Appearance: Stout, broad-shouldered and compact, Rurru appears small but possesses the force and endurace of a person twice her size. Rurru has tan skin with a purplish hue from her haemorythrin-rich blood, deepset amber eyes, and dark red hair that looks akin to a mane of thick curls. Like many of her species, Rurru has a flat, snout-like nose and a pair of 8cm tusks protruding from the sides of her upper lip. Off-duty, she adorns her tusks in beaded rings.

MBTI & Enneagram: ENTP; 08 – The Challenger
Analysis: charismatic, argumentative and prone to making sharp quips, resourceful, mentally agile and pattern-minded, abhors strict procedures that limit ingenuity, open-minded and tolerant of others, methodical in her pursuit of discovery, skeptical and emotionally aloof, struggles to make deep, lasting connections, spontaneous, assertive and unbothered by others’ opinions, loyal.
Disposition: Rurru is an adventurous woman whose mental agility and eagerness to solve problems grants her an adaptable nature and coolness under pressure. Her insatiable curiosity leads her to seek out innovative solutions that, while creative, do not always align with established procedure. As a scientist, Rurru is attentive and methodical. She examines every aspect of a conundrum before making an assessment or deciding on course of action. Her yearning to understand affords her considerable patience upset only by a challenge. Rurru is tolerant, but she believes the source of every healthy relationship is a good debate. Like her experiments, she carefully crafts her arguments with remarkable attention to evidence and her partner, delivering with a sharp curtness that can be misconstrued as being antagonistic. She argues not to be right, but to demonstrate her passion for the topic and respect for her partner. Refusal to debate is a sign of disfavor. Off-duty, Rurru is excitable and eager to explore. She is the first to accept a challenge to Parrises squares, spelunk in the frigid ice caves of Andoria, or brave the melodrama of the latest Soap Opera. She is vivacious and loves people, but usually keeps relationship light with teasing or playful banter, seldom allowing others to get to close. Though insightful and compassionate, Rurru’s need to ‘solve’ issues makes it difficult for her to just listen. And, in situations where she feels insecure, her mind creates problems that may not exist, straining her relationships.
