 For
those of you visiting with very little or no knowledge of Cammy, this is a little guide to
help you get started on your path to becoming a diehard Cammy fan like the rest of
us! Cammy's a very complicated character, and she's done so much, so I understand
that trying to jump in and learn about her can be quite intimidating. This short 5
minute lesson should prepare you for everything else you'll learn and experience on
CammyFan.com and beyond.

Cammy is a character owned by the Japanese video game maker Capcom. She first
appeared in the Street Fighter series in 1993, but has moved on to many other games,
comics, cartoons, novels, toys, and other things since then. Cammy quickly became
one of the most loved characters among fans because she really is something extra-special! |
| Cammy is known for being a great fighter whose trademark
moves include the Cannon Spike, Cannon Drill, Frankensteiner, Hooligan Roll, Spin Drive
Smasher, and Killer Bee Assault, but she's probably most famous for her beautiful long,
blonde pigtails. Another interesting characteristic of Cammy's, and one of her
biggest mysteries, is the big scar on her left cheek. Cammy's also known for
painting her legs with different designs (camouflage, etc.). But Cammy's not just
interesting on the outside, she's got a few different personalities, and an absolutely
amazing storyline that's 2nd to none! |

History: Shadowloo, Delta Red, and ARSF |
| There are actually 3 different
versions of Cammy, and that's one of the things that really confuses people.
Although the details are quite complex, the basic concepts aren't hard to
understand. I'll explain each of the 3 Cammys by giving you a simplified version of
her history... |
Shadowloo Cammy
This is Cammy from the Street Fighter Zero (aka Street Fighter Alpha) series, and
off-shoot games like X-Men vs Street Fighter, Capcom vs SNK, etc. She's only 16
years old, and very cute, but don't let her looks fool you... nicknamed the "Killer
Bee", she's the personal bodyguard, assassin, and spy of Vega (aka M. Bison), the
leader of the powerful crime syndicate and terrorist organization called
"Shadowloo". |

| As a young girl, Cammy was kidnapped by Shadowloo.
Aside from the fact that she's English, the details of her past and her abduction
are still shrouded in mystery. Shadowloo used her as a guinea pig in their super
soldier experiments, subjecting her to all sorts of tortures. However, it
worked! The mad scientists of Shadowloo modified her DNA, giving her super-human
strength, speed, healing, agility, etc. |

Once that was done, they brainwashed her, trained her, and
turned her into what they thought was perfect soldier. (note: this technique was
also used on 12 other kidnapped girls known as the "Shadowloo Dolls")
Vega was so impressed with Cammy's skill and loyalty that she earned a spot at his side as
his most trusted servant. |
| But one day her brainwashing began to fade, and Cammy
started to think for herself. Vega considered her to be too dangerous a weapon to
take any chances, so her ordered her killed. What actually happened to Cammy is
shrouded in mystery because there are a few conflicting reports. However, we do know
that she was not killed... |
|
Delta Red Cammy
Delta Red Cammy has only appeared in one game, Super Street Fighter 2, but her popularity
in that game turned her into a superstar. Although Delta Red Cammy was actually
created and introduced to fans first, her story begins shortly after Shadowloo Cammy's
story ended... |

|
| One day, Colonel Wolfman of MI6, found Cammy unconscious
on the steps of the English Secret Service's Training Center. He took her in, but it
was soon discovered that she was an amnesiac. Cammy never did remember how she got
there, but she did have excellent fighting instincts, so Colonel Wolfman arranged to have
begin training. After 3 years, at the age 19, Cammy earned a spot on Colonel
Wolfman's anti-terrorist assault team, Delta Red. |
| Delta Red Cammy isn't evil like Shadowloo
Cammy, but she is a mental wreck. She tries to be normal, but nagging doubts about
who she is often leave her in a foul mood. Delta Red Cammy is known to be extremely
moody. At times, she's just an irresponsible teenage girl who oversleeps, loves
cats, likes to shop, but at other times she's a top-notch secret service agent.
Although she's exceedingly confident in her fighting skills, she lacks confidence and
experience other areas. Nevertheless, Delta Red Cammy really values the opportunity
she's been given by Colonel Wolfman, so she gives it her all. |

Shortly after becoming a member of Delta Red, Cammy and
her teammates where assigned to take down Shadowloo. Throughout the mission, small
bits and pieces of Cammy's memory begin to reemerge, but all she really figures out is
that Vega, the leader of Shadowloo, set her up and tried to have her killed. Cammy
eventually catches Vega and demands an explanation, but he tells her that it was all an
accident. Moreover, he tells Cammy that they were once in love! Cammy's
stunned at this revelation, but doesn't quite believe that she could ever love an evil man
like Vega. At that moment, Cammy realizes that it doesn't matter who she was because
she's happy with who she is now. Cammy vowed to stop looking back for her past, and
concentrate on her future. She has a home, a job that she's good at, and great
friends... what else could she want? |
|
ARSF Cammy
ARSF Cammy comes from the game "Cannon Spike" (aka "Gunspike"
in Japan). Cammy's 21 years old in this game, and she leads the Anti-Robot
Special Forces (aka ARSF) against robotic terrorists. Exactly how she got to from
Delta Red to ARSF isn't really clear. I suspect that Cammy's still a member of the
English Secret Service, but that she's 'on loan' for this mission. |

|
| Anyhow, her hand-to-hand fighting skills can't do it alone
against robots, so ARSF Cammy wears rocket skates and carries 2 submachine guns, a pistol,
grenades, and a knife to help her take out all the robot bad guys. |
| Although it's a tough job, ARSF Cammy seems to be at peace
with herself. Now that her mind is cleared up, the sky is the limit for Cammy. |
| I wonder what'll happen in the next chapter of
Cammy's life? Will the mysteries of Cammy's past come back to haunt her? Will
she continue along her present path? There are SO many possibilities... it'll be
exciting to see!! |

| .Conclusion |
| Well, that's your intro to Cammy! I hope I've piqued
your interest. Although that was a lot of information, believe it or not, that was
actually an extremely short summary! Cammy's much more complicated than that. |
| That was the 'official' Cammy profile and storyline, but
there are a lot of comics, cartoons, novels, games, and other things in which details are
different. Those differences can make things interesting, but at the same time, it
adds to the confusion. By making this little Cammy lesson, I hoped to introduce
Cammy to new fans, and to clear up the confusion (without going into too many details)
current fans might have. |
| Anyhow... Congratulations! You're all done.
You've graduated Cammy 101, and now you're ready to check out the rest of CammyFan.com and
take some of the more advanced courses. Have fun! ^_^ |
