Physical Description
Built a bit on the tall side, Zira is nonetheless surprisingly willowy for a person of her stature, all slender muscle and long legs. The stick-straight hair that frames her face is layered blond and black, reflecting the colors of her coat in her cat form. Piercing golden eyes set above a firm mouth and proud nose give her a surprisingly regal air, when she uses the right expressions.

Zira's cheetah marking stand out against mocha colored skin, the most immediately noticeable being the black and white lines around her eyes and the tear tracks down her face. A few spots dust her cheeks like dark freckles, and more decorate the corners of her eyes and her temples, trailing off into her hairline, then picking up again at the nape of her neck, down her spine, and over her shoulders.

In her cat shape, Zira more or less resembles any average cheetah, albeit a tad larger than most.

Personality
A solitary creature by nature, Zira has learned to deal with social situations as much as she needs to in order to get by, but she's still a bit awkward around people she doesn't know. The attachments she does have though are very strong, and she will do absolutely anything to protect the people she cares about- whether they want her to or not.

Magic/Abilities
Zira has no ability to manipulate magic, her shapeshifting being an aspect of her race rather than a learned skill.

Even when human, she can sprint at the speed of a cheetah and has improved senses of hearing and smell (not so much sight).

Relationships
Lucian, her employer and one of her few friends.

History
Unfortunately, Zira's story is a common one: born into slavery, she was initially expected to fight in the Coliseum as her parents- a cheetah shifter and a norther, she never knew which was her mother and which her father- had done.

She grew up unknowing of any other life, but before she could be given her first real fight (at the age of twelve), she was purchased by a stranger to Essyrn who claimed he would have use for a slight, quick creature well trained in combat. Her master at the time was hardly one to question a handful of gold, and she was sold easily.

To her surprise, Zira's new master gave her her freedom within a day of purchasing her. Well, in a sense- he made it clear that if she ran from him, she would not return to slavery. She would be killed.

Freedom was a heretofore unheard of concept for Zira, and she was willing to do anything, risk everything, to keep it. So she became a willing and enthusiastic member of the Sandlilies.
