Mortal Kombat 1: Sonya was on the tail of Kano, her sworn enemy and
leader of the Black Dragon. Kano escaped onto
a mysterious boat so Sonya
and her crew tried to follow. They were caught by Tsung's guards and
forced to take part
in the contest. Or at least Sonya was, with the
promise of freeing her friends if she were to beat Goro and Shang Tsung.
As you can guess by now, she didn't and joined Kano in the forests of
Outworld after the island began to crumble.
Mortal
Kombat II: She only appeared in the background of Shao Kahn's
Courtyard, chained up next to the emperor's throne. She
and Kano were
eventually released thanks to her fellow Special Forces member Jax.
Unfortunately for them, Kano got
away.
Mortal Kombat Trilogy: Sonya's superiors didn't believe her story about
Shao Kahn and his plans to one day overwhelm
Earthrealm. She helplessly
watched as Kahn devoured the souls of almost everyone in the realm. With
her Earthrealm
allies, Sonya fought for the destruction of Shao Kahn.
While she never fought Shao Kahn, she did finally face Kano on
top a high
tower. Kano took control of the fight and even tore out a chunk of
Sonya's hair. Using his distraction
to her advantage, Sonya grabbed Kano
with her legs and tossed him off the building to his doom. After the
world reverted
back to normal, Sonya founded the Outerworld Investigation
Agency with Jax.
Mortal Kombat Gold: Sonya chased Jarek, the last surviving Black Dragon
member, into Edenia. There they found out
about Shinnok's plans for
conquering Earthrealm and put aside their differences. When the smoke had
settled, Sonya
resumed her mission to bring in Jarek. Jarek insisted that
he would not go quietly and ran straight at her. Sonya moved
out of the
way, allowing Jarek to fall off the cliff they were standing on.
Deadly Alliance: Agents Cyrax and Kenshi were stranded in Outworld and
Hsu Hao had destroyed the Outerworld Investigation
Agency's portal. Sonya
joined Raiden on his excursion to Outworld to lend a hand. To make it
through the portal, she
had to defeat an image of her greatest enemy. But
she did not recognize the stranger she faced: the Red Dragon member
Mavado. At one point in Outworld, she finally found the body of Kenshi,
covered in hook wounds and barely alive. She
brought him back to
Earthrealm where he in time healed up. Sonya was promoted to general and
headed a squadron of
agents who would take on newer terrorist threats.
Along with Jax, Cyrax and Kenshi, they planned to take out the Red
Dragon.
Where
Is She Now: I just told you, she's planning on taking out the Red
Dragon! Can you read or is there a goblin in your head
eating my words?!
Sorry.
Miscellaneous Facts and Notes:
Sonya was originally going to be played by Cameron
Diaz in the movie, but
she injured her wrist before filming.
Sonya was meant to appear in MK:SF, but with Tobias
gone and the clock
ticking, they took her out to cut corners.
According to her MK1 bio, Sonya had a twin brother
Daniel Blade listed
as deceased. Perhaps his death is the real reason she was out to get
Kano.
The official
MK1 trading cards claim that Sonya is after Kano for killing
her fiancee.
She and Frost do not get along at all.
