Appearance
"'Everything about her was harsh, from her cheekbones and the cut of her lips to the point of her nose and the starkness of the dark hair crowned in a hurried plait around her head. Even her gaze was hard to hold, pale blue shards, cold and unfeeling, fringed with lashes that feathered her pale cheeks.'"

Personality
Zafira thrives on the thrill of the unknown, but there's one major thing holding her back: her fear of what other's might think of her. She's burdened and angry, but she's also loving and an open person to all - if they can clip through her icy exterior first.
