Cetrion

Cetrion is a character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. The Elder Goddess of Life, Virtue and Light, she is the sister of the Fallen Elder God Shinnok and daughter of the Titaness and Keeper of Time Kronika, serving her mother to balance the ways of the realms.
Cetrion made her debut in Mortal Kombat 11, serving as the sub-boss and tertiary antagonist in the game's Story Mode.
Cetrion is an Elder Goddess who is the sister and counterpart of Shinnok and one of the deities responsible for banishing him to the Netherrealm. She is also the daughter of Kronika.
During the events of Mortal Kombat 11, it is revealed that Cetrion, much like Shinnok, was a sleeper agent for Kronika. Both played an intricate game for eons: while she defended Life, Virtue, and Light, Shinnok defended Death, Corruption, and Darkness. Kronika's plans were for to continue existing, thereby keeping the balance of these essential aspects of the universe.
However, once Raiden caused massive and irreversible unbalance between good and evil by decapitating Shinnok - and therefore taking him out of the game forever - she betrayed her fellow Elder Gods like her brother had in order to assist her mother in creating a New Era, an age where she and Shinnok would once again pit the realms against one another in an eternal struggle.
Cetrion's dominion is Nature and Life, allowing her to control the elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Light. Although she stands as a bastion of Peace and Light on the surface, she is loyal to her mother first and foremost, and is perfectly willing to commit atrocities (even murdering her fellow Elder Gods) if it advances her mother's goals. In this respect, Cetrion is shown to be hypocritical, and every bit as cruel and dark as Shinnok.
Still, much like Kronika, Cetrion's actions are not motivated by grief or vengeance, but a very relativist and divine concept of equilibrium that strongly require she and her brother to keep tangling the realms into their conflict, a vision firmly opposed by Raiden. Liu Kang notices that Cetrion, being the Elder Goddess of Virtue, gets weaker by following Kronika's vision, since it directly opposes the very principle, she is supposed to stand for. Nonetheless, Cetrion believes that the greatest Virtue is abiding her mother's will of balance, and the Shaolin proves in kombat that her heart is not enough to support such folly. Because of this, it is subtly implied that she - and possibly Shinnok (considering some intros between her and Raiden) - might merely be puppets of Kronika herself, being oblivious to their part of a greater design.
== Final Kombat ==
While she's not a main character outright, Shinnok has mentioned to Raiden, Nightwolf, Aiko, Kung Lao, Frederick and Hanzo of her tragic fate; as a pawn to her parent and lacking free will since Kronika's the Keeper of Time and Titaness, as she'd more power than an Elder God and close to possessing power to the One Being. Thru absorption of Liu Kang's pure heart energies performed by Nightwolf's ritual and allies' souls crossing over to the Netherrealm and empowering the Champion, Shinnok begins to remember her. He then noticed that his mom committed her death, and thus losing his equal and realizing they were destined to fight each other as puppets to their controlling parent! By the time the group approached him as his weakened self, he pleaded for the amulet and stop Armageddon by Kahn to reunite with her.
By the time Shinnok's double stole Aiko's black heart for Armageddon, the battle ensued. Though it was fortunate for Hanzo to arrive with the amulet. With the mounting stress, Shinnok screamed for Cetrion utilizing his amulet which saved him from dying and fading out to be absorbed by his malicious double. Thru the amulet, the black gem dissolved and when Blaze unleashed his fury with Liu Kang's flame shield, it was rumored that Cetrion's memories and essence had been restored. She was in great remorse of the calamity and the arrogance by the Elder Gods, even for her brother, that she conjured a healing shower which revived all the heroes protected! Since then, she offered Shinnok to govern Purgatory, a realm higher toward her!
The elder Fire God and Kitana recalled the former's crucial battle against her, Revenants Jade, Kitana and Kung Lao and Kronika, as well as attaining the Krown from Shang, before he sent Aiko and Baraka back! He had knowledge and optimism of Cetrion even though she was bound to her mom's totalitarian. Still, Cetrion has brought peace amongst the Elder Gods.
