Contrary to what some people might say, Leona Heidern is NOT from Brazil. In all of her profiles her birthplace is listed as "unknown". Leona Heidern being Brazilian is nothing but a rumor with no basis on the series' canon.

The confusion might be caused because the Ikari stage in KOF '94 is set in Brazil. The reason why the stage is in Brazil is because the team were doing a mission over there at the time. Heidern's birthplace is also listed as unknown.

As for Ralf Jones and Clark Still? Those two are Gringos. EDIT: 'Gringo' is not a slur. It can be used in the context of a slur, but the word itself isn't a slur. Gringo can also be used in neutral manner, just like 'Yankee'.

This one is not a menber of the Ikari team but still belongs here. Another case of mistaken nationality (mostly among the Latin American fandom) is Foxy being.... Venezuelan? What? I can understand why people think that Leona Heidern is Brazilian (which she's not, as previously stated). But Foxy being Venezuelan? Who the fuck spread such a rumor?
