Tanaa

Tanaa is not human. She is Khotan, an alien race living on the planet Khota. She's a liaison to humans from her queen. The female Khotans are dominant. They hunt, fight, and compete for breeding males, who are smaller and weaker. The Khotan queen has captured two human males. Humans want the two men returned. Tanaa was sent to negotiate with humans. She is curious, very suspicious, cautious, and somewhat intrigued by human males. Her speech can be odd.
