Luise Meyrink, a German-born member of the near-extinct Zoan—an ageless alien race—bears the forgotten name Lakia, invoked by her nemesis Jivatma, who once hunted her kind. Driven by her father Detlev Meyrink’s abduction by the Addes syndicate, she enters the King of Fighters tournament not for vengeance but to halt Jivatma’s cycle of devastation and uncover her father’s whereabouts.

Her combat prowess merges teleportation, energy projection, and levitation with the creation of luminous weapons like beam swords. A species-specific sixth sense alerts her to danger, while her Schmetterling fighting style mimics a butterfly’s elegance, combining aerial agility, energy control, and rapid dashes.

As a mediator between the Meira brothers, Alba and Soiree, she reveals fragments of their shared history with the entity Judeim but withholds deeper truths. Post-tournament, she allies with Alba to track Jivatma and Soiree, choosing Earth as her temporary home until humanity evolves to accept extraterrestrial life. Her journey intertwines with Southtown’s explosive aftermath, where her enigmatic reappearance signals lingering dangers tied to Judeim.

Adorned in Morpho butterfly-inspired attire, she speaks ten languages, savors Viennese coffee and classical melodies, and shuns spiders and modern technology. An antique music box anchors her sentimental side, while stargazing and dance serve as private passions.

Spin-off appearances include a non-playable role in *Days of Memories* and a cryptic anime cameo hinting at future conflicts. Her immortality positions her as a perpetual witness, biding time across centuries for humanity’s readiness to embrace cosmic truths.
