Lean and muscular with earthen tan skin covered in silvery scars, mostly from abrasions but also a few blades and lashes.
A strict black ponytail hairstyle is pierced by seven short, ivory horns, and unremarkable brown eyes stare from an angular face that lends itself to sneering much more easily than to a smile.
Despite whatever all her other characteristics may convey, Xana Khan retains the air of a person that is confident, if not arrogant. Minor (and often, major) things in her body language - her walk, her stance, her expressions - reveal these feelings. At times, it seems she borders upon narcissism, especially judging from how much she enjoys her own company.
Xana Khan is extremely competitive and strives to become the best at every task she is given. The benefit of this cutthroat approach to life and work is that she will always give 100%, pushing herself to her physical or mental limits to overcome any task. However, Xana Khan’s overzealous ambition makes her insufferable to all but the most patient of companions, making it difficult to make friends while she either proves successful or utterly fails at being the best.
While generally laid back and more than happy to offer a quip of sarcasm, Xana Khan's entire demeanor changes once combat begins. She becomes focused and quiet, with her smile replaced with a look of grim determination.
Xana Khan is extremely cocksure and headstrong. Possessing a keen wit and exceptional level of intelligence, Xana Khan will often use her superior intellect to humiliate lesser minds. Basically, she is kind of a jerk, and that can sometimes get Xana Khan in a bit of trouble.
Through a mixture of cocksure courage and arrogant swagger, Xana Khan will not back down from a challenge when called out, even if the wiser path is to walk away or let it go. Xana Khan's personality does tend to rub a lot of people the wrong way, which generally puts her into situations that escalate quickly to violence. While she may not be the one to always start a fight, she will always see it through to it’s conclusion. Some have tried to play a challenge off as idle banter, but when Xana Khan initiates or accepts a challenge, she does not hold back.
Xana Khan utilizes the unpredictable sways and rapid sweeps of K'thri to set up and turbocharge Whiptree's bone-crushing throws and joint-popping locks, and likewise turns any escape from a hostile grasp or recovery from a knockdown into cartwheels and somersaults.
However, this personal style heavily relies on at least some room to maneuver being available, and its focus on duel sports leaves Xana horribly exposed when outnumbered.
