They come up with a vampire for the story in the original timeline and now they want to recon the character and say that it was Mileena all along? That would just suck. Why not kill off Nitara rather than merging her with Mileena. I'm not trying to point at you and tell you how rediculous your thought is, I'm just saying that I hope that doesn't happen. I heard an idea from someone else saying that Kitana should be this timeline's Ashrah and I just think that's a cop out. NRS needs to come up with creative ideas on why we don't see particular characters. I understand. The whole Nitara thing was just me going "Since Nitara was a vampire, maybe Vampire!Mileena might look similar." I meant nothing more beyond a musing.

As for the "Kitana / Ashrah" idea, I hope not. Ashrah had a nice design, but she had a sword in the place of a personality. I could see Kitana potentially using said sword as a plot token, but that's the extent of it. Ashrah really doesn't have anything of substance to copy.
