Skarlet
Originally Skarlet, a fan created name, was rumored to be a secret character in Mortal Kombat II. Due to a coding glitch, on rare occasions Kitana's costume would be rendered red instead of blue. However, series co-creator Ed Boon decided to take the rumor and make her an actual character in Mortal Kombat (2011), similar to how Ermac was conceived due to a color glitch in the first Mortal Kombat game.

Skarlet is the first downloadable character released for the Mortal Kombat franchise. She was released on June 21st, 2011 for both PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles.

An expert tracker, she is an enforcer for Shao Kahn and one of his most trusted servants. She was created from the blood of warriors slain on the battlefield and gains strength by absorbing the blood of her enemies. Her powers seem to be derived from blood, and she can transform herself into blood at will.

In Mortal Kombat (2011)'s storyline, Shao Kahn instructs Skarlet to discover Quan Chi's true intentions, and kill the sorcerer if he intends to betray her emperor.

Game Bios
Shao Kahn has many warriors under his command, but his trust lies solely in the fighters of his own creation. Warrior blood gathered from countless battlefields, fused with sorcery, produced his most effective enforcer yet: Skarlet.

An expert tracker, she preys on those deemed enemies of the empire. During kombat, Skarlet gains strength from her opponent's blood, absorbing it through her skin. Shao Kahn has a new mission for this formidable kombatant: discover Quan Chi's true intentions and kill him if he plots betrayal of the emperor.
Blood mage and Imperial Bodyguard. Skarlet was a starving wretch before Shao Kahn anointed her in blood. Reborn by his sorcery with an insatiable bloodlust and the power to feed it, her crimson cravings are rivaled by her desire for Shao Kahn's praise. She is his deadliest, most faithful creation.
Game Endings
Controlled by Quan Chi's sorcery, Skarlet attacked and destroyed Shao Kahn. As Quan Chi's magic subsided, she realized her unwitting role in his want to bring ruin to Outworld. With Shao Kahn's blood splattered across her body, Skarlet absorbed his immense strength. She used this newfound power against Quan Chi. Brotherhood of Shadow warriors raced to defend the sorcerer, but their blood only served to make Skarlet invincible. In a battle between sorcery and gore-fueled fighting power, she avenged her fallen master. Having served her purpose, Skarlet disappeared into the shadows awaiting Shao Kahn's rebirth.
