Will often flick her tail or do weird maneuvers with it when bored and trying to entertain herself.
Communication skills
When a young adult, Tenacious is actually very well spoken, even though she tends to keep quiet and to herself. When older she becomes quite the chatterbox.
Showing affection
Tenacious is very much a physical affection type of lion, prefering to show her love in nuzzling or cuddling rather than through her words, though that doesn't mean she can't say a quote worthy sentence every once in a while. She just needs time to think on the words carefully.
Story
Cubhood
Tenacious growing up had to keep in line, or less get yelled at by either her father or mother, she eventually learned to just not talk much or at all. Unless she was just around her aunt Careful, who was really the only thing she had that was close to a mother figure.
Tenacious knew of her older sisters, Hope and Adamant, she was still quite young when they left and thanks to her aunt Careful she knows the real reasons why they left. And not the blatent lies she hears from her parents, Tenacious would often think about them and wondered where their journey took them, but also wishes for their wellbeing and safety. Being the sole heir for a time after her sisters left caused her to be helicopter parented by her mother, Tenacious was never left alone.
Young Adulthood
Once old enough to learn to hunt, Jasper took Tenacious to meet Edge, and she was forced to accept the deal as Edge threatened both her life and the lives of her younger half-siblings. However Tenacious managed to convince Edge to give her five more months in the Golden Grove, Edge allows it on the condition that she and Jasper meet either him or his knight for a weekly check in. Tenacious felt an even larger burden placed upon her shoulders, thus causing a growing rift between her and her family.
After the meeting with Edge every week Jasper would take Tenacious out to "patrol and learn the territory" to not seem suspicious, sometimes he would really test her patience to the point where she would snap and lunge at him. Tenacious would even purposefully antagonise her father to get a fight as with every fight she'd learn his fighting pattern and get better every time. With this new developement Tenacious would spend more and more time away from the pride to be alone and think. Until one day she ran into a young Traveler named Spark.
She didn't pay him any mind at first, simply turning and walking away when he called out a greeting to her, but slowly and surely Spark wormed his way into her heart. He is one of the few things that she looks foward to, and shares everything with, even the burden of Edge's "deal", the day she tells him that he immediately tries to think of a solution. Tenacious thinks that his suggestion is a crazy death wish, the idea to over throw her father as King.

Fighting style
Tenacious's fighting style was developed thanks to her constant scraps with her father, she had to compensate for her young size and inexperience in combat. So instead she would study her father's battle patterns and strike when the time was right, she quickly worked to better her stragety and tactic. She now makes sure to keep a good distance in battle until she has a pattern down then she'll take advantage of the weakness she spotted to gain the upper hand.

Affection
Tenacious to her very core hates her father, knowing of his dealings with Edge and how he treats his family. She believes the pride will be better off without him, Tenacious wishes she can pull the blood of him from her body. And yet, she clings to this one moment she had with him while young. She was on top of his mane and he started running so fast, it felt like she was flying, and for once she laughed without him telling her to stop. Tenacious knows this in no way redeems him and she doesn't want to nor will she ever forgive him, but she till can't help but wonder what could have been had he been a good father and mate, a good King. It is the want of 'what could have been that truly tugs at Tenacious's heart.

Hearing as well as seeing how her mother treated her older sister has caused Tenacious to feel nothing but spite towards her. Especially since Vicious does nothing to help protect her family from Jasper's abuse, she can see that Vicious herself is a victim too, but that doesn't excuse her actions nor words.

Having a lion around her age is quite refreshing to have, not to mention the one lion she can go to to rant and share her deepest fears with and get nothing but love and support. Spark has well sparked something within Tenacious, the will to try and make things better, and not just let the winds wisk her away without trying anything to stop it.
