Synopsis[]
Original Timeline[]
Ling Xiaoyu was originally born and raised in Mainland China. She was tutored in martial arts from a young age by her relative Wang Jinrei. He believed that if she were more serious, she could become great. While vacationing in Hong Kong with her family, she noticed a Mishima Zaibatsu yacht.
Knowing that the Mishima Zaibatsu was rich and powerful, she decided to seek out Jin Kazama's infamous paternal grandfather Heihachi Mishima and make her dream of owning an amusement park a reality. Abandoning her family, Xiaoyu stowed away on the yacht until the ship's security forces soon discovered her. By the time Heihachi arrived on the scene, all of his personal security force had been beaten into unconsciousness by Xiaoyu. Heihachi found Xiaoyu and she threatened to beat him up. Amused by her juvenile antics, Heihachi promised to build her theme park if she won his tournament.
She enrolled at the Mishima Polytechnical School, where she first met Heihachi Mishima's emotionless and cynical grandsons Jin Kazama, becoming good friends with him. Bringing along her old school's trained Panda, Heihachi taught Panda how to fight, so that Xiaoyu would have a personal bodyguard. Because of this, Xiaoyu sees Heihachi as something of a grandfather figure.
