Scars	Given her job as a tribe striker in her hunting party, she has more than a few scars and she carries them as trophies from particularly violent and dangerous hunts. The most obvious of these rests across the bridge of her nose.
Clothing	She doesn't wear much; in fact, she will dress in as little as she can without inviting city authorities to arrest her for public indecency. T'kkele can most often be seen in a length of fine cerulean samite wound around her chest and leather pants made from the hide of the first Amalj'aa she ever killed. When preparing to call the rain, she dons a variety of colourful bead bracelets and gold trinkets draped with gil that tinkle and chime when she dances.

Core Motivator	Her motivation involves becoming the greatest at whatever she decides to do. T'kkele thinks she has a great deal to prove and she is the sort of person who wants to rub all of her achievements in the faces of those she believes spited her.
Fears	She both fears and believes that being kind to others only opens one up to a metaphorical knife in the back. As far as she is concerned, people are only out for themselves and their own pleasures, and they will do whatever they can to achieve their ends... and if that means hurting the people they profess to "love," then they will not think twice about the pain they cause. Letting people inside to see the reality of the person she is terrifies T'kkele and she will scramble to hurt others before they can hurt her. T'kkele is terrified of deep water. She loves baths, will gladly go swimming in ponds in which she can see to the bottom, but deep, dark water will send her running for the nearest hiding place where she can huddle and tremble. Possibly even cry. Heights. T'kkele hates heights and it isn't uncommon for her to become physically ill when subjected to them. Similarly, she is not fond of the ocean, either. Failure.
Greatest Accomplishment	She wavers between believing she has not yet accomplished great feats and feeling that her solitary kill of an Amalj'aa priest was her crowning glory. To be fair, she also thinks that striking out on her own and leaving her tribe after a disastrous attempt at a relationship was probably one of her better ideas, as well.
Greatest Regret	Loving anyone. That includes her mother and her siblings.
IC SKILLS
IC Profession	Adventurer. Mercenary.
Combat Style	Quick and agile, she strikes surprisingly hard for her small size. After years of hunting the various wildlife and beast men around the Sagolii, she's developed an expansive knowledge of anatomy and she generally knows where and how to hit to do critical damage to her foes. While she is not a master of any weapon, she is capable and talented with several, including throwing knives. But her preference lies in close quarters combat.
Physical Advantages	Given her short stature and turn of speed, T'kkele can be difficult to hit. She also fights dirty and will not hesitate to exploit any weaknesses she can find. Despite her hot temper and frequent bouts of impulsiveness, she can make for a reasonable strategist when she bothers to pause and think about things for a moment.

Family

T'xian Nunh

Relation: Father.♦ Standing: Neutral. ♦ Status: Alive.

Brief character description: T'xian Nunh is the current leader of the T tribe in the southern Sagolii. Stern and no-nonsense, he believes wholeheartedly that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. When it comes to alignments, he falls under the "lawful neutral" category. T'xian takes his role as headman so seriously that it is rumoured among the kittens that he never smiles. Some even whisper that his face is carved from stone.
Squat and well-muscled from his years treading the sands in search of prey to bring back to the tribe, his skin is so dark that he might pass for a runty Amalj'aa -- the black walnut flesh is offset by a head full of stark white hair bleached by the harsh sun. His narrow eyes are green as gooseberries and thanks to the stress of keeping his people well-fed and safe, his once-silken fur has become coarse as low-grade sand.

Family

T'khanki Fyore.

Relation: Mother. ♦ Standing: Bad/Complicated. ♦ Status: Alive.

Brief character description: Tribal medicine woman and healer, T'khanki is an aging cat who has both watched her fair share of nunh rise and fall, and borne children for five of them. Strict and taciturn, she has never seen eye to eye with her youngest kit for the pair of them are far too much alike to be able to get along. She still has yet to forgive her youngest child for abandoning her duties in the tribe. T'khanki demands and expects a great deal from not only herself but the people around her and her high expectations often strain her relationships with others. For all that she has little patience for mischief and antics in her twilight years, she is an excellent healer and it is rumoured that she can see visions in the celebratory bonfires -- things no one else can see. Some believe she catches glimpses of the spirit world.
Tall and lean, skinny as a sapling, T'khanki's almond skin is contrasted by scarlet curls that are quickly being overtaken by grey. Her wide, slanted eyes are a rich amethyst, a trait that T'kkele inherited.
