People complained about them, but Ashrah and Nitara in my opinion were far more interesting than any of the new female fighters we got in MKX. Let's see, Jacqui Briggs, Cassie Mary Sue Cage, D'Vorah, Ferra...

D'Vorah was the closest that came to being as interesting, tho is not saying much. Ashrah's backstory was kind of a ripoff of Sareena's though and a bit too Raiden esque as a fighter, but Nitara was fresh enough for me to give a pass conceptually. Yeah, in terms of her moveset Ashrah is very similar to Raiden and Kung Lao. I don't really mind her having a similar backstory to Sareena because we know for a fact that Quan Chi and the Brotherhood of Shadow had multiple female assassins and slaves. But what I found cool about her is the conflicting nature of her character; you see her design and think "Oh, Holy light warrior." She turns that notion on its head by revealing that's a demon. Nitara I think has a special place in the MK verse as the only playable vampire, especially since the MKX comic established her having a connection to Blood Magik. Bringing her back as a hero of Vaeternus and representative of the vampires could serve to make the extra-realm conflicts more interesting instead of just having it always been Earth vs Outworld.
