the pinnacle of the series," while UGO named the both "busty ninja sisters" as front characters of the franchise. Like Chun-Li from Street Fighter, Mileena also quickly became a popular among female audience, including the actress Samantha Jo when she was a child. In 1996, Reyda Seddiki from French magazine Player One noted that the "wickedly gracious" Mileena has always been his preference of all the characters since her introduction. The Birthday Massacre vocalist Chibi (Sara Elaine Taylor) described Mileena as one of her "heroes" when she announced her plan of getting a tribute tattoo, saying she likes her "because she's pretty insane and vicious and seems like she'd be very attractive, but then has this mouth full of heinous sharp teeth." Rapper Princess Nokia (Destiny Frasqueri) also listed Mileena among her favourite female game characters. UGO rated Mileena 17th on their 2012 list of the top 50 Mortal Kombat characters, citing her then-rare presence as an evil female player character (a taboo-breaking novelty in video games at the time of her 1993 MKII debut) while stating that her brutal attacks and "slutty" outfits made her a fan favorite. Den of Geek placed Mileena fifth (14 spots ahead of Kitana) in their 2015 rating of the series' 73 playable characters. IGN, in 2011, listed her as one of the series' "four main characters" alongside mainstays Liu Kang, Scorpion and Sub-Zero. Anurag Ghosh and Bill Fulks of Bright Hub included her among the top ten "awesome" Mortal Kombat characters as well as one of the sexiest ("second only to the gorgeous Kitana"), and CraveOnline's Dread Central called her "without question" one of the "most beloved" characters in the Mortal Kombat universe. Fans voted her the series' 20th greatest character in a 2013 online poll hosted by Dorkly. Marcin Górecki of Secret Service placed her ninth on his list of the best female fighters in the fighting genre's history in 1996. Looks, attitude and finishing moves Reception to the character's conflicting looks and psychotic and later (in the 2011 reboot) also childish behavior has been mixed, though with elements such as her sexual allure and shock value well received, particularly in regards to her Fatalities. GamesRadar UK recalled about Mortal Kombat II: "we had two nigh-identical twins of svelte, slinky sex and gore...But then Milly took off her mask and it all went wrong. Horribly, nightmarishly, ball-shrinkingly wrong." As told by Joey
