History
Not too much has been written about Tananda’s history in the Myth Adventures books, except to say that she has been Aahz’s friend for a long time.
She was trained as an assassin, but has let her dues to the Assassin’s Guild lapse. She has traveled the dimensions extensively, but she’s found a bit of a home with MYTH, Inc.
Description
Tananda is a very good looking Trollop. Trollops, unlike their male counterparts, Trolls, look very human-like, except for the green hair.
She is usually dressed in fashionable and tight-fitting attire.
If Tananda is traveling dimensions, she will insist on disguising herself as a very attractive version of whatever creature inhabits that dimension.
Personality
Tananda is a bit of a vamp. Her “greetings” have been known to get a rise out of a corpse. However, when it comes to a fight, she is usually cool as a cucumber.

She is a bit vain about her looks and insists on looking good all the time. If she is travelling in a dimension of slimey creatures, her disguise will be the slimey-est of all.
Her fear of failure sometimes causes her to over-react when things aren’t going the way they should. Chumley once told Skeeve of a dimension where she had a bad time with a collecting assignment. That dimension no longer exists, says Chumley, because she had a bit of a temper tantrum.
When Skeeve first met her, she was acting a bait for a group of thieves. She’s always been willing to take on the “dirty” assignments for MYTH, Inc.. Must be all that assasin training.
