Welcome to Gaia! ::

❖ Her Evocation magic is activated through the use of thaumatergy, requiring her to speak or mime lines of incantations to use them. She can only speak four lines per post.
Divination
❖ Divine Casting (C): While Zarina does rely on mana, it is not generally from her in particular. She does have mana, however, her spells rely on blessings from the snake deity that grants her divination magic. As such, much mana is drawn from the world around her itself, being gifted to her to perform the spells that she casts. This man, as such, is divine as it is gifted to her by a deity. Additionally, it is far more potent and powerful than regular mana, allowing her to cast high-level spells. Most mages that use divination combine it with conjuration and enchantments to make powerful spells that bend things to their will. Zarina, however, uses the secondary class of divination to channel divine energy through her and cast immensely destructive spells.
❖ High Speed Incantation (C): Zarina, being a conduit for Zaphir, was granted knowledge beyond her years by the deity she chose to base her Divination school on. As such, he showed her how mages of the past coped with difficult and complex spells’ cast times. This led to her gaining this spell-like ability, allowing her to cast devastating spells with mere sentences and moderate spells with just a simple word. The downside is that she has to be able to speak to shorten the duration of the incantation, meaning that if her voice is sealed she has to rely on the spell’s normal casting time.
❖ Seals of the Divine One, Zaphir (B): Zarina is capable of using the divine mana within her to craft seals that are capable of sealing away the magical properties of certain creatures and items. For instance, she uses these seals to keep the effects of her gorgon and basilisk eyes from harming those around her. She can also use it to nullify the effects of magical items and even seal off the mana supply to Knights, so that they have to battle with their own ability. Unfortunately, she cannot seal away a natural connection to mana, such as a mage’s natural ability to generate and use mana. She also cannot seal away the magical properties of Armaments, as they are far too ancient and powerful for her to try.

Additionally, this spell can only be cast through direct contact from her or a conduit that is connected to her being, such as a Knight. As long as the person is not touched, she does not have the capability to seal anything. As such, this spell is very limited in its use except for battle preparation.
❖ Sight of Zaphir (C): This spell allows Zarina to gain clairvoyance, which allows her perfect vision. It lets her see through objects, see things from miles away as if they were right in front of her, and allows her to see that which should not be seen. It allows her to see mana, invisible creatures, and even the life force of people. She can see everything with these eyes, yet that does not mean she can understand what everything is. It is easy to identify what mana is, or even a creature’s life force. However, it is far more difficult to distinguish what certain things are, such as an item covered in mana being either an enchanted weapon or an armament. Specific details are beyond her when she uses this spell.
❖ Divining (D): This spell allows Zarina to look into the past or even the possible futures of people. This is one of the most common spells for all those that practice the magic in the school of divination.
❖ Spiritual Projection (C): This spell allows Zarina to project her soul, spirit, into the ethereal realm, allowing her to interact with the beings in it. This also allows her to attack people’s spirits as well, weakening their mana and such. Using this spell requires the user to meditate and chant the spell so that they are in a position in which their body will not die without the lack of a spirit. By doing so, they become immobile and unable to protect themselves. This technique is very common amongst those who practice divination.
❖ Teleportation (B): This spell allows Zarina to teleport to various areas within her line of sight or captured in photographs. A divine light covers her and takes her from one place to the next, pushing away anything that is currently residing in the spot she is going to. The beam of light shines brighter and brighter before dispersing. Then, she reappears in the same light at another location of her choice. She can also use this spell on other people, so long as she is capable of touching them. Additionally, she can place down signets around an area. Whoever touches these signets is instantly teleported to a place of her choice. She usually uses these as a defense mechanism.
❖ Flight (B): Zarina can cast flight to allow herself to float and fly through the air. She is simply suspended in the air by divine magic, which causes her to glow with a brilliant light as she uses it.
❖ Divine Purge (S): This spell is one of Zarina’s greatest spells. Using the divine energy in her body, she focuses all of it into a single point and then expands it across an area, using the divine energy’s concentrated effect to eradicate anything that is not divine as well. Additionally, this effectively purges the user’s body off all effects, poisons, and detriments, as well as purging everyone else within the effective range of it. All magic that comes into contact with its radius-of-effect is instantly obliterated if it is not of divine origin, due to the sheer power of the concentrated energy. It does not, however, harm anyone that is not demonic or undead in some way.

Additionally, all creatures of demonic or undead origins are turned by this ability, and if they are too weak they are obliterated entirely. The divine attributes of the ability attempt to purge them, which means that they need to either start fleeing from it or face utter destruction by the concentration of divine energy. The after effects of the blast also prevent them from entering the area-of-effect due to the residual divine energy that was left over, or else they face severe detrimental effects due to the concentration of divine mana flowing about. In short, it is almost like a poison that halves all of their stats and makes them feel nauseous if they choose to venture into the after-effect range. This lasts for five of the user’s posts.

Finally, the cost for using this ability is that the user can only use their own mana for seven posts, losing the ability to use divine mana temporarily. Additionally, they cannot gather enough mana to use purge for a second time until after ten posts by the user.
Evocation
❖ Blossoming Snow-Lotus (SS): This spell is Zarina’s greatest spell in her arsenal due to its incredibly powerful effects. Upon chanting the twelve-line spell, shortened to three with high speed incantation, Zarina unleashes a powerful blast of ice from around her. This blast slowly forms and shapes itself into a destructive force that starts freezing everything within the surrounding area, creating large structures and destroying everything around it. Buildings, castles, the ice penetrates and destroys it all in its expansion. Once finished, the spell resembles a giant lotus flow that has blossomed with Zarina standing in the middle of it.

The effects of this spell are not just the immediate ice-based destruction it causes. This spell causes the air to become extremely cold, capable of causing incapacitation if the enemy is not prepared for the sheer temperature drop. After exposure to the spell occurs, it takes around four posts before the enemy begins to suffer debilitating effects from continued exposure to it. This includes frost bite, their body slowing down due to the cold, their body parts beginning to freeze over and become part of the ice structure, and even hypothermia. Additionally, if the enemy did not escape the initial blast, there is a chance they are either frozen within it, pierced by it, or simply tossed many, many yards away by the impact of the spell’s expansion.

This structure lasts for twenty posts once it is created and any ice-spell that is cast within the structure has a magnified effect that increases the spell’s strength by one rank. Additionally, any water spell that is cast within the structure instantly freezes and becomes useless upon conjuration. The structure has a two-mile radius and is over eighty feet in height, various petals sometimes reaching over a mile into the air. Once the twenty posts are over with, the structures effects may end, but it takes days, maybe even weeks for the structure itself to fully melt due to its mass. The rate it melts at depends on the location. In some places, such as Yuki no Okoku, the ice structure is permanent, and as such Zarina can continually funnel mana into it to generate its effects.

This spell can only be used once per battle. Additionally, it cannot differentiate between friend or foe, attacking both equally.
❖ Maelstrom of Ice (A): This spell, like the name suggests, is a destruction spell that creates a giant storm of hail capable of destroying most large structures. It rips through people, buildings, and even large creatures with great efficiency. Additionally, flying creatures and people who attempt to fly in it get caught in the storm’s torrential winds, being bludgeoned twice as badly as other people due to being flung around in the storm. This storm lasts for four to five posts and requires eight lines to chant. This is shortened to two by high speed incantation.
❖ Destructive Ice (B): This is a general use ice spell that Zarina likes to use as her standard method of attack. It consists of an ice blast that can be shaped into different projectiles or even used to freeze people solid. It requires only one word to be spoken by Zarina using high speed incantation and only a single phrase without it. This is the spell she has practice the most with in her life.
❖ Mana Blast (C): Following the same principles of Destructive Ice, this is a spirit variant of it that is simply blasts of concentrated mana that is capable of blasting away other people. Additionally, this blast affects spirit creatures and the like. It is a single line, and thus it is one word with high speed incantation. While using divine mana, this spell has a divine attribute.
❖ Cloud of Destruction (B): This spell generates a large cloud that rains down concentrated mana energy on her opponents. It is destructive, but not as much as maelstrom. It also is only useful as a destructive ability and is not controllable at all, leaving Zarina as the only person incapable of being hurt. The cloud is actually quite small, covering about the length of five, standard houses. It is three lines normally, and one line with high-speed incantation.
❖ Water Manipulation (C+): This spell is a very simple water spell that allows the user to control the water around them and form it into a tsunami, whirlpool, or even a false hurricane. This spell can form various objects out of water that can be used to fight. This spell is always just a single word.
❖ Ice Manipulation (C+): This spell is a very simple ice spell that allows the controller to use ice around them to make weapons, freeze people, and attack others. This spell is always just a single word.
❖ Sigils of Destruction (B): By infusing certain magic sigils with an affinity, Zarina can cause these sigils to erupt with that element, inflicting massive damage on opponents that trigger them. The sigils are much like the teleportation, signets, only they glow different colors depending on the element associated. Blue is water, light blue is ice, white is spirit, and gold is infused with divine mana and a random element. Once triggered, the effect is a randomized attack that could simply be an explosion of the element, or maybe a concentrated attack such as an ice spike erupting from the ground. It will always be an attack, however, due to its status as evocation magic.
❖ Poseidon’s Passion (A+): Zarina’s strongest water spell, Poseidon’s Passion is very similar to the Blossoming Snow-Lotus. The difference, however, is that this spell will disperse completely once it is finished. Water is drawn from the ground, lakes, oceans, and magically generated to create a giant dome of water to entrap enemies in while leaving an air pocket for Zarina to stand in. Much like Snow-Lotus, bystanders can get caught in this attack as well. Once within the domain of water, it will start generating destructive spirals that can cut and maim even dragons, ripping all those trapped within it to shreds should they not be prepared for it. From the outside, it appears to be a giant, spiraling orb of water that resembles some strange, whirlpool-orb.

This spell lasts for four of the user’s posts and can be escaped if the ones trapped manage to fling themselves out of the water. The closer they get to the air bubble, however, the more destructive it becomes, effectively cutting them to ribbons if they attempt to approach Zarina while this spell is cast. The best option for it is to simply retreat outside of it and wait till it ends. Once ended, it will take an additional six posts before she can cast it once again. While casting this spell, she cannot cast any other spells, meaning that she is effectively out of the battle until four turns are over with. This spell is twelve lines and with high speed incantation it becomes three.
❖ Glacial Explosion (B): This spell allows Zarina to create multiple lines across the ground that erupt with powerful force, creating ice as they do. This ice is jagged and sharp, expanding out and cutting anything that they come into contact with as they grow out. Additionally, the momentum behind them is capable of tossing people many yards away, knocking even trolls as far as seven yards away. This spell is four lines and becomes one when spoken with high speed incantation.
❖ Orbs of Destruction (B+): This destruction magic takes the form of mana orbs that can be controlled and placed around a designated area. As long as they are sustained, they will last until the Mage falls unconscious. These orbs, despite seeming to act as light, will detonate at will or upon being touched by the enemy, creating a massive explosion of mana that can eradicate low level enemies with ease. This is defensive-type destruction magic, usually set up before a battle or while someone is watching for enemies. The concussive force of the blasts is immense, capable of throwing back even ogres. This spell is an eight line spell, and it is a two line spell with high speed incantation.
❖ Final Soul (A+): Final Soul is the strongest spirit-based evocation magic that Zarina possesses. By using the affinity of spirits, she creates a massive amount of condensed mana that sucks in mana around it in an attempt to sustain itself. This essentially creates a black-hole-type phenomenon with a single point of energy that pulls every bit of energy within the area into it to fuel itself. The result, however, is merely the continued condensing of more and more energy as the black hole fuels itself. Whatever creatures that are unfortunate to find themselves sucked into this palm-sized black hole will find themselves exposed to pure, unfiltered and super-condensed mana. The effect is that it will burn and disintegrate them from the exposure to pure, raw soul energy. The effect it has on the outside world is that it creates gigantic winds that pull enemies in her direction and into the black hole. This has its greatest effect on flying enemies that make use of the sky.

The secondary, effect, however, is the eventual collapse of the black hole. Once it has consumed too much energy, it will collapse in on itself and explode with immense force, unleashing the raw energy upon all those nearby. Zarina, however, is capable of directing the energy in a specific direction. This results in a large beam of energy that shoots for from her palm capable of eradicating most things from sheer exposure to raw mana. This spell lasts for three posts before the explosion occurs, blasting the beam on the fourth turn. It is a twelve line spell that is shortened to three lines with high speed incantation.
❖ Spirit Reversion (C): This spell allows Zarina to eradicate spirits by using the opposite charge of their energy to disperse their mana. This only works on beings composed of only spiritual energy and it essentially erases them, turning them back into the mana that they were born from. This spells requires a single word to be uttered at any given time.
❖ Icicle (C): Zarina uses this spell to create sharp icicles capable of slashing flesh. These icicles vary in size, being the size of small knives to the size of great swords. It depends on how much mana she uses to form the icicles themselves. This spell only needs a single words to be uttered at any given time.
❖ Water Whips (C): Zarina uses this spell to create tendrils of water that will whip around and slash at her enemies should they get within range of her. She can create a maximum of eight tendrils. The whips crack with enough force to knock back most medium-sized creatures. She can also combine them to make them larger and more powerful. This spell requires a single word to be uttered at any given time.
❖ Song of Destruction (C): Zarina uses this spell to combine her voice with mana, allowing her to unleash devastating sound waves that can cause hearing loss and disorient her enemies. The sound of her voice, while beautiful, is incredibly harmful to those who hear it, causing them immense pain. This spell only requires a single word to be uttered at any given time. It lasts three posts and combines with her natural ability to cast spells, allowing her casting to be harmful for others to hear.
❖ Reverberate (D): This spell grants Zarina the ability to cause things to shake and shatter with her voice. It turns her voice into a weapon capable of destroying various objects that she so desire. It can be cast with a single word at any given time.
❖ Rebuke Undead (C): This spell allows Zarina to obliterate an undead creature with evocation magic. She does this by casting mana over it with a spirit affinity, driving the spirit from the body and obliterating from exposure to raw mana. This has no effect on anything that is living. It can be cast with a single word at any given time.
❖ Mana Disc (C): This is a simple spell that creates a disc of pure mana. It is capable of being thrown great distances and is guided by the user’s will, making it incredibly accurate. It has a maximum distance of two hundred feet. It will cut through anything that comes into contact with it and can explode on command. This spell can be cast with a single word at any given time.
❖ Water of Disintegration (B): This spell creates a large orb of water that is capable of obliterating all those trapped within it. Once inside the orb, it will begin dissolving all those trapped in it until there is nothing left. With enough force, a person can break out of the orb of water. Rather than boiling someone alive or anything like that, it acts more like an acid that eats away at the layers of skin. If exposed to the water for more than two posts, it will begin slowly killing whoever is in it until ten posts comes to pass. At that point, they will have been completely disintegrated. This spell takes four lines to cast and one with high speed incantation.
Unison: Divine Evocation Spells
❖ Song of Divinity (A): The Song of Divinity is a high-powered spell that combines divinity magic with spirit evocations magic. Much like Song of Destruction, it combines mana with the voice of Zarina, however, it also amplifies it with the power of divinity to extreme levels. While the song will have the usual effect it normally has, it is louder, stronger, and capable of bringing people to their knees. Additionally, her voice is capable of obliterating the demonic and the undead if they listen to her for too long. Every turn they spend fighting her while she is using this spell, they take massive divine damage and hearing damage. Necromancy is dispelled by this ability as well, the divine sound waves disrupting the dark magic that is keeping them together. All undead and demonic creatures must flee from her within four posts or face permanent damage from the attack. Her voice also carries divine energy, meaning the soundwaves themselves are harmful. As such, simply blocking out the noise will only protect them from hearing damage, as the waves will still bounce off of them and inflict divine damage.

As with the Song of Destruction, this spell can be combined with her natural ability to use spells, allowing her to harm others as she casts spells. The effects of this spell last for ten posts, and the longer people are exposed to it the more likely they are to suffer greater hearing damage. At the end of ten posts, however, the severe drawback is that she loses her voice for an entire day, forcing her to mime her spells from then on out and spend the full time casting them. This also means that she is incapable of using her vocal destruction spells, as she does not have a voice anymore. Additionally, no one is safe from this attack, causing her allies to become damaged as well if they do not have a way to block out the noise.

This spell takes 32 lines to cast normally, and with high speed incantation it is a total of eight lines.
❖ Divine Sphere (A): The Divine Sphere is a divine water evocation spell capable of immense destruction. Imbuing the water spell with divine mana, this spell form a gigantic, spiraling orb of water much like Poseidon’s Passion. Instead, however, it hovers in the air above everyone, looming over them with its destructive presence. If it is dropped on the ground, it will begin to tear away at everything below, spiraling and tearing away at all those who happened to get caught up in its fall. Additionally, it asks as a whirlpool as it unravels on the ground, continuing to spiral and cut into people as it sucks them towards the center of it for maximum damage. The surrounding area is also pulled into the orb’s destructive effects, meaning that those caught within have to deal with debris and other hazards spiraling around in the deathly whirlpool’s grasp.

As the water is imbued with divine properties, any undead or demonic creatures caught in the attack will be assaulted by divine damage as well as the cutting attacks the spell normally causes. Unless they escape from it, the water will weaken their bodies to the point that they will be cut to ribbons before they ever reach the center of the unraveling whirlpool. Additionally, this soaks the area in divine water, preventing any undead or demonic creatures from touching the ground that any of the water touched. This means that, unless the creatures can fly, they cannot approach Zarina once this spell has been used. The water will dissipate after a day or so, unless it happens to rain, much like regular water.

This spell does not differentiate friend from foe and will attack them both alike. Additionally, to cast this spell, Zarina has to speak 64 lines. With high speed incantation, this is shortened to sixteen lines.
❖ Wrath of Zaphir (A+): Combining spirit evocation and divination magic, this spell creates hundreds of thousands of spheres of energy around the battlefield composed of hyper-condensed divine mana. Just one of these orbs is capable of destroying an entire room in a building, outright obliterating anything within it. The concussive force behind them is also incredible, capable of knocking back even adult dragons with their explosive power. Additionally, the orbs can be combined to form bigger and bigger orbs, adding onto the explosive power of each individual orb.

This attack is only somewhat controllable. While Zarina can order which orbs are used, she can only command them to fall to the ground in a singular path and smite whatever is at the end of that path. As such, she cannot have it follow anyone around and hit them based on her will. She has to calculate where her enemy is going to be and attack them accordingly. If those calculations are correct, however, the orbs have the ability to take down high-level creatures. Undead and demonic enemies are obliterated by the orbs, taking twice as much damage as other beings. Additionally, the residual mana left over from their explosion acts as a deterrent, causing pain for any demonic or undead creatures that approach it.

This spell lasts until all of the orbs have been fired towards her enemies. Additionally, this spell requires the user to speak 96 lines to use it. With high speed incantation, the amount becomes 24 lines to cast the spell.
❖ White End (S): White end is Zarina’s strongest spell physically. The only reason it is not her greatest spell is because of the versatility of Blossoming Snow-Lotus, the spell being highly destructive and making her attacks more destructive. White End, however, will obliterate anything caught in it with an icy winter. The spell generates a frost that is capable of instantly freezing all those caught within it. This spell starts at where Zarina is standing and then begins to spread out around her at a rapid pace due to the divine mana infused within it. The ground, trees, enemies, it does not matter what is around her, this spell will instantly freeze it and move on like a living being, wanting nothing more than to expand and expand until it has consumed everything. This spell does not pierce, nor does it bludgeon enemies. Instead, it murders them by freezing them solid and shatters them.

Additionally, due to the divine properties of this spell, the ice that it creates will never melt unless met with divine fire or equal or higher caliber. Even then, those that are frozen by this spell or more likely to die than be revived from being thawed out by the fire, due to needing to be unfrozen in one instance, or at least within one minute. In addition, anyone who is touched after they have been frozen have a fifty percent chance of being cracked instantly, breaking apart and dying from the touch. The land that this spell affects will not recover by natural means either. Divine warmth would need to spread out across whatever it touched, and then the land would have to be reborn, the grass replanted, and trees revived. Essentially, it brings a wintery end to every last living thing within its boundaries.

This spell is the ultimate attack spell of Zarina, and combined with her Blossoming Snow-Lotus can obliterate an entire village if she used them in conjunction. As such, this spell has the greatest casting time of all of her spells. It takes a full 128 lines to cast this spell. With high speed incantation, it still takes a full 32 lines to be able to cast this spell, making it very difficult to cast it in battle, nearly impossible. Additionally, the spell’s ice extends twenty feet per post, the post it being cast generating ice twenty feet around her instantly.

❖ Generally, one could say that Zarina is a rather friendly person that seems to be quite passionate about what she wants from the world. She does not give off the chipper attitude one might except from her appearance, and instead she has the attitude of a very conniving creature. She seems secretive and skulks around, watching people from the shadows and merely observing large groups of adventurers. Now, some people might mistake this sort of attitude for some sort of shy personality, yet that is not the case at all. No, she is like a creature that stalks and watches its prey, learns its movements, and then moves in for the kill when they are least expecting it. Regardless of whether people are her allies or not, she observes habits that they have and their attitudes, silently judging all those before her. This is so she can determine whether or not it is worth her time to associate with those people or not. Irrational people, frustrating people, and those that seem to be against the idea of more monstrous humanoids are among people that she watches out for.

Now, this fake shy personality may be her most dominant trait of who she is, but that is not the only part about her that makes up her personality. She is, in the shortest possible explanation, a very lazy person. She is a slob that lays around, naps, and tries her best to convince others to do everything for her instead of trying to do anything herself. Getting food, going on adventures, or even casting her own spells seem like a lot of work for the “young” woman, and she would rather spend her time trying to enjoy every possible second in the most leisurely way possible. This usually involves her curling up near some sort of cold, icy structure and staying there for hours, sometimes even days. This very lazy attitude usually leads people to pass her off as some shy, adorable girl that only wants to be taken care of by all the people around her. In reality, however, this is one of the many manipulative aspects to her personality that she uses to her advantage.

Zarina is not above using her looks or her attitude to her advantage, often using them in combination to get most people to do what she wants them to do. After all, if you have the capabilities to manipulate people, then that is probably what you should do, right? This manipulative aspect of her has led many intelligent people to come to dislike her greatly, viewing her as a greedy, conniving little snake that is extremely ungrateful for everything that she has. While this may hold some truth, Zarina finds those types of people to be hypocritical. After all, they use their intelligence to manipulate people into believing their ideas and theories to pass off their own agendas. She merely uses what attributes were bestowed to her upon birth to gain the proper advantage due to her. If they can manipulate people into listening and it be alright, then she can manipulate them into doing and it be perfectly fine. That is the logic that she lives by. It is not immoral to her, simply a fact of life that gives her advantage.

Additionally, Zarina is also a glutton in every sense of the word. If there is some type of food nearby that she can eat, then she is going to try her best to procure and eat that food as best she can. If a person puts a basket of fruit in front of her and says to have as much as she would like, then they would find themselves with an empty basket without even the seeds of the fruit. She is so gluttonous that she swallows her food whole, trying to save as much time as possible before she starts shoveling more food into her. While this usually does not prove to be too detrimental to her in society, she has been known to get into trouble with one food in particular. Eggs. Her natural snake instinct kicks in whenever she is around eggs and she cannot help herself. Whatever the egg, whatever the creature that made the egg, she will try to eat it, and if she can help it she will eat it whole. Cooked, uncooked, no egg is safe from her wrath! She will consume them regardless of how much danger it puts her in, with only the most life-threatening of situations preventing her from doing so. This has caused her to get into tremendous trouble with those around her, often getting scolded for this bad habit that she has. Even if she is caught in the act of eating the egg, she will simply look at the person who has caught her for a few seconds before slowly going back to consuming the delicious food.

Aside from delicious food, there are other quirks and aspects to her personality. She is revolted by the sight of birds and bird-like creatures. Dragons are fine… but harpies are not. Anything bird-like in any way is met with hatred and disgust by the woman, wanting nothing to do with them. Often, she finds herself in the corner of a room glaring at the from behind a chair or something of similar comedic effect. Their very presence sets off her natural instinct to start a fight with them, as it is only natural for birds and snakes to dislike one another. Because of her dislike of birds, she has many problems with things like messenger birds and such. Whenever she tries to use one, it will often attack her and start trying to claw her head, causing her to run around trying to rid herself of the horror. Now, she has grown used to having snakes swallow all of her messages and then carry them to people she needs to contact. Any activity that involves birds, she has found some strange way of replacing them so as to partake in that activity without their use.

Her personality also allows for a lot of nonsense, preferring the comedic person over the overly-serious type of people. After all, the more serious someone is the less likely they are to be manipulated into doing whatever she wants. Comedic people also often go with her antics to try and have a good laugh, allowing her to both enjoy herself and get whatever she needs done. The less serious person, the better. Although, she also does not trust comedic people with anything and will not partner with them outside the kingdom. She views their goofing off as more likely to get them killed, especially with her using high-powered spells that require them to be paying attention to the battlefield constantly. Goofing off will only result in their imminent death, most likely by her own hand. As such, adventuring is the only time that she puts up with the nature of serious people, viewing them as necessary to get what she wants accomplished. Otherwise, she will try her best to keep those of a serious nature far from her circle of friends. In addition, she finds that serious people are more likely to reprimand her for her silly antics involving eggs and the like. As such, she avoids them so that she has a greater chance of eating them without any sort of repercussions.

Zarina, however, has been slightly traumatized by her past, living a sort of half-conscious life most of the time. A lot of her comedic attitude serves as a sort of façade to hide all the pain that she is suffering from the loss of her mother. Having watched the woman being butchered and then force-fed her body so that she could grow even stronger, she never fully recovered from the after-effects of cannibalizing. While she is still fully capable of using her magic and powers, she often finds herself staring blankly at night, simply looking at the stars she used to gaze at with her mother when she was a child. Just the thought of what she was forced to do sends her into a blind rage, thrashing about in agony. She feels entirely responsible for the situation despite being unable to do anything to stop it. This pain and agony has followed her for over fifty years, never healing. The wound has merely been deepening more and more over time.

In short, she is a very sneaky individual that, while she is somewhat friendly, is not the most trustworthy companion to be had. She observes people’s weaknesses and makes sure to use whatever she can to her advantage whenever she has to end up fighting them. Food is her absolutely weakness and probably the best way to get into her good graces. A humorous person is also likely to make friends with her a lot easier than someone who is solely focused on exploring or their work. If a person cannot be manipulated at all then she usually tries her best to minimize her interactions with them as best she can. Overall, however, she is not that bad of a person. She has simply been hurt deeply by the tragedies of her past and is trying to move forward now. That, however, is a long process that may take quite a bit of time, especially if the last fifty or so years have yet to do so.
