Mileena, having lost her mother Sindel recently, is feeling rather down in the dumps. Her sister is too busy to console her because she is off fighting Outwords civil war as it's head general so she is stuck here. And add insult to injury she is suffering from Tarkat, a disease which can randomly turn her teeth to large fangs, her eyes to slits and her nails long and sharp. The now Empress is strong, some may describe her as a tomboy, strong but not the perfect person for political decisions.
