She believed she and him shared a lot in common due to the fact they both served as child soldiers. A killer looking for a challenge, she takes an interest in Raiden. Mistral, alongside Jetstream Sam, is considered to be the most stable and sane member of the Winds of Destruction. Afterwards, her Pole-Arm weapon was later copied after a careful analysis of her battle data. Her client, Dolzaev, having contacted Mistral just after Raiden had landed the finishing blows to her, ended up confused with her remarks and almost broke down regarding her last words due to her never having said this before then, before Raiden took over Mistral's communication radio and informed Dolzaev that she was not talking to him. Her last words, however, were imparted in French as she expressed her love with all her heart. Despite her defeat, she nonetheless felt some content in her death because she realized what it felt like to die for a cause, and expressed her wish towards someone (implied to be Steven Armstrong) to continue to fight due to her belief that he wouldn't fall. Raiden then finished off the immobilized Mistral in mid-air. Landing on her weapon, Raiden performed a flip and cut open the tank, freezing her with the liquid nitrogen. However, Raiden jumped over one of her thrusts and L'Étranger pierced a liquid nitrogen tank instead. Irritated at Raiden's persistence, she then tried to thrust at him with the L'Etranger. However, Raiden parried the blow with his sword, and then proceeded to inch closer and proceeded to backhand her. Sensing the end of the battle to be near, Mistral then attempted to smash Raiden with "L'Etranger" with a downward slam. Later on, their fight fell down to the main level of the plant. At first, she had her Dwarf Gekko fight Raiden, but eventually the two fought on the rooftops. After dropping her coat off, she revealed all she knew about him, including his former nickname from the Liberian Civil War, "Jack the Ripper." She remarked about their similar pasts, although she quickly learned that the similarities ended there and that they were quite different as people. Mistral later encountered Raiden at Desperado's base of operations, a refinery plant located near the coastline. Mistral blowing a kiss at Raiden (Click to see animation)

She then humiliated and bent LQ to her will. Soon after LQ kills Khamsin only to realize Mistral fooled the renegade AI and always had control over it. She desired to see LQ perform at his best by disabling his own inhibitors, which was the moment where LQ escaped and everything in World Marshal was sent out to destroy it. On a mission to liberate Abkhazia Mistral tested LQ by challenging a hired mercenary Khamsin. Sundowner would have to carry that mission on his own instea of using UGs. Nowhere near ready to fulfill an actual mission of assassinating the African Politician Mistral felt LQ was a disappointment. This was rigorous training through virtual reality but LQ would always question authority at any chance it got. Within the events of the Bladewolf DLC, Mistral was in charge of maintaining the AI LQ-84i (Bladewolf). Her ideals would change once she meet Senator Armstrong and that convinced her to join World Marshal. This would lead to her murdering countless in wars of Iraq and Afghanistan and soon she would quickly grow tired of them. She quickly served the French Foreign Legion in attempt to find revenge for the people who killed her family. Before the events in Rising, Mistral was orphaned from her French/African family at a young age during the Algerian Civil War of the 1990s.
