## Bio

Growing up on Earth was rather sedentary. White picket fences, each house a cookie cutout of the neighbors… A paradise for those who liked mundane and boring. Ziahra wasn’t one of those kids. She liked taking things apart to figure out how they worked, what made them work, and how she could make it better. Always the curious child, she did all the research she could on all sorts of electronics, modes of transportation, just about anything that she could get her little hands on. Even through school she was often reprimanded for taking apart different things without permission. Why need permission if you’re going to make it better? As she grew, her skills became better and better, able to simply listen to a broken device and finding what was wrong with it. Her parents didn’t really understand her, but supported her otherwise. Though, she did often feel like they supported her younger brother far more, who had opted to go into military services. To each their own.

Ziahra was known throughout the neighborhood as the “Fix It” girl. Anything that needed repaired, or even just needed general maintenance on, she was the one they went to. From simple appliances all the way towards the AI watches that were growing in popularity amongst the Empire, she could fix it with a good amount of time, or even exceed expectations. The moment Ziahra was able to move out, she did, wanting to find her own path in life. Her skills, though not widely known outside of her neighborhood, had given her the idea to apply for a job from AIRI, a government agency that specializes in AI technologies.

What was her job application about? That’s right. A mechanic! The ability to check out how these specially made AI was a dream job for Ziahra! When she was accepted after the first interview, an extensive background check, another interview, AND an interview with the Director of AIRI, ALEX, she couldn't have been any happier! She started as merely cleaning everything, like a janitor. She didn’t care. She was just happy that she was close to the newest AI on the market! Working through the ranks, and saving money, she became one of the best mechanics of AIRI, and bought herself her own AI. Though it could be rather annoying for ZZ, she couldn’t have a better friend and hard working AI. Working her dream job has made her especially good with her hands and what she does for work, as well as giving her a sense of fulfillment. Not one problem is ever the same, and she loved the challenges of the tougher jobs.

Thanks to how well she can perform, she was then moved to the mobile platform. She was excited! She’d get to experience other people or creatures, different equipment needing worked on, and brought up new things with her AI, who named themselves HEX. HEX is commonly seen as a male AI unit and often found bickering playfully, or annoying beyond limits, with Ziahra.

Now that she’s a lead mechanic on the mobile platform,  she has started to think… What does life hold in store for her now?
