Kira (Mortal Kombat)

Kira is one of Kabal's new Black Draogn recruits and a villain from the Mortal Kombat series of fighting games.

History
Kira used to operate as a weapons dealer for terrorists in Afghanistan, but had to disguise herself as a men. However, during a transaction, her gender was revealed and she was forced to fight her way out. As Kira emerged the victor, she met up with Kabal, who had been waiting to see what happened. She was then recruited as part of his new Black Dragon Clan since she had a cold and calculating personality that the Black Dragon lacked. Kira devoted herself to her new organization and later assisted Kabal in freeing another recruit, Kobra. The trio then went to Outworld, where they assisted Havik, cleric of Chaos.

Later during the events of Armageddon, Kira and Kobra were assigned to guard a bridge in the Botan Jungle. They encountered Taven who needed to get across and Kobra fought him, while Kira went ahead to regroup with Kabal. In her ending, Kira defeated Blaze, gaining divine power, but Kobra was slain in the battle at the pyramid. She channeled her energy into him that slowly returned him to life, but as he gained conciousness, he reveled in the power surging through him. Thus Kobra refused to let Kira sever the connection and then killed her, stealing all of her power for himself. However he felt no remorse, since he felt that she was weak ad should have left him dead.

Abilities
Kira is a skilled fighter and wields a pair of knives called Dragon Teeth, which she is quite skilled with. She can perform the curled up cannonball attack like the one used by Kano and she could also use Sonya's kiss of death. Kira can also use a purple fireball attack.
