Tarnia is a bit of a enigma in that she rarely speaks - and when she does rarely uses more that one or two words at a time. Yet, somehow, her teammates know what she
thinking when they talk with her; theorized to be due to the belief that Tarnia has developed the empathic/non-verbal communication that is common in animals.
She is always in the company of a troop of desert foxes that helped raise her - exactly how she came to be in that situation is unknown (even to the leadership of the Sand Village.)
There is a fox that is typically draped over her shoulders (pretending to be a fox fur stole) called Bara who, when Tarnia changes emotions, Bara reflects them - coming as
a shock to the people who think he's merely a fashion accessory.
Somewhere along the line - prior to her becoming a Genin in the Sand Village - Tarnia signed the Contract for Fox summoning, allowing her to summon the members of her family pack or some of the mystical foxes. Tarnia has a jutsu that causes her hands glow to allow her to control the foxes she summons without auditory commands.
While she has no recollection of her parents, there are times - just before she goes to sleep - that tears begin to come and she experiences feelings of utter despair and loss for something; despite her closeness to her troop.
Tarnia uses curved and double bladed kunais - neither of which are balanced for throwing. She also has the ability to form a whip made of fire with her chakra. Her standard tool kit also contains a bottle filled with an unknown type of pill that seems to be a variant of the standard soldier pill. When consumed, Tarnia gains visible fox-like attributes - much like the Man-Beast Transformation used by the Inuzaka clan of Konoha.
Her speed and strength double and there are numerous physiological changes: her teeth turn into fangs, her normally well-manicured fingernails thicken into claws, and, oddest of all, her pupils change from their normal human circles into vertical slits, like a fox's. The physiological changes don't stop there, either; fully functional fox-like ears emerge from the top of her head (and her human ones vanish) while a trio of fox tails as long and as thick as her legs, but white and pink like her hair, sprout from her lower back. The reason for these physiological changes is unknown and the pills have no effect - not even the normal effects of soldier pills - on anyone but Tarnia.
