Many of Malin's moves reference bugs, as she has Hornet, Yellowjacket, Mayfly, Scorpion, Spider and Queen Bee among her move names, which can be somewhat ironic as one of Malin's dislikes is bugs.
Although Malin makes her King of Fighters debut in The King of Fighters 2003, her first appearance in any SNK media is in Team Korea's backstory in The King of Fighters 2000, where she meets with Jhun Hoon.The King of Fighters '94 Re-Bout - background cameo in the Art of Fighting Team, Women Fighters Team and Korea Justice Team stages.The King of Fighters XIV - in the Women Fighters Team ending.Fight against your opponent and hit him with an amazing flying kick or try special attack like a energy blast to knock them down in this famous action-packed Chinese fighting game.

The majority of her weapons are knives and blades, though she also uses electric batons, yo-yo's (though they are also fitted with blades which may or may not be used) and a giant hammer.
Also, honor does not seem to matter to her during fights. Her fighting style utilizes use of various weapons and her excellent agility she even somewhat resembles a ninja.
