Brief History:
Zahara grew up under the loving care of her mother, step-father, and two little brothers. Of course, her life got ruined when the monsters started coming and attacking her and her family. She grew up towards the age of 12 without one parent, until the Fates decided to deliver her mom a tall, dark and nice man who had two young boys. Zahara always enjoyed playing with her little step-brothers and making machines that would make their eyes gleam with joy, but she started getting very distant when she would be walking from school and all of a sudden strange creatures would attack her. Some that looked like giant men with only one eye and others were like half fat flighty crows and half woman, surely, these monsters were just stories from her dad’s bed time stores. No one else saw them. She would end up running home, and lock herself in the basement so she wouldn’t hear the bird ladies scratching on the windows of her room. Finally, Zahara decided to tell her family about these strange creatures she was seeing. With a chest fallen face her mother finally told her who her real father was and told her what she was. Soon after her mother drove her and her little brothers down to Camp Half- Blood and told her that she could come home once she was able to protect herself. The boys wanted to stay with her but she knew it wasn’t safe for them so she told them she would visit them in the summer as long as they kept up their grades, they agreed to almost immediately.
Appearances
Zahara stands height of 5'9" with high cheekbones and smooth feminine facial structure. Training hard at camp and working in the forges somewhat regularly has gotten her an athletic, fit build. She's never felt the need to diet or start doing extreme exercise to lose weight and such, she was perfectly happy with not having a way-too-slim figure, tiny little waist, or impossibly long legs. She never really thought of herself as fat or anything either she just sees herself as healthily thick.
She has blazing, clear brown eyes that when angry or serious look like the forges of Hephaestus them-self but when she is happy and calm curious. Her dark brown hair is curly and comes to an end a few inches before her elbows.
Her skin is mid-way dark tanned - even in the winter - from spending so much time out in the sun in the summer. Zahara has obtained multiple bruises and scars from working in the forges, play fighting and from being right out there in the battlefield that she usually keeps hidden with slightly long shorts. She doesn't have very serious ones. Zahara tends to wear anything that makes her feel comfortable but not like she just got out of bed pajama comfortable. She only has a few fancy clothes that she will wear when she's visiting going somewhere special.
Personality
A sassy, tom-boyish teenager who values strength and smarts immensely. She can be compassionate here and there but only towards her really close friends and family. While not exactly Hermes reckless, Zahara is fearless, brave, and sometimes just a little goofy. Zahara is quite reckless when it comes to protecting those close to her but she is too proud to admit it. When she gets irritated or angry she gets a bit childish. Zahara finds it difficult to admit when she is wrong with anything being hard-headed and stubborn. She is lazy for the most part although she is fully capable of being a hard-worker when she feels like it.
Zahara finds it hard to follow orders and she is quite a rebellious person. She is prone to getting cocky and over confident. She will stretch herself too thin and fail to consider the fact that she has boundaries and limits like any other person when she wants to please those close to her. She is also very proud and finds it hard to back down, even when she's in the face of danger and there's little to no hope. She's too stubborn to run away, most of the time. Friends will have to drag her away from fights, though she won't do it happily.
She may also come across as a little rude and a bit too blunt but it is only that way because she doesn’t like to sugar coat stuff. However, she is very loyal to friends and family and she support any one of the people close to her to the very end, sticking by their side for better or for worse.
