Mileena (MK1)

Mileena is a mutant hybrid clone of Kitana, created in Shang Tsung's flesh pits at the behest of Shao Kahn, who had become increasingly paranoid that Kitana would one day learn the truth and betray him. As a fusion of Tarkatan blood and Edenian physiology, Mileena combines and fully utilizes attributes of both races in combat, boasting incredible speed, brute strength, and nimble acrobatic prowess. Mileena is the older twin sister of Kitana & daughter of Empress Sindel & Emperor Jerrod. Mileena is loved greatly by her family and those close to them, including Li Mei, her mentor-in-kombat and, an Umgadi warrior named Tanya, who is also Mileena's lover. Though some Outworlders believed Kitana to be a better choice for the heir to the throne, due to Mileena's impulsiveness, Mileena was still regarded well by her people. After Jerrod's unjust murder, Li Mei would resign from the Umgadi in disgrace, as it was on her watch that the Emperor had been killed, leaving the bonds between her and the royal family shattered.
