### General descriptions

Zaynab can be a bit of a tattletale and a stickler for making sure everyone is following the rules.

Zaynab is portrayed as being the most poised of her teammates. Such as: sharing some of Tobias' elegant and self-confident mannerisms, however with a more arrogant, rude, and aloof demeanor. She is also be able to say some simple Turkish greetings, such as "merhaba" (welcome), "evet" (yes), "tamam" (okay), "hayır" (no), "teşekkür ederim" (thanks), and "görüşürüz" (see you).

She also shares her campus' competitive streak, poor sportsmanship, and willingness to manipulate others to achieve their goals.
