personality 3 Base Traits: Impetuous, Proud, Cruel
Zivah has grown up with parents that love and support her, and yet things were still... difficult. Zivah spent a lot of time both with her mother, Ai, and in Zinris among other Elaria and, as such, she came to resent her hybrid heritage. Though she loves her mother Lucijah, Zivah wishes Ai had prayed for her alone, and she could be born 'normal'.
There's a contradiction of emotions in the young girl, both a great amount of self doubt and loathing, and over exaggerated pride and aggression that makes it difficult to get along with others her age, including her brother. As a child, Zivah placed too much of her self worth on the fact that AT LEAST she wasn't as bad as her brother Imri. At least she isn't a boy, at least she has antennae, at LEAST--

History
Youngling
Zivah is the first daughter of Ai and Lucijah, born from Elzira and raised in a small homestead outside of Zinris. Taken under Ai's wing from an early age, Zivah models herself in her mother's image, putting a great deal of merit into being strong, callous, and proud. Early on she began to exclude and pick on her brother Imri, and as such they didn't grow up with a very close bond.
This also extends to Lucijah, who she loves but also, mentally, places below Ai in her mind due to her earthling blood. She wants nothing more than to grow up to be a strong, respected blade, but her attitude makes it difficult for others her age to get along with her. She has a habit of looking down her nose at people, and her own disdain for hybrids and earthlings makes it impossible to get along with other hybrids that might have been beneficial as friends growing up.

There was never any doubt that when Zivah was old enough she would become a Blade. Why was this even up for debate? Why go through the farce of a coming of age ceremony? The biggest question, in some ways, was probably what weapon she would choose, but even in that there'd never been a choice - swords. That was what her mother thought was best for her - she didn't have the arm length for a proper bow, or a spear, and even if she did Ai detested the weapons.
No. A proper Blade had a blade, end of story. Zivah had trained with them since she was far too young for it, in all honesty - but old enough to heed her mother's warnings and keep from mauling herself by mistake.
It was just official now. She was old enough, if she wanted, to pray for a child of her own - not that she'd do THAT anytime soon, not when she still had so much to learn from her mothers. She could even strike out on her own, if she wanted ... but it was only recently that she'd come to see Imri as her actual brother, and she'd come around to that realization at the thought of HIM leaving so... so yes. She was to be a blade, finally.
But had anything really changed? She was always bound for this life. Until now, she'd never stopped to think about... maybe NOT doing it. She could betray Ai's expectations and become a blacksmith - it would be the ultimate slap in the face, but she'd at least still be a sister! ... But she didn't really... care much for the craft.
Or she could...
No. No, that wasn't anything she could consider. Even if she wanted to risk Ai actually KILLING her... no. She'd never turn her back on her goddess.
