Kasumi A

Kasumi A is a villain from the Dead or Alive video games series. She debuted in Dead or Alive 2.

Birth
Kasumi A was born after the original Kasumi won the first Dead or Alive tournament. When Kasumi was victorious, DOATEC (Dead or Alive Tournament Committee) abducted her. She was subjected to a cloning project which was intended to create a human weapon. Kasumi's DNA was copied and it was used to create a clone named Kasumi A. The clone was an exact match of the original Kasumi.

First Mission
Before the second tournament, DOATEC instructed Kasumi A to sneak into the Mugen Tenshu Village. Her assignment was to capture her brother, Hayate, who was in a coma from a fight. She managed to find her brother but was caught by her half-sister, Ayanne. They fought each other without any hesitation. Ayanne was defeated and Kasumi A left with her brother's body.

Meeting Kasumi
Ryu Hayabusa rescued Kasumi from the science lab. During Kasumi's rescue, she encountered her clone for the very first time. Kasumi A claimed that they were sisters and Hayate was hers because she would take care of him. Angered, Kasumi defeated Kasumi α in combat. The clone escaped the burning building. The original Kasumi and Ryu also escaped.

Transformation
After the third tournament, Donovan modified the genes of Kasumi A. She was transformed into a more powerful being entitled Alpha-152. He transported her to the DOATEC headquarters during the fourth tournament. The place was attacked by the Mugen Tenshin Ninja Clan at the same time. The clone somehow escaped in the midst of the chaos.

Final Phase
Donovan hid Alpha in a secret laboratory on an oil rig. Kasumi, Ayane, Hayate, and Hayabusa were invited to the rig by Helena Douglas who was the new president of DOATEC. They discovered there were additional Alpha clones. The clones were a part of phase 4 which would distribute them to every major military. The shinobi located the lab where many copies were displayed. Phase 4 was going to start.

Demise
Alpha shifted its physical form to look like Hayabusa. It then attacked Ayane and Hayate but they weren't fooled by it's new appearance. While Alpha was busy, the real Hayabusa used a ninpo spell to destroy the lab. The lab crumbled but Alpha decided to engage in a final fight with Kasumi. The clone lost and died. The shinobi escaped and Phase 4 was cancelled.

Personality
Kasumi A possesses the opposite personality of her counterpart. She isn't compassionate or friendly unlike the original Kasumi. Instead, she may display a malicious grin or amusing laugh whenever she is about to harm someone. Although Kasumi is unfriendly, she can also be childish by acting like she has too much power. The only people who she respects are Donovan and Hayate. She views Donovan as a father figure and Hayate as her brother.
