[color=lightblue]☬ Full-Birth Given Name ☬[/color]
[indent]McKenna Avery Knowles, at your service.[/indent]
[color=lightblue]☬ Preferred Name | Nickname ☬[/color]
[indent]I go by Kenna, Mak or Avery. Those from the service days call me by last name only.[/indent]
[color=lightblue]☬ Sex Identification ☬[/color]
[indent]Bi-sexual female, here.[/indent]
[color=lightblue]☬ Established In ☬[/color]
[indent]May 20[sup]th[/sup], 1989. I am 27-years-old.[/indent]
[color=lightblue]☬ Someone Back Home ☬[/color]
[indent]My young son, [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/b8/c8/a9/b8c8a93a695af759d316c0ee49156c53.jpg]Phoenix[/url] and 'baby' brother, [url=http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee407/ATattooedGirl/Male%20Characters/IMG_0232_zpsrkcdkgh4.jpg]James[/url] are 'back home' waiting for my return. My son's father is no longer in the picture, and my brother watches him while I'm gone.[/indent]
[color=lightblue]☬ Also Knowing ☬[/color]
[indent]I was in the Marines a few years back. Since having Phoenix I've left that life behind, for the most part. Still visit some of my old brothers and sisters at arms from time to time, though. I also brought along with me, my old battle buddy, [url=https://hoplitetacticalsupplies.com/images/stories/virtuemart/product/702900_full.png]Coyote[/url]. (pronounced 'k-eye-oat') He's missing his front left leg, and wears a [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/63/4c/56/634c5637667eecbff946c750721adb4e.jpg]prosthetic[/url] one. He lost it in the last fight he fought in, beside me. Since then, he's been retired. They were going to put him down until I spoke up and adopted him. No soldier left behind![/indent]

[center][h3]No, There Ain't No Rest For The Wicked[/h3][/center]
[color=lightblue]☬ Personality ☬[/color]
[indent]I'd think others would see me as a semi-quiet person, one who doesn't particularly enjoy speaking up for herself which by default makes me an excellent soldier. I am well disciplined and am a great leader, when it comes to being a Marine. As a regular person though, it goes without saying that about 98% of the people who meet me instantly love me. I am a real people person once I warm up to someone, and am very friendly upon meeting new people but can be super shy at times as well. Once you get to know me, I'll be one of your most trusted and loyal friends. Or, at least I hope I can be. I expect a lot of myself, and put others needs before my own. I am very family-oriented when it comes to my brothers and sisters of the service. I'm definitely different. Some might even say I'm difficult. They're right, because truth of the matter is I'm complicated.[/indent]
[color=lightblue]☬ Quirks | Habits ☬[/color]
[indent]
→ Always knowing what direction I am heading in.
→ I have a weakness for rescuing stray animals.
→ When dining out, before I leave, I always tidy up the dishes into neat stacks and reset condiments.
→ I tend to be roughly ten to thirty minutes early to any kind of appointment, meetings, etc. I like to be punctual.
→ I have a fifty cent piece that I carry around in my pocket. When I get nervous/anxious/start to experience PTSD, I begin rolling it over my knuckles. I used to have a bad habit of biting my fingernails, but I've trained myself not to do that, anymore.[/indent]

[color=lightblue]☬ In-Depth Appearance ☬[/color]
[indent]I stand at a whopping 5'11" and weigh 154 lbs, sporting an athletic build. I have dark brown hair with highlighted ends, and golden-brown eyes to match them. I have slightly bigger hands than the average woman.. always hated that about me, honestly, but tend to come in handy more often than not. My lips are thin and pale, while my skin is sun-kissed and remains clear until around [i]that time of the month[/i] in which I break out in small areas on my face.I try to keep my make-up as minimum as possible, never really have been one to use it. All I really use is eyeliner and a bit of mascara. I've got a bit of a Mexican / Native American look to me, and if you heard my name before seeing my face, you'd think you were meeting the wrong person.[/indent]
[indent]Currently, I am wearing a white v-neck undershirt with my [url=http://picture-cdn.wheretoget.it/iw6e8u-i.jpg]grey sweatshirt[/url] and brown [url=http://www.famousmoviejackets.com/882/double-collar-women-bomber-brown-jacket.jpg]bomber jacket[/url] over it, and thick black jeans with dark brown [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/36/36/23/3636230448e0596054ce17271c2b6a8d.jpg]boots[/url] to go with the jacket. And my aviator glasses. Can't forget those, haha. I have a concealed [url=https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ec/Ka-bar.jpg]Ka-Bar[/url] in my jacket.[/indent]
[color=lightblue]☬ Accessories, Tattoos, Scars, etc. ☬[/color]
[indent]Well, let's see.. I've got quite a few scars, ranging from gunshot wounds, to stab wounds, to old scars from my childhood that cannot actually be seen anymore due to a tattoo now covering them up. I was a very emotionally disturbed child, back in the day, and took it upon my own free will to physically harm myself when my life began to head south. A tattoo of a [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/1e/01/36/1e01362480015b005e09d42c62510a80.jpg]black wolf[/url] now hides those ugly scars on my right thigh. On both feet, I have [url=http://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/s480x480/e15/11116657_100926176905915_1271934036_n.jpg?ig_cache_key=OTYyNTA5NDE2NTA0ODA4NTcx.2]wolf paws[/url] tattooed on. I've always felt a close, sort of 'native connection' to wolves and have seen myself as one for as long as I can remember. A lone wolf, at that. When surrounded by those I love, there isn't anything I wouldn't do for them. Many other reasons I can relate to wolves, but I'll save that for a later time. Right over my heart, I've got my [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/5a/3d/90/5a3d90be0cdaa9ba05ddb740bf51f583.jpg]family tree[/url] growing out of it. Crows fleeing from the half barren tree, a sort of symbol for the 'family' that left me behind those many moons ago. On each of my forearms, I have a [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/96/04/32/9604326259f890a9220e9fa980d5c4c7.jpg]quote[/url] surrounding a ship's wheel and an anchor that reads 'Be the one to guide me but never hold me down'. Each shoulder of mine is covered with black [url=http://data3.whicdn.com/images/104185235/thumb.jpg]raven wings[/url], and between those resides a tattoo of a small [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/50/75/9e/50759ec547c71f16981d56524f03fb97.jpg]Irish Claddagh[/url] just under the base of my neck. As for jewelry and accessories, I wear [url=http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa163/__CB__/tom-ford-aviator-sunglasses.jpg]aviators[/url] when out running errands or traveling outdoors. Around my neck, I have a [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/8b/e2/99/8be29930f36ce190c2528c44db1fba0f.jpg]paper crane necklace[/url] that my son picked out for me not too long ago. I never take it off. They accompany my dog tags. The [url=https://img0.etsystatic.com/101/0/8861621/il_570xN.923426480_beg3.jpg]ring[/url] I wear on my right ring finger is an old ring of my mom's that was actually the engagement ring from my father. They never married, but I kept it after she passed as a reminder of the love I never got to see them in, as a child.[/indent]

[color=lightblue]☬ Business or Pleasure? ☬[/color]
[indent]A bit of both, I guess. I got on this plane to Beijing for some business with some old Army buddies of mine who reside in China.[/indent]
[color=lightblue]☬ Indoor or Outdoor Type? ☬[/color]
[indent]You can say I'm quite the outdoorsman. Before I was in the Marines, I went camping quite often. No bull crap camping, either. Pitching a tent, laying under the stars, making a campfire, defending your camp from bears and coons, kind of camping. All of it. Hiking is also a hobby of mine. My son loves going with me, too.[/indent]
