Description

The madness continues, courtesy of the wonderful :iconradprofile:!

The girls of Deception show their best (?) sides in some impromptu advertising...

Left to right, Tanya, Kira, Ashrah and Sindel.

Kira is an interesting one; in many ways she's a female version of Kano - like him, she is skilled with butterfly knives and shares an acrobatic fighting style.  And like him, she's a member of the Black Dragon criminal society.

The second MK trilogy (5 through 7) has a number of intriguing moves away from the classic 'good vs evil' scenario of the original games.  We see a LOT more 'shades of grey' here. For a start, there's the Law vs Chaos conflict between Seido and the ChaosRealm. Also, the two criminal sydnicates, both technically 'bad guys' and evilly-aligned, but bitter enemies. (Arguably, there's even Onaga, who is the rightful ruler of Outworld and served by the Lawful forces too).

The Red Dragon syndicate are criminals in the classic Mafia or Yakuza sense - organised, disciplined, bound by criminal codes with a rigid structure to enforce obedience.  They are led by Daegon (brother of Taven, the protagonist of 'Armageddon') and include Mavado and Hsu Hao.  The Black Dragon, on the other hand, are thieves, terrorists and nihilists, small cells with much less organisation and not bound by even criminal morality. 

Kira here is quite intellectual about it, believing strongly in their cause.  Where her sometime-partner Kobra is just a dumb thug who wants to smash things and hang out with other badasses, Kira believes that humanity will become weak and indolent if it is not tested by external threats.  She feels that only by trying to smash the boundaries of civilisation can it prove itself as worthy of survival.  And she is happy to test it to its limits... She was hand-picked by Kabal (who has worked both sides of the face/heel divide and hates the other bad guys much more than the good guys) to be a part of his cell, and she enthusiastically works to make the Black Dragon something other than a 'mere band of thugs'. 

Interestingly, Kira is from EarthRealm, so her victories count for there, despite the fact she's a murderer and a terrorist.  In the volleyball tournament, she's paired with Sonya Blade (and the Lin-Kuei, Frost), which will make for some awkward teamwork...
