IN DEPTH COVERAGE
PERSONALITY: Quite by nature Zaira tends to sit back and listen. She doesn't talk and hang out around others, but does seek a friend every once in a while. She tends to have a temper and get snappy every now and then but for the most part all she will do is glare at you. Gets even calmer when mad. She loves to listen to musicand sing in the shower.Once you get on her good side she laughs and jokes around a lot, but once you annoy her, snarling becomes common. When in motion she can tread very silently even in a full gallop. She does get startled easily. Shows off a lot without really meaning to. She also tends to be in motion a lot, or can't sit still for long. Notices every little thing. Very fierce and will defend everything she thinks or knows is hers.
STRENGTHS:
- Swimmer- "Webbing between their toes, when spread, enables the Sumatran tiger to be very fast swimmer." link Same goes for when she is in human form.
- Brainy- Having read many books in her past she has a lot of knowledge at her disposal. Also a very quick thinker.
- Quite- Even being quite smart she hardly talks. She never really stays around people for long. Although she may enjoy a life long friend.
- Agile- Very athletic. Spending her years in water, on the track field, or just running around in the woods has shaped her with a lithe and lean body.
- Strength- Well she is a tiger.
- Curious- They say curiosity killed the cat. So obviously this is just part of her nature. But either way she find her answers somehow.
- Loyalty- Befriend her, and I mean actually befriend her, become her hunting/party/just chillin' partner, and you have a friend for life.
WEAKNESSES:
- Nerves- Gets startled easily. And if given time to think before any big event her stomach tends to get a bit queasy.
- Friends- For what ever friends she may have she protects those like they were her own children even if it costs her life.
- Anger- Once angered if you escape her you have an enemy for life, doesn't forgive easily. On very rare occasions she will forgive.
- Temper- Because she spends so much time holding stuff back her temper tends to be somewhat short.
- Battle- She often changes back and forth from human and Tiger. If she isn't careful she could get an easy knife in the back.
FEARS:
- Death
- Anything she knows will over power her
- Loud and sudden noises.
DESIRES: A true friend.
WEAPONS: A pair of smaller sized swords placed in a harness that attaches to her back. ( i56.tinypic.com/2w2ijuv.jpg They both look somewhat like that but instead of what ever those symbols say it says “Riposa in Pace.” Which means Rest in Peace in English. )And depending on where she is going/ how she is dressed, a small dagger attached to her thigh. Her claws and teeth in tiger form. Sometimes places metal "claws" over her real ones to keep them from breaking and always sharp.
ELEMENT: Water
BACKGROUND
HISTORY: Zaira doesn't remember much of her early years. It all comes into focus around her fifth year of life. Born into a family of four, two brothers and her parents. Nothing really happened in the first 10 years of her life other then more vigorous training because of talk of the rebels. With a majority of the family being boys she was often thinking of herself as one herself. Around the age of twelve she almost done with her training. Her brothers, now adults and living elsewhere, where coming over more often. And most of the time bearing news of the rebels.
When she was thirteen the talk of war was around almost every corner, it started almost a month after her fourteenth birthday. They all took pride in being a part of the war, but only her and the youngest brother were the ones to make it out alive. Cut, battered, bruised, and maybe a few broken or strained bones and muscles, but alive all the same.
Those memories will probably always be crystal clear. Like how she was saved over and over again by her family. If she had been paying attention her mother might still be alive. She now gets a headache because she takes in everything at all times. Her father died standing with her fighting off a few fire enemies, they didn't last long after she saw her father fall. She still has no clue to what happened to her eldest and favorite brother. She still hopes he some how made it out alive and is now hiding somewhere waiting for the right time to come out.
