Poison is a video game character who debuted as a common enemy in the beat-em-up game Final Fight. She would later join the Street Fighter series in a non-playable capacity starting with Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact, eventually becoming playable in the cross-over game Street Fighter X Tekken and later joining the cast of Ultra Street Fighter IV. She also becomes playable in Street Fighter V. She is the friend and manager of Hugo and ex-member of the Mad Gear Gang.



Appearance
Poison has long pinkish-purple hair and wears a black peak cap with a chain-link design, a skimpy white midriff-revealing tank top, and a pair of skimpy denim "Daisy Dukes" cut-off shorts and high heels. She also has a chain around her waist, a studded black collar on her neck, and a pair of hand-cuffs hanging from the chain around her waist. Since Final Fight Revenge, she usually carries a riding crop that she uses as a weapon. This appearance later became as her "Nostalgia" costume in Street Fighter V.
There is also a palette-swap of Poison called Roxy. Roxy is identical to Poison, though she has reddish-orange hair instead of purple, and has lower health. Roxy was from the same orphanage that Poison grew up at, according to Capcom Classics Collection, which also mentions that she looks up to Poison.



In her concept art in Street Fighter V, Poison's outfit has minor changes, her skimpy tank top has been replaced with a bandage styled shirt which has covered in her top and has a single left long sleeve beneath it. She also has white elbow-band on her left elbow. Her cut-off denim shorts are now black, which also shows her the lines of her red thong beneath her shirt and has a gold band on her right thigh and her red high heels are maintained.


In her full appearance in Street Fighter V, Poison finally cuts her long hair into a shoulder-length coif bob in a style of disheveled spikes downward. Her primary appearance was updated as her peaked cap is now dark pink with a gray skull design at the center. She retains her skimpy white midriff-revealing tank top, and a pair of skimpy denim "Daisy Dukes" cut-off shorts from her primary outfit as her denim shorts now had pink rips at the edge and right black straps which is connected to her shorts and a black side belt that nearly resembles a black thong. She now has a single black long finger-less gloves on her right and a single black stocking on her left and her high heels are now dark pink. She now wields a long black whip instead of a riding crop.



Her story costume has her wearing a white sleeveless cocktail dress which shows a full amount of cleavage and was fastened with a black belt on her waist and black panties underneath it. The edge of her dress skirt reaches through her left knee and wears white high pumps. She retains her long hair from her previous appearance to show her fringes in each sides and was tied in a high ponytail and wears a pale gold heart-shaped sunglasses.
Her second alternate costume which is her battle costume is a gray and white stripped corporate dress which is similar to her story costume but with a single sleeve on the right.
Her summer costume is a skimpy version of the female police uniform that bears a minor resemblance to the police uniform worn by Kelly in the sequel of Square's Bust-A-Move.


Concept
Poison was named after the late '80s glam-metal band Poison, known for their effeminate dress sense and use of make up, by an unnamed female employee at Capcom. She was designed by Akira Yasuda to contrast against the bigger characters in the game and move about randomly.
