Renya
Master of the game of Pantheon and cadet in the Harat-Shar Homeguard.[1]
Physical Characteristics
A young Homeworld Harat-Shar woman of the cheetahine intrarace, narrow-hipped and long-limbed, with rounded ears, pale blonde hair, and green eyes. She wore a veil over her lower face in the tradition of Harat-Shar females raised in harems, but removed it once she felt she had proven herself, as was common for female members of the Homeguard.
History
Family
Her family discouraged her from going offplanet and joining the Homeguard, as they expected to join a male's train as a younger wife; Renya believed that they were waiting for her to fail and return home, and that they were particularly eager to get her back into a more ordinary role because of the unpopularity of the cheetahine intrarace.
Her childhood friend was a Harat-Shar tigraine girl named Dani, who had chestnut hair.
Recent History
Renya chose to join the Homeguard because she didn't want to marry into a train. Renya attributes her success at the game (she apparently "never" loses at Pantheon) to her petitions to Kajentarel and the Battleangels and the incense she burns to them. Her streak of wins continued once she was aboard a Homeguard ship, against her new roommate Cordasha, a lynxine.
She challenged the commander or her first ship, Kerov to a game of Pantheon and lost, but made the game interesting enough to earn his respect; at this point she ceased wearing the veil of her upbringing. [1]
