History
Kula Diamond's origins (birthplace, parents, early life, etc.) are shrouded in obscurity. What is known, however, is that she was taken in by the NESTS cartel at a very young age, as one of the primary subjects of the Kyo Kusanagi cloning process, which started with K' and Krizalid.
During the Krizalid project, NESTS aimed to create a perfect Kyo Kusanagi clone. K' was the project's imperfect prototype; he needed a red gauntlet in order to control the Kusanagi flames inside his body. Krizalid was a near-perfect clone. NESTS was taken aback when K' rebelled and defeated Krizalid, so the group targeted K' for extermination. To this end, NESTS worked to complete the "Anti-K'" subject, which turned out to be Kula Diamond. This "Anti-K'" possessed the same design as K', with DNA altered so that the flames would be changed to become icy winds (further confirming the fact that Kula would be K's total opposite, and solidifying the "Anti-K'" factor).
Despite the fact that their subject was a mindless puppet with no sign of emotions (aside from being an innocent young girl), the NESTS cartel was not willing to repeat the same mistake they made with K'. Therefore, NESTS created an android called Candy Diamond, who would monitor Kula's behavior and assure that Kula would accomplish her missions, providing assistance in battle if she was needed. NESTS also assigned two of their top agents (Diana and Foxy) to supervise Kula from the sidelines, and to prevent any sort of betrayal by Kula herself. As time passed by, however, Kula slowly developed a feeling of friendship towards Candy, Diana, and Foxy, contrary to the purpose she was created for (the heartless counter to K').
Even though Kula's mission was to originally eliminate K', it was changed soon after when the clone of Zero (sent in to impersonate Ling, a military commander and close friend to Heidern, in the King of Fighters 2000 tournament) planned to use NESTS' own deadly weapon, the Zero Cannon, for his own devious purposes.
NESTS could not allow the Zero clone to gain control of such a lethal artifact, and was forced to change Kula's directives into stopping the clone Zero instead. Kula was sent into the stratosphere (where the Zero Cannon was located on a satellite) to destroy the Zero Cannon, while Diana and Foxy went to Southtown to stop the Zero clone. After K' defeated the Zero clone, Kula was given the signal to manually fire the Zero Cannon onto the Zero clone's hideout in Southtown. Kula's actions triggered not only one shot but several shots towards Southtown (thus, putting the scenario for the several endings that occurred in KOF 2000 when prior shots were also fired once the original shot was fired).
The original shot not only leveled the Zero clone's hideout, but also took the rest of the city of Southtown with it (this was actually considered to be NESTS' original purpose, in order to eliminate all possible evidence that may incriminate the NESTS cartel). However, Kula still had to destroy the Zero Cannon herself, in order to avoid it being used for the wrong purpose again. Kula succeeded in destroying the Zero Cannon, but by doing so, it prompted her to plummet down to the Earth in a free fall to her inevitable death. However, Candy Diamond, in an unusual display of courage and self-sacrifice (especially for an android), embraced Kula during her re-entry into the atmosphere.
When Kula regained consciousness, she found herself in the ruins of Southtown along with Diana and Foxy. She also found the remains of what used to be Candy, who suffered extensive damage in order to save Kula from burning up during the re-entry, and the subsequent crash into the ground. Candy's last word was "friend". Kula finally understood the true meaning of friendship as she embraced Candy's discarded head. The rest of the Zero Cannons were deactivated shortly after.
One year after the events in Southtown, NESTS once again retook their original purpose to eliminate K', who had now been very active in raiding several NESTS hideouts and destroying them. The NESTS cartel deemed that K's extermination was long overdue, and thus assigned Kula to fulfill her original mission. This time, however, she would have more company. Foxy was comisssioned to enter the tournament with her, along with two new agents: the 'femme fatale' Angel, and the newest Kyo Kusanagi clone, K9999. Fearing her possible emotional instability stemming from Candy's loss, NESTS decided to implement a copy of Candy's AI that would communicate directly to Kula via her cell phone, reducing the pain of her loss.
During the tournament, Kula and her cohorts received orders from NESTS to lead K' and his companions into a blimp that would take them directly to NESTS' main headquarters in outer space. They succeeded, as Foxy and Kula watched the blimp being blasted into space from a cliff overlooking the ocean. However, Kula was taken aback when K9999 stabbed Foxy in the back with his morphing arm, promptly killing her. K9999 and Angel apparently had a side mission to take care of Kula and her closer relatives to prevent them from ever rising against NESTS. Kula, in utter sadness and despair, could not manage to fight off both K9999 and Angel, and was thrusted into the ocean, where she was saved by K' (who had already managed to defeat Igniz and engaged the destruction of NESTS' main base, which crashed down into the ocean as well). Kula then finally made her peace with K', as well as gaining some new friends (more importantly, Whip).
After she was saved and NESTS fell, Diana took Kula into custody and hid her to avoid any possible legal action from the world governments due to her involvement with NESTS. In the K' Team ending of KOF 2003, she made a small cameo when Whip spoke to Diana on the phone, hinting on her possible comeback in The King of Fighters XI, which eventually did occur when she teamed up along with K' and Maxima.
Trivia - It is unknown how Kula could have possibly survived while she was atop the Zero Cannon in outer space (or the stratosphere). It could be possible that the Zero Cannon was closer to the atmosphere than to outer space, or that Kula could have used her ice powers to gain some sort of oxygen supply.
- The theory of the Zero Cannon being shot more than once occurred when several team ending in The King of Fighters 2000 featured more shots being fired even after Southtown was destroyed by the initial shot. In the Psycho Soldier Team ending, Bao absorbs the impact of a shot of the Zero Cannon using all his psychic power. In the Art of Fighting Team ending, Takuma deflects a shot by using a Haoh Shi Koh Ken that was about to impact King head-on. In the Kim Team ending, a subsecuent shot caused Chang Koehan and Choi Bounge's bodies to switch personalities. All of these endings were canon, furthermore proving that the theory of the Zero Cannon being shot more than once is indeed official.
- Kula's original hair color is actually a strawberry blonde. This is shown in her pre-fight cinemas in The King of Fighters 2000 and her in-game intros.
- When Kula dashes or performs some of her moves (normal and special), a pair of blades emanate from the bottom of her boots to resemble 'ice skates'.
- She's the only character in King of Fighters that has a shield in her guard animation. She also has a special blocking sound (which is that of cracking ice).
- Kula's affection for candy not only limits itself to the android Candy, but also real candy. She is often seen with lollipops in her mouth. For example, starting from King of Fighters 2002, whenever K' and Kula met in a match, she is always seen eating lollipop before Diana snatches it away so that she starts to fight.
- Kula is voiced by Yumi Kakazu.
- Kula's hobby as listed on the King of Fighters Maximum Impact 2 website is "finding replacement parts for Candy," suggesting that there is a chance Candy can be restored.
- Her story in The King of Fighters Maximum Impact 2 site says that she sees Maxima as something of a father figure, while K' although violent had certain "cute" traits.
