==History==
===Background===
===Interview with a Vampire===
{{quote| So what? You'll protect me then? Come on, Hix. You haven't even named your sword. | Tengaar}}


Tengaar is the daughter of [[Zorak]], the leader of [[Warrior's Village]]. Tengaar grew up with [[Hix]] and eventually the two became a couple<ref>"She and Hix have known each other since they were kids and now they're a couple." - Richmond ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>.
Tengaar was the daughter of [[Zorak]], who was the Chief of [[Warriors' Village]]. Growing up alongside [[Hix]], their childhood bond eventually blossomed into a romantic relationship. Hix had actually made a childhood promise to marry Tengaar, which she took to heart though Hix had long since forgotten that particular vow.


She was characterized by a bright and cheerful personality, albeit occasionally tempered by her frustration with Hix's indecisiveness, in contrast to her own forthright nature. Deeply devoted to Hix, Tengaar's love for him was unwavering, prompting her to fiercely defend him when necessary.

{{quote| I'll be waiting for you, Hix. | Tengaar}}
However, her life took an unexpected turn when she fell victim to [[Neclord]]'s kidnapping scheme, intending to make her his bride. In response, Hix courageously embarked on a mission to free her and, with the aid of the [[Toran Liberation Army]], succeeded in rescuing Tengaar.


Tengaar was kidnapped by [[Neclord]], who planned to make her his bride. Hix and [[Tir McDohl]] set out to free her; during the battle with Neclord, Hix named his sword after Tengaar.
Remarkably, during her captivity under Neclord, Tengaar remained steadfast in her belief that Hix would eventually come to her rescue. Following their victorious battle against Neclord, both Tengaar and Hix decided to join the ranks of the Liberation Army. At [[Toran Castle]], she could often be seen lamenting Hix's progress with his swordsmanship.


After being rescued, Tengaar, along with Hix, joined the [[Toran Liberation Army]].
Upon the conclusion of the [[Gate Rune War]], Tengaar completed her service with the Liberation Army and accompanied Hix on a journey. Their objective was to assist him in undertaking his [[Manhood Ceremony]], a pivotal rite of passage.


Following the end of the [[Gate Rune War]], Tengaar accompanied Hix on a journey<ref>"Follows Hix on his journey." - Tengaar's Ending Text ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.
===The Test of the Unicorn===
{{quote| C'mon, Hix. Get it together. | Tengaar}}


===Suikoden II===
Embarking on their journey together, Tengaar's headstrong nature occasionally clashed with Hix's more timid personality. Nevertheless, they shared tender moments that revealed the depth of her affection for him. One main motivation for her pushing Hix to complete his Manhood Ceremony was so they could get married.
{{quote| Please Lord Riou. Please make Hix into a true warrior. | Tengaar}}


Tengaar and Hix eventually travelled to the [[City-States of Jowston]] in order to undergo the [[Test of the Unicorn]] in [[Kobold Village (Dunan)|Kobold Village]]. However, when they arrived, they found that Kobold Village no longer practiced the ritual. The Chief of Kobold Village agreed to help Tengaar create a test for Hix after hearing that she and Hix were from Warrior's Village, the home of [[Clift]]<ref>"The Holy Warrior Klift, who founded the Warriors' Village, is a legend here. When I heard you were from there, I offered to help this young lady." - Chief of Kobold Village ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>. As Tengaar pretended to be under the [[Curse of the Unicorn]], the Chief sent Hix on a quest for items to cure her.

Their journey eventually led them to the [[City-States of Jowston]], where they sought to undergo the Test of the Unicorn in [[Kobold Village (Suikoden II)|Kobold Village]]. With the support of the [[Hero (Suikoden II)|leader]] of the [[New Alliance Army]], Tengaar and Hix embarked on the trial.


Once Hix had gathered all the necessary items, Tengaar and the residents of Kobold Village went into the forest to congratulate Hix. There, much to the surprise of the Kobold villagers, the unicorn [[Sigfried]] appeared before them and recognized Hix as a warrior.  
During the trial, the kobold chief collaborated with them to orchestrate a fabricated curse, compelling Hix to face a "trial." Ultimately, the [[unicorn]] [[Siegfried]] appeared before them and acknowledged Hix's worthiness. She was genuinely proud of Hix's efforts, even though the trial was initially fraudulent, knowing he would do anything for her.


Though their reason for coming to the City-States of Jowston was complete, Tengaar and Hix joined the [[New State Army]] in order to repay [[Riou]] for helping Hix<ref>"Sir Riou helped you so much, we have to repay that debt." - Tengaar ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>. Tengaar continued to remind Hix of his need to become a great warrior<ref>"Tengaar got really mad at me today. I guess it's really important to her that I become a “true warrior”, huh?" - Hix ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>, though she felt he did not put enough effort towards that goal<ref>"That Hix just won't do his training every day like he's supposed too. He'll never become a warrior that way." - Tengaar ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>.
Having achieved their goal in the City-States of Jowston, Tengaar and Hix expressed their gratitude by joining the New Alliance Army. Following the conclusion of the [[Dunan Unification War]], Tengaar continued her journey alongside Hix while anticipating his proposal.


Following the end of the [[Dunan Unification War]], Tengaar continued to journey with Hix<ref>"Continues his "coming of age"  journey with Tengaar." - Hix's Ending Text ([[Suikoden II]])</ref> while waiting for him to propose<ref>"Received village's blessing for marriage, currently waiting for Hix to propose." - Tengaar ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>.

Tengaar (テンガアール, Tengaāru) is a supporting character in Suikoden and Suikoden II. Tengaar is a headstrong woman from Warriors' Village who was nearly forced to marry the vampire Neclord.

History

Interview with a Vampire

So what? You'll protect me then? Come on, Hix. You haven't even named your sword.

—  Tengaar

Tengaar was the daughter of Zorak, who was the Chief of Warriors' Village. Growing up alongside Hix, their childhood bond eventually blossomed into a romantic relationship. Hix had actually made a childhood promise to marry Tengaar, which she took to heart though Hix had long since forgotten that particular vow.

She was characterized by a bright and cheerful personality, albeit occasionally tempered by her frustration with Hix's indecisiveness, in contrast to her own forthright nature. Deeply devoted to Hix, Tengaar's love for him was unwavering, prompting her to fiercely defend him when necessary.

Start as you mean to go on, I say.

However, her life took an unexpected turn when she fell victim to Neclord's kidnapping scheme, intending to make her his bride. In response, Hix courageously embarked on a mission to free her and, with the aid of the Toran Liberation Army, succeeded in rescuing Tengaar.

Remarkably, during her captivity under Neclord, Tengaar remained steadfast in her belief that Hix would eventually come to her rescue. Following their victorious battle against Neclord, both Tengaar and Hix decided to join the ranks of the Liberation Army. At Toran Castle, she could often be seen lamenting Hix's progress with his swordsmanship.

Upon the conclusion of the Gate Rune War, Tengaar completed her service with the Liberation Army and accompanied Hix on a journey. Their objective was to assist him in undertaking his Manhood Ceremony, a pivotal rite of passage.

The Test of the Unicorn

C'mon, Hix. Get it together.

—  Tengaar

Embarking on their journey together, Tengaar's headstrong nature occasionally clashed with Hix's more timid personality. Nevertheless, they shared tender moments that revealed the depth of her affection for him. One main motivation for her pushing Hix to complete his Manhood Ceremony was so they could get married.

It takes two to converse; one to talk and one to listen.

Their journey eventually led them to the City-States of Jowston, where they sought to undergo the Test of the Unicorn in Kobold Village. With the support of the leader of the New Alliance Army, Tengaar and Hix embarked on the trial.

During the trial, the kobold chief collaborated with them to orchestrate a fabricated curse, compelling Hix to face a "trial." Ultimately, the unicorn Siegfried appeared before them and acknowledged Hix's worthiness. She was genuinely proud of Hix's efforts, even though the trial was initially fraudulent, knowing he would do anything for her.

Having achieved their goal in the City-States of Jowston, Tengaar and Hix expressed their gratitude by joining the New Alliance Army. Following the conclusion of the Dunan Unification War, Tengaar continued her journey alongside Hix while anticipating his proposal.
