Sindel is a major character in the Mortal Kombat franchise.
She is the mother of Kitana, the former queen of Edenia. Although her original timeline and New Era selves were heroes, her alternate timeline self from Mortal Kombat (2011) to Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath was legitimately on the side of evil and was never bewitched by Shao Kahn.
She was voiced by Lani Minella in Mortal Kombat (2011), Kelly Hu in Mortal Kombat X (who also voiced D'Vorah in the same game), and Mara Junot in Mortal Kombat 11 and 1.
Biography[]
Mortal Kombat (2011)[]
In the Alternate Timeline, Sindel was declared dead. But after Shao Kahn lost in Mortal Kombat, Quan Chi suggested invasion but in order to do that Quan Chi has to resurrect Sindel, the woman who cast a spell through her own death, so Shao Kahn can't leave Outworld and enter Earthrealm, thus Earthrealm itself wouldn't suffer as have Sindel's forgotten kingdom of Edenia. When Quan Chi resurrected her, Quan Chi told her that her daughter sided with the warriors of Earthrealm. She then stated that Kitana is no longer her daughter, and sided with her husband, Shao Kahn.
After the death of Motaro, Sindel went to Earthrealm and finish what Motaro started. But before she did, Shao Kahn suck the soul out of Shang Tsung and gave his power to Sindel giving her more strength and abilities during the fight the heroes tried to fight her but Sindel was to strong capable of defeating them easily without getting hit. She was then faced against her daughter who was overpowered by Sindel by brutally beating her without hesitation. Sindel killed; Jax, Kabal, Jade, Smoke, Stryker, Cyber Sub-Zero and her daughter, Kitana with little effort. She was then killed by Nightwolf by sacrificing his life to end her life. However Quan Chi resurrected all the heroes who lost their lives as well as Sindel and he forced them to serve him for all time.

With their defeat. the revenants returned to the Netherrealm.

Raiden, who was now more intimidating and menacing, spoke with the new rulers alone without Sindel, Kung Lao, Smoke and the other revenants being present. The dark thunder god gave a warning to the emperor and empress about what would happen to those who dare to attack Earthrealm. This included the revenants who now follow Liu Kang and Kitana.

Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath[]
As a Revenant, Sindel is first seen confronting her enemies in the Bone Temple as they lay captured. Seeking revenge on the past version of Nightwolf for her demise, she plans to kill him as well, before her nemesis frees himself and knocks her out. With Sheeva being convinced to revive her, she tells Kitana that she never abandoned her family and was actually murdered by Quan Chi, as well as spinning a tall tale of being manipulated by Shao Kahn. She then joins the heroes.
Along with Nightwolf, they both decide to stay to look for the Crown of Kronika. However, Cetrion appears and planned to kill the two, but is defeated by Sindel. She later heads off to Outworld to aid her daughter.
Secretly shaming Kitana for her "foolishness" to Shang Tsung, she later freed Shao Kahn from being tortured, defeated Sheeva, convinced the other Shokan that Kitana was a traitor, and restored her husband in the Soul Chamber.
The Shokan then attack Sonya Blade and her forces, with the former being knocked out. She then defeats Johnny and Cassie Cage, capturing them and storming the hero's boats. Sindel and Shao Kahn defeat Kotal Kahn, and Jade, before revealing to Kitana that she killed Jerrod herself and married Shao Kahn on her own desires. Sindel then defeats her and Liu Kang, with the former imprisoned and the latter crippled by Shao Kahn. Kotal Kahn is also murdered by Shao Kahn.
After this huge blow to the heroes, Shao Kahn and Sindel rally Outworld's forces, with some attacking the other armies the some others going with Shang Tsung to get into Kronika's Keep. Following the deaths of the revenants, Sindel and Shao Kahn plan to defeat Kronika as well, only to be betrayed by Shang Tsung and their souls absorbed into the malicious mage.
Mortal Kombat 1 (2023)[]
In Liu Kang's New Era, while Sindel's character was adjusted to be a noble and just ruler unlike her counterpart from the previous timeline. She is the Empress of Outworld and has twin daughters, Mileena and Kitana. As Outworld's sovereign, she and Liu Kang operate the Mortal Kombat tournaments in order to foster peace between it and Earthrealm.
That being said, the villainous version of Sindel from the previous timeline, now reborn as a servant of Titan Shang Tsung, fought the heroes of the New Era alongside Dark Raiden. After Raiden was killed by Mileena, Dark Sindel took on and defeated the Forces of Light. In the end, the heroic Sindel took up a katana, and Dark Sindel rebuked her noble sentiments. In a fierce katana duel, Dark Sindel was overcome, but she used her prehensile hair to retrieve her katana and impaled her. Mileena engages Dark Sindel in kombat, promising that if Sindel dies, she will ensure Dark Sindel does not survive, either. Dark Sindel and Nitara fought the Princess but Mileena managed to kill Dark Sindel to avenge her mother.
