## Description

### Apperance

Zarira is a pale half-elf, with some elven features like her long and sharp ears. She has deep blue human eyes and thick fiery red elmanessen hair that even when braided goes half way down her back. She usually walks around in commoners clothes in colors blue and green.

After the siege of the warship, S. S. Ambitions, stationed in the port of Littletide. Zarira looted a blue military coat with golden details off Trevin Rivers corpse. She now wears the coat since it gives her some resistance to fire and cold.

When Zarira activates her ability, mantle of Flame, her eyes glows black like hot coal, and her body is wreathed in swirling flames.

### Personality

As she was born an half elf, in a wood elven family, she was early on shunned by the largest part of her family. She hated it and had to prove herself to the family that she is just as good as them, or perhaps better. Zarira has quite a temper and will tell people if they have wronged her or if they are just wrong; she isn't afraid to tell a king he is stupid to his face. Zarira has a good heart and will help other people if they ask her, even if the most of her family has shunned her, she will still do everything in her power to make them love her.
When Zarira discovered that it was extremely rare for half-elfs to inherit the phoenix powers from the family bloodline, she sought out Tel' Ar ursplindaar in Tirion for knowledge on how to gain powers. Here she was later accidentally given powers by Pazuzu. If she wants something, she will get it.

## Biography

### Background

Before Zarira was born, her mother Conradina Prideflare traveled to Eplia from Aflistan or more specifically the capital, Masma. She traveled to work as a midwife in the Elder Forest and in the forest city of Tirion. Here Conradina met Fenic Elmanessen, while she helped his sister birth Zarira's twin cousins. Fenic fell in love at first sight and disregarded his families wishes and values so he married Conradina and a year later she gave birth to Zarira. Some of Zariras elven family accepted her over time, but when she turned 7, they sent her to the great wizards of Tel' Ar Ursplindaar to become an apprentice, where she could learn to use and understand magic.

Zarira was a child prodigy who learned a lot about the world from books and lived above Tel' Ar Ursplindaar, here she learned all she knew including many different languages, one of these were abyssal. When Zarira turned 17 years old she read an ancient book in abyssal about theories of the creation of the abyss, and of the obyrith demons responsible. When she accidentally read out loud Pazuzu's name thrice, she soon realized that saying its name thrice would summon it.

Pazuzu, one of the eldest demons, pulled straight from the first level of the Abyss was standing tall in all his glory with all four, tar dripping wings folded out like a terrible and horrifying butterfly ready to take flight in the dusty corners of the old library. It was in the middle of the night with no one around. In an effort not get killed, she had to please Pazuzu, so she made a pact where she would do his bidding and in return he would grant her powers to do his work through her.

Nine years later she got a letter by owl, that told her she was destined to come to Alryn, a small town in Warkab. So she went.

### Relationships

**Adresin Elmanessen**

In her 26 years of age, Her grandmother has always stood by her side and has always tried to protect her from her own family who couldn't accept a half breed in the clan. Adresin did what she could to protect Zarira and that was to send her away from the Elmanessen clan home. After many years and a lot of time Zarira began to understand Adresins decision and wanted to return the kindness by becoming the strongest Elmanessen since Elwyn Elmanessen. Zarira has many times spoken out loud about how she sees her grand grandmother. she sees her like a mother figure since she hasn't met her real mother before.
