==Overview==
===Background===
Emilie 'Lili' de Rochefort is the only daughter of a wealthy Monegasque oil magnate. Given her privileged background, Lili had a pampered upbringing. Four years prior to the fifth King of Iron Fist Tournament, Lili was kidnapped and held for ransom. During her captivity, Lili struggled violently to free herself and successfully defeated one of her abductors, triggering a hunger for conflict in her.
Lili was freed and found herself eager to continue fighting. Though her father disapproved of her new interest, Lili was able to attend several street fighting tournaments under the pretense of going on vacation. During this period, she received an invitation to the fifth King of Iron Fist Tournament from an opponent she defeated in San Francisco. Lili realized that the host of the tournament was the Mishima Zaibatsu, a conglomerate causing trouble for her father's business. She decided to enter the tournament in hopes of putting an end to her father’s business troubles.
Asuka Kazama defeated Lili at the fifth King of Iron Fist Tournament, and Lili's father learned that she had been fighting against his wishes. Lili was banned from leaving home, leaving her unable to pursue a rematch with Asuka.
Soon after, Mr. Rochefort's oil fields were taken over by the Mishima Zaibatsu. His company fell into disarray, and he collapsed due to stress. Concerned for her father's well-being, Lili began formulating a plan to reclaim the oil fields from the Mishima Zaibatsu. As she was making her plans, the sixth King of Iron Fist Tournament was announced. Lili entered the tournament to enact her plans and help her father.
At some point following Lili's participation in the tournament, Lili encountered Lars Alexandersson and Alisa Bosconovitch. She told them she had not had the opportunity to fight Asuka, and that she would imminently be returning home to Monaco. To assist in Lars and Alisa's conflict with the Mishima Zaibatsu and its leader, Jin Kazama, Lili provided them with a vehicle.
Lili went on to enter the seventh King of Iron Fist Tournament without telling her father she would be attending. She was matched against Asuka. Asuka defeated Lili; however, Lili continued going to lengths to get Asuka's attention, even buying her family's dojo and decorating it in roses.
Lili entered the eighth King of Iron Fist Tournament when it was announced by Kazuya Mishima. She won the Europe B Block preliminary and moved on to the next round of the tournament held in a coliseum in Italy. Lili brought Asuka (who was not competing) along to spectate her participation in the tournament. Here, Lili witnessed Kazuya Mishima's ascent to his True Devil form. Lili offered to take Jin Kazama to Yakushima on her private jet so that he could act on guidance provided to him. Lili and Asuka performed reconnaissance on Yakushima to locate Kazuya's G Corporation forces. During the battle between Yggdrasil and G Corporation's forces, Lili and Asuka intervened in a fight between Alisa Bosconovitch and G Corporation's Jack-8, disabling Jack-8 before he could defeat Alisa.
===Abilities/Skills===
Her fighting style is counter and combo-oriented. She has one of the best sidesteps in the series, a command sidestep, many combo and launcher options, and many of her attacks get benefits from landing as a counterattack. However, her approach game is one of the worst and has a hard time applying pressure. As such, she is best played defensively, attacking weak points and countering mistakes.
===Personality===
Despite that Lili is portrayed as selfish and stuck-up, she is actually a very gentle and sweet young lady underneath. However, she revels in fighting despite her elegant appearance. This is proven throughout Scenario Campaign if she is chosen by the player. In almost every stage, it is also implied that she is sadistic, showing that she sees most of the fighters as "toys to play with" and also in her stage if the player plays as anyone except Lili, Asuka, Jin or Lars. In fact, if they play as Nina and enter Lili's stage, she describes Lili as "having a screw loose" and a "brat who should be in bed by now".
Lili has a very kind attitude which belies her snobbery. She strives for grace and poise with every movement — particularly during fights. Lili is very confident in her fighting abilities - as shown by her winning and pre-match quotes - even though she lacks formal training in any personal combat style. (Her father, who loathes violence in any form, refused to let her attend the local savate studio. Ergo, young Lili had to settle for ballet and gymnastics, both of which figure prominently in her brawling.)
Lili's efforts to satisfy her fondness for hand-to-hand combat are checked by the deep loyalty and affection she shares with her father. As an example of the latter, before fighting her opponent Ganryu, Lili says that he has robust eyebrows...just like her father's.
Lili's reserved and quietly confident demeanor stands in contrast of Asuka's, who is often more brash and arrogant. Lili shows characteristics ranging from elegance and gracefulness to belittlement and, to an extent, sadism.
