Backstory

CONTAINS SPOILERS! Don't read this if you haven't finished the quest "Dawntrail" and don't want it spoiled.

Before the Dome

Zana's parents originated from Hhusatahwi, a small town in Shaaloani. Her parents were still in their early twenties and owned a small business. Their business involved making jewellery and travelling together to sell it. Her mom, Kiwani, was a jeweller who hand-crafted jewellery with materials she found. Her dad, Shaapiho, was a merchant who ensured everything would get sold.

Taking a Turn

One day, Zana's parents headed to Yyasulani, a small village just a bit of walking and a train away. They went there occasionally to sell their jewellery and decided it would be time to do that again. However, it was the worst time they could have possibly chosen. After a few days, a dome randomly appeared over the entire area, trapping the two. It was so sudden, there was almost no time to react. This wild event marked the start of a new beginning. After things settled down, Zana's parents were automatically registered as citizens and began to wear regulators, taking multiple years to adjust to their new home.

Early Life

After Zana's parents had properly settled, they had a child they named Reverie. She spent all her time being raised within the city, naturally becoming accustomed to the technology and the strange culture involving regulators. Reverie's parents insisted she wear one since she was young, and had ended up doing so. Once Reverie was a teenager, she began wearing jewelry that her mom would make her, showing it off to her friends at school. As she continued to grow, she never left the city behind even once, but she always knew there was an outside world and wondered what it was like.

Attack Aftermath

Many people lost their lives during Zoraal Ja's attack, but Reverie was one of the many to survive. However, the same couldn't be said about her friends. Due to wearing a regulator, Reverie had entirely forgotten about them. However, her phone didn't. One morning, a few days after the attack had happened and repairs started, she decided to scroll through her camera roll and saw some pictures of herself with people she didn't recognize. She examined them more and noticed how happy she looked with them.Reverie took another moment to think and realized she didn't remember any friends she hung out with. They were all the party types, spending most of their time in clubs, likely not having many credits to spare for souls, so it made sense. But after this, she didn't want to wear a regulator anymore. Especially after hearing the motives behind the attack, it just didn't feel right to her anymore.

Family Disputes

Reverie's parents were upset after hearing she no longer wanted to wear a regulator. They were now like the many other Alexandrians worrying for those not wearing one, not having any souls to save them from potential death. Reverie explained the whole situation to them, but they didn't understand. It caused a lot of tension, eventually ending in Reverie distancing herself from her parents. This led to Reverie changing her first name to Zana, a name of her choosing, then using Reverie as her last name instead. After finding out how souls were farmed and forgetting the people she looked happy with, she was super upset about the whole situation, and it was simply too much to bear.

Continuing On...

Now able to be more free-spirited, Zana decided to start a new life for herself. Due to her love for clubs, music and socializing, she decided to get a part-time job at Neon Stein as a dancer and waitress, with lots of free time to spare not having to worry about spending credits on souls anymore. She picked up many moves during her time at parties, and this now allowed her to put those skills to use. The dome had also opened up, so she could finally explore what existed beyond the barrier, just as she always dreamed. Outside is entirely unlike what she is used to back in Solution Nine, but it opens a path for many new areas to explore and people to meet.Zana still wears jewellery her mother made as a reminder of her of her parents. Maybe someday she could repair the broken bonds with her parents. But for now, she is keeping her distance, living life in a way where every choice is hers and hers alone, going through her journey as a young adult.

Personality

  • Sociable: Zana actively seeks to socialize with people she hasn't met yet. She's always up for making a new friend!

  • Kind & Empathetic: If someone feels down, Zana will put herself in their shoes and try her best to cheer them up!

  • Emotionally Fragile: Zana is sensitive and easily upset. If you really upset her, it may be hard to get back on good terms.

  • Unintelligent: Zana isn't always very smart, which often leads her to make poor choices or generally seem annoying to some people.

Behaviour

  • Dynamic: Zana can easily adapt to many different situations she's put in. She will always try to make the most of what she has!

  • Caring: Zana likes putting others first. She may go to extra lengths to improve someone else's day, even if it comes at her own expense.

  • Scatterbrained: Zana is sometimes impulsive, and can easily get distracted by small things, especially her phone, even during a good conversation.

  • Rebellious: Zana does not often listen to wiser advice, and will usually go against anything she disagrees with, sometimes even without giving it much thought.

[Pet] Jade

  • This cat was named after the stone "Jade" due to her eye colour. Zana adopted her a few months after moving out from her parent's apartment, realizing she still wanted a little company within her new apartment. Jade is gentle, quiet and usually well-behaved, but like most cats, she sometimes gets curious and has her moments!

[Mother] Kiwani

  • Kiwani grew up in Hhusatahwi and had lived there ever since until moving to Everkeep. She had an interest in jewellery ever since she was young, making bracelets and necklaces for her parents when she was young. As she grew older, this hobby became a profession once she met Shaapiho. Since then, she has continued her jewelling career, even in Everkeep.

[Father] Shaapiho

  • Shaapiho grew up in Mehwaahetsoan but moved to Hhusatahwi once he went to live on his own. He began exploring a lot, travelling to get to know the other communities within Shaaloani. This was when he decided to pursue being a merchant, helping Kiwani sell her jewellery once they had gotten together. Since moving to Everkeep, Shaapiho has been in charge of their online shop.

Hooks

Scenarios

  • Making Moves - Zana works in club Neon Stein, showing off her latest dance moves and serving drinks to guests. Perhaps her display catches your attention... or you're at a table alone and need a drink or two?

  • Some Time Off - At certain times of the day when the club is closed, Zana simply likes to enjoy herself. She may visit the park, have a drink at a bar, go shopping, keep herself occupied at True Vue, or just enjoy the atmosphere at Mosiac. You could always go up to her and start up a chat! After all, she's pretty sociable and loves to meet new people!

  • Outside the Dome - Zana occasionally visits outside the dome when she has multiple days off. She is very unfamiliar with the world outside, especially the culture, and it likely goes both ways. Outside of Tural, she may seem pretty unusual, even down to her name not meeting any typical Miqo'te naming conventions. She could even be the strangest person you get to know!

Conversation

  • Not Always the Brightest - It may not be obvious at first, but may come as a surprise once you start talking to her long enough...

  • Passion for Fashion - Despite her apparent lack of intelligence, Zana has an amazing eye for fashion! Maybe you share a unique sense of style or... disagree on what looks good and get into a small argument.

  • A Different Life - Are you curious about life in Everkeep? Whether you're an outsider visiting the dome, or she is the one out exploring, she'll be super excited to tell you all about it!

  • Transparent as Glass - Are you instead curious on a more personal level? Zana is pretty open and is pretty open to talking about herself and her past! (...Including more personal things if you happen to ask, for better or for worse.)

Have another idea? Let me know and we can see where it goes!

I'm not much of a descriptive writer, so I will usually type up anything from a sentence to a medium-sized paragraph. I prefer taking my time with one-on-one or 3-person roleplays. I can't do as well when fast-paced or in a large group, but can try my best.You might also have to remember to poke me for another roleplay because I sometimes get side-tracked and forget to ask.

I prefer if you and your character are 18+ to roleplay with me. Thanks!
