Zara Zeleria

Zara Redamantia Aliferous Zeleria, better known by her nickname, ZZ, was a former high priestess for the Order of The Progenitor, and a former Sun Huntress for the Cult of the Zeleripah on the planet of Senzotoria. She died shortly after destroying the Luster Co. branch, SHOPRA; saving all Dome Cities on the planet. Her Anima was then captured by The Tower of Eden, wherein she became one of the most influential Climbers of all time; after reaching the top of The Tower, she then became the most influential Caretaker of all time, being a key catalyst for the Final Convergence Cycle.

ZZ was a taller-than-average, small-framed, young adult hume woman. She had short red hair that was usually styled in a grown-out bob with bangs. Her face was small-framed with pale green eyes. ZZ's usual attire changed many times throughout her many appearances within , and especially within The Tower of Eden.
Her Senzotoria attire consisted of a traveling beige low-cut knee-length dress that had short sleeves, which she wore over a high-collared maroon long-sleeve top. She wore a brown brown belt with brown adventuring boots. Whilst outside of a Dome City, her outfit additionally had a type of brown and beige poncho-shawl, and she wore a gas mask within Magickal Dead Zones; the gas mask hung around her neck when she wasn't wearing it. After an undocumented Dome Festival, ZZ began wearing a set of Fire Chakra earrings.
During the events of Anima Rising, ZZ's appearance depicted her time as a high priestess within the Order of The Progenitor. Her outfit changed to a clerical garb. She wore an archaic white dress coat that had blue accents, that she had underneath an Order of The Progenitor cape that high priestesses wore. The cape was dark blue with gold accents that had a wide open collar. Two golden ribbons adorned the front of the cape that had small Magicite stones attached. During this appearance ZZ is also seen for the first time with modern looking clothing, in the form of worn-out black high top kicks; this would be the only appearance she would wear these. Rarely seen, she also wore a black fitted long-sleeve top underneath her clerical garb. ZZ didn't wear many accessories during this appearance, other than her Fire Chakra earrings, a Zeleria Clan signet ring, and a religious necklace depicting Navos.
After becoming a Caretaker, ZZ's hair becomes a bit longer, and her overall appearance becomes more mature. She was often seen with dark bags under her eyes, indicating overtiredness and constant stress. Her outfit as a Caretaker consisted of a simple white blouse with a neck frill, a red coat with gold accents, and a black knee-length bell skirt that she wore with black boots. ZZ no longer wore her Fire Chakra earrings, and her only other accessories were fingerless black gloves.
==Personality==
ZZ was kind, compassionate, and fervent. As a high priestess for a religious order, she was a strong leader, garnered great respect, and was powerful with Magick. Conversely, ZZ was also a Sun Huntress for the Cult of the Zeleriaph for much of her adolescence. She learned how to manipulate others and navigate complex social and political situations to gain unfair advantages in whatever outcome she wanted. Despite her less-than-desirable upbringing, ZZ veered away from what was considered underhanded, choosing to be kind and virtuous. She was determined to help others, and was noted to have a just heart.
ZZ was competitive and ambitious. She was also a hard worker, and often sought out the best that she could do, and she was notorious for not giving up. As a child, ZZ would often study and train to her limits. This caused her to be empathetic to failure and to those who were also reaching for high goals. Her understanding of others often closed social gaps rather quickly, and she was quick to fall in love, both platonically and romantically. In some cases, ZZ could be quite controlling, as her desire for those around her to live happily would become great enough for her to consider old habits from her days as a cultist; albeit unknowingly.
During her last years on Senzotoria, ZZ grew accustomed to how society had an ugly side. This would grow her passion for fighting for what was considered right, and could frequently land herself in danger. ZZ when fighting for something she believed in — or for her close friends and family — caused her to be reckless, and in more serious cases, she would disregard her own well-being.
When she was unable to solve situations with her words or power, ZZ would often be quick to admit defeat. Though her hope would never truly vanish, she was noted to often struggle when overwhelmed with situations she couldn't resolve herself. ZZ wasn't afraid to rely on others, or to have others rely on her. She loved to be there for even adversaries. This would sometimes causes social discord in some cases, and she was often subject to trying to make everyone happy.
As a Climber of The Tower of Eden, ZZ's determination, passion, and desire to help others would increase. This caused her disregard for her own well-being to also increase, and later, when she would become a Caretaker, she would frequently appear overworked, overstressed, and jaded. Her time as a Caretaker saw some change in her personality and psyche, as her witnessing of tragedies and deaths as a Head Caretaker would warp her trademark hope into bitterness and nihilism.
Near the end of her time as a Caretaker, ZZ's hope would return as she saw a last chance within a group of Climbers.
==Background==
ZZ was one of three children born to unnamed parents in the city of Zexross on the planet of Senzotoria during its Dome City Era. At the age of five, she was already training to become a Sun Huntress for the Cult of the Zeleriaph that her parents were indoctrinated in, and by the age of twelve, she was an adept Huntress. After doing a job in an unnamed Dome City at the age of sixteen, she met an unnamed love interest. Soon after, one of her siblings would be killed in a cult job, which would lead her to seek enlightenment via the Order of The Progenitor, wherein she then escaped the Cult of the Zeleriaph.
Originally, ZZ was a counterpart to the Caretaker named Z. As The Tower of Elysium was meant to be a sister campaign to The Tower of Eden II, Malkuro needed an opposite and complimenting Caretaker. He then created Zara Zeleria, who went on to be one of the most popular characters of .
