Nakama Sen is a Dragonborn fighter and cleric hailing from the Draconic Empire.

## Personality

Sen is a towering but jovial Dragonborn fighter. She's headstrong and a bit foolish, but she thrives in combat situations and has a surprisingly keen mind for strategy and tactics. She wears her heart on her sleeve and is quick to make both allies and enemies, though she's used to going it alone and living off her own wits. She seems to have a preoccupation with heritage.

## Known History

She is from the Draconic Empire and is of mixed Triton heritage. Her family, a medium-strength Daimyo line, had intermarried with a powerful Triton line as a bid for power several generations ago, but this plan failed when the other family fell from grace shortly thereafter. No other family members had displayed her unusual coloration and finned extremities until Sen. She considers herself the black sheep of her family for this reason.

It's no surprise that someone of Sen's build was a samurai. She received martial training as a teenager under the tutelage of her family's well-paid retainers and master samurai. During this, she picked up the skills of weapons mastery, tracking, survival, strategic planning, and tactical thinking.

However, she often felt ostracized due to her strength and size - other trainees often feared her, and she had a history of injuring her sparring opponents. She also felt withdrawn from her peers due to her mixed heritage. Moreso, she was in the awkward situation of serving her own family as her Daimyo lord, and others saw her as benefiting from nepotism.

Eventually, she left their service (and disavowed her own family as a result) three years ago and became a ronin, suffering great dishonor in the process. She left for the Southern Continent immediately thereafter so as to not dishonor her family as well, going into a voluntary exile.

Sen first encountered the Keyholders after being ditched from a caravan guard job in Farmer's Rest and has traveled with the group ever since.

During their travels, Sen tried to follow her faith as much as possible, lighting candles for the dead, leaving offerings for spirits, and doing charity when possible. This may have caused her to develop a connection to holy powers, and she started to develop some skill as a cleric.

Most recently, Sen left the company of the Keyholders to help rebuild the wood elf conclave's village, with promises to return.

## Relationships

Sen generally sees her party members as sources of worldly wisdom and great skill, but also as people to protect. For this reason, she can be unexpectedly cautious and calculating when she senses a threat to her friends. Unfortunately, she seems to expect the same level of loyalty and dedication from others as she puts forth, which can put her at odds with her fellows.

**Anastasia deGuranakov**: Deeply respects her service under the Border Patrol. More recently, she has developed romantic feelings for Anya, and they have made promises to each other to protect their respective charges and meet up again soon. May or may not be working on her proficiency with smith's tools to make something special for her.

**Ayala Elhera**: In Gaiapolis, the compliments of the alchemist made it obvious that Sen is terribly naive when it comes to romance. She's gradually getting her wits about her, though. Hopes to see her again someday to discuss magic and to find something powerful.

**The Drow Psion**: Psion has become one of the people Sen cares about the most deeply. She appreciates that Psion has boundaries and that they may never understand each other's morals, and this acceptance has made them quite close to one another. She's hoping (and even praying) that the Psion can reconcile with her wife soon, and secretly wants to go on a double date with Anya with them.

**Elder El'Korus**: Sen has promised her services to the Wood Elf conclave to defend them and help them rebuild their village in the Elven Domain. This is partly an act of charity; partly an act of penance to her gods; and partly because she knows she's lost her edge as a samurai and needs time to herself.

**Kurald Rake**: Sen sees him as their leader, like it or not. She appreciates his thoughtful nature, though he is quite the bartering fiend. Worries that his morals might bring him to a desperate situation someday but respects his convictions. Is astonished at the strength of his magic. Has given him tutelage in martial skills.

**Lothar von Hasselton**: A newer acquaintance, she is impressed by Lothar's skill at swordplay and his gentle nature. Was hoping to discuss divine powers and gods with him before she left the Southern Continent, and badly regrets missing the opportunity.

**Mi'raj**: She appreciates his wisdom and pithy nature, as well as his healing hands which have helped her many times. Sen would love to visit his monastic order someday, but she is concerned that his philosophy might be too extreme to be practical and wants to discuss it further. Is always happy to fight alongside him.

**Raxus Green**: She thinks he's a good guy with a kind heart. Knows he can come through in the clutch. Is grateful for his and calmness under pressure, but also sees him as someone who gets himself into serious trouble and intends to be his shield when possible. She thinks he almost certainly has some divine luck on his side. Has given him tutelage in martial skills. Also, he makes a good steed while polymorphed, which is handy.

**Sylvia Reasenberg**: Sees her as an formidable spellcaster with a great deal of experience and wisdom, both in life and on the Southern Continent. Deeply respects her service under the Border Patrol. Has accepted that Sylvia has her own schemes going on and is satisfied to let her have her secrets as long as they don't hurt their friends. Still laughs to herself sometimes thinking about all the times she's fallen into the mud while doing stunts.
