Cammy White, also known by the codename Killer Bee, is a major character in the Street Fighter franchise. She first appeared in the fighting game Super Street Fighter II, which was released in 1993, as one of the "New Challengers", out of the four new characters introduced in that title. She was once a deadly assassin working for Shadaloo before breaking free and becoming an MI6 operative for the British government.
She is the second female character in the Street Fighter series, following Chun-Li. Out of the four New Challengers, Cammy is by far the most prominent, having many more game appearances than the others, as well as more appearances in games and other media than many of the original "world warriors." Along with Chun-Li, Cammy's considered one of the Femme Fatales of the Street Fighter universe, her popularity quickly making her one of the most famous characters, because of her attractive and slender figure along with her strong personality and fighting skills.
She is voiced in Japanese by Akiko Kōmoto in Street Fighter Alpha 3 and Namco x Capcom, Miki Nagasawa in Capcom vs. SNK 2, Yōko Sasaki in Street Fighter II V and Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie, Kotono Mitsuishi in the Street Fighter II drama CD, who also voices Sailor Moon and Hummy, Maya Okamoto in the Japanese dub of the Street Fighter film, and Miyuki Sawashiro as of Street Fighter IV.
In English, she is voiced by Lisa Ann Beley in the cartoon, Debra Jean Rogers in Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie, and Street Fighter II V Animaze, Susan Hart in X-Men vs. Street Fighter, Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold, Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes, and Capcom vs. SNK, Carol Matthews and Shawn Taylor in Street Fighter II V ADV #1 and #2, respectively, Alexis Martino in the motion comics, and her current voice is Caitlin Glass as of Street Fighter IV, who also voiced Haruhi Fujioka, Petra Rall, and Winry Rockbell.
In the 1994 live-action Street Fighter film, she was portrayed by Australian pop singer Kylie Minogue.
Overview
Cammy is a teenaged agent of the Delta Red commando task force, operating within Britain's Secret Intelligence Service (MI6). Enhanced by Bison's genome, she once worked as an assassin for Shadaloo under the codename of "Killer Bee" (as seen in X-Men vs. Street Fighter and Street Fighter Alpha 3). At the end of Alpha 3, she rebelled against Bison, lost her memories, and was taken to Britain (by Vega); it was there that she joined the special forces unit known as Delta Red. Cammy participated in the Super Street Fighter II tournament to learn about her past; she learned the shocking truth from Bison himself, but managed to cope with the revelation thanks to the support of her Delta Red comrades.
In Street Fighter IV, she is sent to investigate S.I.N.'s connection to Shadaloo and to acquire data on the BLECE Project. She's also there for a personal reason: Juri Han, a member of S.I.N, gave a brutal beatdown to the Shadaloo Dolls, whom she considers her younger sisters.
Cammy returns in Street Fighter V still in her Delta Red incarnation but sporting an updated look, reminiscent of her appearance in the spin-off Cannon Spike. During the interim between IV and V, she has continued investigating Shadaloo while also tending to her fellow Doll Juni, who is now amnesic and getting accustomed once more to a normal life.
Returning in 6, Cammy is finally free of her pursuit against Bison, the dictator having been killed in the previous game. Still working with Delta Red and now based at HQ, she spends her time pursuing missions in her home country of England, sporting a new attire that lets her blend in as a civilian.
Personality
When in battle, Cammy shows complete focus and determination and often times speaks in a direct and confrontational manner. Outside of battle, however, she speaks very gently and with a great deal of compassion, especially when caring for former members of The Dolls, whom she refers to as her "sisters". Cammy feels a deep affinity towards cats and is often depicted feeding and caring for cats, perhaps because she's something of a stray cat herself. Cammy is also burdened by a deep feeling of guilt over having been an assassin for Shadaloo, but she has learned to overcome her feelings of guilt by looking towards the future.
Due to her connection with the Dolls, she is unwilling to hurt them (especially Decapre) and breaks ties with her friends in order to protect Bison's assassins, as Cammy attacked police officers and abandoned Chun-Li by fleeing with Juri and Decapre on a motorcycle when the latter two were being detained by the authorities, though Cammy quickly returned to Kanzuki Estate (home base) when Decapre was brought back to her senses.
Cammy also has a strong sense of military discipline and stern honor, to the point where even the more powerful fighters in the series ask her to "ease up" when they meet her, as she is a very driven person. It's because of this front-line soldier mindset that she has much respect for other soldiers like Guile and Charlie. Her hatred for Bison drives her though much of her appearances. However, at the end of Street Fighter V, Cammy mellows out, no longer pursuing vengeance against Shadaloo and mainly focused on the survival of her "sisters", the Dolls.
Abilities
Cammy is a genetically modified clone of M. Bison and as such, has accelerated levels of agility, strength, dexterity, and endurance. She is capable of performing super-human acrobatic feats, as displayed in her signature special attacks, the Cannon Spike, the Spiral Arrow, and the Hooligan Combination. She also received Special Forces training and training in Shadaloo assassination techniques. Her body also contains trace amounts of Psycho Power that she inherited from M. Bison. Due to her skills, Cammy became a top member of Delta Red, a special operation division of the British Secret Intelligence Service.
Physical Appearance
Cammy has light-blue eyes and long blonde hair that she styles into two braided pigtails, a large forelock, and a scar on her left cheek. She has a muscular body with a very fit physique and is of slightly below average height; Cammy's choice of clothing attire is a leotard as it gives her higher speed, mobility, and flexibility.
In Super Street Fighter II and Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Cammy wears her signature outfit: a turtleneck, sleeveless, green thong leotard that consists of a Delta Red triangle insignia on either the right or left breast (some promo art has it on the right while other instances, including her endings in SSFII, have it on the left), a red beret, red socks and black calf-high combat boots, and red gauntlets. Her legs were decorated with marks of green camouflage paint. This classic incarnation is known as "Delta Red Cammy." One of the earlier drafts of Cammy's character design has her wearing harnesses and a gun holster, details which were eventually incorporated into her Street Fighter V default design.
Trivia
- In her original profile, her favorite dessert is cake; in later games, she says she likes apple pie.
