The F.A.A.S.

**Zara Williams** (née Hamilton) is Bradley's wife and Brianna, Zac, and Benjamin's mother in the Blue Fighters trilogy. She was an ex-member of the F.A.A.S., and, unfortunately, died at the hands of Narim during the Second Archenoe War. Not much is known about her, but what is revealed to us is that she was a loving wife and mother to her children, willing to do anything to protect that.

## Biography

### Early Life

Not much is known about Zara's early life, other than that she was born around 1800 to unknown parents. It is also unknown whether or not she had siblings, but she is presumed to be an only child, as Zac and his siblings don't have any cousins. However, she was incredibly close with the Evans family by the beginning of Blue Fighters III, so much so that they become sort-of siblings to her.

### F.A.A.S. Membership

Zara Hamilton was one of the first members of the F.A.A.S., along with her eventual partner **Bradley Williams**. Not much is known about her time in the F.A.A.S., other that that she was close with **John Reames**, **Makayla Evans**, and **Alice** and **Alan Dean**. It is unknown if she was close with any of the other members, and when most of the F.A.A.S. fled, she was assumed to be one of them, though this could be because she was pregnant with Zac.

### Zara and Bradley

During the First Archenoe War, Zara and Bradley met through the F.A.A.S. and fell in love. Their date of marriage is unknown, though they were assumed to have married quickly, as they married a good few years before John and Makayla, shown through their first daughter, Brianna. Zac was born soon after the Archenoes' demise, and Narim swore vengeance. Zara and Bradley were a good couple, and their love was said to be quick and passionate, shown through their marriage.

### Zac and Zara

Zac's relationship with his mother is more strained than with his father, simply because of Zara's parenting style. She's a very strict and overprotective mother at times, letting her love for her children take a backseat as she commanded them to be safe. They were known to butt heads often, and it was assumed Zac still harbored some resentment towards her, as she was the primary one to command him to leave the house. However, he does miss her, and mourns her death greatly.

### The Second Archenoe War

During the Second Archenoe War, Zara and Bradley are unable to divulge much information to their children, as they are Normals, but they do caution them on the proper security measures for attacking the situation. As Zac is working for the F.A.A.S. and busy with the war effort, they don't see him as much as their other two children, which they soon come to regret later on. Zac mourns Zara's death greatly, as she was a strict mother but a fair one, and it affects him later on in life.

## Relationships

### Bradley Williams

**Bradley Williams** was Zara's husband. They were both members of the F.A.A.S., through which they met, and fell in love. Not much is known about the beginning of their relationship, though it seems it was fast and passionate, as they married and had Brianna soon after. The final battle occurs when Zara is pregnant with Zac, and Narim swears vengeance because of their allegiance to the F.A.A.S. They had a very good relationship, agreeing with each other on most things, including what had to be done for their children.

### Brianna and Benjamin Williams

Though Zara was there for her other two children, their relationship was not the best. Zara was a very strict and overprotective mother when it came to her children, and this caused her to be somewhat distant from them, though Brianna and Zara were known to have a good relationship as she got older. Zara was a mentor to her daughter when it came to her marriage and relationship with Matthew, and encouraged her sons to do what they wanted with their lives. Though she was not perfect, she was an example to her children, seen in her sacrifice.
