Imperatrix Sindel

I've been resisting the urge to make a thread for ages but listen, I'm a big Sindel fan if you didn't get the memo from the username and the icon and so on and so forth. And she's in MKX. So... a thread!
I was ultimately provoked by Ed Boon's Mother's Day tweet about Sindel: https://twitter.com/noobde/status/597413318912008192 (Ominous! Watch her back for what? Are Liu Kang and Kitana plotting against her? Are they going to destroy her to have no other threat to the throne of the Netherrealm? Is this just Ed being a troll as always?)
What do people think about Sindel as DLC? We've had a lot of talk about Rain and Baraka but not as much about the third Story Mode potential NPC-to-PC promotion. I know Sindel's not as popular a character as those two boys, but I think she looks absolutely beautiful in this game. Similar to the MK9 design, but it's more refined and regal. Plus her face looks soooo much better -- Edenians are eternally youthful, why did she look like Cloris Leachman in MK9? Apart from the whole being-a-zombie thing and the fact that NRS still can't make long hair that doesn't look like toothpaste it's my favorite Sindel look ever.
Ed Boon and the writers seem to be fond of Sindel, given the highly controversial Earthrealm-gets-curbstomped abattoir sequence in MK9 and her status as the only non-playable revenant to be fightable in MKX. Do you think she'll be in if there's another round of DLC? Do you think she'll be back in MKXI?
In the original timeline she was a pretty integral character, but in this new timeline I'm not sure. Obviously a lot comes down to whether or not Edenia is in play. It'd be interesting if she were restored to life and ended up being the one fighting Dark Empress Kitana for control of it -- maybe with the help of Tanya and Rain, her old timeline enemies. They like that kind of switcheroo reversal stuff in this new timeline.
