Tracy is a character in the second and third installments of the Battle Arena Toshinden video game series. She is an American policewoman, who is often teamed up with a Japanese police detective named Nagisa Iwashiro, who is only present in Battle Arena Toshinden 3.
Story[]
Tracy is a police officer for the NYPD, who is both renowned and notorious for her methods of troubleshooting, being to provoke offenders into losing their cool and into dangerous frenzies, which he responds in turn with full force and unrestrained self defense. Though some have human rights complaints about her method of dealing with criminals, she argues that "they sort themselves out" and deems it fair due to the kinds of people she has to deal with if they think strongarming it is their only way in life.
Hearing and learning about the death of both a woman and a young boy in a past car crash via a cold case file, Tracy had entered into the second Toshindaibukai to investigate the activities of the Himitsu Kessha, as the woman's husband, a man named Gaia, had been working for the organization at the time. Tracy, being a skilled fighter, was narrowly defeated by a Japanese swordsman named Eiji Shinjo, but she eventually found the answers she needed: the now-dead Uranus was the one responsible for the deaths of Gaia's wife and son. Tracy had returned to New York and reported to her superiors about the case, being personally satisfied in having to complete it from within her own given time and accord.
After the announcement of the third Toshindaibukai, Tracy had entered once again (not because of the thrill, but rather because of a new investigation and upon learning that she was targeted by the Soshiki to being a blood sacrifice for Agon Teos). At first she just couldn't get along with her new boss and partner Nagisa Iwashiro - everything he did grated on her nerves. But as they fought side by side against Abel and his cohorts, Tracy's feelings changed as she noticed Nagisa's strong sense of justice. Finally, he won her whole-hearted respect.
Eventually Tracy was confronted by a Soshiki assassin named Rachael, who was Tracy's older twin sister. Abandoned by her parents and left to fend for herself in a cruel and harsh world, Rachael had cursed her fate and learned to hate Tracy, but Tracy had still defeated her from within their emotional battle against each other. In the end, Tracy had pleaded for Rachael to forget about the past and start all over with her, but Rachael had refused the request and left, never to be seen again.
As she left to return to New York, Tracy couldn't help teasing her serious superior a little; "Hey, Nagisa! You should quit worrying about your girly first name, you know. Haven't you heard - sensitive new age guys are all the rage now!"

Development[]
According to development notes, one design focus for new characters for Toshinden 2 was set on an "urban American" or "radical street smart" character; this ranged from a long haired skate hockey punk to someone wielding switchblade ejecting boots and used kicking attacks. Tracy was born out of wanting a new playable female character and to meet the demand of a "modern radical girl mascot" for the Toshinden series; early concept art featured her with more relaxed clothing, including a conventional sweater jacket with more modest jean shorts and sneakers, along with impact protective gear. Later concept art featured her with her more "radical" finalized commando like on duty informal wear, and some official art came to include the idea of the aforementioned switchblade boots, including the full render of Tracy's CGI model for the Toshinden 2 opening and her full body Kotobuki Tsukasa art; this would likely be gradually removed due to her profession and the consistency of the need for non lethal self defense weaponry.
