Physical Description:
Leena is a female about 5 foot, 10 inches tall, very lean in body form. She looks athletic and deadly, and at the same time seductive, curvaceous and very aware of it. She has a wild mane of fire red hair and cat-like green eyes. She can go from wild and sexy to cold and deadly in the blink of an eye. She also has very pale china-doll like skin. A conventional beauty with a wild cat twist. Leena's outfit of choice for everyday is a lightweight formfitting bodysuit (various colours and ranges of flesh revealing dependant on function and mood)with a well worn, once black, leather motorcycle/bomber jacket and black leather thigh-high stiletto boots. Leena is just as comfortable in full formal evening wear as she is in motorcycle leathers.
Personality:
Leena doesn't trust easily. She's been hurt in the past and is now distant where others are concerned. Her only friend at this point is her white Bengal tiger Tianna (Ti for short), the two are inseparable. Leena is a good person and is very kind and even out of her way helpful towards the innocent and helpless (animals and children especially) but still she is shut down emotionally, not allowing anyone close. Leena is the same in her personal (romantic) life. She keeps men at a distance emotionally but at the same time uses her sexuality and sensuality to get what she needs and wants.
Background History:
Leena's parents where zoologists focused on all forms of cats breeds. As a family they moved from research location to location and Leena was never without a pet for a friend (in some more remote locations they were her only friends). When Leena was about 14 her parents died under *suspicious* conditions while researching some wild cats in Africa. after that Leena was bounced around between family and then foster homes till she finally left and wandered on her own for a while. Tianna (only a cub at the time of Leena's parents death) went with Leena everywhere. Sometimes the family would welcome the tiger into the house and family but that was only when she was a cute cub and before she broke something. It was usually the ultimatum of "that cat goes or you both go" that brought Leena to the next home. Once Leena was 16 she left the latest foster home and she and Tianna went out on their own. Living off her inheritance left her by her parents Leena explored the world and learned about Ti and the world of animals as well as learning about her own strengths. Leena found a mentor who taught her about animals and how to communicate with them and find their strengths in her. This Master told her about the school and said she could stand to learn much by going there to learn. So with Ti at her side, Leena rides her bike to the school and registers to learn to use the power within her.
Strengths:
Speed - Ability to run faster than others, faster movements, can execute fast hitting combos and fast moves
Animal Kin - Ability to talk to animals, train them, have familiars, tap into animal instincts within soul and become more bestial
Weaknesses:
Some say that her distance toward people is a weakness. That having no friends and no bonds will hold her back. That not allowing emotion to fuel her a little could be a setback to learning about her inner strengths.
Equipment:
Leena also has a large bank account and a very large wardrobe.
Moves:
Tianna fights side by side with Leena.
Leena can command Tianna to attack in any way instinctual to the feline (pounce, claw, hold by clamping the throat with her teeth etc). Leena herself can also leap and pounce like a cat as well as claw her opponent. She will learn more moves as she discovers the power of the animals within her.
