Answer is
Chipp Zanuff's dutiful secretary and is a ninja dressed in a business suit. He can throw business cards and teleport to their location or make shadow clones attack from their location. He can also set scrolls in the air and use various moves when hanging from them.
Baiken rejoins the cast. She is a ronin with one eye, one arm, and a grudge against That Man for creating the Gears that maimed her and killed her family. Baiken has the unique ability to cancel her guard into attacks for free, forcing opponents to attack her in more unconventional ways.
