Personality & History

Personality

Kendra has an outwardly stoic demeanor towards most, but she also has a strong temper. When someone challenges her—even when she only thinks they're challenging her—she refuses to ever back down. She prides herself on her intelligence, efficiency, and ability to succeed. She idolizes superheroes, and wishes to be just like them. Despite her stoic exterior, she is quite the nerd.

Hobbies and Interests
  • Painting
  • Inking
  • Calligraphy
  • Ice hockey
  • Writing (mainly fantasy, romance and cartoon fanfic)
  • Philology (especially etymology)
  • Literary analysis
Mannerisms
  • She is very physically affectionate and enjoys spending time with those she cares about.
  • At times, she will punctuate her sentences verbally or speak in punctuation. For example, she may say "question mark" when confused.
  • She greatly dislikes sudden loud noises, engine/mechanical noises, and loud electronic music. Noisy crowds are also an issue for her.
  • She is easily distracted by soft textures and squishy (but not slimy) objects.
  • When passionate about something, she speaks with her hands.
  • When uncomfortable with something or unsure, she will take a step backward. Sometimes, she will also clutch her wrist.
  • In yaket form, she is almost always hunched in some way unless she is sitting. Part of this is so that she is ready to spring up at any moment, but it's also because she just has bad posture.

History

Kendra was born to two komtiren (The Yakom's equivalent to police). Her parents died when she was young, and she was taken in by a family friend, Slade, who happened to be a Yaktomir (high level politician). Slade taught her to fight, and when he asked her to help him take out his enemies, she eagerly accepted. But when one of those enemies turned out to be Jaes, her high school hockey rival, she rethought everything. She left Slade to find the truth, and ended up working with Jaes and his allies.

Relationships

Allies
  • Bloodfang: Kendra hated and distrusted Bloodfang at first, but after learning why she did the things she did, grew to respect and admire her.
  • Natara: Kendra respects Nat and trusts her because Jaes trusts her.
  • Jaes: Kendra viewed Jaes as a rival during high school hockey, but held great respect for him. Now, she holds that same respect, but with much less rivalry.
Foes
  • Slade: Kendra could never hate Slade. He raised her and taught her everything she knows. But she can't stand beside him anymore.
