## Etymology

"Zhalya" (IPA : /'zal.ja/) is a *Shinajhon Næçmarö* name meaning "friend" or, in a broader sense "beloved". It was famously born by the head of the *Llanajhon* University and wife of the Queen of the *Næçmar* land of *Llanajha, Æmira*.

"Mearyn" (IPA : /mε.'ar.ɪn/) means "of many bloods" in *Verelyon*, from "*mear*", meaning "blood". It was the surname of *Aleþen* *Fostieðin*, the heir of *Lodenþa*, the *Syndevril* god of wisdom.

The English pronunciation that Zhalya uses is /'zæl.jə 'mɛə̯ɹ.ɪn/ (*ZAL-yə MAIR-in*).

## About

Zhalya was not born on Alternia  but on a planet conquered by the Alternian Empire  under the rule of The Condesce . As a fuchsia blood , they are part of the Nautical Aristocracy.

Zhalya has short dark hair with an undercut, has 3 ear piercings, and wears a black ring on the right index finger. They're 1.83m tall (about 6ft) without the horns, which are about 1m long (around 3.3ft), which makes them about 2,83m tall in total (or 9.3ft).

Zhalya used to be one of the Heiresses to the Alternian Throne, but shunned the title very early on.

Zhalya's strife specibus is *bladekind*. They primarily use their bastard sword *Lys* (IPA: /lis/, meaning "Lily" in French), along with their knife *Metsem* (IPA : /'mε.tsεm/, meaning "Night" in Aśna).

Before entering the Medium , Zhalya died under mysterious circumstances, leaving a scar across their left eye. Saenor Tulsim , their session's jade blood  and former matesprit , revived them as a rainbow drinker . Upon entering, Zhalya arrives on their planet , the *Land of Mushrooms and Prisms (LOMAP)*.

### System Trivia

The four handles' initials form the sequence C(C>C)(A>A)(T>T)A which, when getting rid of the letters in the middle, gives CA aka the system's handle's initials.

Two of the system's headmates, Sekmet and Tsaira, use the Extended Extended Zodiac, with four moons instead two, as used in Eternal Respite.

Umbra is the only alter that does not follow the pattern of having a troll self.

## Relationships

* **Saenor Tulsim :** matesprit (*deceased in the Medium* )
* **Nagami Calion :** moirail (*pre and in-session*)
* **Feferi Peixes :** matesprit (*separated when Zhalya entered the Medium* )
* **Her Abstruse Calamity:** ancestor
* **Zephra Mearyn :** dancestor
* **Zephra 's Ancestor (The Yearning):** pre-scratch self
* **Gl'bgolyb :** lusus (*up until Zhalya's first death*)

## Quirk

Zhalya's typing quirk uses capitalisation and punctuation. They replace:

* "H/h" by ")("
* "E" by "-E"
* "S/s" by "5" (*as a nod to their birthdate being 05/05*)
* "Q/q" by "?" (*as a reference to their extended zodiac sign being the Sign of the Inquiring* )
* capital "W" by "VV"
* "5" (the digit) by "five" (*only when it may cause confusion*)

They also use smilies that have a tiara and goggles, like "38)", and rarely use fish and nautical puns.
They sometimes use emoticons that use some sort of "v" shape, like ":>", as a nod the "s" being a "5", since "5" in Roman numerals is "V".
Whenever they use several punctuation signs, it is usually five of them (an ellipsis would be "....." instead of "...").
Zhalya cusses a lot but will occasionally censor "fuck" as "*vuck*".
Zhalya types in a shade of fuchsia called fandango instead of tyrian purple due to the fact it is too dark to be legible on most backgrounds.

## Trivia

* Zhalya entered the Medium at the age of 10 sweeps (22 Earth years).
* It is known for certain that their ancestor , Her Abstruse Calamity, is still alive despite the Condesce ruling the Alternian Empire . It is not known, however, where she is hiding.
* Zhalya is terrified of their dancestor .
* They rarely use fish and nautifcal puns and generally do so to reveal that they are being mischievous.
* Just like Feferi , Zhalya doesn't seem to feel the urge to murder other fuchsia bloods . On the contrary, they seem to instantly feel fond of them.
* Zhalya seems to instantly and unexplicably distrust indigo and purple bloods , despite acknowledging themself on several occasions that "*Narka5 i5 actually pretty c)(ill*".
* They really don't like clowns.
* Their denizen was Cetus , the denizen of Rose Lalonde and Vriska Serket − two Heroes of Light .
* Their lusus , Gl'bgolyb , was transferred from their home planet to Alternia to become Feferi 's lusus after their first death.
* Zhalya is the second Heiress ever to not have been culled after coming of age, not only due to them having shunned the title but also doing so as a rainbow drinker after their first death. The first one was Zephra , whose escape's circumstances are still unknown.
* The mushrooms on Zhalya's planet, are Tricholoma , a genus known as "Knight mushrooms" from the order Agaricales , also known as "gilled mushrooms". As such they are both a reference to their blood colour and one of their suspected classes . Prisms refract Light , Zhalya's aspect. The acronym of the planet's name (LOMAP) is also a nod to Zhalya being a Light player; maps being associated with treasure hunts and thus, indirectly, pirates, which in Homestuck is associated with Vriska Serket , another Light player.
* Zhalya is left-handed.
* They are a strong type one.
