Karveena

Karveena is a fictional character from the *Mortal Kombat* video game series, created by Midway Games and later developed by NetherRealm Studios. Introduced in *Mortal Kombat 11* (2019), she is a female warrior from the fictional realm of Outworld and serves as the daughter of the villainous Shinnok. Karveena is depicted as a skilled fighter with a strong connection to her father’s legacy, though she initially seeks to carve her own path.

Physically, Karveena is portrayed as a tall, muscular woman with dark skin, often clad in armor that resembles a fusion of traditional warrior attire and futuristic elements. Her design emphasizes both strength and agility, reflecting her role as a warrior-princess. In gameplay, she utilizes a mix of melee combat techniques, including swordplay and grappling moves, as well as a signature move involving a spinning kick.

Her backstory explores themes of family, power, and rebellion. Unlike her father, who is often portrayed as a tyrant, Karveena appears to have a more complex relationship with him, balancing loyalty with her own ambitions. She is also linked to the mystical energy known as the "Soul Realm," which plays a significant role in the series' lore.
