art by Asa

Zianma (now known publicly by her alias, Ripley) is an abjuration wizard who the Fated Four originally met in Targrave. After discovering her involvement in the "kidnapping" of the Princess of Kairken--namely, that she and Lasri were in love and had staged the kidnapping to escape the country to live safely on their own--the party spent weeks of travel escorting the couple out of the country and to their happily-ever-after in Goldwatch, outside the Rutsen Prairie in Othus.

## Description

### Appearance

Zianma has deep green skin with teal blue undertones. She has two small tusks, though they're only really visible when she smiles. She also has a lip ring. Other than that, she does not have much set canon description, though she carries book holsters on her person when she can for the sake of her spellbook.

### Personality

Zianma is fiercely loyal and determined. While she tends to be more skeptical and introspective than her wife, she is not a closed-off or reserved person, instead very up front about the care she feels for her family, her spouse, and the world around her. She is deeply protective, choosing abjuration as her school of wizardry specifically because she wanted to keep Lasri safe. Zianma enjoys writing and has a particular interest in poetry after using verse as a way to exchange coded messages with Lasri. She is honest to the point of sometimes being a little blunt, but that does not compromise her kindness and love for those she embraces as her family--including her blood family, her wife, her cat, and in some ways, the Fated Four.

## Biography

### Background

Zianma grew up in Targrave as a part of the Peacemaker family. The Peacemakers own a inn/tavern and wine business within Targrave, and they are the last remaining competitors in the wine industry of the area against the Lytton family, who have set a goal of monopolizing as many Kairken markets as they can. They are a steadfast family in the face of this, who try to support each other in everything possible, no matter what. However, standing up against the Lyttons is not easy, so Zianma chose to take on an extra job with extra access and status--working as a servant at the palace in Targrave. From there, she carefully worked her way up until she caught the Princess's eye, and she became her personal attendant. She has always had an interest in the arcane arts, though she attended no formal schooling for this, and taught herself the basics of wizardry.

## Relationships

**Lasri Sanimir**

Lasri Sanimir (now known publicly by her alias, Ophelia) is Zianma's wife and closest confidant. After meeting each other mostly by chance, Zianma a single face in a crowd of workers moving in and out of Castle Lova, Lasri and Zianma considered themselves a case of love at first sight. Zianma thought (and still thinks) Lasri was the kindest and most gorgeous woman she had ever met, and Lasri immediately found Zianma to be a captivatingly intelligent rock of stability in her turbulent home. The two flirted and then got together entirely in secret to avoid angering the King, stealing moments alone together in Lasri's chambers and passing coded love notes in poetry. They created a pipe-dream plan to run away together and Zianma dedicated her life to studying abjuration wizardry specifically to help protect her. After they had to speed up their timeline and try to escape the country on a moment's notice, she was fiercely dedicated to keeping her safe at any cost. Zianma and Lasri, now married and living safely under new identities in a small commune in Othus, consider each other to be soulmates. Zianma would do anything for her.

**Nomos Afsolis**

While Zianma trusts all members of the Fated Four, Zianma has a particular attachment to Nomos; she's always enjoyed his company as one of the more level-headed members of the group, and was often the one she went to with her worries. The two were so close that when the Fated Four finally left Zianma and Lasri in Goldwatch, Zianma accepted Nomos's offer to officiate their marriage.
