her experience outside of the realm and on Wyld Hunts has made her doubt the Immaculate teachings.  Lunars who were fighting the Fae creatures like the Terrestrials, Solars who helped free lands from corrupt gods and oppressors, Anathema <em>destroying</em> creatures of darkness, not creating them... she has developed serious, <em>serious</em> doubts to the Immaculate philosophy, though she mentions it to nobody else, knowing what would happen if word got out that she didn't quite believe what they'd been told all their lives.  That, and the fact that she has no interest in marrying a man and conceiving a child with him, though she feels stuck in her duty to society and to her mother to do so...<br/><br/><strong>Languages</strong><br/>High Realm<br/>Old Realm<br/>Riverspeak<br/><br/><strong>Intimacies</strong><br/>V'neef(her Mother)<br/>V'neef(her House)<br/>The Realm<br/><br/><strong>Attribute</strong><br/>Strength: 3<br/>Dexterity: 3<br/>Stamina: 4<br/><br/>Charisma: 3<br/>Manipulation: 3<br/>Appearance: 5<br/><br/>Perception: 3<br/>Intelligence: 3<br/>Wits: 3<br/><br/><strong>Abilities</strong><br/>Linguistics: 2<br/>Lore: 5<br/>Occult: 0<br/>Stealth: 0<br/>Thrown: 0<br/><br/>Awareness*: 5<br/>Craft: 0<br/>Integrity: 4 (Persuasion 3)<br/>Resistance: 4<br/>War: 1<br/><br/>Athletics: 5<br/>Dodge*: 5 (In Armor 1)<br/>Melee: 1<br/>Presence*: 5 (Persuasion 2)<br/>Socialize: 2<br/><br/>Bureaucracy*: 4<br/>Investigation*: 3<br/>Larceny*: 0<br/>Martial Arts*: 5<br/>Sail*: 2<br/><br/>Archery: 3<br/>Medicine: 2<br/>Performance: 1<br/>Ride: 2<br/>Survival: 0<br/><br/><strong>Health</strong><br/>-0: O<br/>-1: OOO<br/>-2: OOO<br/>-4: O<br/>In: O<br/><br/><strong>Combat Stats</strong><br/>Soak: B4/L4/A0<br/>Dodge DV: 9<br/>Parry DV: 4+<br/>Mental DV: 9<br/>Willpower: 10/10<br/><br/><strong>Athletics</strong><br/>Vertical Jump: 8<br/>Horizontal Jump: 16<br/>Move: 3<br/>Dash: 9<br/>Lift: 550<br/><br/><strong>Combat</strong><br/>Punch: Speed4, +9, 3B, 5PDV, Rate3<br/>Kick: Speed4, +8, 6B, 3PDV, Rate2<br/>Clinch: Speed5, +8, 3B, 4PDV, Rate1, Piercing<br/>Blue Jade Gloves of Martial Readiness: Speed2-3, +12, 9L, 6PDV, Rate3<br/>Exceptional Flame Piece: Speed5, +8, 9L, Rate2, Range8, Fire,Single2<br/><br/><strong>Armor</strong><br/>Blue Jade Reinforced Buff Jacket: +10B/7L, Hardness 5B/5L, Mobility -1, Fatigue --<br/><br/><strong>Virtues</strong><br/>Compassion: 2<br/>Conviction: 5<br/>Temperance: 2<br/>Valor: 5<br/>Limit Break: 0/10<br/><br/><strong>Virtue Flaws</strong><br/>Water Aspect (Conviction)<br/><br/><strong>Essence</strong>: 4<br/><br/><strong>Personal Essence Pool</strong>: 20/20<br/><br/><strong>Peripheral Essence Pool</strong>: 31/31 (47)<br/><br/><strong>Charms</strong><br/><em>Immaculate Charms</em><br/>Pasiap's Humility<br/>Moment of Daana'd<br/><br/><em>Water Dragon Style</em><br/>Flowing Water Defense<br/>Rippling Water Strike<br/>Shrugging Water Dragon Escape<br/>Drowning in Blood Technique<br/>Water Dragon Form<br/>Flow Reversal Strike<br/>Theft-of-Essence Method<br/>Crashing Wave Style<br/>Ghost-Restraining Whirlpool Stance<br/>Bottomless Depths Defense<br/>Essence-Dousing Wave Attack<br/>Tsunami Force Shout<br/><br/><em>Resistance</em><br/>Ox-Body Meditation x1<br/><br/><em>Awareness</em><br/>First Awareness Excellency<br/><br/><em>Dodge</em><br/>First Dodge Excellency<br/>Threshold Warding Stance<br/><br/><em>Presence</em><br/>Auspicious First Meeting Attitude<br/><br/><em>Bureaucracy</em><br/>Confluence of Savant Thought<br/>Geese-Flying-South Administration<br/><br/><strong>Combos</strong><br/><br/><strong>Backgrounds</strong><br/>Artifact: 4 (x2)<br/>Breeding: 6 (+1Social w/ DB &amp;

it was hard to rip a man to shreds with her hands alone...<br/><br/>But no, this was the third man today she'd 'interviewed' as a potential - she'd say it with the utmost distaste -<em>husband</em>.  Her mother knew she didn't like men, at least not sexually, and yet it was her duty, and beyond that it was the<em>law</em>, with the addition of two children, minimum!  She prayed for twins in that case; two children in one fuck.  But for now she had to listen to these... gods dammit,<em>when was he going to shut up?!</em><br/><br/>"Tekoru, I swear upon the spirit of Daana'd if you keep telling me about lost eggs, blackmails, and the same political-scandal crap I can find here in the Imperial City I am going to remove your vocal chords with my dragon claws and I<em>promise</em>you will<em>not</em>enjoy it..." she said, her tone measured, calm... but there was real threat behind her words (made all the more real because her gloves could grow Dragon Claws of pure essence, should she wish it to in an instant) "Now we've been at this for an hour, and after having met two men before you, I find myself to be quite tired and in need of rest; I am to meet too more men today after all.  Good day to you Ledaal..."<br/><br/>And if he insisted on otherwise continuing, he'd simply need to take one look at her eyes... and witness the utter risk of wraith contained within her oceanic orbs.
