Jen Reyland

Geneviere "Jen" Reyland was the daughter of Baron Reyland and the girlfriend of Kung Lao in the television series Mortal Kombat: Conquest. Jen is portrayed by Jennifer Renton.
Jen was a beautiful girl who has apparently known Kung Lao for many years, as well as Siro, her father's personal bodyguard. Her father, Baron Reyland, was completely against his daughter's interest with the Temple Warrior, claiming that since Jen was his "property", she can only be "taken" by a man with wealth. The reason for her father's grievance about his daughter having to marry a rich man was later revealed in the episode "Debt of the Dragon": the Baron was in great debt from borrowing money from the Black Dragon (it is never revealed whether his daughter knew about this or not) and had to have her marry a rich man in order to help pay off the debts.
Jen was in love with Kung Lao, so much so, that she defied her father's wishes and attempts to elope with him. She helped freed Taja from shackles and the two rescued Kung Lao from being executed. However, she was captured by her father's henchmen and used as a bait to lure Kung Lao, who was planning to pick her up in the night.
During the night, Kung Lao stepped into the trap and fight Takeda, possessed by Scorpion, who was sent by Shang Tsung to kill Kung Lao for his soul. The fight ended up with Jen being taken away by Takeda and Baron Reyland was killed by accident.
Jen was brought to the Temple of Order of Light and Takeda, now fully transformed into Scorpion, brainwashed two monks and waited Kung Lao's arrival.
Kung Lao arrived on the scene and fought Scorpion. Jen tried to interfere the fight by attacking the specter with a candlestand. Unfortunately, she was mortally wounded by Scorpion with a hellfire ball. After Scorpion was sent to the Netherrealm by Kung Lao, Jen parted her lovers and died in his arms.
Before her death, Jen passed the key to her house, the trading post, and asked Kung Lao to inherit it as her final request. Later on, Kung Lao used it as the base of operation along with Taja and Siro.
In "Unholy Alliance", Shang Tsung and Quan Chi created an illusion of Jen to confuse Kung Lao.

== A Date and a Destiny ==
Jen was only briefly seen via flashback 500 years ago, as Raiden was summarizing the tragedies of both her and the Great Kung Lao to Aiko. The present Kung Lao always dreaded that both he and Aiko would go thru the same fates as they did. But Raiden was more hopeful there'd be a chance for them after he highlighted the events of Jen disobeying his father to make his relationship with Lao then be killed by Scorpion, and having Lao make her trading post as a base of operations after she made her last request of inheriting the place to her beloved. That was until Lao was killed by Goro and got his soul taken by Shang.
== Kontentment ==
It was mentioned by Caro that contrary to the original timeline, courtesy on Liu Kang training the Great Kung Lao, she died of natural causes rather than by the hands of Scorpion. Due to his status as Champion for 50 years, she passed in advanced age, while he soon followed after winning over Goro though succumbing to his injuries. Since Liu restarted time, their fates were repeated.
