Any MK fan knows that the Centaurs and the Shokans and the Tarkatans have always been fighting to be the dominant race.

Seeing this female Centaur and this female Shokan would interesting to see.

The only problem is that Centaurs and Shokans are usually evil. Seeing evil characters fight with each other would bring down how interesting the rivalry would between these two female beasts.

Unless NRS makes the female centaur a good character and then there would be a good rivalry happening.

You know how Centaurs are considered an evil race in MK.

Well I was thinking why and how this female centaur would be a good character; then I thought of an idea.

This female centaur character dislikes how her race are pretty much slaves to the rulers of Outworld and that forces her to escape Outworld of her own free will.

She decides that she wants to earn the good characters respect ( Raiden, Sonya, Johnny and etc. ) and she becomes a member of the White Lotus or some other group in MK that protects Earthrealm.

This is how I think she would become a good character, and set up the rivalry with Sheeva.

How they become rivals is that Sheeva already thinks that the centaurs are a disgrace but this is fueled even more by this female centaur abandoning her race to become a person of good and do great things rather than be a slave of her own free will. So, first of all. It would be great to see female versions of the Outworld monsters including a Tarkatan.

Second, Tarkatans are the evil ones. They are a mix between humanoid Outworlders and demons from the Netherrealm. Like all other Outworlders, Shokans and Centaurians are not actually inherently evil but some (or most) are unwillingly having to obey whoever the major power is in Outworld. It's actually Shao Kahn that makes these characters evil. However, I think that both Kintaro and Sheeva are supposed to be evil. I believe that both Motaro and Goro are actually potentially good because they were in a meeting between them and the Edenians so that they can have some kind of alliance for their respective species. So the female centaur could be a good character regardless without a huge motivation. But maybe she's good because her father was evil.

Third, Centaurs are actually very loyal creatures. Even if the Centaurs were mostly evil it's not like a Centaur to actually go against their race. I suppose it could happen but I doubt it.

Fourth, being how dominate the Centaurs are, I don't see any of them wanting approval of anyone especially not from a human. If they get approval then that's fine but it's not necessary for their livelihood.

Fifth, Shokans and Centaurs don't actually care about the social environments of the other races. So if Motaro Jr. denounces the Centaurs then it's no big deal to any of the Shokans. Sheeva would give a shit.

Sixth, Sheeva would go against a Centaur just because that thing is a Centaur. That's the rivalry.

@Macaulyn: Take in mind that a Centaur doesn't necessarily have to be a boss character. It could be like Sheeva who wasn't a boss but was a Shokan where the first two games had a Shokan who was a boss.
