Kenna (Character Description).

Name: Kenna.

In the far east of Faerun - in Kara-Tur - word 'Ken' means: 'Sword' and 'Na' means: 'No'.

Use the Sword or not?

She was so peace-loving girl that parents told her she should become a warrior-ess.
Only a peace-loving people can wield weapons responsibly, after all.

'Na' at the end of a sentence also means seeking confirmation, learning.
In this case it implies following the Way of the Sword (Ken-na), becoming One with the chosen weapon.

'Na' is also related to 'Onna', which means: 'woman'.
So, the word-suffix 'Na' is also a sort of a feminine form too.

Age: 24.
Gender: Female.
Alignment: Lawful Neutral.
Race: Human.
Class: Monk (8) / Fighter (2) / Weaponmaster (5).


Character Concept:

1. Martial Artist able to fight well with Katana Sword, eiter in armour or without it.
2. Woman from Kill Bill film (played by Uma Thurman).

Character's Background:

Born in Damara near Narfell, at her age of 18 she went on pilgrimage to Kara-Tur where she met Teacher who taught her Martial Arts as the way to Enlightenment. At her age of 24, she returned to west, to Narfell.


Description:

Small yet athletic build, this young woman seems carefree - calm and happy. Open to befriending others, as well as ready to help everyone a little. She can be seen wearing either training outfit or armour. She has simple yet beautiful Katana sword in a sheath at her belt.


Spirituality:

- Tempus, Lord of Battles (god of war, primarily concerned with honorable battle, forbidding cowardice and encouraging the use of force of arms to settle disputes),
- Red Knight (deity of strategy and battle tactics).

More than deity worshiping, she also meditates and seeks liberation (from suffering) and elightenment - as many people in kara-tur do.

Praying makes her more violent, more fierce. Meditation brings peace and calmness.
