Skarlet

Skarlet is a character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. A mage of the deadly arts of Blood Magik, she is one of the adopted daughters of the Outworld Emperor Shao Kahn and serves as his personal bodyguard.
Skarlet made her playable debut in Mortal Kombat (2011) as DLC. Before that, she was a subject of fan speculation that began with rumors of a glitch in Mortal Kombat II, supported by a fake image.
Skarlet returned in Mortal Kombat 11 as a playable character and minor antagonist in the game's Story Mode.
Originally, Skarlet was a character rumored to have been a secret in Mortal Kombat II, though this was speculated to be a coding glitch from Kitana, much like Ermac, who had supposedly been a color glitch from Scorpion.
Originally depicted as a pure genetic experiment created by Shao Kahn himself through magic and the combination of the blood from countless dead warriors, Skarlet's backstory is retconned in Mortal Kombat 11, revealing she is of Outworlder decent, a starving wretch on the streets of Outworld who was taken in personally by Shao Kahn himself. While the original genetic experiment trait is retconned, she still remains a genetic experiment in a different way, being empowered greatly by Shao Kahn through sorcery, who later taught Skarlet the ways of Blood Magik, becoming a powerful and deadly kombatant in the process.
Due to her affiliation with blood, Skarlet is fascinated by the blood of her enemies, revealing to Shao Kahn that Edenian blood is the most unique to her. However, she refrains from the blood of the Kytinn, which has negative effects on her as compared to the blood of humans and Outworlders.
As one of Shao Kahn's adopted daughters, she is a devoted servant of his, doing anything and everything to appease her Emperor, similar to that of Mileena. Kotal Kahn refers to Skarlet as a former Champion of Outworld alongside the likes of Kitana and Baraka.
=== Abandoned story arc ===
Although she was once the Edenian rebel known as Ruby, although she was never seen again since she made a tearful farewell to Jax as he and his team left... Kahn then severely punished her for her treachery, and by the time he was preparing for Armageddon, he resurrected Ruby into Skarlet from the Flesh Pits, and with Kytinn blood combined with Edenian, making her obedient only to the Emperor!
