General Sonya Blade has been through a lot since helping Raiden defeat the Netherrealm and Shinnok 25 years ago, including marriage to action hero Johnny Cage, with whom she had a daughter. But parenting was not Sonya's strong suit. Her commitment to her career and difficulty opening up emotionally led to their split five years ago. Now faced with possible renewed hostilities with Outworld, Sonya must confront her past by working with her estranged family.

Exhausted by her ordeals, Sonya slipped into a deep sleep and began to dream.
Kano held Jax and Cassie hostage.
He made Sonya choose who would live and who would die.
Seeing no way to free them both, she chose Cassie--and screamed as Kano killed Jax before her eyes.
Still screaming, she was awoken by Johnny.
He had horrific news. Jax was dead by an assassin's bullet.
Since the world of Mortal Kombat is full of ninjas, sorcerers, cyborgs, and multi-armed monsters, Sonya has always been one of the characters who keeps the game grounded, providing a human point of view to the story. In Mortal Kombat X she's once again helping to defend Earthrealm from invasion, using her humanity as an asset rather than a liability against the powerful forces of evil.
The challenge in designing costumes for Sonya that span the timelines of several games is her consistency. She's always been a soldier and she's always been a hero. We met that challenge by giving her costumes that reflect the world around her.
Her prime costume is her peace time look. She's acting in a tactical advisor role and wears more of a civilian look, softer, sleeker, and less geared up. We also shifted her palette from the usual army greens towards greys and blues.
Sonya's alternate costume is her wartime look. This is the Sonya we're used to seeing, she's in full combat mode with a flak vest, camo pants, and gear pouches all done in shades of army green.
