Stage: Prentice
Race: Pure-blooded, Fire
Gender: Female
3 Base Traits:
Extrovert
Ziari is always ready to meet new people and goes head first into new relationships. She is almost 100% an open book about herself. This can, and does, tend to lead to others being a little overwhelmed by her open attitude. She will, however, try to bring those more comfortable in their own shell out into the open. Sometimes this works and sometimes it backfires on her.
Entitled
At first glance or meeting, Ziari can give off a sense of entitlement. And you wouldn't be completely wrong in that assumption. She has grown up getting what she wants and never wanting for anything and gets pouty if told no. This, however, is not all there is to Ziari and once you get to know her more personally, you will realize she's a caring person that just doesn't appreciate the word no.
Persistent
As a persistent person, Ziari has had more than one failed friendship in her life. For some, she comes on a little strong and they're put off by how much she insists out of the other person. Sometimes they're nice about it and just try to passively avoid her and other times people tell her how it is. While, in the short term, this makes Ziari pout and feel hurt, she eventually moves on, figuring that there are others out there more worth her time.
Personality: Ziari is a very confident person and has no problem being the center of attention. She is very adventurous and would likely be the first person in a group to suggest something to do (usually something they're not *supposed* to do). She thrives in crowds and makes friends very easily. Growing up, Ziari was from a household that was pretty well off. This meant that she usually got what she wanted and, in the long run, made her felt like she *deserved* those things. Even if she didn't actually do anything to deserve them. This mellows out more as she grows older but some of the stubborn entitledness sticks with her when she doesn't get her way. As a result of this, she's very honest with those around her and has no problem telling people how it is. Ziari is a persistent person and if she wants to find something out or get you to do something, she'll be damned it she quits before achieving her goal.
Description:
Clothing: Something similar to this during her first stage. After she picks her class it will change to something more convenient and less flowy...though I'm not 100% sure on that. So we'll see.
As a prentice she also likes silver jewelry. So any kind of baubles (bracelets, necklace, etc) you'd want to add would be loved (no piercings other than her nose, though, please.
Accessories: The silver jewelry around her crystals on her forehead (referenced in her description) are a constant thing as she grows. She also always tends to have some kind of decoration going on in her dreads. Different threads wrapped around (can be seen in collage references) and in the colors of the Oban. And sometimes even silver beads here and there.
History: Ziari was born and raised in the capitol of Oban, Sulburi. She lived in the heart of the city, amidst the stacked houses. Despite this, her home is spacious and one of the larger ones in the city. Ziari has never wanted for anything and has always been well take care of (even if it wasn't always by her parents). Even as a small child Ziari has felt the pull of adventure --- exploring and rough housing. "Things young ladies shouldn't do," her mother would say. She always shrugged it off and did her own thing. This remains a constant thing as she grows, getting her into trouble more than a few times. Ever since she was a little girl she's wanted to be a beast tamer, despite her mother's insistence that she find a calmer, safer, thing to do with her life.
Nazir - father
Samiya - mother
Her relationship with her parents is a pretty normal one, for someone well off. She loves them but the amount of time they're around is minuscule compared to the company she keeps with their "maid" (what would you refer to a maid as in Tendaji?). As she grows, this becomes a sort of excuse for Ziari to wander and do her own thing, veering away from the life that her parents might have wanted her to have.
Instead of a healer, and potential scholar (like her mother), Ziari has always had an affinity for the creatures around her. This leads to an interest in becoming a beast tamer.
Ziari always grew restless and found sitting down and sitting still for school work and books to be tedious. She's smart but she'd rather spend her time outdoors then stuck inside, surrounded by books.
So while her relationship with her parents is a strained one through her teenage years, Ziari still loves and adores her parents. She just thinks she should be allowed to do as she pleases, even if that means going off into the wilds after creatures she's never even seen before.
Younger cousin to Xilarn.
With only a couple of years between the two of them, Ziari and Zilarn were very close growing up. She loves him very much and was heart broken the day he came to her to tell her he was moving. Their closeness and bond allow them to confide in each other, things they might not tell others about or wait until more time has passed (hence Xil coming out as gay to Ziari way before anyone else). When the time for Xil to move comes, Ziari promises him that she will visit him again soon. And because of her persistence, this will likely come true sooner rather than later.
