History

Here's a link to her old app, additions to her history consist of 'has just about killed herself several times over for Riftwatch/The Inquisition, crashed a dragon into a tower once, and most recently conscripted and trained a group of baby Wardens in the area around Champrovent.
She briefly returned to Riftwatch to assist with the blighted Rift, then fucked off again [because I got pregnant and had a bad time].

Personality

Surly, opinionated, and generally Not To Be Trifled With, Teren is awfully tough for someone who looks like she could be snapped in half by a stiff wind. Though standoffish and unfriendly at first glance, anyone who gets to know Teren will learn sooner or later that she is quite passionate about more than one topic: this includes Nevarran politics, the state of the Grey Wardens as an organization, the state of the Grey Wardens she has known as personal associates, sewing patterns that are or are not for whores, Orlesians as a collective, the Fifth Blight and its effects on Fereldan royalty, what kind of whiskey is good, how she's going to kill every single individual person who has wronged one of hers, and so forth.
She's very particular about everything she eats, drinks, or wears, and is a fearsome haggler, a skill she's more than willing to lend her fellow Wardens, in addition to mending their clothes for free (everyone else has to pay).

Her romantic ventures have categorically ended in tragedy and her sexual encounters are as rare as they are mysterious; the less said about them, the better. She has successfully killed one other member of Riftwatch and almost killed a few others, but it's not her fault they were babies about it. When she loves, she does so fiercely, and anyone Warden or otherwise who finds themselves under her wing will benefit from her attention, whether they like it or not.

In the wake of losing more than one of her closest associates to the war with Corypheus, Teren's outlook has taken a turn for the maudlin (or at least she would say so): feeling that there is little left for her to do apart from watch all of her loved ones die in turn, whether to combat or to the Calling, her mind has turned toward how she can make the most of her own last days. Riftwatchers both new and familiar to her will find her rather more withdrawn, more focused-- as a result, perhaps more helpful-- and less opinionated than before, belying an internal struggle that she has no interest in sharing with the class.

Opinions & Affiliations

Mostly chill with everyone, but Orlesian Imperialists (including Chevaliers) can fuck off, Mortalitasi are sus, and regular mages are spooky but generally judged on a case-by-case basis.


Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths: An absolute whiz with twin daggers, quick-thinking, seemingly indestructible or at least unwilling to die when she probably should, iron-willed and pragmatic.

Weaknesses: Paranoid, stubborn, bossy, sometimes unpleasant for no reason, at least a touch sadistic, Getting On In The Years, easily manipulated if someone knows which buttons to push.

Inventory

Typical Warden gear, fancy knives acquired through Riftwatch, a billion other less-cool knives tucked into her various articles of clothing, sewing kit, personal flask, and her horsey Riddle.

Motivation

Most of her closest Wardens were just killed in action, which means it's time to get Weird (in the sense of returning to Riftwatch and devising the most devastating possible counter-attack, from which she feels no need to return). Riftwatch has the resources to make it really count, and it has never been beyond Teren's scope of morality to manipulate situations to her own ends-- she's also got very little left to lose, which at this point is more of an asset to the organization than it would be to her alone.
