Mondo shtuff from around the internet, all about KITANA!
This week I’m doing Mortal Kombat Cosplay Week (not going with “kosplay” because that’s lame and would ruin this in the eyes of the almight god known as SEO), and to start it off I’m going with Jade and Kitana and Mileena, because they’re all…
Through the years, she first portrays the character of a loyal step daughter of Shao Kahn; then his enemy, freeing herself away from his grasp and freeing her home realm of Edenia. Later she leads an army into Outworld to combat any chance of Shao Kahn rising to power again.
Her character is driven by a search for justice, redemption, and peace. Later in the game she falls in love with Earthrealm champion Liu Kang until he was murdered by the Deadly Alliance.
