Biography

Original Timeline

Ashrah was a female demon who came to be a denizen of the Netherrealm. For ages, she and her sisters came to blindly serve Quan Chi where they operated as members of the Brotherhood of Shadow. However, one day, she came to question the commands given to her by the sorcerer. For her defiance, Quan Chi decided to use her as an example and ordered her sisters to kill her. This forced Ashrah to escape where she came to discover a heavenly sword called the Kriss. Taking the blade, she came to strike at the demonic assassin sent after her where she came to experience a strange exhilaration from using it. Ashrah came to find that the taint of evil that was on her began to leave her body which was seemingly being purified in the process. She came to realise that using the sword to exterminate demons in the Netherrealm led to her own soul being cleansed. Thus, she resolved herself to clean the world of evil where every fiend she eradicated she found her own presence within the Netherrealm to be more and more unstable. Ashrah reasoned that once her soul was cleansed of all evil then the Netherrealm would reject her presence and she would be expelled from it thus allowing her among the mortal worlds. In this time, she had slain many demons but determined that killing a powerful foe such as Noob Saibot would allow her to finally ascend from the Netherrealm.

After slaying a multitude of demons in the Netherrealm, Ashrah transcended that plane of hell and emerged in an unfamiliar realm, surrounded by celestial beings of light. These celestial beings made her into their chosen warrior-- the wielder of the Kriss who could purify the world, and would ascend into becoming 'an angel of light', once she used the weapon to 'consume the darkness'. After submitting to their will, Ashrah was transported to Vaeternus to start slaying the vampire race, which she saw as vile beings for their feeding on the blood of the living and spreading their corruption throughout the realms. She began her quest, slaying numerous vampires. However, soon she was encountered by Nitara, who was warned of this threat to her realm by the elders of Vaeternus. Ashrah was defeated by Nitara, who then managed to escape to Edenia. Ashrah followed her to gain the power of Blaze, in order to destroy Nitara and gain ascension. Ashrah then joins in the Battle of Armageddon, fighting on the Forces of Light. At that time when Sub-Zero and Scorpion were fighting each other, Ashrah was seen fighting Noob and later Mavado where she died along with the rest of the kombatants.

Overview

Personality and attributes

In appearance, Ashrah had the form of an elegant, old-fashioned, and attractive young woman. In reality, she was actually a demon but her true features had become more human-like over the years. She dressed completely in white and appears as a tall, mysterious woman; a blend between aristocracy and innocence. The demon woman wore her dark brown hair tied into a bun. She has the trademark white hat with a long veil that trails behind it. Her hair is dark and pulled back in a bun. She wears almost all white. She has what looks like a white kimono-like dress on with a gold belt. This outfit has gold bracelets that twist around her wrists. She wears a white skirt with Japanese symbols on the right side. Under this skirt are a pair of white karate 'pants'. She has what look to be white socks or very soft shoes on her feet; gold trim snakes its way up her calves.

After ascending from the Netherrealm, she encountered celestial beings of light where she was awestruck by their beauty. They entrusted with her the task of wielding the power of light to purify the realms of darkness with Ashrah surrendering herself to their will. She believed that her purpose in the cosmos was clear and she looked to achieve absolute purification by joining these beings as an angel of light. To that end, she began hunting various threats that were deemed to be evil across the realms.

Powers and abilities

Within her possession was a powerful, holy artifact known as the Kriss. This weapon upon being used had the ability to cleanse the soul of its user. By slaying demons, its wielder gradually becomes more pure and holy. Its power were not limited to just affecting the user's essence, but also their personalities. Ashrah turned against her demon brethren and sought to become purified. If she could accomplish her goal by slaying enough demons, the Netherrealm itself would reject her holy being. Despite Ashrah's origin as a demon, she wielded holy powers as a side effect of wielding the Kriss.
