Biography[]
The art of Divekicking is well known in a parallel dimension called Downworld. Kung Pao is champion of this realm. Her strength, loyalty, dedication, and leadership may be unmatched, but her world has been overthrown by her evil step-father, Theodore Khan, and his army of color coded ninja thugs. She fought alongside a small but passionate group of rebels until she accidentally kicked a hole in the fabric of the universe and fell through it. She landed in this dimension and has thus far been unable to find a way home to save her friends and her world.
Appearance[]
Kung Pao's appearance is loosely based off of Kung Lao's. she wears the same hat as he does, as well as a thigh-length qipao and knee-length tabi. Her feet are not completely wrapped, as the upper part and toes are bared.

Strategy[]
Kung Pao is a character of trickery. Her portals open up a lot of opportunities for 50/50s, leaving your opponent guessing on what you will do with them. They also enable her to control a lot of effective range at once, forcing enemies to approach, which Kung Pao usually doesn't wanna have to do herself, considering her low jump height.
