Senna was created by The Company in the early 2000s, using stolen gametes from Sable Aradia and Erin Righ. When this was discovered, all parties chose to officially acknowledge the relationship, and Senna came to view them as her parents.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Senna was short and stout in build. She was often compared to a fantasy-style Dwarf. She was stocky.
Identifying Characteristics
Senna had multiple stretch marks on her arms from when she was growing, as well as two thin scars on her left shin and multiple scars on her torso. She obtained a scar on her neck after she died in the Third Word War.
She also dyed portions of her short-cropped hair bright purple. She dyed and cut her hair herself.
Special abilities
Senna was, ironically due to her time in the forests of Canada, a powerful technomancer. She built multiple artificial intelligences and new, literomantic technologies.
Senna had a moderate-to-weak literomantic specialty with plant magic, which became much stronger when transformed into an Undead. Her Undead form notably photosynthesized and had plant-like appendages capable of sensing Literomantic auras.
Senna was known to dabble in wind- and air-related Literomancy, but this was likely only experimentation. It was possible that wind and/or air Literomancy was applied to her sniper rifle, but Senna neither confirmed nor denied what enchantments were present.
Apparel & Accessories
Senna was partial to dark colored clothing. She preferred shades of black and gray, but would also wear dark purples and blues. She was occasionally seen in the bright reds and oranges of her House, but usually toned down the colors to more subdued hues.
Senna usually wore masculine-styled clothing, and even shopped in the men's section for her own clothing (luckily, there were enough tailors in the Ailurus Protectorate to get them fitted).
Specialized Equipment
Senna used a literomantic sniper rifle when the Word Wars were on, but much preferred to fight in melee with a combat knife.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Feral Badge by Shyredfox
Senna was born as part of an experiment to create a powerful, weaponized Literomancer by The Company. For the first twelve years of her life, she was trained in the arts of Literomancy, combat, and strategy. The only thing truly keeping her sane and grounded was her sister — Mykola Void.
Prisoners the Company had taken — political or otherwise — were used to condition Senna to acts of violence. She took a life for the first time when she was only five years old.
When Senna was twelve, the Company attempted to force a connection with the Void in them, which they thought should've manifested naturally by that age, but did not. The Void completely and totally rejected Senna. When they were forced into the portal, images flashed before them. They did not tell anyone of what they saw.

In early 2024, Senna assisted in a Lapin-led black op to acquire a clone body for Commander DM Stretch of the Owsla so that he could be Resurrected. This mission involved breaking in to the abandoned Company facility at McMurdo Station, the place where Senna and Myko were engineered and imprisoned by the Company.
Education
Senna had had no formal education outside of what the Company provided in the Compound before age 12. Despite this, she retained a good deal of knowledge about the world and its workings.
The Company fed me proaganda to keep me in line, but they had to keep me in the loop so I could blend in while on missions. I was an assassin. Who would expect a regular kid after all? It was a delicate balance that they had down to a science.
Employment
Despite her lack of formal education, Senna was tasked with tutoring the bunny children and some of the Forgelings at the Warren, and became a teacher at the World Literomantic Academy. She found herself suited for the position of teaching mathematics and physics in particular, and she was decent at explaining literomancy to the children. History, however, she retained little knowledge of, partially due to her concept-based memory.
Accomplishments & Achievements
Senna was awarded the Lapin Star of Valour for making her self-sacrificial deal with ICC Dead People in the Third Word War. This move of hers took her out of Lord GalaWight's hands while also protecting lifesaving supplies and giving the rest of Ailurus' members time to escape The Undead Horde.

Intellectual Characteristics
Senna had a concept-based memory that failed them quite often, but their extensive note-taking made up for this lacking. They had a knack for recognizing patterns, even where nearly invisible, and numbers were certainly their forte.
Senna had trouble remembering faces, names, and specifics. They could not recognize age in the slightest based on physical features, which sometimes played in their favor.
This is why I had a handler!
Social
Speech
The simultaneous formality and bluntness of Senna's speech put many ill at ease, but they worked hard to learn how to handle more casual encounters.
Relationships
History
Myko protected Senna from many of the horrors she was subjected to during their twelve years together in the Compound. The sentiment was mutual. After Senna disappeared in a failed experiment and declared dead, Myko didn't believe it and continued searching for the truth. Senna didn't remember Myko when they were reunited in the April Tourney of Tales of 2022, but did strike up a friendship with her. They formed House Ailurus together in time for the Third Word War. Senna regained her memories slowly, but did regain them and recognized Myko as her sister sometime in August.
History
Sable and Senna established a friendship before learning of their biological relationship. Senna knew of their relationship before Sable did, but did not tell Sable at first due to the unique political consequences that would occur. However, Sable was far less concerned about those consequences than she was about establishing a relationship with her daughter, and the moment she discovered the truth, she reached out to Senna, political consequences be damned. Senna trusts Sable more than she believes she should, and is worried of the potential consequences. While her fear is real, she also believes that Sable deserves said trust. Senna regarded Sable as a mother-figure before their genetic connection was made public. Likewise, Sable felt a maternal sense of protectiveness towards Senna before she learned the truth. She is working hard to be the mother she was not given the chance to be in Senna's childhood. Unknown to Senna, Sable recognizes a lot of herself in her daughter -- merits and flaws both -- and is overwhelmingly proud of her.
History
Erin and Senna established a friendly relationship before learning of their biological relationship. Senna knew of their relationship before Erin did, but did not tell Erin at first due to the unique political consequences that would occur. Their genetic relationship became public in August of 2022. Senna cares for Erin more than she cares to admit, but the presence of the Nite Qing's personality within him had Senna wary of true trust. After Erin traps the Nite Qing in a cursed manuscript, Senna begins to open up to him more.
