Goeniko

**Goeniko** is an umbrella term used to identify a popular fan-made character for several characters, first designed, seen and made playable for the fighting game engine MUGEN. A reference to her as an independent character can be seen in the first pachi-slot game for The King of Fighters. Her first mod was made by Ahuron though several different versions of her have been made since then. She is also known by many other names such as Goenika, Amanda, Wind, Kazeko, Reas, Sheryl Wainwright, or simply Goenitz.

Goeniko, as a playable character in official games, debuted in The King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match Online. Also is a boss character appearing in Neo Geo Battle Coliseum 2, she is based on popular fan-made characters which are genderswaps of Goenitz. She shares similarities with Sinobu Amou from The King of Fighters EX2, in both moveset and story, and finally appears in the Memorial saga in KOF Memorial as an unlockable character.

## Story

### Lore

#### In KOF MUGEN

Goeniko was originally devised to be a clone of Goenitz that was created by Rugal. He wanted to use her to once again gain his hands on Orochi's power. However, she rebelled against her creator and stayed true to her origin's roots. She is a popular character for MUGEN drama stories, one of which includes MUGEN Stories Infinity.

#### In NGBC2

Goeniko was originally a blonde girl kidnapped by WAREZ in order to channel the spirit of Goenitz through her. Goenitz tries to awake again on her body, but he lost his mind.

## Personality

Originally she usually emulates Goenitz's personality. On some occasions, she acts more submissive and doesn't like to fight as much as her other counterparts, and at times, downplays the hatred of humans normally Goenitz has, making her act more like a traditional nun. One version of her also has a close partnership with Goenitz and Yuri.

In NGBC2 Goeniko is very shy and doesn't want to talk much. But her personality changed to what it is now because of the experiments she suffered by WAREZ. While possessed by Goenitz's spirit, She loses her mind, entering a state similar to the Riot of the Blood.

## Powers and Abilities

Due to being largely based from Goenitz, it is generally assumed she also carries the same set of Orochi powers and capabilities as the original, but these are mostly untouched, downplayed or ignored in various interpretations of Goeniko.

* **Slashing Hands** - Goeniko's hands can cut and pierce as if they were knives.
* **Aerokinesis** - Goeniko has full control over the air and wind currents.
	+ **Control Wind** - Goeniko can create and stop wind currents.
	+ **Create Hurricane** - Goeniko can create hurricanes and tornadoes out of nowhere.
	+ **Cutting Wind** - Goeniko can create blades of air. She can sometimes hurl a spinning blade to juggle her opponents.
	+ **Translocation** - Goeniko can move herself to somewhere nearby by transporting her molecules through the air.
	+ **Flight** - Goeniko can fly. Sometimes she also sprouts six astral wings from her back.

## Fighting Style

Originally Goeniko fights mainly with her control over wind. She has very little concern for a martial style. Some versions of her can also perform Rugal's Genocide Cutter.
