When I was younger, I didn't play many games myself. Instead I watched my brother and sister play. Occasionally, we would pop a fighter game into our first generation playstation and I would fight my siblings (I usually lost terribly). To this day, I remember a character that I can't recall the name of, or even the game she's from. It bothers me that I don't remember who she is and I've been trying to figure out who she is for the last year or so, but I still can't find any sign of her on the internet.

I asked my brother about her, and he seems to remember a similar character, but also doesn't remember who or where she came from. And so I come to you, my gaming experts, to see if I'm remembering something that's not real.

What I do remember:
-Tight, floor-length dress; it was like a robe or a kimono and possibly tied off at the bottom.
-Fighting style involved kicking with entire lower body; I remember the low kicks the best, when she would hold herself off the ground with her arms and swipe her opponent's feet out from under them.
-Had to be a Playstation game; it was the only console we had at the time.

I also don't remember 100% if she was even a she, but I kind of assumed so because of the dress.

So, can you help me out?

Do you know when this was? if you can narrow down when the game may have been out, you could just search it up for yourself. I don't remember playing any games like that though - I also have my first gen PS1 but back then I was into wrestling games and Street Fighter.

I think it was before 2000, probably around 1997 or 8 when we were playing it, but I can't be certain -- I was all small and innocent back then.

So far I've looked through pretty much the entire cast of Battle Arena Toshinden, the female characters for Tekken, and the cast of Street Fighter. I just can't think of any other fighting games we might have had...

Same here -- there are a few other characters from games like Bushido Blade, but since it is a fighter -- it's limited.

Maybe like this?

Sounds like Chun-Li's fighting style to me. But if you have bee looking for a long time it seems unlikely to me that you would not have found her if it was. What would also help is telling anything you can remember about the other characters, was the game full 3d or 2d, and did it have a theme to it like character transformation, mecha, or energy beam attack?

Colors or alternate costumes you can remember might also help.
