 You've been looking for me, Scarlet. Sonya Blade calling in air support. Sonya Blade was the first like kick-ass girl that I saw come onto the scene and I've always admired her and admittedly kind of emulated her and you know, my own way and now I get to try and be her. The first time I can remember playing Mortal Kombat, my mom was a college professor and one of her students actually let me play and I was complete like button masher but I was rated and I beat him as rated and it was like the first time that I beat an adult and like anything. Yeah, I thought it was like the absolute coolest. Sonya character has been really different and really interesting and fun because I don't have to think about how I look and only about how I sound. It almost gives me permission to be as ridiculous as humanly possible because no one's looking and no one's judging and all that matters is what it sounds like. Feels so good to say. I've been a fan of Mortal Kombat for almost as long as I can remember. We're a little kid, I love me some gore. What drew me to Mortal Kombat? Honestly, it was the first game that had like real intrigue of just more than okay, I'm gonna hit this guy, he's gonna hit me and who wins. It wasn't just like who's the better fighter. It was why is this person mad at that person and this and that. It just drew me in to think about more than just fighting but the world that they live in and yeah, it's been a great experience being Sonya Blade.
