Mortal Kombat 1 Kombatant Profile: Pafu:
Note, her default appearance is a humanoid bone crushing dog (borophagus) based on her fairy form with features of a Roman gladiator mixed in with her human form’s maid costume (she wears a skirt based on her maid costume together with Mary Janes and an armoured gauntlet on her left arm) and fights with a spatha and scutum shield, the former being kept on her right hip when not in use. She still goes topless in her default skin because her species does not have breasts unless they’re nursing.
Bio:
The maid of the Hope Kingdom’s (or Hoperealm) royal family hailing from the Boros Tribe of fairies (or Beastmen to the non-Hope Kingdom natives) native to the Hope Kingdom , Pafu was given away at a young age to the Hope Kingdom Royal Family, being adopted by the family of Aroma; the butler of the Hope Kingdom. Pafu grew up closely with Aroma, being trained in both Kombat and the finer points of being a maid, being noted for her strength even amongst the physically strong Boros if a bit clumsy and oblivious at times.
When Dys Dark reappeared after millennia of being sealed away, Pafu was sent alongside her adopted brother Aroma together with three Princess Perfumes belonging to the legendary princesses known as the PreCures to distribute to whoever the Perfumes bonded with . Arriving in Earthrealm together with her brother, Aroma, they went their own separate ways, with Aroma taking two of the Princess Perfumes and Pafu taking one which got lost due to Pafu’s clumsiness.
Fortunately, Pafu found that the Princess Perfume that she lost has bonded to a certain Kirara Amanogawa, despite Amanogawa’s concerns that being a PreCure would be too much for her to bear alongside her modelling career. Now Pafu must help Kirara as a friend to fight Dys Dark and the conspiracy of Shang Tsung’s Titan self to destroy all she treasures out of spite.

Tower Ending:
(Shot of Pafu returning from the Battle of Armageddon and having Kirara return her Princess Perfume)
“With Shang Tsung’s Titan Self dealt with. I’ve returned to Earthrealm and met up with Kirara who wanted to return her Princess Perfume and Dress Up Key to me. She mentioned that she wanted to resign from her role as a PreCure to focus on her modelling career. But I sensed that her Princess Perfume and Dress Up Key found her a worthy inheritor of the mantle of Cure Twinkle: the Princess of Twinkling Stars.”
(Shot of Pafu convincing Kirara to remain as a PreCure followed by Pafu, Aroma and Cure Twinkle meeting Haruka and Minami at Hope Academy and handing them the remaining two Princess Perfumes and Dress Up Keys )
“But after what we’ve went through and with Dys Dark still rampaging around in Earthrealm, I convinced Kirara to remain as Cure Twinkle to protect the hopes and dreams of others. I also met up with my brother, Aroma and we eventually found successors to the titles of Cure Flora and Cure Mermaid.”
(Shot of the Go Princess PreCures and Pafu leading the charge together with Scorpion and Smoke leading the Shirai Ryu and Kenshi leading the OIA against some Dys Dark Zetsuborgs and the Lin Kuei led by Sub Zero)
“However, Dys Dark soon noticed that we have found successors to the other two Princess PreCures and have made an alliance with Bi-Han’s Lin Kuei. Fortunately, we took note of this and have formed a partnership with the Shirai Ryu and the OIA to protect the dreams of everyone in Earthrealm.”
“Time to fight for the hopes and dreams of all in Earthrealm, in Mortal Kombat.”
