Mortal Kombat 12: 10 Lost Characters NetherRealm MUST Include

Another veteran of Mortal Kombat Deception and denizen of the Netherrealm, Ashrah subverts the trope of the fallen angel and is instead an ascending demon. As Mortal Kombat's version of hell, only dark and evil creatures can reside in the Netherrealm, and Ashrah had long desired to escape.

When she happened upon a magical sword, her wish became granted and or every demon she slays, her own soul became that much more purified. So began Ashrah's quest to purify herself completely and eventually be cast out of the Netherrealm.

Often mistakenly interpreted as just a "female Raiden" Ashrah's story and gameplay is much more involved than a first glance would have you think. Her design and abilities strikes a stark contrast to her realm of origin, and provided an interesting perspective on the Netherrealm as it was finally being seen through the eyes of someone who didn't want to conquer it.

Ashrah's fighting styles and special moves were entertaining in their own right, but it was her fatality's use of a voodoo doll that set her apart and could lend itself to some absolutely inspired gameplay from her in future games.
