Since Sonya is apparently confirmed, what do you think should be, or will be, Cassie's role in the story? It's pretty obvious that some people had this really simplistic scenario of Cassie taking over as the blonde military gal, even following in her mother's footsteps of chasing Kano. But Sonya's return will probably throw a wrench in those plans, heh heh.

But as for the possibilities, a few come to mind.

1) The aforementioned scenario will actually happen, however, Sonya will still get a chapter of her own, before being eventually killed like Kung Lao in MK9 prior to the invasion, all of that prior to Cassie growing up. A much better way of making Cassie her successor, as she wouldn't be cheaply killed in some cutscene like Motaro. But even if she succeeds Sonya, that doesn't mean she should be stuck fighting her mother's battle against Kano. Cassie should kill Kano, then truly become her own character, with her own goals and foes, instead of Sonya 2.0.

2) Cassie will be her own woman, with a story that isn't limited to succeeding her parents, or even have anything to do with that. Sonya will still be active even as an older woman, and might even get two chapters, one as her currently young self, the other as her older self. And for all we know, Cassie could even come in conflict with one, or both of her parents.

3) Some idea I've read from a few posters, that essentially casts Sonya in the role of Bi-Han, and Cassie in Kuai Liang's. In short, Noobizing Sonya. If I ever prayed for something not to happen, this would be the time. Unless it was the other way around.

Even if Cassie turns out to be little more than a replacement for Sonya, I'm glad that that isn't set in stone yet. That I can still hope for something a little more interesting. And with Sonya and Johnny back, we can already see Cassie fight them, so there's definitely that, at least.
