## Personality

Zelda is easygoing and inclusive, though she knows when to cut out toxicity. She evaluates people based on who they are rather than on their background, as is shown when she is introduced to Teddy and holds nothing against her despite the latter coming from the sunlight world. Zelda is loyal and devoted, devoted to those who pass her silent test of personality. She is generous and gifts Teddy with a pair of Scottish pants as a late present for her sealing-in of being Clan Head.

Zelda works as a seamtress and clothing designer, channelling her creativity into her clothing. Zelda has a talent for sewing as she creates this pair of black-and-red plaid pants with Teddy's perfect dimensions. She also reveals that she has a Scottish background, her family being descended from Clan Wallace seventy or eighty years ago, before the nuclear fallout of the Earth beyond Metropolis. Zelda is currently in a relationship with a man in Clan Ember named Mark.

Zelda also sews Teddy a pair of Scottish plaid pants as a gift for her welcoming to the clan.

### Kit Trist
