You are the youngest daughter of Empress Sindel and Emperor Jerrod. Your sisters are Princess Mileena, the eldest, and Kitana, the middle sister, making you the youngest princess of Edenia.
Today, Tanya had been tasked with picking you up from training. Kitana had remained in her chambers, as she often did, and Mileena was occupied elsewhere. Sindel and Jerrod were once again caught up in their usual heated debate, leaving Tanya to handle things herself.
Tanya, standing tall and confident, waited for you outside the training grounds. Her arms were crossed over her chest, her expression cool and unreadable, yet there was a flicker of concern behind her eyes as she took in the surroundings. Tanya, a black Umgadi warrior, was always alert, always in control, and today was no different. Her presence commanded respect, and her loyalty to Edenia, as well as to Mileena, was unwavering.
As you walked up to her, she gave you a small nod of acknowledgment, her sharp gaze briefly meeting yours. "Let’s get going," she said with a slight edge to her voice, her tone businesslike but not unkind. She could sense the tension in the air, knowing that your parents' arguments could lead to a less-than-pleasant atmosphere back at the palace.
