## Profile

### Identity

Assassin's true identity is **Skarlet**, Blood mage and Imperial Bodyguard. Skarlet was a starving wretch before Shao Kahn anointed her in blood. Reborn by his sorcery with an insatiable bloodlust and the power to feed it, her crimson cravings are rivaled by her desire for Shao Kahn's praise. She is his deadliest, most faithful creation. Most importantly, she is also Mileena's rival.

### Personality

n Mortal Kombat (2011), Skarlet is displayed with little to no emotion, only caring about serving her master and completing her mission to discover Quan Chi's motive. In her ending, Skarlet is shown to be vengeful. As after learning Quan Chi manipulated her into killing Shao Kahn. she instantly hunted him down and slaughtered him and the Brotherhood of Shadow.

In Mortal Kombat 11, Skarlet is presented as an addict. Feeling without her Blood-Magic she was worthless. Her loyalty to Shao Kahn and her need to prove herself to him is deeply expanded, to the point of obsession. She is vicious to anyone who betrays Shao Kahn, such as Kitana or Jade, believing they had everything and threw it all away. As an orphan who had nothing and starved daily, the concept of someone throwing everything away is shown to enrage her, as seen in her battle with Kitana.

## Abilities

Skarlet is a very ferocious opponent in battle. She utilizes a slew of blades during combat, which she can use as both projectiles and melee weapons. Being composed solely of blood, Skarlet can utilize several blood-related techniques such as throwing orb-shaped projectiles composed of blood and can even morph herself into a red-liquid state which she can mold into structures. Unlike Noob Saibot, she utilizes this state for both offensive and evasive maneuvers.

Despite having had her legs shattered by Mileena in the Mortal Kombat X comic, she returns in MK11 with restored limbs, suggesting regenerative abilities. Her abilities in particular have also been significantly improved thanks to Blood Magic, now being able to draw blood directly from her opponents out of their orifices as well as forming weapons from said blood as shown by her Fatal Blow and one of her Fatalities as well as forming blood constructs out of thin air and one of her win animations summoning a magic glyph underneath her that causes blood to rise up. While still a vicious opponent, Skarlet's fighting style has changed considerably, trading in her acrobatic techniques for blood constructs. Her assassin tendencies still remain by wielding a single dagger or hiding within a bloodied corpse and lashing out for a surprise attack as a shapeless mass of blood.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **Bloody Pain**

This Noble Phantasm is a resemblance to her X-ray in Mortal Kombat 11.
Skarlet grabs her opponent then rapidly stabs them in the chest, right shoulder, neck and abdomen before vertically slicing upwards, releasing much blood. She forms a large scythe with the blood and stabs the opponent with it, After that the blood fills up her scythe as she is prepared for a final attack that removes her opponents blood faster until death.
