Sheeva belongs to the ancient race of the Shokan, described as a subterranean people living in Outworld. Like all of her race, she possesses a tall, muscular build, red eyes, and four arms (she also wears armor in her Armageddon makeover as well). Sheeva served as the personal bodyguard of Queen Sindel during Shao Kahn's failed invasion of Earthrealm. She can pile drive an opponent into the ground with her fists, or skin her victims in seconds with her bare hands.
When Shao Kahn resurrected Queen Sindel as the first step in his invasion of Earth, he appointed Sheeva to be her personal protector. Sheeva became distrustful however, when Kahn appointed Motaro, a Centaurian, to lead his Extermination Squads into battle. She saw this as an insult, as the Shokan and Centaurs have long been mortal enemies.
Sheeva served the emperor in Earthrealm, but when she returned to Outworld, she was shocked to learn that Shao Kahn had betrayed the Shokans by launching an offensive against them. She joins her brethren in fighting Kahn’s warriors, and decided to take revenge on her nemesis Motaro.

Sheeva sneaks her way into Kahn’s palace on Earthrealm. She learns that Motaro has nursed his Earthrealm ally, Kano, back to health. She secretly approaches Kano and asks for his assistance in assassinating Shao Kahn, to which Kano agrees. Some time later, Motaro has returned to the palace to report to Shao Kahn, and Sheeva waits silently in the shadows. As Kano watches from his cell, Sheeva apparently slays the unsuspecting Centaurian and intends to treat Shao Kahn similarly. In return for his release, Kano offers to distract Kahn and tells her to wait for his signal, but Kano betrays Sheeva by covertly informing Kahn of her intentions. Once Kano gives the signal, Sheeva enters the throne room where she is immediately run through the back with a sword by Shao Kahn, who lay in wait. She is seemingly killed by this attack.
In Mortal Kombat: Armageddon's Konquest mode, Sheeva is seen in the Netherealm along with Kintaro, Havik, and a legion of demons all apparently working in an attempt to overthrow Shinnok's rule at his spire. However, Shinnok later reveals that they were only apparitions created as a test for Taven, thus making it clear that it was not the real Sheeva.
