Backstory:
(Tbh, I have mixed feelings about Megan's backstory, but I hope y'all enjoy 💙)
Like pretty much all her AUs and past timeline, Megan lived a pretty cozy and normal life.
After finishing college, Megan decided to move out of her mother’s house and move to China.
Megan had first gone during a college trip to learn about the folklore and mythology there.
Megan grew to love the place, learning the language and all to prepare herself for when she could finally move there.
Once Megan has moved in, Megan decides to walk around the town a little, saying hello to neighbors and such.
While walking amongst the town, Megan stumbles upon some sort of festival.
At the festival, Megan happens to meet a handsome shopkeeper, who was selling some sort of potions and stuff.
At first Megan’s intention was to just stroll by, seeing if there was anything interesting that he was selling. Megan was about to leave, not seeing too much of interest to her, until the shop’s owner stepped out.
“See anything of interest, my dear?” The shop owner's voice catches Megan’s attention, causing her to look up, blushing at his appearance (Shang is in his younger appearance).
“Umm… Now that you mention it, I think I do…” Megan blushes, trying her best at flirting.
Megan’s flirting seems to work (at least somewhat) as the shopkeeper smirks.
The two then talk for a bit, Megan explaining her time in the U.S. and why she moved, and stuff like that.
“You know, my house isn’t that far from here if you ever want to visit, Shang Tsung.”

Earthrealm | Shapeshifter | Artist

From the night sky, Hikari emerged as a fallen star into Earthrealm, possessing unique powers and an unclear purpose. With no home or family, Hikari attempted to fend for themself all alone, but they finally found a home as they were taken under Madam Bo's wing. They may not have found their purpose, but the light that guided them knew that this was only the beginning.
BACKSTORIES AND PERSONALITY UNDER THE CUT
Personality
Hikari is rather shy and withdrawn, often avoiding conflict at any given moment. Nobody really hears them talk, so it often catches people by surprise whenever they actually use their voice. This doesn't mean they're entirely anti-social, seeing as whenever they open up to people, they become a lot more chatty and bright.
Backstory
Hikari has two versions of their backstory, as they're more of an open-ended character — a self insert, a blank canvas for me to write whatever I want. This isn't just a choice as a creator and stuff, but also part of their lore as well.
As I mentioned in my Kombatober angst post, an outer force had reset the timeline. That outer force is me, rewriting the story for my own indulgence. It's like if our fanfics and fan-created stuff actually applied to the MK1 universe. I like to reimagine scenarios and storylines in my head, so I applied doing that to the timelines as 'resetting it'. Nobody recollects these resets in the timeline, not even Geras or Liu Kang. Hikari can only faintly remember or recognize events from previous timeline events, but it's a very blurry memory and it's not enough to actually have any weight for them and they never retain these memories long enough for them to piece everything together.
VERSION 1
Nobody really knows Hikari's origins. They literally just fell from the sky and landed in some forest in America. They spent a good chunk of their childhood fending for themself, often finding drawing as an escape from their unfortunate situation.
At around the age of 10, Hikari ends up getting stuck on a cargo boat after looking for food. The boat ended up in China, where they had to once more navigate their strange new place. They eventually find themself in Fengjian, where Madam Bo spots them trying to steal food from the kitchen. She takes them in as her adopted child, raising her alongside Sektor (familiar story, am I right?)
VERSION 2
Hikari falls from the sky (still with unknown origins) but is a full-grown adult rather than a child or something. They land in the Wu Shi academy and is taken in by Liu Kang. He introduces them to the Lin Kuei brothers and becomes recognized as an unofficial member of the clan, seeing as Bi-Han didn't see the value in their powers like others did.
soft launch for my mk1 sona :) their name is hikari , they have no proper backstory . like they literally spawned in lmao . i'll make a more detailed post later
also they are not that small ; i just drew them in chibi bc art block is back again to eat me
send 🍔 for a moodboard of my muses favourite foods.
Megan loves fruit, but she also loves her junk food (an interesting combination lol) though Megan mainly tends to eat mainly fruit and healthier foods, she can't help but love her junk food (which Shang Tsung usually doesn't mind too much, the main time he really minded was when she was pregnant with Cyrus, where he tried to keep as much junk food as he could away from her (it somewhat worked except for the times that Megan caught him lol)).
-----------------------------------
send 🍂 for a moodboard of my muses favourite season.
I was torn between Winter and Autumn as that's the seasons that I like, as well does MK Megan, but I chose Winter bc that's the one that I initially thought of, plus I just thought that MK Megan playing with Cyrus and Shang Tsung (after throwing a snowball at him, forcing him to join lol) in the snow was super adorable.
