Teanna choked at hearing the supportive words of her future companions and feeling a hopeful pang in the depths of her chest, maybe she could befriend these people, maybe... maybe they would accept her, if she made herself useful. At that she slowly removed the baggy cloth covering her features and revealed herself, dark crimson blush on her red cheeks, clack cherry lips and golden eyes, half closed and cast down. But the most striking feature was her horns, sprouting from the top of her forehead, black and ridged like a ram's, and curling back, following the contour of her skull, or at least just the right one, the left being just a bony stump. Her dark hair, shoulder length, was tied in a ponytail, parted on the right so as to allow a length of bangs to cover the stump. Pointy ears twitched lightly at the side of her head, longer than a human's but nothing compared to an elf's.<br/>As the cloth rags concealing her fell to her waist a whip like tail uncurled from around her waist and stretched, relaxing into an S shape lazily moving from side to side behind her.<br/>Reflexively, Teanna moved a hand over her stump and rose her gaze over the small fire, a slightly strained smile adorning her unnaturally smooth, flawless features.<span style="color: #ff00ff">"T-thank you for your kind words. It... It has been a while since I've heard them and it's a little embarrassing to reveal myself like this..... It has been so long." <span style="color: #000000">she clears her throat a bit and crosses her hands over her chest, looking up perhaps a bit more confidently at the rest of the group <span style="color: #ff00ff">"I hope to be of great use to you and the expedition's goals."</span></span></span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
