Crimson Viper

Crimson Viper, also known as C.Viper and Maya, is a character from the Street Fighter series.
== Charactah Account ==
A spy from the CIA acting as a mole in Seth's organization. She was sent to gather data on S.I.N. (Shadaloo Intimidation Network) and its BLECE Project, and to stop them. She has a daughter named Lauren.
C. Viper's working personality is superior and condescending, as seen in her interactions with Chun-Li, Cammy, and Hakan. However, she is also genuinely interested in the inner workings and problems of the other fighters, as shown in her various win-quotes, but when it comes to her missions, C. Viper will not let anyone stop her from completing her goals.

== Trivia ==
* C. Viper is notable for having these distinctions in the series.
** The first of the three playable female characters from the United States, the other two are Poison and Lucia.
** The only character whose fighting potential doesn't come from a known spiritual energy, martial art (currently), combat sport or physical training.
** The first and only known playable single parent and mother so far.
** The only character who wasn't in the Street Fighter III series or Street Fighter X Tekken who can Super Jump.
* C. Viper's fighting stance has a minor resemblance to Sharon's fighting stance.
* C. Viper's physical appearance could've been inspired by the famous actress Angelina Jolie, specifically by her roles in Tomb Raider (live-action film) and Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
* The Super Street Fighter IV website lists her birth date as July 18 and the official Marvel vs. Capcom 3 website lists her age as 30.
* C. Viper's second alternate costume features a logo around the chest area incredibly similar to that of the real-life CIA.
* She has a mobile phone very similar to the Nokia N76, as seen in Street Fighter IV: The Ties That Bind.
* As a CIA agent, she is currently one of the people investigating Q.
* C. Viper's gloves and boots are fully visible if she is wearing either her Street Fighter IV or Super Street Fighter IV alternate costumes.
* In Street Fighter IV: The Ties That Bind, her boots allow sustained flight, though in-game they can only provide quick bursts of height (since no character is able to fly in-game).
* Her suit and moves closely resemble those of fellow Capcom character Captain Commando.
* C. Viper shares some few similarities with The King of Fighters character Vanessa. They are both adult red-haired women (and mothers) who work as an secret agent (C. Viper being an undercover CIA agent and Vanessa being a mercenary agent), and they both entered a fighting tournament under orders to pursue a criminal organization (among other missions).
* C. Viper is the only playable character from SFIV not to make a direct and/or cameo appearance in Street Fighter X Tekken. However, Tekken character Jin Kazama dons a battlesuit similar to C. Viper's as one of his swap costumes, and C. Viper herself is referenced in the descriptions (and the Japanese website).
* C. Viper might have worked with Colonel Wolfman (Cammy's boss in Delta Red) in the past, according to her post-round win quote against Cammy.
* An unlockable title for C. Viper in Super Street Fighter IV, captioned "Gotta Quit Smoking" suggests (though not confirmed) that C. Viper herself is a smoker.
* In Dead Rising 4, a chibi version of C. Viper is seen in an electronic panel during the final battle.
* As noted above, C. Viper is the only character introduced in the Street Fighter IV series who made a debut in a Marvel vs. Capcom game.
* C. Viper is the first character to retain the Focus Attack mechanic in a crossover game (in her case, the Marvel vs. Capcom games), followed by Ryu and Ken in the Super Smash Bros. games.
