==About Sareena== |
|
|
Sareena is a ] who first appeared in '']'' as a ] ] character. She has only been ] in '']'' for the ]. She is from the ] and a former assassin for ] but turned against him. Her young and beautiful appearance hides her true form of a hideous demon. In the past, she required Quan Chi's magic to sustain her human form, but since recently escaping the Netherealm, she has managed to find a way to remain beautiful without him. She currently has a neutral alignment, since her motives for the most part remain unknown. |

==Storyline== |
|
|
|
|
|
The demon Sareena first appeared in ''Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero'' as one of ]'s personal ]. She and her two partners, ] and ], were ordered to kill ] before he reached Quan Chi. They were defeated, but Sub-Zero strangely spared Sareena's life. Later, as Sub-Zero battled Quan Chi, Sareena suddenly appeared and helped him defeat the sorcerer. After expressing her desire to escape the Netherealm with him, she is shot in the back with a bolt of energy by ]. She collapses into an enraged Sub-Zero's arms and appears to die. |
|
|
|
|
|
It is later revealed in ''Mortal Kombat: Tournament Edition'', that Sareena was not killed by Shinnok's attack, but rather, her human form was destroyed. Her essence was then banished to the 5th Plane of the Netherealm as punishment for her betrayal, where she would suffer for years. After years of being trapped, Sareena discovered the portal Quan Chi and ] used to escape the Netherealm shortly before '']''. She went through the portal and is transported to ] where she later discovered a way to restore her human form without Quan Chi's magic by absorbing the energy of the realm. |

Shortly after regaining her human form, Sareena encountered the ] she met years before. Feeling he owed her for helping his brother, Sub-Zero granted her sanctuary with the ] back on ]. |

===Possible future=== |
|
|
|
|
|
It is believed she accepted his offer and is currently hiding on Earth with the Lin Kuei. However, Sub-Zero has been warned that there is risk that comes with trusting a demon from the Netherealm. Whether this risk proves to be Sub-Zero's undoing or not may be learned soon, as she is confirmed to appear in the upcoming '']''. |

==Trivia== |
|
|
] |
|
|
*In ''Mythologies'', there was a briefly hinted love interest between Sareena and the ]. |
|
|
*Early in '']'''s development, Sareena was briefly considered to be added to the roster; the MK team wanting to include another ''Mythologies'' character in addition to ] and ]. However, they ultimately decided to include ] instead. |
|
|
*Shortly before and briefy after ''Mortal Kombat 4'' was released in arcades, it was vaguely hinted that ] was going to share some sort of connection or relationship with Sareena. However, this connection was never developed and later forgotten |
|
|
*Sareena was originally meant to be in '']'' but was cut from the final game, only to be added to ''MK:Tournament Edition''. She was also heavily rumored to be included in '']'', but was again left out. |
|
|
*Although Sareena has, until ''Armageddon'', only appeared in side-games, she has amassed a surprisingly strong fan-base. |
|
|
*Sareena makes a brief cameo appearance in ''Deception'''s Konquest mode. For a side mission, ] is ordered by the ] to find the traitor Sareena. However when Shujinko finds her, she pays him not to tell the Brotherhood where she is. |
