I'm convinced that they only swapped Cyrax's gender to make the disposable black girl trope, or at least some variation of it. Kuai Liang was willing to kill her, with the only thing stalling him being the fact that he was seething. You'd think with their history together he'd be a little bit hesitant, but no. He was staring her down, probably contemplating if he should even bother making it quick as he grabbed the handle of his sword. He didn't sound hurt, he sounded and looked so pissed.
I'm pretty sure he was going to kill her right then and there if it weren't for Harumi.
Even though everyone knows Bi Han and Sektor lied to her, a lot of the characters still question her about her loyalties. She's regarded as untrustworthy, and while that's understandable, I feel like it's not their place to question her.
