appearance
Tendua is a tall, willowy dragoness. She has a lithe and graceful build, with somewhat muscular arms and legs from years of climbing and jumping through the rainforest treetops. While her scales can change their color based on her emotions, she typically keeps them a rich jungle-green. However, her underbelly is instead a paler variation of this color, a lighter hue than her frills and wing membranes. There are also occasional accents of a darker shade on her body. Tendua's long, curved horns are also a darker green. As she is unable to change her eye color, they are always a gray-green color.
During her performances, Tendua can be seen wearing cosmetics such as mascara and silver eyeliner. From time to time, she also adorns herself with a crown of white flowers.
As for her accessories, she has two small silver studs in both of her ears. Tendua also wears a leather satchel, which she uses to stow her trinkets and smaller belongings.
personality
Spontaneous, energetic, and enthusiastic, Tendua loves the spotlight, and is quite a social butterfly; she has an earthy wit and won’t hesitate to offer emotional support to others. She’s also very observant when it comes to people’s emotions.
However, she does have her flaws as well: she's strongly emotional and very vulnerable to criticism – she can feel like she's been backed into a corner, often reacting badly. Along with this, anything that requires long-term dedication and focus is a particular challenge for her. For this reason, she often has little motivation to complete certain tasks, as she simply has no interest in them. Additionally, she's a poor long-term planner. To her, things come as they come, and she rarely bothers with taking the time to lay out steps and consequences, with the belief that they could change at any moment – even with things that can be planned.
Despite her shortcomings, she’ll always be there for a friend in need and is probably one of the most reliable companions that someone can have.
abilities
As a RainWing, she possesses the abilities typical of her tribe—she can spit venom and alter the color of her scales based on her emotions or at her leisure.
With Tendua's lithe physique comes the added advantage of her strength and agility. Though she hasn't received official training as an athlete or a dancer, her physical dexterity is inexhaustible.
When in school, the dragoness excelled in mathematics and science, although she is not as accomplished in the language arts. 
She's also a skilled vocalist, having received voice training ever since she was a young dragonet.
history
Tendua hatched in one of the smaller villages in the Rainforest Kingdom in 5,184 A.S., attending one of the local RainWing schools. Even when she was very young, the young RainWing had always had a knack for recognizing musical pitch, something which did not go unnoticed by her mothers. They quickly enrolled her in a voice training class, something which while Tendua was originally reluctant about she did see the merit of. By the time she was six, the dragonet had become an incredibly skilled vocalist. Looking to earn some money and fame, Tendua thrust herself into the larger music world- a decision that she still ponders whether it was worth it or not to this day.
For the next three years, Tendua was on cloud nine. She'd found work as the vocalist of a very successful jazz band despite her young age, and was adored throughout the Rainforest Kingdom- even going on tour through the Mud Kingdom and the Kingdom of the Sea a few times. She had it all- friends, fame, fortune. But at some point, the glamour of stardom just seemed to melt away in her eyes, and Tendua quickly became disillusioned. This, along with newly surfacing internal questions about her identity, led to her taking a large portion of the band's acquired treasure and leaving one night, with only a short note explaining that she likely would not return.
This news caused a great deal of uproar in the musical world. "How could someone so successful just drop off of the face of the continent like that? Obviously, foul play must have been involved!" were the thoughts that were running through nearly everyone's head at the time, but the young RainWing was quickly forgotten about after a few months. It was almost like Tendua had never existed in the first place. During this time, she had been back at home with Azalea and Indri, catching up over what had happened the past few years. Eventually, Tendua decided that it was time to move on. She said a quick but tearful goodbye to her moms, but promising to write to them occasionally. And so, the RainWing set out into the world again, but this time without a purpose and a much clearer head.
Some time later, she arrived in a Kingdom of Sand trading post called Port Starfish. The RainWing quickly became enamored with the town, mainly because of how out of the way it was and the positively amazing spots for sun time. There, she became acquainted with a SandWing called Frit. While at first they didn't quite trust each other -Tendua because of how he seemed to be able to plan everything in advance and actually follow through on his plans, Frit because of noticing her suspiciously large but dwindling amount of wealth- they eventually had a mutual friend in Signata. They're still pretty vitriolic, though, and Signata often has their talons full cooling the two's heads. Afterwards, Tendua's life was relatively uneventful apart from a few spats with the more ruthless restaurateurs in town over how they attempted to drive Signata out of business.
That is, until Bennu and her ghost arrived in town.
