cassiefuckingcageAfter barely surviving invasion attempts by Shinnok and Shao Kahn, the forces of Earthrealm are depleted. A swift victory over Mileena in the Outworld Civil War has put Kotal Kahn, the Emperor of Outworld, in a position of strength. He makes a veiled threat in the form of a request: in exchange for eternal peace between the realms, Earthrealm will offer him annual tribute. To ensure their compliance, Cassandra Cage, the daughter of two of Earthrealm's champions, is to be raised as his ward.
To the sorrow of Johnny and Sonya, Earthrealm accepts. From the time she is six years old, she is raised by Kotal Kahn and trained in the art of kombat. From the age of majority, she serves as the Kahn's personal assassin.
This Cassie is colder and more hardened than the one you know. She still has a considerable amount of wit, but her putdowns tend to be more withering and insulting. She is both resentful and understanding of how she was raised, but now, not only does she have to live up to the expectations of who her parents are, but also the very real obligations of her duties to the Kahn.
