Lore & Background
Cammy was introduced in the fourth Street Fighter II revision, Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers, as one of four new characters. In this game, Cammy is a teen-aged agent of the fictional Delta Red commando task force within Britain's Secret Intelligence Service (MI6). In the Japanese version of her ending, she is revealed to have been an agent working for the villain M. Bison in the past, but lost her memories during a past operation. The American version instead reported her as a previous lover of M. Bison's, but still having challenges related to amnesia. A younger version of Cammy appears as an assassin working for Bison's Shadaloo organization, with the codename "Killer Bee" (and in later games described as one of the "Shadaloo Dolls"), first in Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold, where she appears as a hidden character, and then in Street Fighter Alpha 3, where she is a full-fledged playable character. In Alpha 3, Cammy is revealed to be a clone created from M. Bison's DNA. Cammy is again featured in Street Fighter IV. Set after the events of Street Fighter II (but before Street Fighter III), it depicts Cammy as having come to terms with her past as a brainwashed super soldier from Shadaloo and is now embarking a new mission with her Delta Red comrades. In her ending in this game, she destroys the BLECE data, believing the project to be what Bison had used to brainwash her in the first place. In the update Super Street Fighter IV, Cammy still remembers her time as a "doll" and affectionately refers to the "Dolls" as her sisters, vowing to rescue them from Shadaloo. Her penultimate, "rival" fight is against newcomer Juri, on whom Cammy swears revenge for her ill actions towards the "dolls", only for Juri to counter the accusation by bringing up Cammy's dark past. In her new ending, Cammy consoles a recovering former "doll" (Juni from Street Fighter Alpha 3); this new ending establishes the fact that she is recovering her memories, or at least trying to atone for the things she did in the past. In Ultra Street Fighter IV, Decapre, an early result of the Shadaloo cloning experiments that created Cammy, appears as a playable character. Cammy returned in Street Fighter V, where Cammy is able to rescue Decapre, who then join her after being freed from the brainwashing, and the other remaining Dolls during a final war against Shadaloo. However, as confirmed in Street Fighter 6, where Cammy returns to investigate the connection between Amnesia's first attack at Nayshall and the remnants of Shadaloo's whereabouts, the death of her fellow former "doll", Marz saddens her and the other surviving "dolls".
In Their Own Story
Rain slicked the rooftop tiles as Cammy adjusted her beret, the neon glow of the city reflecting off the puddles below. She could still feel the phantom weight of Bison's command echoing in her mind, a ghost from a past she refused to let die. Tonight was not about orders or missions; it was about clarity.
Reader's Guide
Cammy White is a fighter with a small frame and a slender, yet muscular body. She has long blonde hair which she usually wears in two braided pigtails, blue eyes and a scar on her left cheek. In Super Street Fighter II, she is shown wearing a green sleeveless thong leotard, a military red beret, red gauntlets with armguards and black combat boots, with natural-colored pantyhose decorated with green camouflage stains. This iconic incarnation is known as Delta Red Cammy and appears in the Street Fighter II series of games. A different look was introduced in X-Men vs. Street Fighter, where her style and moves are similar to those of both Spider-Man and Psylocke. This time, Cammy was depicted wearing a light blue, long sleeve thong leotard, a matching garrison cap, brown leather boots, and a small yellow necktie. The red gauntlets were kept, with the addition of an elbow pad on the right side. The camouflage of her legs was replaced with blue stains in the shape of lightning bolts. This incarnation is known as Shadaloo Cammy or "Killer Bee" and appears in the Street Fighter Alpha, Marvel vs. Capcom and Capcom vs. SNK series of games. Shadaloo Cammy is approximately 16 years old. In Street Fighter IV, in addition to the Delta Red attire, her default, Cammy has an alternate appearance which is reminiscent of the Shadaloo version. In Street Fighter V, Cammy has various different alternate outfits, from a combat swimsuit to a schoolgirl uniform, along with another catgirl outfit. One of her poses in that game was adjusted due to changing cultural attitudes. In Street Fighter 6, in addition to being older, Cammy now has an entirely new outfit, consisting of a bob haircut with her classic front hair bangs, a turquoise blue leather jacket with belt straps and a union jack, a black crop top with white trim, black leggings with a white linear design, red combat boots with black socks, and her classic arm gauntlets with slight modifications to them. Cammy has a strong personality. She has a tough attitude, where one wrong word to her could mean a snapped neck, and is fearless in battle. She refuses to go down without a fight, using her extensive skills and abilities to her advantage. She is a driven and determined young woman; with a strong sense to help others in need. She wants to see herself as a protector of others as noted in her Street Fighter V story where she is seen taking care of Juni and looking out for her as she recovers from being a brainwashed Doll. Cammy is gentle, respectful, and kindhearted, but she can also be very irritable and dismissive, and can be very harsh on herself when she makes mistakes. One of Cammy's most notable characteristics is her love for cats.
