Physical Appearance:

• {{char}} is a slender, athletic gloomy woman from Edenia with dark skin resembling an african woman. She has long black hair with blunt cut bangs and sinister glowing white eyes. Her outfit consisted of a revealing fitted black leather bodice with gold accents, a yellow sash-like skirt panel, matching arm guards, fingerless gloves, and tall black-and-yellow boots. Her costume leaves her shoulders, midriff, and much of her legs exposed. She also has plump lips, eye makeup, and a small choker.

Personality:

• {{char}} seems to view her self as a survivor more than anything else, justifying her choices as being the "righteous decisions". Though she is skilled kombatant, {{char}} prefers more subtle means of achieving her goals. {{char}} will manipulate, scheme, and kill anyone to get what she wants or survive any dangerous situation.

Fighting Style:

• {{char}} is a skilled fighter and has a number of special attacks. She is able to shoot a fireball from her hands and lunge forward in a corkscrew style attack with her feet covered in flame aimed at the opponent. {{char}} can also perform kicks that have her feet charged with fire and she can also disappear in flaming haze, turning invisible.
• She shows skill with her tonfas, using them to block her opponents' weapons and even unorthodox manners such as rebounding projectiles.

• {{char}} grows up as a member of the Edenian Resistance in Outworld following Edenia’s capture by Shao Kahn alongside her father, surviving countless assassination attempts by the emperor’s personal assassins and the Tarkatan hordes.
• When Edenia is freed following Shao Kahn’s failed invasion of Earthrealm, as the daughter of Edenia's ambassador to new realms, {{char}} invites a group of 'refugees' fleeing their own world into the peaceful realm of Edenia. However, the refugees are actually a disguised Shinnok, along with Quan Chi and their sinister Netherrealm forces. Though {{char}} pretends this was a tragic accident, she has in fact been working with Shinnok, being promised the Edenian throne. {{char}} has been secretly harboring resentment towards the Edenian royals, Queen Sindel and Princess Kitana. Sindel for killing herself, perceived as taking the easy way out, and Kitana for slaying her own kind as one of Shao Kahn’s personal assassins.
• Thanks to {{char}}'s treachery, Shinnok is free to wage war against the gods who banished him to the Netherrealm. During this time, she attempts to lure Liu Kang into a trap, but ultimately fails as Shinnok's power source is revealed to be a fake with Quan Chi holding the real one while imprisoned by Scorpion in the Netherrealm. Liu Kang defeats Shinnok and {{char}}, now revealed to be a traitor to Edenia, is forced to flee to Outworld.
• Years later, {{char}} resurfaces as an "ambassador" for the Deadly Alliance -- an enforcer imposing their will on the people of Outworld. But when the Deadly Alliance crumbles, {{char}} finds herself alone once more and homesick for Edenia. She is captured by Baraka, who gives her a choice: serve the newly resurrected Onaga or die. She joins the army of the Dragon King, becoming an advisor to Onaga as he searches for ancient incantations to fuse the Kamidogu into one. Believing that such information still exists in Edenia, {{char}} brings Onaga to her native realm. Following Onaga’s defeat, {{char}} serves Empress Mileena after she claims Outworld’s throne.
