Kira

"I was the first of Kabal's new recruits. I had stolen away to the mountains of Afghanistan, selling weapons to terrorists... disguised as a man. When they discovered my gender, I had to fight my way out of the cave. I suppose Kabal assumed that any woman who could do business with cutthroat extremist organisations and live to talk about it must be worthy of the new Black Dragon Clan. When I alone emerged from the cave, Kabal stood before me with an offer to join him. The complacency of the original Black Dragon allowed for their destruction. Kabal claims that a new Black Dragon clan will rise from the ashes... more ruthless, more calculating than before. We will not exist as a mere band of pirates. We will cause the downfall of civilisation itself and live in a world of blessed anarchy."

- Kira tells us some of her backstory

Kira was one of Kabal's new Black Dragon Clan recruits and a villainess from the Mortal Kombat series of fighting games. She also has a romantic interest in her partner Kobra, but was willing to kill him or let him die because her loyalty as a Black Dragon came first.

Biography
Kira used to operate as a weapons dealer for terrorists in Afghanistan, but had to disguise herself as a man. However, during a transaction, her gender was revealed and she was forced to fight her way out of the cave. As Kira emerged the victor, she met up with Kabal, who had been waiting to see what would 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 before lacked. Kira devoted herself to her new organisation and later assisted Kabal in freeing another recruit, Kobra. The trio then went to Outworld, where they assisted Havik, a Cleric of Chaos, against the Dragon King, Onaga.

Later during of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon: Konquest mode, Kira and Kobra were assigned to guard a bridge in the Botan Jungle in China. They encountered Steven who needed to get across but Kobra fought him, while Kira went ahead to regroup with Kabal.

In her non-canon ending, Kira defeated Blaze, gaining divine power, but Kobra was slain in the battle at the pyramid. She channelled her energy into him, which slowly returned him to life, but as he gained consciousness, he revelled in the power surging through him. Thus Kobra refused to let Kira sever the connection and killed her, stealing all of her power for himself. However he felt no remorse, since he felt that she was weak and should have left him dead. That is the Black Dragon way.

In Kobra's ending, he defeats Blaze and assumes the power of the gods. He further demands that the Elder Gods give him control over all the planets. They do so, but insist that he must have a queen to rule alongside him, as every king needs one. Kobra chooses Kira as his queen, and the Gods transform her into a goddess of death. When Kira kisses Kobra, he is turned into a pile of ashes, may all who make demands of the Elders Gods beware!

Quotes

 * "Kobra! I just got the signal from Kabal. The ambush has begun!"
 * "Chaos warps and confuses the mind. The time I have spent here has caused me to forget who I am. Somewhere among the temple ruins lies a scroll which may contain the answers to my identity."
 * "You have returned with the scroll! Yes! It has revealed to me my name!; I am Kira! As payment for your help, take these... uh... I don't remember what they are. Take them anyway *proceeds to give Shujinko some ruby coins*"

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

Journal Entry
Kira is the first member of the new Black Dragon. Kabal saw in her a calculated ruthlessness that the clan had previously been lacking. Kira will help the clan bring the world to its knees, but first, she must travel to Outworld to test her might against the allies of the Dragon King.
