==Summary==
Hsien-Ko is a playable character in the Darkstalkers series. 
She and her sister Mei-Ling were twins born in a family of chinese hermits, whose village was once attacked by a pack of Darkstalkers. Their mother sacrificed herself by using a powerful spell to annihilate the monsters, condemning her soul to be trapped in darkness in return. In order to free her, Hsien-Ko and Mei-Ling unleashed a forbidden ritual which turned them both into supernatural creatures and allowed them to hunt the Darkstalkers as Darkhunters. Hsien-Ko gained incredible strength and special powers, though with the risk of falling victim of her savage new nature. Mei-Ling then developed the ability to transform into a talisman and place herself on her sister's forehead, preventing her from losing control.
Many years later, and after Pyron's invasion of Earth, the two managed to slay enough Darkstalkers to free their mother's soul, at the cost of draining away their own spiritual energy. To not let them fade into oblivion, their mother used her power to make them reincarnate as newborns and allow them to live a new life. On the night of their 16th birthday, the twins awakened their hidden power, which was still inside them, dragging the attention of Jedah Dohma, who was gathering powerful souls for his aims. The demon cast a nightmare on them, stripping their bodies of their souls, which were transported into Majigen. But, thanks to their mother's blessing, the two were able to take once again their past bodies and memories, carving the way through the unknown realm, until they returned to Earth. Leaving behind their experience in the demon realm as a nothing more than a blurry dream, Hsien-Ko and Mei-Ling are finally reunited with their new parents and return to their everyday life.

</tabber>
Attack Potency: Small City level (Is a Darkhunter comparable to Donovan Baine and is able to fight against B+ Class Darkstalkers such as Lord Raptor, Victor and Anakaris. The latter was able to move the kingdom of Egypt to another dimension by pulling it down through the desert) | Human level (They are now normal teenagers), Small City level in their previous body (Unlocked their inner potential during their sixteenth birthday and their disembodied souls obtained perfect copies of their old bodies thanks to their mother's blessing, allowing them to use the power of their soul)
Speed: At least Supersonic+, likely higher (Able to keep up in close combat with characters such as B.B. Hood and Huitzil, both of which make large use of guns and various types of firearms) | Average Human normally, At least Supersonic+, likely higher in her previous body (As fast as before)
Lifting Strength: Class T (Comparable to Anakaris) | Average Human normally, Class T in her previous body (As strong as before)
Striking Strength: Small City level (Her physical strength is equivalent to the power of her soul, which is the same she draws for her special abilities) | Human level normally, Small City level in her previous body (As strong as before)
Durability: Small City level (Capable of taking blows from the Darkstalkers she hunts) | Human level normally, Small City level in her previous body (As durable as before)
Stamina: Very High (Extremely superior to C class Darkstalkers, who are able to take on an entire army on their own), Average as humans
Range: Standard to extended melee range normally, Tens of meters with throwing weapons and Chireitou.
Standard Equipment: Multi-purpose shapeshifting claws, her sister Mei-Ling, knives, boomerangs, axes, scimitars, shurikens, kunais, Akuma statues, Vega's claw, Chun-Li's bracelets, hammers, barrels, boulders, "stars", a saw, daggers, sais, spears, spiky balls, grappling hook, bombs, a chained anvil, a gong and its mace, giant blades.
Intelligence: Above Average (Both are seasoned Darkhunters, with plenty of experience in fighting against all types of monsters, and they ultimately managed to slay enough of them to free their mother's spirit from the darkness. Hsien-Ko mastered the use of many different weapons, being able to skillfully pull them off and swap one from another in the midst of combat, as well as combine them with her supernatural abilities to perform several special moves. In Vampire Savior, they retain their past experience and skill, but have the mind of common teenagers who always lived a normal life. Despite that, they still survived in Majigen, a place filled with hostile Darkstalkers, and eventually returned home)
Weaknesses: A strong mind/spirit can resist the madness-inducing effect of her aura and a dark heart can resist the corruption. In their Vampire Savior incarnation, they will lose their powers the moment they lose trust in each other.
Note: All the references not included in this profile are provided on the verse page.
Their Instinctive Reaction is briefly mentioned in the All About Vampire Savior guide, but also (despite it being not canon).
A Jiang-Shi is more properly defined as a vampire rather than a ghost, but official material and the game itself refer at them as chinese ghosts, hence why the classification as such.

*Anki Hou: Hsien-Ko tosses a weapon out of her sleeve in the opponent's direction, changing the angle depending on the situation. She possesses large set of items, with some of them (hammers, boulders, barrels and "stars") being able to stun the opponent, leaving them dizzy and unable to react for a brief period.
*Henkyou Ki: Hsien-Ko pulls out a gong and hits it with a mace, generating a sound wave that travels forward for a short distance. This move can also reflect projectiles and be performed in mid-air.
*Houten Geki: Hsien-Ko grabs the opponent and throws them in the air. She then starts spinning on herself in a circular motion, waiting for the opponent to fall down and being grinded by her claws.
*Senpuu Bu: Hsien-Ko shoots out a grappling hook, latches it onto a vertical point and starts swinging back and fort in a pendulum-like fashion, spinning her left claw in the meanwhile. 
*Tenrai Ha: Hsien-Ko brings her arm upwards and a large anvil plummets from her sleeve, generating a powerful shockwave that causes the opponent to fall on the ground, even if they are far from the anvil. After that, a volley of spike balls rains from the sky, crushing the opponent below. 
*Chuukadan: Hsien-Ko tosses out a living bomb, which explodes after nine seconds. Said bomb bounces back and forth when hit by attacks, and will damage both the opponent and Hsien-Ko. Sometimes, a red bomb comes out, featuring a timer of only six seconds.
*Chireitou: Hsien-Ko plants her hands down and a series of huge blades appear from the ground one after another, hitting the opponent multiple times.
*Rimoukon: Mei-Ling turns back into her human form, seemingly lending power to her sister. While in this state, Hsie-Ko gains an enhanced defense which works as an invisible armor for a limited time, allowing her to go through the opponent's attacks without being stopped or knocked back.
