Sindel (also called Queen Sindel by her regal name), is a character in the Mortal Kombat series of fighting games.

About Sindel
Sindel is an exceptional character in the Mortal Kombat series (and in fighting games in general) in more than one way. She is a distinctly older and mature character, with flowing grey hair and a regal attitude befitting of her role as Queen of Edenia. Another factor that contributes to her uniqueness is the fact that at one point in the series, she was actually undead. In spite of her gloomy, gothic appearance, Sindel is benevolent in nature. She rules the realm of Edenia alongside her daughter, Princess Kitana. Sindel's power appears to be more one of an inner, ethereal nature, however, and she has a natural affinity with aerial magic, as evidenced by her ability to levitate and manipulate sonic waves. In Mortal Kombat Deception creator Ed Boon exprsses sindel as a challenging charector in more then one way.

Early Story
Sindel's storyline begins tragically 10,000 years ago, when her kingdom was invaded by Shao Kahn, and she was forced to watch as her husband, King Jerrod was killed, her people enslaved, and then-infant Kitana adopted by Kahn as his daughter. This proved too much for her, as a mother, wife, and queen, and soon after the invasion, she committed suicide.



Sindel's Resorection
However, this would not be the end of her. Gaining aid from the Elder God Shinnok, Shao Kahn would conspire to bring her back to life, but not in Outworld. Instead, her resurrection would take place on Earth, which would allow Shao Kahn to step through the borders separating the realms and claim her for himself, thus forcing a merger between Earth and Outworld. She would also be revived in a brainwashed state, with no knowledge of her past and having complete loyalty to Kahn. After the sorcerer Shang Tsung failed to secure Earth via the Mortal Kombat tournament, Kahn implemented this plan, and was partially successful; Sindel was reborn just as was planned, and Kahn was able to garner a partial merger of the realms by her revival before Earth's warriors defeated him. However, Kahn didn't just lose Earth in his defeat; Kitana - realizing that her mother was alive - succeeded in procuring an audience with her and convincing her of her true past, thus turning Sindel against the emperor. As Kahn's defeat also succeeded in separating it from their homerealm of Edenia, Sindel took up her rightful place on its throne, and vowed not only to rebuild their home, but to also bring down Shao Kahn for his many crimes.

Edenian's Trator
However, those plans had to wait, as one of Sindel's people, the daughter of an Edenian ambassador to the realms named Tanya, betrayed her homeland and allowed the Netherrealm forces of the fallen Elder God Shinnok to invade the palace. Though Kitana got away, Sindel herself was captured and held in her own dungeon until Shinnok's forces were defeated. Enraged at this latest invasion on her kingdom, Sindel sent Kitana to form an alliance with the Shokan armies and lead them into battle against a weakened Shao Kahn while she continued to help restore Edenia to its former beauty

==Sindel's Deception== Unfortionlly once again sindel plans on restoring edenia would once again have to wait. After the formantion of the Deadly Alliance, it brought battle between Kitana and her alliance, untimely kitana and her alliance was defeated and slain, But Onaga the dragon king had resorrected kitana and her alliance under his control. Edenia once again was in peril danger when onaga went to edenia and capture queen sindel and lock her in her own prison and used kitana as her prisoner guard knowing that she could not bring herselve to her own daughter. As tanya the trator of Edenia aid Onaga in finding the secret ancient anchanted power which lied in Edenia knowin that sindel would be out of the way. But jade thought diffrently and free sindel by defeating kitana and the two escape to outworld. After escaping to outworld sindel and jade went to the Dragon king's tomb, were the original body of Onaga lied, sindel and jade prepeared the ancent spell which would bring his soul back to the cell, but Onaga had interfered, Onaga could had defeated sindel and jade but instead took pleasure in using kitana to stop them, but he was a fool, as jade took on kitana sindel thrust her Kwan Dao into the body and scream the antient spell which put onaga back into his corpse and laying him to rest defeating him. The defeat of onaga broke the control he had over kitana and reunite her with sindel, putting Edenia back in one piece.



Sindel's Ending
In Sindel's Armageddon Ending, with the power of a god coursing through her, Sindel chose to undo the murder of her husband, Jerod, at the hands of Shao Kahn. Reachin into The Heavens, she pulled his soul back to Edenia and made him flesh once more. The reunited Jarod, Sindel and Kitana formed the Triad of the Just to protect the realms from tyrants like Shao Kahn.
