Sindel (3rd Timeline)

Empress Sindel of Outworld, is a supporting protagonist in Mortal Kombat 1.
== Biography ==
In the New Era created by Fire God Liu Kang, Sindel is once again a noble and just ruler, serving as the Empress of Outworld with Kitana and Mileena as her twin daughters. Her eldest daughter, Mileena was infected by the disease called the "Tarkat" causing Sindel to temporarily pass on the heirloom to Kitana until Mileena is fully cured.
After the dinner at Outworld, General Shao betrays Sindel, but then she scolds Mileena over her tarkat disease and blames her for it. Then later, after General Shao plotted a rebellion against Liu Kang, Sindel and the royal house members, her daughters, Tanya, and Geras get sucked into Shinnok's amulet, and when fighting Rain, she tells her that his betrayal hurts her the most because she thought of him like a son. After defeating him, she considers him dead.
Sindel would then die fighting her second timeline counterpart while in pursuit of Titan Shang Tsung. Her soul, alongside Jerrod's, would later rest within Ermac's body.
== Appearance ==
She is a tall, attractive, athletic East Asian-like woman, with long hair that is mostly silver-grey, except for a black surface from the top of her head down the middle of other hair along her back.
Her attire has the primary color of purple, with silver and gold adornments, such as gauntlets and breast plates.
== Personality ==
She is mostly a kind-hearted and a benevolent empress and very caring towards her daughters, but to Tarkatans, she has a extremely xenophobic behavior towards them, making her an anti-heroine, although her prejudice against them is based on reason of sorts, since Tarkat is an infectious disease that Outworld is still struggling to understand; although, her eldest daughter and heir, Mileena was infected by Tarkat, thereby she likely holds an understandable resentment, if unfairly against all infected.
She is a loving mother, but does exert a lot of pressure on her daughters to live up to the standards of the royal family; her occasional toughness is based on a genuine desire to prepare them for any challenges that come their way, therefore is well-intended, if sometimes misguided. Her high expectations for her daughters can lead to her being dismissive of their objections. While holding strong emotional discipline, she still mourns the death of her husband, Jerrod; however, she avoids letting her grief interfere with her royal obligations.

== Trivia ==

* While previous iterations has her be a wife of Shao, willingly or unwillingly, this one filled the role of maternal figure to General Shao, although this positive influence was sabotaged by Titan Shang Tsung.
* She is the first Sindel to be the sole ruler of Outworld.
