I am retconning everything that Adha was before. Same backstory and personality and the sort, but she is now a man and has a different name. Any evidence he was a female before does not exist, or that his name was ever Adhafera does not exist either. He was always Ejderhe as far as anyone ICly is concerned.

Basic information
ESO name: @Vulfreim
Character Name: Ejderhe
Race: Khajiit
Age: 27
Sex: Male
Sexual Orientation: No preference.

Physical Description
Ejderhe is an auburn brown striped khajiit with red eyes and a black mane, and has a piercing on his right ear. He is somewhat svelte but tends to appear a bit chubby, mostly because he has a bigger torso. He is in shape, however. He carries an axe primarily but also has a bow for hunting.
As for outfits... just look at what he's wearing. He'll often wear a robe or some coat-like ensemble. [Since I keep changing his apparel, this is a bad reference to what he'll be wearing. Bear with me.]
He has a few pets she sometimes brings with her. His dog, Jakob, was a stray she took along with him during his schooling days. His cat Ketchup was a gift from his sister, and his panther Bites-Ankles was taken from a recently broke Argonian he encountered on one of his wanderings who could no longer care for it.

Flairs: Ejderhe has a scar over his left eye from when he was younger that never fully recovered. He keeps a necklace under his robe as it was a gift made from his little sister.

Personality
Likes:
-Painting/art
-Fighting
-Hunting
-Money (but who doesn't?)
-Anything cryptic/artifact related
-Woodworking and alchemy-- he's good at both things
-Small animals, like mice-- he thinks they're cute and can't eat them.

Dislikes:
-Insects-- this is quite embarrassing for him, and this is a secret kept from everyone. What man is scared of bugs?
-Maps/travelling, any of the merchant nonsense... he never actually got it
-The heat, he can barely handle it
-Strenuous exercise... sure, he hunts and travels and fights, but that's it. None of the jumping jacks pushups nonsense for him.

Strengths:
-Very protective of his friends and will do anything for them while also providing a sort of tough love as encouragement
-Is a rather strong fighter and can generally hold his own in an even match
-Despite temper, he doesn't easily lose it and can be rational
-Does not easily get bored and can stay focused, but this is when he has nothing on his mind.
-Will speak his mind.

Weaknesses:
-Untrusting, which can sometimes prove to be a bane in combat situations, but also with making connections
-A bit self conscious about himself and not very confident in his more passive hobbies and abilities, like her art and woodworking skills. He is also ashamed of the fact he isn't very cultured for a khajiit and doesn't know the ancient language of his people. He never had time to learn due to the travelling and the tamrielic everyone he met was speaking-- so that's all he knows.
-Can get quite defensive with confrontation about something that is likely untrue, or he doesn't want to discuss-- he hates being pressed
-When he's drunk, he's DRUNK. Can become feisty and flirtatious, and really wouldn't be afraid to hit on anyone or punch them in the throat.
-Will speak his mind-- although a good thing, he can also come across as rude.

Ejderhe is normally cool and collected, and tends to keep to himself most of the time, but when someone is close enough to him he becomes more outgoing. He also has a bit of a no-nonsense rough attitude that results in him often cussing and even being a little loud. He does have a gentle side to him that he only displays to those who are very close to him (his partner and his family, best friends, etc) and he is willing to provide a shoulder to lean on for anyone who needs it. Ejderhe is friendly to strangers but will keep a distance from them, for he is untrusting and can never trust anyone 100%-- he has no problem striking up a conversation with said strangers, however, but will not delve into anything personal unless he befriends them and they've bonded enough. He is also short tempered and the smallest things can make him angry, but he always tries to calm himself down the moment he feels angry, for he will snap viciously if provoked enough. He wants to keep that rationality, or at least be as close to rational as he can be.
If he is involved romantically with someone, or at the very least interested, he will often be forward and flirtatious, even making suggestive comments and actions. His past at some point, well... he was a bit whorish. He will remain committed to anyone he's involved with, but it won't stop him from flirting, even when sober.
However, when he feels vulnerable (in any sort of emotional sense), he will revert to the typical khajiit third person speech.
He does say what he wants to say, even if it's rude, and it can make him unlikable.

Background
Ejderhe was born Mid-Year 12, under the sign The Steed, and originated from Elsweyr where his father was a merchant and his mother was a warrior. Because his father was a skilled tradesman who made great deals most of the time, the family was often travelling outside of Elsweyr to make business all over Tamriel. When Ejderhe was around 13 years old, his mother gave birth to his younger sister, Kha'drii, who was born on the outskirts of Cyrodiil in the midst of a trip for business. After spending time in Cyrodiil for merchant work, Ejderhe's father gets an offer for a very good deal and the family travels, only to get attacked. Of course Ejderhe's mother was a skilled warrior and took on a group of 10 while telling the family to run, which they did, but his mother didn't make it and found out three days later when she never returned. Since then, Ejderhe's father rushed them back to Elsweyr to find his mother's old armor and weapons, pushing Ejderhe to train and train to make sure the same scenario doesn't happen to him-- he was also trained in the art of the Dragonknights, which his mother was. The khajiit grew up knowing only combat, and grew a gruff attitude after consistent exposure to his father without having any sort of softer side to him. Hating that, he secretly took up painting and writing, just to have a bit of a sensitivity to him. He also happily served as a secondary father figure for his sister and gently taught her to fight too, just in case something ever happened to her. After a rather consistent life, he decided to leave his father and his 7 year old sister to go explore once he was 20 years old, and he found herself being more and more interested in artifacts and anything cryptic, and he would research documents and ruins, figuring out what they meant and why they were there-- he became quite the historian, and enjoyed educating himself, so he took up other activities as well. Eventually woodworking and alchemy were subjects Ejderhe became fond of.
He made her way to Malabal Tor when he was newly 27, after finishing the basics of his education and self discovery, and made new friends after being rescued in a forest. He was subjected to vampirism shortly after his rescue, and was drinking potions from an Arkay priest who agreed to help him cloak it. The potions proved to be helpful, but the priest had spiked some of them to cure him. Ejderhe confronted him about it later, but he wasn't too mad-- it was a bit of a relief to not have to necessarily hide himself. On a hunt a bit later after his curing, he was attacked by a wolf (or what he thought was just a wolf) and was soon subject to lycanthropy. He found after his first transformation it made hunting easier and fun, even, so he decided to embrace it. Because of the whole two-forms sort of thing, his life expectancy is just a bit longer than what is typical of khajiits (whose lifespans are longer than humanoids to begin with), but he is perfectly mortal nonetheless.
