Kena’merh Merai Altera Excena Astris (true/birth name)
Main character (one of many)
pink
none
She wears her hair semi short, in a weird half ponytail, her bangs sweeping to the right and sort of framing her face
silver/grey with pinkish highlights
6 foot 4 inches
Crescent tattoo on forehead, vine like tattoos framing her face from the crescent
Lithe. Not much fat, but enough to hide muscles despite her being very athletic
174 lbs
Her skin tone is grey with a very faint dull purple tint to it
She is Eldari. Specifically, Konari Eldari
dancing, contortion. She also supposedly used to sing, though that is not confirmed. One thing she cannot do is cook worth a damn
She suffers from night terrors related to her father's death, to the point that she used to require heavy medication. She also suffers from an at times severe form of ADD, though it is most noticeable during social engagements that make her anxiety flare up greatly.
She also tends to fixate on specific things, towards the point of obsession.
She also has to deal with a severe amount of self loathing, though this is mostly due to her mother's general lack of proper parenting, so Kena doesn't feel like she will ever measure up properly.
Cocks her head often. tends to not be very open to people, but also a little to overly zealous when she latches onto a person.
Smiles. A lot. Her smiles are usually of three kinds: Genuine, small or full smiles; fake, almost too wide smiles that creep people out; or sad, half smiles
She is motivated by several things: her sense of duty as a member of the royal guard, her willfulness, and her desire to 'find out who she really is' as a person to name the most important
she is ignorant about non Eldari customs, and slightly xenophobic. Due to her species' longevity, she also comes off as arrogant. She is also inept in certain social engagements, i.e. solstice ceremonies, various other eldari celebrations.
Like all other Eldari, she exhibits a slight degree of xenophobia that arises from her longevity and her race being among the oldest beings in the universe. though, it's not so much xenophobia as it is arrogance and overconfidence in her race. Like all Eldari, she knows that she is effectively immortal, that she will experience many more lifetimes than most other beings. And those facts, combined with her species' culture and history, tends to lead to many things that could be construed as xenophobia.
In reality, she is one of the more progressive Eldari.
Among other Eldari, however, she does show a high degree of suspicion and mistrust towards the Hokolu Eldari, mainly due to their history as the more heretical of the three Eldari races.
sleeping in some of her furniture, helping her cousin An'ett in her garden
while upbeat, she exudes a air of uncertainty and self doubt, something that reflects her inner depression and self loathing. Very few people get to see her 'real' personality, instead being shown a false front
Fifth day of Merai in the Nyxxi cycle (circa BCE. 30 January)
Royal Eldari Naval Guard Academy
Of note, she has one massive pet named chala. It's like a cross between a dog and a bear, but the size of a hippo
Kena would have only been 100-200 years old (equivalent to about 1-2 years old) at the time of her father's death
Due to trauma from watching her mother kill her father (assisted suicide, unknown to Kena), much of her dreams are nightmares that necessitate heavy sleeping medication nightly. In recent years, however, she has been able to go some nights without taking said medication. Though, she rarely dreams anymore.
She has two different types of sleeping: like a log for up to 13 hours(reserved for when she is traveling on the Mu'le-do), and multiple short naps throughout the day when at the Palace.

d'raayn-iul'ka (giant armored dog-like beast used traditionally for warfare)
She always carries two weapons with her- her sword that looks like a broken cavalry saber, and a rapid-fire laz-pistol
The collar/choker her father gave her is by far her most cherished item, to the point that even though it has been virtually destroyed several times, she would get it repaired instead of replaced. It is a pink orchid coloured silk-like band with a red gemstone mined by her father inset in a palladium-tungsten alloy ring.
Cake, steak, jerky
