I've a bit of issue with Mileena's writing in the Kahn coin au especially when it's comes to her backstory. But today I find a solution. What if I merged both of her origins stories. From Midway timeline and the NRS trilogy.
In the Midway timeline Mileena was created some time after Edenia was conquered and she and Kitana grew up together as sisters. In the NRS trilogy Mileena was a recent creation and she and kitana did not grew up together since her only purpose was to replace her.
So here the new idea that I propose. Kitana and Mileena grew up together but there was multiple Mileena's clone through out Kitana's life. Since Shang Tsung haven't been able to fully master the art of cloning, the Mileena clones just kept on dying. Resulting in each clone with a short lifespan and weak immunity.
Through out this time Kitana just thought that her sister was either missing, kidnapped or sick. But nah she was just straight up expired. With Shang Tsung creating a new clone for the next day.
With each new clone Mileena's memories would be updated. Although lacking the whole dying part. In Mk9 Shang Tsung had finally fixed his biggest issue with the clones and was able to get Mileena suited with the Edenian's longevity. Unfortunately it happened on the same day that Kitana learnt the truth. She found the new clone in the flesh pits and mistake it for a abomination. Shang Tsung revealed the truth.
Feeling betrayed and filled with anger Kitana rejects her sister. She brought Shang Tsung to the Emperor for judgement. But as all know Shao congratulates the sorcerer and reveals the truth of Kitana. But in all fairness Shao Kahn wasn't mentally well that day. He had finally combated the voice's influences but that cost him his intellect and sanity.
In his unwell state Shao Kahn has Kitana sentence to execution and proudly proclaim Mileena as his true daughter. Filled with anguish at Kitana's betrayal Mileena becomes fully obedient to Shao Kahn believing it to be her only purpose in life.
As for the purpose of Mileena's creation, she was created to kept a close eye on Kitana in case she would one day learn of truth of her realm and betray Shao Kahn. Beyond that she pretty much useless. The Tarkatan dna made Mileena more obedient and her blood thirst nature and ferocity made her an excellent assassin. Contrary to her sister Kitana.
I guess in a strange way this makes Mileena's origins all the more tragic since it pretty much clear that she was nothing but a experimental tool since the beginning and has more experience with death than any other character. Beside Geras. On and another tragedy on the twist is that Shao never loved Mileena. He always loved Kitana more.

A better look at my MK2 Raiden Cosplay. Made everything but the shoes and the blind out contacts I'm wearing.

Mileena: Wow, you actually were telling the truth.
Shang Tsung: I do that quite a lot, yet people are always surprised.
