Biography

Original Timeline

Sheeva was a female member of the Shokan race that resided in Outworld.

Shao Kahn was noted to had hand picked her to serve as Sindel's personal protector.

An illusion of Sheeva was created by Shinnok where he made it that she along with other kombatants were tormenting him in the Netherrealm. This was used to elicit the aid of Taven who was unaware of the Elder God's fall from grace and he had the Edenian god clear out Shinnok's Spire of intruders.

Reboot Timeline

During the Armageddon, Shao Kahn ultimately won where all of creation faced destruction but during the last moments of Raiden he managed to his past experiences back to his younger self. This created a change in the timeline as the younger Raiden was guided by the scattered visions of the future where he sought to avert this dark future.

By this point, Sheeva was appointed the new ruler of the Shokan where she came to lead them as Queen. This also saw Kotal Kahn come into power on Outworld though the Shokan refused to ally with his empire. In this time, the realms faced turmoil when the Titan Kronika sought to re-write the timeline to form a new universe according to her vision for balance. This manipulation of the timestream brought people from various points in the past with among them including Shao Kahn who allied with the Keeper of Time. This caused Outworld to become divided amongst the two Kahn's who sought to eliminate the other. The Shokan did not ally with anyone during this time with past version of Princess Kitana attempting to gain their aid against Shao Kahn. However, Queen Sheeva refused as her people had not been treated well by Kotal Kahn and she was not convinced that the Osh-Tekk was a strong ally. Despite this, Sheeva told the Edenian Princess that if she managed to get the Tarkatans to side with her then the Shokan would similarly ally themselves with their forces.

Overview

Personality and attributes

In appearance, Sheeva was a female Shokan and had all the traits of the species namely a tall, muscular body with reptilian eyes, dragon scales, four arms, three digits on each hand and two digits on each foot.

Sheeva was said to be as brutal as Goro and Kintaro with her possessing more than enough power to destroy foes that cross her path.
