Mileena
Mileena is a player and one-time boss character from the Mortal Kombat series of fighting video games.
Since her introduction as Kitana's palette swap for Mortal Kombat II in 1993, Mileena gained significant popularity and became one of the series' most iconic characters.
In the games, Mileena was originally known as a dual sai-wielding assassin in service of the dark emperor of Outworld, Shao Kahn, and an evil twin sister of his stepdaughter, Princess Kitana.
However, she was soon revealed to be just a monstrously deformed and mentally unbalanced clone of Kitana, created for Kahn by Shang Tsung.
In the later games, she also uneasily serves other masters, namely Shinnok and Onaga.
Mileena's traits in the original timeline are traditionally defined by her fierce rivalry with Kitana, as well as her own lust for power and cannibalistic urges.
The series' 2011 reboot game made her ever more unstable but also very immature, and her relationship to Kitana is more ambiguous.
Mileena was a central character to the plot of the game Mortal Kombat: Deception and has often appeared in Mortal Kombat merchandise.
She was also extensively used to promote later games in the series as its semi-ironic designated sex symbol.
However, her appearances in the various other media in the franchise have been relatively rare and minor as compared to these of Kitana.
Gameplay-wise, Mileena is considered a generally strong fighter, including being widely regarded as the best choice in Mortal Kombat II.
In relation to her other aspects, Mileena received a diverse and often mixed—largely due to the character's unbalanced deranged personality and conflicting messages from the dualism of her design—but in most cases favorable critical reception.
