Zatakva

NOTICE
The Kenopsia wiki has been relocated to The Forever Ocean. Information on this page may be outdated. 
Zatakva (zah-TALK-vuh) is the water Vani assigned to Earth. Her weak spot is around her pelvis area. Due to an incident with Insinera, Zatakva skinned her. Insinera broke Zatakva’s leg in return, making them useless. Zatakva covers her legs with Insinera’s skin.
==Background==
==Roles==
=== Insinera and Zatakva ===
Zatakva lays on the ground, one of her tails having accidentally been cut off by Insinera. Feeling betrayed and heartbroken, she retaliates, skinning Insinera.
=== Zatakva and her Tether ===
Zatakva is shown idle inside a cave, complaining about how lonely she is. However, her mood instantly picks up when she sees Ágata arrive. Zatakva offers her a cigarette and some alcohol upon seeing her upset, but laughs it off immediately afterwards. The two discuss the job she assigned Ágata. When she says she hates her job, Zatakva "consoles" her, calling Ágata a star. Her tone suddenly in this suddenly becomes bitter and vicious when she thinks about Insinera during this talk.
==Personality==
Zatakva is described as unpleasant to be around. Snooty and dramatic, she'll often burst into boisterous, mocking laughter when talking to others, emphasizing and drawing out words. It has been stated that she would burst into a song just to introduce herself. Although she tends to compliment and promise to make someone a better being, these words are ultimately shallow, and she won't hesitate to discard someone the moment they become useless to her. She deals with her insecurities by projecting them onto others. She is also shown indulging in pleasantries such as smoking, believing it helps ward off stress. 
The incident with Insinera seems to have had an impact on how Zatakva acts. Much of her words are spoken with a tone of distrust, and she refuses to elaborate on such matters.
Zatakva is also shown to be quite sadistic compared to the rest of her kin. To her, murder is an art, and she has her tether kill in flashy ways to entertain herself.
She has a tendency to address others as "darling". 
==Relationships==
* Insinera: Zatakva's ex and sworn enemy. She and Insinera used to be lovers until a friendly spar, where Insinera, caught up in the adrenaline of the fight, accidentally chopped off one of her tails. This led to Insinera breaking Zatakva's legs after she skinned Insinera in retaliation. The two have held an intense hatred for each other since then.
* Ágatha Tufão: Ágatha is Zatakva's tether. Zatakva treats Ágatha like her subordinate; due to being immobilized, she resides in a damp cave rather than accompany her. She often teases and speaks to her in a patronizing tone. In return, Ágatha doesn't seem too fond of Zatakva and comes across as cold and blunt when speaking to her, even telling her that she hates what she makes her do.
* Zahalkro: She looks down upon Zahalkro, saying he's not a real Vani and calling him a pansy.
==Development==
==Trivia==
*Zatakva is largely based on sea serpents and octopuses.
*Her eye markings resemble a broken heart.
*She calls alcohol "brainfog juice".
*Zatakva's brand represents her cowardice; she doesn't have the guts to learn how to cope with her situation in healthier ways.
