Nina also begins to suffer side effects from the 'cold-sleep', resulting in long term memory loss. In Tekken 3, Anna is awakened at the same time as her sister, eighteen years after the second tournament, but she does not fall under Ogre's influence like Nina does. Her reasons for doing so remain ambiguous, though the game suggests that Anna would have felt lonely without Nina and/or jealous at the thought of her sister's youth being preserved. Learning about this, Anna volunteers to be another test subject, requesting that she be woken in the future at the same time as Nina. It is likely that Anna's interference prevents her sister from carrying out her contract, and Nina is later captured by Mishima Zaibatsu forces and used in Doctor Boskonovitch's cryogenics ('cold-sleep') research. Whether at Kazuya's discretion or Anna's own volition, Anna becomes a bodyguard for Kazuya, along with Ganryu and Bruce Irvin. In Tekken 2, Nina is hired to kill the tournament's sponsor, Kazuya Mishima. She is a playable character only in the console version of the game. ^9 The characters are only enemies in a certain mode.Īnna Williams ( アンナ・ウィリアムズ, Anna Wiriamuzu ?) is the younger sister of Nina Williams. ^8 The characters come from other playable character in the Endvideos ago.
