I see some fics that paint the Lin Kuei members as kinda fiercely independent lone wolf kinda "fend for yourselves" folk. I just can't imagine that this is the case.

If your whole clan lives in an environment as hostile as a frozen landscape, you get tight-knit and codependent real REAL fast or you die.

We actually never see any of them doing the lone wolf thing until the betrayal at Ying Fortress. Up until that point, we never see any of them moving alone - they're always in a pack.

Even after that point, they're all still moving in a group: Sub-Zero's group just now includes Sektor and Cyrax, whereas Scorpion's group now includes Smoke and Harumi and an army of offscreen orphans.

I do think the Lin Kuei are caring and very attentive to each other's needs and obstacles. I don't think they're so fiercely independent or have an "only the strong deserve to survive" mentality. I think they rely on each other for strength, and that's what makes the Ying Fortress fight so tragic: they can no longer rely upon one another, and thus all of them are far more defenseless because of that.
