Dealing with backstabbers, there was one thing I learned. They're only powerful when you got your back turned.

Medical Difficulty:
Amputee - She lost her entire back left leg and part of her back right leg (transfemorial) to a tragic accident in her past.
Personality:
Insecure
Being abandoned as a kit, Themba tends to have trust issues. She doesn't think of herself as beautiful - while quite the opposite is true. After trying to look beautiful and putting a lot of effort into her appearance, she still felt ugly. After years of trying different "beautifying" tactics with no luck, Themba gave up. She no longer wears make-up, nor does she try to look even remotely beautiful.
She often looks in the mirror and wonders why she can't see beauty - all she can see is a scarred body and eyes full of regret.
Resolute
Even with her insecurities, Themba is resolute. When she sets her gaze on something, she gets it done. She often goes out of her way to get something she wants. She's very determined, and rarely takes "no" for an answer. She doesn't like people who put her down, or say she can't do something due to her status as an amputee, so she strives to prove them wrong.
Obstinate
While being insecure in regards to her looks, Themba shares no such insecurities elsewhere in her life. She's loud, opinionated, and can be quite pig-headed. She can be stubborn, and often beings get frustrated trying to communicate with her, as she's very adamant about what she believes in and what she thinks is right.
Tenacious and Intelligent
Like a bluejay, Themba is loud. She doesn't fear getting into arguments - she enjoys it. She doesn't fear any being, no matter how puffed-up or prideful he/she may be. She is very vehement, having an opinion on everything and clearly stating her stance on "controversial" issues. She is knowledgeable about what she needs to know - she doesn't like to be beaten in arguments, so she teaches herself everything she'd need to know to cream any opponent in any argument. She loves debating, and finds pride in the fact that she can beat almost anyone.
Leery
Themba tends to push others away with her vicious attitude and quick temper. She tends to be very distrusting of people due to her past experiences; she doesn't trust easily, and is loyal to few. She doesn't like to hang out with most beings, due to the way they look at her - she often gets mean stares, and hears others whisper as she hobbles past them. Children are the worst - they don't have a filter, and often blurt out cruel sentences and questions. She doesn't blame them for not being at the proper maturity level - rather, she blames their parents for letting them be so unkind.
Living in a Nightmare...
Themba went to fight in a war. There, she had such bad injuries that she was forced to accept the fact that her legs would be better off her than on her. She had tried every last possible effort to keep her legs, and nothing succeeded. Only then did she relent and have surgery performed.
Sometimes, when beings make rude remarks about her amputated legs, she gets flashbacks to the instances which caused her old injuries. In these times, she can be seen staring off into space, a look of horror present on her face. These are the few instances where anyone can actually see what Themba is feeling - she's very good at hiding most of her emotions (other than anger, skepticism, and distrust). She often uses her anger as a cover up for her raging emotions underneath. While she may seem angry at the world, she truly is just hurting and lonely, not being able to find someone like herself who can understand why she is the way she is.
Understanding
While Themba may seem like a firecracker, underneath all the pomp and anger is a very caring creature. When she sees young children, she often has a maternal instinct kick in - she sometimes will stand guard by the playground, making sure the children are safe. When she sees anyone with a disability or medical difficulty like herself, she feels a connection. She tries to seek these beings out, and befriend them, thinking that they can understand how she feels and what she has to go through on a daily basis. She often has pity for younger children with these difficulties or disabilities, and will go out of her way to help them in any way she can - whether it's giving them a roof over their heads for a couple nights or feeding them a hot meal every now and then. When she can, she helps find them stable and loving homes to live in; if they're in a bad situation, she helps them get out of it - even if that means calling the police and getting interrogated for something she didn't do.
Greatest Desire:
She has no true desire currently, other than to find someone who will understand her for who she is. Themba wishes for someone who won't laugh at her scars, won't stare cruelly at her deformed body...she wishes for someone to accept her as she is.
