Zarina is a member of KOF
XIV's South America Team along with Bandeiras and
Nelson. Zarina
fights hard to protect the nesting place of her toucan companion
"Coco" whose species is facing the threat of extinction. In her
team's ending, she reveals to her teammates that she was able to procure the
land she wanted with Antonov's
help, as he already had purchased much of the land for one of his businesses.
Although the others assume she had won him over by appealing to his emotions,
she gleefully admits she simply kicked him in the crotch instead. Being
Brazilian, she is fond of Samba dance and uses her dancing skills in battle.

Zafina,
meet Zarina. Fun Fact: I like toucans. Zarina's design seems bright and likeable
at first glance. She's got a fairly interesting mix of Capoiera, flippy-spin
kicks and dance moves. However, in my opinion, her fighting style lacks polish,
some of her kicks lack oomph, and her moveset is just plain mediocre overall. I
was expecting more. I was also hoping to see that toucan in action.
Alas, Zarina is one of my least favorite newcomers in KOF XIV. She really
seems like a "filler" character. In retrospect, she's not the type of
design you'd expect to see appear in a sequel 10 years down the road... the
originality just isn't quite there. Yeah, she's a visually alright design... but
it takes more than that to be a successful fighting game character. Zarina
almost seems more suited to be a "background character" of sorts.
