Mortal Kombat: Deception

Kira is the newest member of the Black Dragon, a criminal organization. She disguised herself as a man and sold weopons to terrorists. When they discovered who she was, Kira had to fight her way out of the cave. Kabal was outside the cave waiting to see who would step out victourious. Kabal decided to reconstitute the Black Dragon and observed how Kira conducted herself. He observed that she executed her misdeeds in a cold and calculated fashion, reminiscent of the Red Dragon, the organization from which the Black Dragon split. Since the Black Dragon did not have this presence, Kabal decided to make Kira his first recruit. Kira has devoted herself to her new organization, which has the ambitious goal of some form of global control. In order to prove herself, she has to travel to Outworld to defeat the enemies of Onaga, the Dragon King (e.g., Bo' Rai Cho, Shujinko, and Sub-Zero).

Kira's fighting styles are Xing Yi, Kenpo, and Dragon Teeth. She has at least three special attacks. She can launch herself toward her opponent in the form of a ball, like Kano in earlier games, use Sonya Blade's Kiss of Death from Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance to stun the opponent, and launch a fuchsia sphere of energy. In one of her Fatalities, she throws her Dragon Teeth, two small serrated daggers, into her opponent's feet, then she struts toward her adversary and rips his body in half. In her other one, she again uses her Dragon Teeth, but she slices her opponent in the torso. After a powerful kick, the opponent breaks into six pieces (head, arms, torso, and legs), which fly across the arena. In her Hara-Kiri, she stabs herself in the stomach and collapses in a faceplant.
