Introduced in SSX

Mac Fraser

Moby Jones

  • Berserk Button: Intentional thuggery in a competition does NOT sit well with Kaori.
  • The Cutie
  • Dye Hard: She has a pink streak in her hair in SSX 2012.
  • Genki Girl: So much so that she was one of the few characters who wasn't Flanderized for Tricky; she didn't have to be.
  • Gratuitous English: Largely averted; she only speaks English in the character selection screen.
    • Either played straight or zig-zagged in On Tour, depending on whether her voice actress in that game is really Japanese or someone faking an accent.

  • Fetish Fuel Station Attendant: Ace snowboard, surf and motorcross champion? She grinds a mid air helicopter in her first trick event, check. Action Girl? She enjoys SAS survival training, check. Hot Amazon? She could play Shepard, and not only would she do it but closely match her awesomeness, check.
  • Going Commando: One question during an interview is whether she prefers boxers or briefs. Her reply and love for special forces makes it easy to guess.
  • The Hero: In SSX 2012, she leads the team in their quest to go down all nine Deadly Descents.
  • Hot Amazon
  • Jack of All Stats: And she's close friends with Moby, the other character of this franchise with average stats.
