Sonya Blade
As a girl, Sonya idolized her father, a U.S. Marine. When he embarked on
a covert operation and never returned , she vowed to honor his memory.
She joined the Marines and pushed herself hard, quickly rising in rank.
Sonya's impulsiveness didn't win her many friends, but her skills and
loyalty gained the respect and admiration of all who fought beside her.
Though she has never given up her quest to uncover the truth behind her
father's disappearance, she realizes that she might never see him again.
Now Sonya finds herself caught up in the mysterious Mortal Kombat
tournament. Like her father, she too could become a casualty of war.
