Xiayu (ジウユー) is a member of The Dolls who was kidnapped and brainwashed by Shadaloo to be trained as an assassin working for M. Bison. Her name is derived from the Chinese word for September, Jiǔ yuè (九月).

Biography
Originally from China, Xiayu specializes in using nunchaku. She might be related to Jianyu.

Appearance
She has short black hair and dark brown eyes. In Street Fighter V, she seems to have gotten either a mask or some kind of facepaint. Her hair now seems to be stylized in a different way, more pointy than before. She is seen wearing some sort of dress or tunic.

Story
Xiayu has never been playable in any of the Street Fighter games, so little is known about her own backstory. So far she has been seen briefly at the end of the Street Fighter Alpha 3 sub-boss scene along with the other dolls. In Street Fighter V she seems to appear in some characters' story mode, but little is known so far about her role.

In the UDON Comics, she was sent from Shadaloo to run the Triad compoud along with Jianyu, where illegal tournaments would occur with fighters from all over the world, without them knowing they were financing the black market trade and organized crime. Fei Long got caught up in their schemes and turned down a criminal movie offer, and eventually he would join Gen and Chun Li to take down the Triad by fighting off a legion of thugs and criminals. Xiayu and Jianyu would flee the scene.

Trivia
Xiayu is the only Street Fighter character who's name begins with an X.
