I would believe she is being possessed by that woman from her ending in MK9 (as well as Kitana's MKX ending). It'll have to be established in storymode. In what way? Or perhaps how would you imagine it? You have to remember it's possible Jade isn't a revenant AT ALL anymore. If you recall in the story mode, Raiden accused Quan Chi of having returned Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Kitana and the others to a life far worse than death. This would imply that Quan Chi's sorcery was what kept them as revenants. Without it, they could simply disappear or something. In some ways this could be similar to Onaga's actions in Deception after most of Earthrealm's warriors were killed by the Deadly Alliance. Onaga had revived them as his servants and everything.

Thus it's possible Quan Chi didn't have a use for Jade. Many would argue she's still a fierce warrior and that'd make no sense, but perhaps it has nothing to do with her fighting skills. Perhaps the REAL reason could lie with her bond with Kitana.

If you recall, one of the MKX endings (I think it was Kung Lao or Kung Jin) it showed despite his soul being corrupted, Kung Lao was able to overcome the whole corruption and everything. This however required Kung Jin's help. Thus perhaps the same could have held true for Kitana and Jade. Remember, the two fo them had been comrades in arms for centuries, LONG before the events of MK1.

So it's possible that Quan Chi got rid of Jade in that sense so there would be so such bond between her and Kitana anymore, leaving Kitana permanently corrupted. This would thus explain why in the story, Jax couldn't understand why she liked being a revenant.
