==Appearance==
Jenehvive is tall and lean, with tanned skin and extremely short hair. She carries herself well, always walking purposefully, and she'd look quite confident if it weren't for the way her eyes dart around constantly, always narrowed. She wears a near-permanent scowl and practically radiates irritation most of the time.
As a worgen, not much changes aside from the extra height, fangs, claws, and the addition of brown fur. Jenehvive looks even more irritable in this form, the teeth and overall bestial appearance serving to make her usual grumpiness much more evident. The scowl becomes an outright snarl.
Her clothing and armor are well-kept and she keeps herself well-groomed, taking care not to be one of 'those worgen' running about with their fur and mane all full of twigs and dirt, and her claws are always kept carefully sharpened.
==Social==
She isn't exactly the sort who makes a great drinking buddy. Jenehvive is generally irritable and prone to snapping at people when they piss her off, which is every other minute with her hair-trigger temper. Somehow the Tavern Lines seem to accept this, making a sort of game out of prodding her and pushing her buttons to make her explode. When in worgen form she's even easier to anger, and has been known to drag certain dwarves outside the tavern for a punching session or two.
==Background==
Jenehvive Welles was born in southern Gilneas to a woodsman and his wife, who succumbed to illness shortly after her daughter's birth. Her father made their living off his trade in leathers and furs, and he taught the young Jenehvive how to handle skins from an early age. As she grew older he began showing her how to handle a rifle as well, training her in how to shoot, and once she'd learned enough to hunt with him he gave Jen a gun of her own and let her tag along in the woods. She learned how to track and stalk their targets, how to lay traps, how to shoot an animal without damaging the fur. Eventually she became skilled enough that she was allowed out on her own, sometimes spending a few days at a time in the woods before she came home proudly carrying a bundle of furs.
==Rebels and Worgen==
Her family did their best to stay out of the conflict in Gilneas, keeping their heads low and showing no favor to one side or the other. Jenehvive's father continued his work, focused on keeping the two of them safe despite the conflict, though their withdrawal from others began to hurt the business and it wasn't long before he and Jenehvive were surviving solely off what they managed to kill. Eventually, however, a new threat arose that they couldn't simply hide from- the worgen.
As they grew more and more numerous her father became paranoid, heavily barring the doors, and one day he returned from hunting and began feverishly barring the windows as well to completely seal the house up. He refused to tell Jenehvive why, ordering her to leave the house and go to the inn, but she in turn dug her heels in and refused to leave when something was obviously wrong. Shortly he grew more and more insistent in his orders to leave, and to Jenehvive's horror she noticed dark fur growing around the bandage on his arm. By then it was too late, and as she grabbed her rifle and ran for the door the worgen leapt into her path. Jenehvive raised her gun but hesitated to shoot, unwilling to kill him, and he took the opportunity to attack. As the beast bore down on her she managed to close her fingers around the trigger...but not before his teeth sank into her arm.
==Furry Problems==
When she eventually regained control of herself and the ability to take her human form once more, Jenehvive was horrified and ashamed at what she'd become and refused to shift unless absolutely necessary, though she found that she was unable to fight without the change happening on its own. She grew more and more sullen and withdrawn, especially following the loss of Gilneas, and the once-calm young woman became irritable and angry. The influence of the Tavern Lines and their tendency to tease and prod the somewhat sheltered Jenehvive encouraged this, and she often lashed out at them, particularly Chalfriald Scarmane.
She quickly developed a hatred for him and his pointed teasing, growing increasingly irritated until finally she began to challenge him. Blinded by her anger, he found her an easy enough opponent, and she was further incensed at the ease with which he beat her. The tension grew, as did her determination to best him, until finally Jenehvive managed to defeat Chalfriald. Once she had managed to do so she still found herself eager for his opposition, much to her surprise, and after some time she eventually admitted her feelings for him. Jenehvive is extremely protective, maintaining that she's the only one allowed to injure him, and has begun to accompany him on his outings to kill Forsaken in order to, in her words, "keep the bloody idiot from getting his fool self killed."
Despite her separation from the Tavern Lines, Jenehvive still occasionally spends time with members of the organization, and has developed a particular hate for Daggle. She loves few things more than trying to punch the dwarf until he shuts up, which is rarely effective.
