"I wish I did not have to do that."

- Jade to Smoke

Biography

 * Mortal Kombat (2011): "An assassin for Shao Kahn, Jade has earned a reputation as an agile and stealthy warrior. Her family was Edenian nobility and served the emperor once he conquered their realm, giving Jade to him as tribute when she was a child. After years of rigorous training in the art of kombat, Shao Kahn awarded her the position of Bodyguard to Princess Kitana. Over the centuries she and Kitana have become close friends, which makes Jade's secret orders from Shao Kahn painful to accept: Should Kitana's loyalty falter, Jade must kill her friend."

Storyline
Jade initially appeared at the side of Shang Tsung along with her best friend Kitana, watching from the sidelines as the tournament in Earthrealm took place. When Sonya successfully freed Jax from captivity in Goro's Lair, Jade and Kitana were ordered by Shang Tsung to prevent Sonya and Jax from leaving. Both of them faced Sonya in a two-on-one battle but ultimately were defeated.

After Shang Tsung was defeated by Liu Kang, Jade returned to Outworld through a portal along with the her peers.

Later on Jade appeared in the Armory finding Raiden, Jax, and a recently beaten Johnny Cage. Demanding that the intruders leave the restricted area, she faced Jax in kombat but failed to defeat him, and the three continued on their quest to find Sonya, who had been taken by Outworld forces. Shao Kahn later reprimanded Kitana during the second tournament after her failure to intercept the Lin Kuei warriors, and ordered Kitana to leave the coliseum. Jade followed Kitana into the Wastelands. Jade noted Shao Khan's displeasure and pleaded the princess to behave more accordingly, this resulted in an argument between the two and just before the Earth warriors appeared Jade left Kitana.

When Kitana left to go to Shang Tsung's Flesh Pits, she called out to Jade, who she knew was following her through the Living Forest. Jade explained that she was told by the Emperor to prevent Kitana from ever entering the Flesh Pits, and beged Kitana to turn back on her quest. Kitana refused and a battle began, from which Kitana emerged victorious.

Jade was evesdropping as Kitana brought Shang Tsung to Shao Kahn and informed Shao Kahn of the experiments happening in the Flesh Pits. She saw her best friend taken prisoner, and having overheard the truth of what Shao Kahn had done to Kitana and Edenia determined to amend things. Jade set out to free Kitana from captivity in the Tower. Entering the Armory, she encountered Baraka, who refused to let her go to the Princess. Comparing him to a guard dog, she mocked him before defeating him. As the Tarkatan insulted the Edenian race for their "lack of loyalty", Jade teases Baraka with a cryptic hint before stomping on his face. Upon finding Kitana restrained by magic and protected by Sheeva, Jade continued to mock the Shokan both before and after she defeated her.

Jade and Kitana shared a brief moment of comfort before they became aware of the guards that were following Jade. Before she was able to free Kitana, Kitana pleaded to her that she had to inform Raiden of everything and flee before she was also captured. Jade agreed, and fleed back to the Wastelands, where she was found by Mileena. Claiming there was to be a celebration for her "Sister", Mileena attempted to defeat Jade but was unsuccessful, which prompted Jade to remark that she was much more of a sister to Kitana than Mileena could ever be. With Mileena defeated, the Earth warriors approached. Smoke saw Mileena, and believed that Jade has just defeated Kitana, unaware of the Flesh Pits experiments. Before she had the chance to explain herself, Smoke attacked her, which resulted in Jade reluctantly defeating him. Jade informed the rest of the Earth warriors of Kitana's capture and her location, which encouraged Liu Kang and Kung Lao to go to save her.

Later on Jade joined the Earthrealm warrirors' discussions during the invasion of Earthrealm. When the Lin Kuei cyborgs ambushed the Earthrealm warriors in the Temple, she assisted in defeating them. However, when Sindel arrived, Jade was one of the warriors who was killed by the empowered Queen as Sindel riped her organs out of her body. Jade was last shown in the Netherrealm, resurrected with her soul in the possession of Quan Chi.

Ending

 * Mortal Kombat (2011): thumb|200px|right|Jade's ending in Mortal Kombat (2011)"Shao Kahn was defeated, but the intense battle rendered Jade unconscious. She slipped into a dream-like state and found herself walking in an unknown realm. As she explored, her surroundings shifted and changed. Jade approached a lone figure who stood in the distance--a shimmering woman. She did not reveal her name, but spoke with an air of regal authority. Through the minds of countless mortals, the woman had been watching events as they unfolded over the centuries. She informed Jade that Shao Kahn's death was an outcome that must be re-imagined. Jade was defenseless as the woman possessed her body and emerged in the waking world."
