Physical Description: Tenaya is of slender build, well-conditioned but not over-muscled. She carries herself with an air of confidence and grace, the result of studying dance when she was younger. Her agile fingers are well-adapted to picking pockets. Her face is quite expressive and her eyes especially tell her emotions. She has long brown hair that she tends to wear down as a way to provide some privacy when wearing what the locals consider 'clothes.'

Professional History:

Background: Tenaya came from a stable home, the only daughter of intergalactic merchants. She as a happy child, loved and doted over, living well but not extravagantly, she was not spoiled. A typical girl, she did well in school, had a small circle of friends, studied dance, gymnastics and music. On occasion she would travel with her parents on excursions to find unique items, furniture and such. Even though she was expected to continue her studies, she enjoyed discovering new places, and has a sense of adventure.

It was on one of these trips that her life changed. For many years, her parents had remained neutral, going about their business while trying not to get involved in the wars, but eventually attacks on friends and shipments convinced them to side with the Rebels. Still, they maintained the face of neutrality while smuggling goods for the Rebel cause. But on a trip to Tel'Thranan their ruse was discovered and while Tenaya was gone for the evening, Imperial troops murdered her parents, blowing the ship they were traveling on in the process...

There was nothing to come home to, and Tenaya was wracked with guilt...she had snuck away to 'celebrate' her seventeenth birthday, and held herself responsible for the attack, or at least for not dying with her family. Having next to nothing, she took the the streets, learning to make her way however she could, begging and stealing. She has developed a knack for surviving, has learned the skills of picking locks and picking pockets, at least well enough to get by, and she has been saving for passage home...or anywhere but this place.

Personality: Possessed with a bravado that masks her lack of confidence, Tenaya is defiant, angry and melancholy. She can put up whatever appearance she thinks is expected of her, and on occasion, she is even nice and caring. As much as she has hardened herself for what she has to do, she is still an insecure teen, looking for love, and a home, and worrying about appearances...She hates the Alliance for getting her parents involved in the rebellion, and hates the Imperials for killing them.

Vehicle of Choice: whatever she can find

Base Of Operations:

Weapons: Carries a small dagger but has no training with it.

Form of Dress: Whatever she can steal! She tries to blend in, using the preferred dress, although she despises the local dress that is so revealing, so she wears her hair long to cover her breasts, such as they are! She wears a silver cross inset with a few rubies, a present for her seventeenth birthday from her parents.

Superhuman Powers or Augmentations to Body: None

Abilities: Has a knack for 'reading' people, an intuitive sense of good from bad. Coupled with an ability to pull off any role she needs to get what she wants, she has a fair ability to con people.
