Introduction
Nina Williams is a character of the Tekken games. She is the cold-blooded assassin that made her first appearance in the original Tekken game and has appeared in every Tekken ever since. Nina has a lethal fighting style, consisting of throws, grapples, and holds. She has a rivalry with her younger sister named Anna Williams. During the end of Tekken 2, Nina undergoes Cryogenic Sleep and is experimented upon for 15 years (that is the reason why Nina and her sister remains so young during the many years of the King of Iron Fist Tournament). During those years of Cryogenic sleep, she was pregnant and gave birth to Steve Fox (who has appeared in Tekken 4 and Tekken 5).
Nina also stars in her own action/strategy game, Death by Degrees. It was released in Japan in January 2005, North America in February 2005, and Europe in April 2005. The game is considered a huge flop by fans and critics alike, feeling that even Tekken 5's mediocre Devil Within side game was better.
While there has been a good deal of Voice Actresses voicing Nina Williams, the most noteworthy of all Nina voice actresses has to be Lisle Wilkerson, who has been voicing Nina in Tekken 4 and 5. Nina was also voiced by Yumi Touma in the earlier Tekken games.
Story
Tekken 5
Her past still shrouded in mystery. Nina continued her life as a contract assassin.
Although Nina discovered that Steve Fox was her biological son after receiving information from the Syndicate, she remained emotionally unchanged.
Soon after, the Syndicate was taken down by Hong Kong detective Lei Wulong and Nina no longer had a motive for assassinating Steve. She instead decided to concentrate her efforts on uncovering her past. Nina believed that payiing her sister Anna a visit might help in recovering her memory.
Upon meeting up with Anna the two engaged in a fierce gun battle. The battle lasted for days but neither side was able to finish the standoff so it was decided that they would meet again at the recently announced King of Iron Fist Tournament 5.

Tekken 4
After the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2, the Mishima Zaibatsu used Nina as an experimental test subject for cryogenics research. Fifteen years later, Nina was released from cryosleep and appeared in the third Tournament. She fought through the Tournament while suffering from cryosleep-induced amnesia.
Since then, Nina disappeared from the reaches of the Mishima Zaibatsu and spent her days carrying out missions as a contract assassin. To this day, she has been unable to regain memories of Anna or her personal life.
As a woman without memories or close relations, the only person Nina could count on was herself. Carrying out her hits for profit was the only reality she could rely on.
One day, Nina received a new contract from a Mafia organization. The target of the contract was Steve Fox, a boxing world champion. With a little research, Nina discovered that Fox was a participant in the King of Iron Fist Tournament 4. Nina set her sights on completing her new mission and infiltrated the Tournament.

Tekken 3
Version 1
After failing to assassinate Kazuya Mishima in the last Tournament, she was forced to become a test subject for cryogenic research. Reawakened by Ogre's powers, she is determined to eliminate Jin Kazama.
Version 2
In the last tournament she was ordered to assassinate Kazuya, but an untimely quarrel with her sister Anna prevented it. Shortly thereafter, both sisters were captured by Kazuya's corps and were used as guinea pigs in Boskonovitch's Cold Sleep #2 experiment. They did not wake up for 15 years. Heihachi's private corps, the Tekken Forces, went to the burial site and excavated Ogre. This unearthing unleashed its spirit, which awakened Nina's resting soul. Now controlled by Ogre, Nina acts robotically, with the command to assassinate Jin Kazama.

Ending Animation "Cemetary"
Tekken 1
Version 1
A silent assassin. She learned assassination techniques from her father and those of aikido for self protection from her mother, therefore she has an outstanding fighting sense. She was sent to assassinate Heihachi Mishima, the sponsor of the tournament, but her real intentions are not clear.
Version 2
Nina acquired her unusual combination of skills from her parents. Her father, once an assassin for the IRA left Ireland to escape his past. His marriage to a British Aikido champion created a bloodline that would spawn a child with incredible talent and a killer instinct. Nina was kidnapped by an underground force and drugged into believing that that the Rave War sponsor must be assassinated. God help anyone who gets in her way.
