Kitana

Kitana is daughter of King Jerrod and Empress Sindel and the younger twin sister of Mileena, who is heir to the throne of Outworld. Compared to her rebellious and tomboyish sister, Kitana is much more straight-laced and feminine, and takes her duty and image as princess far more seriously. It is for these reasons that Kitana is favored by some Outworlders as the better heir to the throne, something that drives a wedge between the sisters.

Despite what people may think, Kitana has no interest in the throne and, in fact, is staunchly loyal to her sister. Kitana often admonishes her twin when she does something which threatens her rule (such as having a tryst with an Umgadi), only for Mileena to ignore and resent her for it. Kitana is also one of the few who are aware of her sister's affliction with Tarkat disease, only adding to the number of worries she has and the things that drive away her sister.

At the start of the current Mortal Kombat tournament, Kitana, her sister and Tanya of the Umgadi greet the Earthrealmers upon their arrival to Outworld. The two of them take their place at Empress Sindel's side and host the proceedings. At the evening banquet, Kitana converses and is flirted with by Johnny Cage, but shows concern when her sister feels unwell. She later takes her mother's side and agrees to replace Mileena in the tournament, which upsets Mileena greatly. She is later defeated by Raiden, Earthrealm's champion, and the two compliment each other's fighting skills.

The next day, Kitana accompanies her sister to Shang Tsung's laboratory to test a new serum to treat the symptoms of Tarkat, but waits outside alongside General Shao and Goro while Tanya and Rain oversee the treatment. Hearing a battle inside, Kitana bursts into the laboratory just in time to find her sister injured and unconscious, and Shang Tsung claiming that the three Earthrealmers sought to expose her disease to discredit her rule. When Quan Chi appears and verify that these events "confirm" his prophecy, Kitana agrees to reveal this incident to the Empress and prepare Outworld for war with Earthrealm.

Later, she and her sister are present in the throne room when Liu Kang and Li Mei entreat with them, but attacks them alongside Tanya. Both her and Tanya were defeated once again. When Mileena's disease manifests again, she nearly killed their mother, Li Mei saves the Empress and defeats Mileena until she can be injected with another dose of the serum.
