Sonya (Mortal Kombat)

How Sonya joined the Tourney
General of Earthrealm Special Forces, Sonya Blade is a beautiful, stern, tough-as-nails General. Sonya represents a very emancipated and headstrong woman, but for all her stubbornness and pride, she deeply cares about the lives of her friends and comrades. She has a long-standing enmity with the thug, Kano, who had murdered a former partner of hers, and stands for everything Sonya despises. She has also feuded with other Black Dragon members such as Jarek.

While training with Cassie Cage, Sonya receives a report regarding an ex-Furious Five owl named Fenghuang blackmailing the Russian FSB forces.

Energy Rings (Neutral)
Clanging her wrists together, she sends out pink ring-like projectiles that would hit the opponent.

Kiss (Side)
Sonya blows a kiss that stuns the opponent by irritating their eyes. Note that this move won't work on anyone who is blind (Kenshi, Shew, etc.).

Inverted Bicycle Kick (Up)
Sonya rises into the air with a series of kicks to the opponent.

Drone (Down)
Sonya calls in a drone, which will float next to her until a command is given. If you press B, the drone shoots an overhead blast at the enemy to knock them down. Its lights get blue when performing this. Only hits close enemies. If you press B Side, the drone shoots homing electric energy at the enemy to knock them down. Its lights get blue when performing this. If you press B Down again, the drone flies straight at the enemy and explodes upon contact with them. Its lights get red while performing this.

Poison Kiss (Hyper Smash)
Based on her Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance Fatality. Sonya exhales a mystical poisonous mist at her opponent (complete with Valentine hearts), causing him/her to choke and vomit food twice and blood once. While the opponent is distracted by the vomiting, Sonya then jumps in the air and crushes her opponent's head with her feet.

Target Marked (Final Smash)
Based on her first Mortal Kombat X Fatality. Sonya shoves a smoke grenade into her opponent's mouth. Afterwards, she summons an attack drone with her wrist device. It shoots out a pair of lasers that cut off the opponent's arms and a rocket that homes onto the smoke marker, blowing up the head. The rest of the body then falls over.
