has no desire to keep it because she finds it ‘hideous’. She also is rather unimpressed at most of the big facilities or buildings tied to the G Corporation and Mishima Zaibatsu, compared to other characters who are often amazed at how big the areas are.

Since her loss to Asuka Kazama during the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5, Lili has thought of her as her rival and been eager for a rematch. Lili’s ending cutscenes in Tekken 6 and Tekken Tag Tournament 2, and her character episode in Tekken 7, have all featured scenarios wherein Lili and Asuka fight again (though none of these are yet confirmed as canon). Lili is depicted as going to great lengths to engineer their rematch in her Tekken Tag Tournament 2 ending cutscene, hiring actors to fight and draw Asuka out, then claiming Asuka’s title of ‘Gang Mediator’ and taunting her until she loses her temper and starts a fight. Lili’s butler, Sebastian, interprets this attempt to solicit Asuka’s attention as ‘another expression of [Lili’s] affections’. In Asuka’s Tekken 7 character episode ending cutscene, Lili reveals that she has bought Asuka’s father’s dojo and that she will be moving in, which frustrates Asuka. In Tekken 8, Lili also shows her love of cats, owning a Siamese cat named Salt. In her intro and win animations, she can be seen either chasing Salt or picking the cat up and hugging it close to her, displaying her somewhat naive side as she does not seem to understand why the cat flees or notice it struggling slightly to escape the embrace.

Appearance

Lili is a tall teenage girl with blue eyes. She is the tallest female fighter at 180 cm, further emphasized the heeled footwear she often wears. She has long blonde waist length hair styled in a hime-cut. She is generally seen wearing a white Victorian style frilled mini dress with long sleeves and fingerless gloves, a red checkered ascot tie with matching socks, and heeled white boots, as well as a ruby red jewel worn on her ascot tie. She also wears light makeup, such as pink lip gloss and light pink eyeshadow and a hint of pink blush. In Tekken 8, she has purple eyes instead of her usual blue eyes.

Outfits

Lili's main outfit in Tekken 8 as seen in her reveal trailer consists of a dress with a high white collar tied with a red cravat that has a clear gem and clip at the center, and puffed sleeves ending at her elbow with lace frills underneath. The dress has pink bodice with a mauve panel down the center and a pale pink skirt ending in frills. The pink portions of the bodice have intricate embroidery, while the pale pink skirt has a repeating pattern embroidered around the length of it, and the mauve panel at the center has five white buttons down the middle. Underneath this is a lace skirt, and under that, Lili wears a pair of light pink shorts. With this outfit, Lili wears a pair of pale lavender-pink platform boots with red ribbon lace leading to a bow with a clear gem in the center matching the one that fastens her cravat, a white tongue, white soles, and a lace pattern just above the toe of each boot. Lili also wears pink thigh high socks with pale pink cuffs and silver embroidery down the front. She wears fingerless gloves similar to those from her earlier appearances; white with a red trim around each finger as well as the opening, but this time with a heart-shaped opening at the back and lace trim. Underneath her cravat, Lili wears a bronze necklace with a bell shaped charm attached to a matching bronze bow with a long tassel, which is surrounded by white, pearl-shaped charms.

In the good ending, Lili and Asuka are seen bickering with one another at Smith's Coffee in New York.

Gameplay

Lili has many versatile moves and easy-to-use, effective attacks, which benefit from great range and reach thanks to her long legs. Her damage output is surprisingly high, her counterattacks, juggling, and wall fighting will all eat away at her opponent's health. That said, some of her more popular strings are easily recognizable, and may leave her wide open to punishment. She is also somewhat slow and virtually almost all of her attacks can be sidestepped, as she lacks many homing attacks. Close range is also not a strength of hers when pitted against quicker characters. She makes up for this however with her ranged attacks which can be used at mid to long range to keep an opponent from moving in. Her lows are not the best however and are predictable which can make it difficult for her to open up opponents. Lili also has quite a handful of attacks that involve her jumping which can crush lows, and she has a deadly okizeme ground game, which makes it scary to deal with Lili when she successfully knocks the opponent down. She also possesses an attack reversal, as well as a wall throw. She can go into a back-turned stance, Mirror Image, giving her access to more moves, and specific attacks can also leave her back-turned. Lili's sidestep is noted to be one of the strongest in the series, and she can avoid strings and attacks that would normally hit most of the playable cast. Lili also possesses a wavedash-adjacent stance known as Dew Glide, which can be used for combo extensions and as a way to move in with varied moves that can apply pressure against guarding opponents.

Tekken 8 gives her more options to work with to improve her mix-ups, having a new back-turned low punch, a new mid kick into a jumping kick that can evade highs, and a new low kick from the stance as well, and additional moves which can be cancelled into her Feisty Rabbit and Dew Glide stances. Her Feisty Rabbit hop stance was also improved, now being able to be performed twice in succession(it was previously only possible to do this when she undergoes Heat). Like the other fighters in the roster, her moveset gains notable improvements from the Heat mechanic; Her Piercing Thorn becomes stronger and better for pressure, granting her plus frames when blocked. Her low from Feisty Rabbit also becomes stronger, as it knocks down on normal hit, giving her a stronger combo opportunity. She also has access to a back-turned attack and forward facing attack in Heat that can be used both as a strong ender or as a way to continue juggles.

Fighting Style

Lili's fighting style is characterized by Gymnastics moves combined with many dance-like, acrobatic maneuvers - graceful and versatile spins, cartwheels, handstands, tumbles and pirouettes. This fighting style is self-learned and self-developed by Lili herself, since her father, who dislikes fighting, would probably never allow her to even practice any sort of formal martial arts training. This is probably why some of Lili's moves often reflect her background and personality, as she tends to strike a lot of elegant, graceful poses as she attacks. Even her generic attacks such as her crouching kicks and jabs tend to have an air of elegance and grace. She also tends to gracefully place one or both arms behind her back when performing some moves.
