Dominant hand: Left

Scars: A host of small scars all over her body, even some on her scales. Her left horn has a nick about the size of an unshelled peanut out of it.
Tattoos: Nothing permanent, but depending on holidays or times of important (i.e.; a time of mourning) Tenaki does decorate her body with henna tattoos or war paint.
Most Noticeable Features: The “100% done” look in her face usually hits people before the eyes, the heart shaped face or the horns do -- despite her slight stature, Tenaki has a loud non-physical profile.
CHILDHOOD

Birth weight/height: Unknown
Manner of birth: Natural
First words: "Soooobie” - her attempt to say the name of her father, Tsubodai.

Parents: Tsubodia of the Dotharl (deceased); Sarise of the Dotharl (deceased)
Parental involvement: As strong as parental influence tends to be on the steppes, prior to their deaths.
ADULT LIFE
Occupation: Captain (Chirugeon) within the Maelstrom; Head Chirugeon for the Coeurl’s Coffer
Current residence: Has an apartment in the Lavender Beds, but frequently passes out in her office.
Close friends: I’Shanna Bhen, Kaede Nolan and Thomas Hayward are her closest friends. Close behind these come Alexander Rendon, Rauffe Bell, Lukas Goodwill and Niwa Yasuraoka. She likes a number of the other Coeurl’s, but not enough to consider herself close to them, given that they are patients and she is a very closed off individual.
Relationship status: Extremely single.
Financial status: Very comfortable.
Vices: Tenaki would posit that due to her busy lifestyle she has none.
SEX & ROMANCE
Sexual orientation: Bisexual
Romantic orientation: Homoromantic
Preferred emotional role: submissive | dominant | switch | unsure (preferably none)
Preferred sexual role: submissive | dominant | switch | sex repulsed | unsure
Libido: Comes around once in a while, but she rarely indulges it.
Turn ons: Tenaki is a study in contradictions, given that she’s a bisexual switch and likes a whole lot of things, but the list includes (not being limited to); assertiveness (from the right person), submissiveness (from the right person), soft touches, roughness, quiet souls, comfort in another, intelligence (or at least common sense), strong arms.
Love language: Tenaki hasn’t quite developed a love language of her own, yet, since she’s so closed off, but one could argue the way she berates her friends to keep safe and tells them off when they’re not taking proper care of themselves, acting like a nagging mother hen is the closest you’re going to get to love from the spiky little lizard.
Relationship tendencies: Lighting a branch on fire and beating relationships away, mostly.
MISCELLANEOUS
Hobbies to pass the time: Study, research and spending time with Frumpkin. Honestly, she has almost no free time that requires passing, so it doesn’t come up terribly often.
Mental illnesses: PTSD
Physical illnesses/disabilities: Short-sighted.
Left or right brained: Left brained.
Fears: Parenthood, commitment, letting people down, letting someone die (again), being taken advantage of.
Self-confidence level: Usually very self-confident.
Vulnerabilities: Due to her lack of self-preservation, targeting her friends is a sure fire away to get past her defenses, but it usually ends badly.
