> "Despair. Opaque. Not being able to be understood by others, and soon leading to your own betrayal. I understand that feeling all too well. As your new best friend, my job is to comfort you as those ‘friends’ did not. That is why, Nemesis, I am granting you the power to get back at these imbecilic beings. With your sword, you are able to level any ground the blade even taps, and the scales to determine the imminent fate of your victims. Go, and express yourself the way you want, and achieve the free world you so desire.” - **Wisterio to his unsuspecting victim**

Zora King Verlice is one of many miraculous holders in The Legend of the Miraculous Wiki. He is a former student that has experienced his fair share of hardships of the years of his upbringing, causing him to develop a strong desire to rid the world of oppressive and malcontents who only thought of themselves instead of the well-being of others. Zora dreams of a world where malice and a authoritarian are a thing of the past, a world where only pure contentment and positive would reign leaving none to be the wiser. Despite his true, seemingly pure intentions, Zora is not above resorting to villainous agendas to breed the best results. Having forged enemies out of the newly created hero team of Paris.

With the Butterfly Miraculous within his possession, while Nooroo is inhabiting it, Zora transforms into a villainous persona known as Wisterio. This gifts him with the power of **Transmission**, allowing him the ability to Akumatize unsuspecting Parisians by drawing on their powerful negative emotions in his quest for power. While he has yet to make a full-fledged appearance to the superhero team of Paris, his influence alone is enough to keep them at bay and bring the citizens of Paris to their knees.

## Appearance

### Physical Appearance

Zora has beautiful, hickory-coloured skin, and barely visible freckles around his cheeks, shoulders, and chest. He has a bloodshot sclera built from stress and insomnia, and piercing sapphire eyes.

He has ash-coloured locks usually tamed in dreads with different kinds of beads and coils on them. He usually wears a lot of long earrings, usually of crosses and different symbols.

### Civilian Attire

Despite Zora's repellent appearance, he has a good knack for fashion. Usually dressed in the latest trends and well-thought outfits, he is almost the king of colour schemes and proper aesthetics. He mostly wears loose and baggy clothing, sunglasses, and lots of expensive sneakers.

### As Wisterio

Wisterio retains the same skin and hair colours, though his hair is more long and flowy than his civilian form. He dons a purple-and-gold lace outfit, the back resembling butterfly wings with two midnight-coloured laces twirling elegantly as he walks. His brooch is hidden under a black scarf covering his entire neck, though a butterfly emblem in the middle. His cane usually rests on his back on a strap, making it easier to switch between his general cane or the sword stick inside.

> " I must have misjudged you, my fair Nemesis. Your– Your— UTTER STUPIDITY— m-must wait another day, my friend. I do not have time for yOUR FOOLISHNESS, and so, I am sorry to say, I strip you of your abilities of revenge.” - **Wisterio to his Akumatized victim**

## Personality

One could call him content, another angry. One caring, the next a humiliation. This was what shaped Zora's deranged nature, and that was his lack of self-knowledge. His mood switches like the wind, and overall, he was in the worst state possible. He is an unwanted façade to some, and to others, their knight in shining armour. People-pleasing used to be Zora's main objective in making friends and leaving behind his old ways, but these acts had simply led to a lack of self-discovery and a constant identity crisis with himself, an emotional mess and one crying for help with nobody answering his calls. Ultimately, he excels in empathy, being able to connect with others' emotions and states and knowing exactly what to do to help them. He is constantly infatuated with the emotions and interests of others, feeling what they feel, and acting exactly how they act, a troublesome way to live. On his own, he talks in a monotone voice, one that sounds calm and content yet troubled and ominous at the same time. A surprise unfolding, nobody ever knows what side of this dice is going to roll, and what toll it might take on them.

Zora's wellbeing had diminished long ago, and his actions scream deranged and selfish, especially his mindset to get whatever he wanted, however it was possible, no matter what. If it meant hurting others or destroying countries, he would do it regardless. Alongside his small acts to mimic others, he uses these emotions in order to find his true goal of peace and happiness. The "blessings" — people who he refers to as friends but have never really talked to before — he admires in public had always been seen with a smile and fortunate lives. Lives that Zora would only have to dream to wield. Feeling their emotions and acting off of them helps him live his dream of pursuing these happy lives. These innocent lives. The ones that would make him the best he would ever be. He neglects the gut feeling that it would never be possible, and his stubborn nature amplifies thes insurmountable ambitions, only getting himself and possibly others hurt in the process. Lastly, Zora is seen to have a very short temper. When he is angry, he usually lashes out and acts through violence in order to get his part heard, but this only results in the pain of others, and sometimes, himself. He constantly tries to keep this side of him inconspicuous, but with his goal in mind that he knows that he will never be able to reach, especially with all of the signs in the world around him, he fears he has no choice but to rot in a hole, flooded to the brim with ire and vexation.

Wisterio keeps the same scars that his civilian counterpart has, but born from the magic of empathy, he is constantly in a state of panic. His nature to constantly please others comes into play as his alias, despite his oath to himself to end the facade. Constantly feeling the intricate emotions of his victims — on top of the psychopathic thoughts of himself — he usually has headaches and dizziness, lashing out and spiralling in different mood swings. Like a playtoy to others, he acts out on others’ accords or emotions, usually not even knowing how he even feels about a certain situation. He mainly tries to keep a monotonic voice, like his civilian form, and tries to speak calmly, though a bit cocky at times. He does not take anyone with a grain of salt, and will say anything that crosses his mind about them, whether they want to hear it or not. He is shown to also be a traitor, never leaving to be on one’s side, and can betray them by a snap of the fingers, and maybe using them as the next ticket for an Akumatization. If he does not have anything to say, he is eerily quiet, usually observing and trying to tame his mind with the millions of feelings in his brain. A trouble, he is, a darkened butterfly just sprouting out of his cocoon.

## Backstory

From a very young age, Zora had been exposed to the cruelty of this world. His mother had been a superficial player, his dad struggling to even afford three meals for them. Zora had been an only child, and even him alone was a struggle to support. Above all, his mother had been very abusive, constantly mistreating and beating him until he bled. His father had never stepped up to stop this because of the fear that she would leave, and she was the major contender in making sure they still had a place to live. Constantly, it would be the same terror. His dad worked his butt off everyday, while his mother either blatantly was cheating in front of Zora or abusing him for no sane reason. This abuse went on from the ripe age of 3 to when he was 13.

On his birthday, his mother had sobered down and left him alone with a half-eaten cake and a butterfly in a cage. Zora had awaited for the presence of his father, and when he turned on the TV, he almost fainted.

His father had been brutally murdered by his own wife. Why? Why must that happen to him? What did he do to deserve this? He had enough. After that news story, he simply escaped the apartment, nowhere to be seen.

Zora managed to leave to his uncle and aunt, who had lived a very wealthy life. Planning to disconnect with the Verlice family for good and stay out of the drama, they promised to keep Zora’s whereabouts a secret, raising him the way they should. Full of love and barely any conflict. From then, he knew he had two comfort people he could now call his surrogate mother and father.

At school, though, he had a whole different problem. Zora was a people-pleaser. He constantly wanted more friends, and he felt that to do that, he had to change himself to what others liked. This, of course, did not work in the way he planned, and ended up being manipulated, bullied, and used for other people’s goals, all while Zora thought he had friends that he could trust. The one time he realized was when he was forced in the Seine, almost drowning and losing his life that day.

Since then, he had shut himself out of the world, and at school, kept to himself, barely talking to anyone else. After high school, he had found himself a different place to live. Quiet, calm, and most importantly, alone. He had shut out everyone from his life, whether he had kept them in his heart or not. He dreamt of a world where malice and authority who could control you so negatively like such would fade away, only contentment surrounding the world, encasing it in a universe of positivity. And soon, he found the exact jewel to make his dream come true.

On the recent anniversary of Zora’s father’s death, his uncle had given him a locket brooch to remember him by, a picture of his father inside. Zora had treasured this ever since, and had found this jewel his only life source when he had realized its full capabilities.
