Tenna Kai

[Deleted User (V4)]

Name: Tenna Lucía Kai
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Grade: Senior
School: Bayview Secondary School
Hobbies and Interests: Tenna is, in a word, extroverted. Very social, very talkative and excessively cheery and upbeat. Her primary interest is music, playing or listening, whichever. She enjoys being active and moving, so sports and exercising rank high on her list. Despite that, some of her downtime consists of reading or writing, activities that aren't readily apparent from the way she spends most of her time.

Appearance: Tenna's height is just above average, standing at an even 6'0. Her figure is slim, but not skinny, with a narrow, but not quite pinched waist. Her skin is a light brown color, indicating Hispanic or Latino heritage. The more athletic activities and hobbies she follows ensure a healthy and fit body, with well-muscled arms and a toned stomach. Her chest is a modest size, not too large, not too small. Walking with a bouncing, upbeat step, and with a warm smile always at the ready, Tenna is usually able to cheer up the most stone-faced person.

One of the things most easily recognizable about Tenna, aside from her indomitable cheer, is her array of piercings. Two rings in the left corner of her bottom lip, as well as a matching ring in her right nostril followed by a line of rings on each ear, running along the lobe. Accompanying the more visible rings is a more risque selection, a stud piercing on her right nipple.

Tenna is attractive, but not beautiful, or gorgeous. Still, she can manage to catch an eye if she really wanted. Thin, colorless lips cover meticulously brushed teeth that are always ready for a broad smile. A clear complexion, free of acne or markings of any passing. Her short hair is somewhat spiked, more from careful and precise comb and brush work then any styling gel. It's color, originally black, since dyed dark blue is another thing that stands out on her person. Bangs fall over her forehead, bust stop short of her eyes. Her almond shaped eyes, normally a dull brown, are a matching blue through colored contacts.

Clothing-wise, her style could be referred to as 'goth', were it not for her excessively upbeat attitude to offset that. Her normal outfit consists off what could be considered a dark green sports top, worn over a long sleeve black shirt, with black jeans, covered in superfluous zippers. Her shoes are really more boots, going a few inches past the ankle, leading into the jeans. Accessory wise, numerous belts and bracelets, as well as her standard piercings.

Biography: Tenna is from an upper-lower class Mexican family, born and raised in Bayview. Her parents both worked in the local hospital, her father as a nurse, her mother as a receptionist. It brought in a reasonable amount of money, enough to life in relative comfort. They were never wanting for food, and they maintained a reasonably nice home, a house inherited, so to speak, from her grandfather who had lived there before. They lived in a reasonably nice neighborhood, in a reasonably nice city, with a reasonably nice source of income and a reasonably comfortable life.

Nothing terribly bad has ever happened to her, no life changing accident, no horrible death in her family. Yes, she's had the same inconveniences as everyone else. Struggling with homework, the occasional fight with her parents, trouble with boy's, everything a teenage girl has to deal with. The only death she ever had to deal with was her grandmother's when she was fourteen, which she dealt with exactly how you would expect. Grieving, but putting on a tough smile. Quickly, she accepted her loss and moved on, already going back to the cheerful girl she was.

Beside her constant good spirits, one of the things that's remained constant in her life were her studies. For some one with so many hobbies that would consume so much free time, a surprising amount of time was spent on school work. Part of her effort was at her parents behest, urging her to do well in school and make it to a good college, if only to do better then a nurse or receptionist. Due to their financial situation, her only hope of making it into a high-class school was a scholarship.

So she studied, she grew, and as of her senior year, maintained a 3.7 GPA as well as a large, or at least, satisfying number of friends. She's had few boyfriends in the past, every time putting her off from the dating scene more and more. Already into her senior year, she's all but sworn off men altogether following one disastrous date after another. Despite that, Tenna's cheerful nature allows her to make friends with nearly anyone she wants, and thusly maintains a healthy relationship with a surprising number of people.

Her hobbies are one of the ways she's able to connect with as many people as she does. Through her playing of sports, she comes to grow familiar with a number of the athlete niche, and her musical talents help her reputation with the more musically inclined members of the student body. Even her appearance and writing endears her somewhat to the darker students, personality withstanding. Most of the activities picked up started as ways to pass the time when she wasn't at school or with friends. She bought her first guitar with money earned from a job at a local book store, and her interest in music evolved from there. Sports, on the other hand, was more of a practical choice. She wanted a way to keep fit while keeping her interest, and sports were the practical choice.

Advantages: Tenna is quick, fit, and agile. She packs a decent punch, without being overly strong. She's also intelligent, but not exactly clever. Her cheerful demeanor is disarming to those not used to it, and those that are are usually relaxed by it. Related to that, she maintains a wide and diverse circle of friends who might be worthy of her trust in a tense situation.
Disadvantages: She's somewhat naive, and easy to trust others, even if she knows that she shouldn't. While intelligent, her common sense is lacking, and it might get in her in trouble when she doesn't think things through. Should the situation require it, she could find herself hesitating in the use of violence. Though not a pacifist, the execution of actual violence is an alien concept to her.
