This act of kindness broke Jihahna, who fled confused and let her mark go. When she attempted to leave the cartels, a bounty hunter was sent after her. They believed she defected for other reasons, perhaps to betray another cartel with information. She killed the hunter before collapsing and was pronounced dead at the scene, her body badly scarred, left arm and leg shredded (requiring surgical removal later on). As luck would have it however, when she awoke in the morgue, mysteriously alive by a miracle, the man in charge was the same old man whose actions had convinced her to leave. This man who had seen enough of death, helped Jihahna so that she could live. With his medical assistance and the remainder of her finances, he replaced her limbs with crude cybernetic replacements and smuggled her off-world. In short, she is a character who is presently unsure of her primary motivation, but may develop more selfless motivations in future.</p><p>Outlook: Jihahna grew up on a cartel controlled desert Fringe planet in rough beginnings, then became a mercenary in order to feed herself. Always originally a loner, Jihahna preferred to avoid working with gangs as she has always been gruff and a bit too free thinking for such a thing. Her outlook on the universe has always been dark until her encounter with the old man. She believes that everyone has a hidden motivation whenever they are kind and that no-one can be trusted. She considers herself a realist, but perhaps there is a part of her that wishes that she could have been more idealistic in a dark universe.</p><p>Integrity: Jihahna is at a crossroads at present for her integrity. Before the incident with the old man she was the sort of mercenary who was always dependable and professional. It's only recently that she may have begun to develop a new side to her. She is not the sort to change her alliance for financial gain as she has always taken pride in her being reliable, however, next time she felt MORALLY obliged to change sides in an assignment, she would very possibly do so.</p><p>Impulsiveness: Jihahna is gruff and cool headed.

She has no qualms at being assertive as well as straight and to the point and if it is clear that she must act on something, she will do so with determination.</p><p>Flexibility: Jihahna likes structure and routine and always has done, particularly since having to care more for her health. A change in routine either means she is in danger, or she is on assignment and has already prepared for such a thing. If she has time to prepare for a change to her routine, Jihahna is fine, otherwise, she experiences increased stress levels, leading her to being more gruff than before.</p><p>Comportment: Jihahna displays a rather professional, short ad to the point comportment around those she does not know and becomes awkward and quiet everyone else starts making friends with each other. She does not trust people, but she does not want them to catch on to this and because she is not particularly sociable, this often leads to awkward conversations, or worse, awkward silences.</p><p></p><p></p><p>ATTITUDE TRAITS</p><p></p><p></p><p>Emotional Disposition: Jihahna is actually quite emotionally stable which can be observed over a period of time by her consistent behaviors, though some might see her as a bit of a bore.
