Reena Star

You know what they say. The more the merrier! :P

Name: Reena Star
Age: 19
Species: Alaskan Klee Kai
Gender: Female
Occupation: Freelance photographer/Blogger

Appearance:
Reena is of a very short stature, mostly due to her particular breed typically being small. (When I have her in typical anthro style where they have more human-like builds, she tends to be almost a full head shorter than the average person.) Her coloration and markings are very normal for a grey and white Klee Kai and her fur is moderately long. Her red hair is cut in lightly curving layers that reach just far enough to brush across her shoulders. In her bangs on the right side, she always has one streak of hair dyed in whatever color has apparently caught her interest at the time. It is not uncommon for her to change this color every couple of months. Most often, her hair is a bit on the messy side. Her eyes are silver in color and she has one piercing in each ear. Her tail also has the upward curve of the Klee Kai and, at its highest, it curves up to remain level with the small of her back.
Her clothing varies about as much as that of an average citizen, though she prefers pants and shorts paired with comfortable shirts. Most often she is wearing tennis shoes or hiking boots. The styles vary depending on the season.

Personality traits

Likes:
- Photography. Almost to the point of obsession. One way or another, Reena is always taking pictures, whether with one of her cameras or with her phone. Many of these pictures also end up on her personal blog.
- Exploring just about anything and anywhere she can find. She's highly curious about many things and always looks for photo opportunities.
- People. Reena, despite her strong opinions that can occasionally lead to disputes, loves to meet people and learn about them. It's not uncommon for her to document her meetings with people on her blog.

Dislikes:
- People who don't respect her opinions.
- People who talk down to her.
- No wifi or cellular signal.

Personality:
Reena is a perhaps a little too friendly, getting comfortable around people quickly and easily after only knowing them a short time. And although she may tease and poke fun now and again, she will respect a person's boundaries if they mention their discomfort with some of her actions.
She is very forward and intrusive into many matters, though, and it isn't uncommon for her to take pictures of people without their knowing, only approaching sometimes afterwards to show them and exchange information or occasionally ask permission to upload the images to her blog.
She is also very up front about her thoughts and opinions, often claiming that she is too small to keep her emotions and thoughts bottled up in her mind.
On some occasions, she can get a little flustered when mistaken for a Husky instead of a Klee Kai.


Combat traits

Powers:
Reena has no supernatural abilities. She is in good physical shape as she makes it a point to exercise often and she leads an active lifestyle.
It has been said she can be very persuasive at times, though, but this depends on who she's trying to persuade at the time.

Strengths:
- Reena pays great attention to many small details, always on the lookout for photo opportunities.
- She is good with people, enjoying any chance to socialize with others.

Weaknesses:
- Reena is nosy and intrusive, often crossing the boundaries of others without realizing and getting herself into trouble.
- She will easily admit that being short is highly annoying as she has difficulty reaching things or getting the exact angles she wants when taking photos. But it has its advantages as well, now and then.


Social information

Positive relations
- Delilah, a skunk friend of hers that has a knack for urban exploration. They have gone on many mini-excursions together to explore abandoned places.
- Venus, a Clydesdale fashion model that Reena met while they both were doing separate jobs and they have been friends ever since.

Negative relations
- At this time, Reena has no real negative relationships with anyone.


History
Reena has lived an average life, or as average a life as any person in their world can have. She traveled plenty with her photographer father as a young girl and, as a result, developed a strong love of photography and seeing the world. She learned quite a lot about other cultures and places and still in the present very much enjoys continuing to expand this knowledge. At the age of 14, she discovered blogging and was immediately hooked on being able to share her adventures and opinions with others online, as well as seeing what they may also have to share.

She met a skunk named Delilah when she was 17 and running about exploring an old abandoned building. After initially scaring one another out of their wits, the two clicked almost immediately and quite often have gone exploring places together since. At the age of 18, Reena also met a Clydesdale named Venus out on location for a photo shoot. Their fascination with photography and the world, despite Venus' interest not being quite as intense as Reena's, gave them an easy foothold into a friendship and they keep well in touch.

Reena has never really known any tragedy in her life. Both of her parents are still alive and she has never really found herself in any real peril aside from a couple of instances while climbing places she shouldn't be or going into run-down buildings with Delilah. Now as an adult, she still embraces these habits and uses them very often as she's near always away from her little apartment, off on some photography venture or occasionally doing some freelance work. It doesn't generate very much income, but her mother's job does. So her parents continue to help in supporting her traveling lifestyle. She has started and stopped a couple of blogs since being introduced to the Internet and her current one (named 'The Star Crusades') has been running for about four years, documenting her many mini-adventures and travels, as well as many of the people she has met around the world.
