Pardon me if this messy. I'm on my phone. I couldn't find a thread.
SNK apparently held a character design contest and they picked the design from a woman in Saudi Arabia.
Short video of KOF Producer talking about the character
It didn't mention where this design will be used. I assume it's for KOF XV.
Edit: More info

Najd ( Character Name )
Although we live in the 21 century with all advancements in our world , but the Stories of the Genies are still haunting us
We see our 21 Years Old University girl got a Special Training since her Childhood along with another girls Same as her age in order to get the "Halek" Abaya , Halek is a Stubborn Genie that isn't easy to control and Najd was the Most deserving one to wear "Halek" Abaya
Najd is Calm most of times as controling Halek requires a lot of concentration and If she lost control of it then it will harm her and her surrounding
She is a Student at Morning and a Justice Guardian at night due to her Night Stealth abilities
There were other awards by the way. The only one with a previously announced monetary prize is best stage:
The wall in the foreground is supposedly Almasmak, Riyadh's old fort. The background is Riyadh's skyline.
Best weapon:
Sofooq. The body text is too small for me to read. The weapon is a shimagh (headdress), it is used as in impromptu weapon IRL but without the dagger. Side note: the number one comment Tekken's Harada got from Saudi fans on Shaheen was to give him an iqal (black circular crown thingy) based rage art (a more effective impromptu weapon IRL).
Best creative design:
Gaara.Bankam. Controls sand and makes his weapons out of it, wears goggles to avoid sand. Can also stop time for his super attack.
Albaz. Beloved professional wrestler who is popular with kids. Used to make falcon hoods for a living but was blinded in an accident.
Best fighting move:
Khaleel, the black oil magician. Injects petroleum through his nails and lights it up with sparks from his ring. Was a petroleum engineer but became an apathetic pyromaniac after watching his dad and his friends burn in an great fire accident.
Comedic character award:
...he has a palm tree on his head.
Audience choice awards:
Sultan. Something something modern take on traditional clothes. Something something street fighting and martial arts plus a dagger for super attacks. Something something lawyer in his dad's firm people are murdered.
