Z'ara Laurent
Z'ara Laurent "I will not stop searching - and you will not get in my way." About
Z'ara, compared to some of her kind, is certainly on the shorter more lithe side of shapes - at a height of around 4 fulms and 8-9 ilms, and weighing a low 90 ponzes. With deep tanned skin and jet black fur and hair, tempered only with bone-white highlights that she was given as a sign of her rise to adulthood, there is little to give away her exact age beyond a youthful appearance, likely to be around her low to mid twenties. Her build is that to be expected of a huntress - Lithe, toned, athletic build, a lifestyle of moving around and sleeping where she can over city-dwellers more relaxed lifestyle, finding body fat on the Miqo'te would be difficult. Her chest is hardly much to be impressed with, but it only serves to make her better able to get around places. Z'aras clothing, if you can call it that, is scraps. Literally. Sewn crudely together to cover her modesty (and nothing else) purely to stop the complaints she received when she first entered the cities, the items she has fashioned together are basic but do the job of keeping herself modest. Whether she seems to notice or care that she doesn't wear much is open to debate. It can be said that there is a radiant beauty to Z'ara. Her attire may well appeal to people who enjoy the curves of females, but raising the subject to her will very likely result in a deadpan stare or even her just walking off. Or both. Her preference is nimble, agility over armour - noticeably, for what tools she uses, she much prefers the quiet ambush with spear, or the range of a rifle (which she managed to 'obtain' helpfully!) over longer fights. That she would more then eagerly resort to dirty tricks to get her way out of trouble is proof enough of her difficult nature.
A dark-skinned Miqo'te from the desert, Z'ara can be called several things. Fickle, devious, perhaps even untrustworthy. her friendly nature given to those who return the gesture - but as likely to steal things in the middle of the night and slink off into the shadows as she is to stick around a group of travellers. Compared to most Miqo'te, Z'ara would be considered quite bizarre. Instead of wishing to join the rest of Eorzea and enjoy the fruits of advanced civilization, Z'ara seems to rather prefer the undergrowths and bushes of the wilderness, away from most people. Travelling to Ul'dah and beyond is an activity she does with slightly gritted teeth- the sounds and smells of the cities sometimes too potent for her sensitive nose and ears. It could easily be mistaken that she in fact has little in the way of knowledge about etiquette around people, but that she seems to enter Ul'dah and other places more often indicates she may have little choice but to slowly learn. To her tribe, she has but one quest - to find them a suitable home away from the rest of the civilized cities and enable them to live the rustic lifestyle they wish. To her, if it means having to temporarily be giving a hand to the (in her mind) lazy, somewhat feckless people who life in City-boxes, so be it.
