I saw a post talking about reworking Sonya and it made me want to do one for Cassie.

For her backstory, instead of being Johnny’s kid with Sonya, she’s Johnny’s estranged kid from a relationship he was in before he was famous. Growing up in poverty, knowing her father was a celebrity, Cassie grew to deeply resent her dad. When she was a teenager, her mother died, and she had to resort to a life of crime to survive. Upon learning that her dad was a champion of Liu Kang, which she discovered by seeing a social media post from Johnny, she embarks on a quest to expose him for abandoning her.

Personality-wise, she still make a lot of jokes and quips, but she’s much crueler and more mean-spirited than her past version.

Her appearance is similar to her alt costume from MKX, but the blue and white is swapped with gold and dark red. Her hair is still blond, but because Sonya isn’t her mother, it’s dyed blonde and she has visibly darker roots.

In combat, she’s mostly a no-nonsense brawler. Like Johnny, she no longer has green energy powers, but she keeps her pistols and her baton from MKX. Similarly to Kano in MK11, she uses a lot of dirty and cheap tactics in her moveset like sand in the eyes, throwing glass bottles, and anything that makes her seem like a real scumbag.
