STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
Strengths:
-Morally ambiguous: Whatever gets the job done, no matter the cost. Not many things get in the way of that mentality.
-Above average intelligence: Her (albeit limited) traditional education and natural proclivity for strategy have served her well along with the practical knowledge she gained from travelling with a group of smugglers for several years.
-Above average marksmanship: Her exclusive use of a blaster to defend herself has left her with near perfect aim.
-Naturally athletic: The only blessing her parents ever gave her.
Weaknesses:
-Eager to please: Tenel craves the approval of those around her as a result of the lack of love and praise she was given as a child.
-Rudimentary knowledge of how to control the Force and little to no knowledge on how to wield a lightsaber
-Anger issues: A remnant of her life on Eriadu.
-Doesn’t trust herself: Since Ren’s death, Tenel finds it hard to trust herself, believing that there is something inherently wrong with her.
APPEARANCE:

BIOGRAPHY:
Tenel Daggoth was born in the dust and soot of the factory districts of Eriadu. Her parents were laborers, conservative, humanocentric thinkers who put their own individual interests above all else. This led to Tenel learning from a young age that the only person she could truly rely on was herself. Once she was old enough to survive on her own, her parents nearly abandoned her, only paying for the roof over her head. It was her resourcefulness and her strong connection to the Force that saved her from starvation. She dropped out of school early out of necessity and took a job at the Phelar Port to support herself, eventually crossing paths with a crew of Corellian smugglers. Tenel came to find out that they were delivering spice to the rich factory owners of Eriadu from distant planets and saw an opportunity. She became close with them during their frequent visits and after a few months, they offered her a place with them. It was an offer Tenel couldn't refuse.
She travelled with them for a few years, learning the tricks of the trade and how to handle herself in a fight. One of the other crew members was force sensitive as well, a former Jedi named Ren. He taught Tenel how to control her connection to the Force and how to use it to her advantage. Those were some of the happiest years of her life, feeling like she had finally found a real family, people who loved and accepted her for who she was. Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to last.
The leader of the crew, a man named Marcus Roscoe created a rift in the group after suggesting that they branch out and take on some bounties as a side business. The group was split, half with Roscoe and the other with Ren. Tenel tried to stay out of it, but ended up siding against her mentor after Marcus convinced her that the only way they would be able to survive would be to take on more work like this. The divide within the crew culminated in a fight at Mos Eisley spaceport after Marcus had taken on a bounty from the Hutt Cartel without consent from the rest of the group. It was chaos. Blasters were being fired left and right and in the confusion, Tenel ended up shooting Ren through the heart out of self-defense, neither of them having recognized each other in the heat of the moment. After that, the feud ended. Ren was buried on Tatooine and Tenel was left irreparably scarred by the incident. She became detached, almost careless in her actions from there onward. Marcus got his way and Tenel became his second in command despite her relative youth at 17. They became mercenaries for hire, and the amount of blood on Tenel's hands grew exponentially as the years passed.
When she turned 20, Tenel's life once again changed. It started with Marcus accepting a job to assassinate the family of an influential Naboo diplomat. Together, they infiltrated their home and trapped them all in the nursery. All of them, even the children, Marcus had said, that was the nature of the job. It was then that Tenel snapped out of the self-serving stupor she had been stuck in for years. She then turned her blaster on Marcus and killed him without a second thought, saving the family from certain death at her own hands.
After that, Tenel left the group of mercenaries she had called her family for many years to start over and find some sort of redemption after everything she had done. Eventually she found her way to The Order of the Silver Jedi in the hopes that she could do just that.
