**Zora Morawitz** (born **Zorushka Morawitz Petrovna**) is a character in The Story Universe. She is a Witch Doctor that people come to when they want their loved ones resurrected or healed.

Zora is the one person that Sera and her friends go to for help whenever something happens or is currently happening.

## Early Life

Zora was born Zorushka Petrovna in Transylvania, Romania to Russian immigrants Peter and Svetlana. She was given her middle name (Morawitz) in honor of her maternal grandmother, Daria.

At the age of 12, Zora began showing signs of having magic abilities -- such as shattering windows whenever she got angry and resurrecting dead animals. Zora has inherited the witch gene passed down the Morawitz family line. An excited Svetlana gave her daughter an old spellbook that was owned by Daria.

After receiving her grandmother's spellbook, Zora almost immediately dipped her nose into studying everything she needed to know about witchcraft - every spell, every potion and their ingredients. Soon later, Zora was enrolled in Mage Academy where she studied the art of alchemy and the occult as a whole.

While attending Mage Academy, Zora would meet fellow witches Judy Wilson and Shirley Hecate as she would soon form a long-lasting friendship with the two girls whilst going into their adult years. The girls would almost always hang together when they weren't busy with their studies; with Zora being the more academically-outgoing one out of the trio, when she wasn't hanging out with Judy and Shirley, she was nose-deep in books and her studies as she did all she could to learn about the world of the supernatural.

Before graduating, Zora - after all the studying and practicing her witchcraft - managed to pass her Thaumaturgy exams and finished school with her friends, officially becoming a certified trained witch.

After graduation, Zora continued to keep in touch with Judy and Shirley, even occasionally helping them out in certain situations where they could've been in serious danger. Aside from that, Zora continued to practice her magic and master her craft whilst looking into her late grandmother; at some point, she decided that she wanted to follow in her grandma's footsteps and become a traveling mystic, to help others and spread light all over the world - much like what Daria did.

In this quest to continue her grandmother's work, Zora found herself in the British Isles and decided to expand her education by enrolling in the Medical Institute where she would learn various things like tending wounds, diagnosing ailments, and baby delivery - all of which would certainly come in handy sooner or later. While still a student at the institute, Zora was strolling around the streets of Britain where she bump into a towering eccentric woman named Deluna -- from the jump, Zora was initially put off by Deluna and couldn't help but feel a sense of dread regarding her capabilities, but after this strange lady came into Zora's life, she was forced to put up with her and her antics as she was stuck with Deluna as a 'friend'.

After finishing up her medical education, Zora continued on with her world-traveling as she went across the sea and ended up in America where she would set up shop and construct her witch hut to continue her witchcraft practice. One day, while buying herself some FroYo, Zora heard a concerning commotion coming from outside as she exited the shop to find a young man being harassed by a gang of bikers. The man pleaded for the bikers to leave him be, but they were relentless and blood-thirsty. Zora, not liking what she was seeing, confronted the bikers - who turned their intimidation to her - only for her to stand her ground and put a hex on the bikers by transforming them into big ugly frogs. The man, who introduced himself as Dexter, was amazed at Zora's power and the two soon got to chatting over some froyo as a bond began to form between the two.
