General Information
A distant cousin of Lord Lolorito and the child of wealthy merchants, Zozola Zola has lived a comfortable life until recently. When her parents cut her off financially, she sought out her own path in life - a freedom she has since embraced in spite of her family's many failed attempts to control her. Zozola works as a Host and Entertainer at the Whispered Wish, a bar and brothel in the Goblet, where she can be seen spending time with friends and clients.
Appearance
Zozola is quite short, even for a lalafell, standing at a solid 2'10". She is also quite chubby. Her Ul'dahn brown skin is soft and supple, and there is a blush to her cheeks. Her long wavy hair is a pale mint green in color, with pink highlights on the tips. Recently she has begun wearing her hair up in a ponytail, tied together with a twisted braid. Her pale lilac dunesfolk eyes are often hidden behind a pair of round spectacles.
She is often seen draped in pastel colors, particularly pastel pinks, blues, and violets. Despite her soft cute appearance and aesthetic, her body language often betrays her true salty nature.
Personality
Personality Traits
- Awkward
- Insecure
- Creative
- Sheltered
- Protective
- Queer
- Salty
- Romantic
- Educated
- Polyamorous
Mannerisms
Zozola generally approaches all social situations with a kind, polite demeanor. This often proves to be a bit of a falsehood in uncomfortable social situations however, wherein she remains polite but her body language betrays her discomfort entirely. She is not very good at making new friends, though once she is close to someone she becomes incredibly comfortable with them.
Zozo loves to eat, drink, and be merry with those she is most comfortable with. Her flirtaciousness toward those she is especially close to is omnipresent as she loves to get a rise out of those she would be intimate with, but when they flirt back she tends to get incredibly flustered.
She is rather insecure, and she tends to take it personally when she is overlooked, rejected, or condescended to. When such a thing happens, the mask of politeness dissolves and her true bitterness is plainly visible to the world.
Philosophy & Ideals
Zozola believes in the freedom of the individual above all else. This idealized freedom is everpresent in her life, bordering on hedonism at times. This concept expands to a romantic ideal as well - believing in the ability to love multiple people at once.
She cares deeply for her friends, especially those who have seen her at her lowest. She can be rather selfish, but if it is for her closest friends, she will do just about anything to protect them.
Personality Tidbits
- While attracted to some men, Zozola is typically uncomfortable and annoyed by them - with few exceptions. She largely prefers the company of women, in both romantic and platonic contexts.
- Due to her insecurities and inherent awkwardness, Zozola struggles a bit in social situations, especially large groups.
- She despises being condescended to, ignored, and infantilized because of her size above most things. Look down on her at your own peril.
- Despite being privileged in her youth, it takes very little to make Zo feel satisfied with her circumstances. She sees good food, good drink, a comfortable place to rest your head, and good company as the pillars of a good life. She is not very assertive, and while she likes gil as much as the next person, she prefers freedom over wealth.

Early Life
Childhood
Zozola was born in Ul'dah to Zuzurito Lalarito and Nanasa Nasa. As the only child of a wealthy family of merchants directly connected to the Syndicate through its leader, her distant cousin Lolorito Nanarito, she grew up with everything she could have wanted. She had the best private education that Ul'dahn gil could buy, and every possible luxury that a wealthy young girl could afford.
She had a small number of friends growing up. Three dunesfolk lasses and a highlander girl whose father had relocated to Ul'dah after making his fortune on the high seas. They shared the same tutor and attended the same events as children, so Zozola had grown quite attached to them.
Adolescence
As Zozola blossomed into a vibrant young lady, her attachment to her female friends took on another form. While her friends were discussing their crushes on the boys they met at these high-class social events, Zozo was impossibly attracted to the girls she grew up with.
When she thought of men, her immediate association was her verbally abusive father, or the scumbags who would catcall her even as a teenager. Women, on the other hand...
Her crushes on her female friends were not at all subtle, and eventually they called her out on it one night over a stolen bottle of whiskey. At first they jokingly threatened to out her to her parents, but eventually they each gave into their own curiosity.
Later, they would say that it was just a phase for them, or that it somehow didn't count because she was a woman. One would constantly blame the alcohol.
Meanwhile, Zozola poured herself into the arts, her very favorite part of her well-to-do education and the only thing that allowed her to process the turmoil in her heart. She studied painting and participated in some theatrical productions, but her biggest love was singing. She had the very best voice teacher in all of Ul'dah, and became rather comfortable with performing on stage as a young woman.
Adulthood
Zozola's friends each married wealthy men in Ul'dahn high society. Meanwhile, Zozola felt directionless. Her creative skills were nurtured by her education, but they would not help her in the real world - or so her father seemed to think. Her parents insisted that she take on some role within the East Aldenard Trading Company, to continue its legacy within the family and earn the respect of their family patriarch, Lord Lolorito Nanarito of the Ul'dahn Syndicate.
But Zozola was not interested in being a merchant. She longed for something more in her life, but she could not put her finger on what. For a number of years, she lived off her family's fortune, content to float aimlessly through life.
Until her parents cut her off financially.
This was supposed to be a simple lesson. Cut her off financially and she will realize her place and do as she is told. However, that did not quite go as planned. Zozola started seeking out other sources of income. She had heard that many merchants within the company would spend their gil at the Whispered Wish, so she set off, determined to find a new way to live.
It was in the pursuit of this alternate way to live that she met Daerin Roda, a host and courtesan of the Whispered Wish. Daerin was the first person to see something in Zozo other than a spoiled brat. She encouraged her to join the Whispered Wish as an employee, and taught her some valuable lessons on how to make gil on her own. And so she began actively pursuing her own fortune and a new lot in life. Her parents didn't like that. If she would not work for the benefit of the company, she would marry someone within the company.
One night, as she was on her way to visit the Wish, she was intercepted by a number of Brass Blades. Her parents shipped her off to Kugane to meet a man that they had picked out for her. His name was Hancock Fitzgerald, a smarmy merchant who worked at the Ruby Bazaar - the Kugane offices of the East Aldenard Trading Company. She shared one meal with the man and her parents before disappearing via aetheryte and returning to Ul'dah to continue the pursuit of her own interests.
Soon enough, she auditioned to become an Entertainer at the Whispered Wish, and took her place among some of the brightest stars in Thanalan.
Recent Times
In the time since joining the Whispered Wish, Zozola has begun to cut a new path for herself, having embraced both coworkers and clients in friendship. She has begun to come into her own as a Host as well as an Entertainer, gradually becoming more and more comfortable with a wider variety of people.
Beyond that, she has been training as a Red Mage under Azzy Crannach, and has gradually learned to defend herself utilizing the Red.
This sadly was not enough to keep her family out of her business however, as someone within the East Aldenard Trading Company began to interfere with Daerin's business. After a particularly bad night following this news, Zozola was determined to speak to her cousin Lolorito and put a stop to this nonsense and protect her friends from retaliation - even if it meant walking away from the Wish for good.
Lolorito was determined to humble Zozola before allowing her to live freely, and thus she entered an agreement of indentured servitude. She spent a number of weeks working as a handmaiden in Lolorito's estate, humiliated and abused by his secretary, before news of his involvement in such an unsavory practice started to get out. In order to cover up his involvement in all this, he had her sent to the Saltery in Gyr Abania, where she would meet her end in a horrible "accident". Before she made it there, however, her friends intercepted her escort, rescuing her and giving her the strength to stand up for herself once more. She threatened Lolorito with some blackmail material she had gathered during her time in his estate, and returned home to The Whispered Wish.
Since then, each day has been different. The recovery from such trauma is not linear, and she has begun to rely a bit too heavily on alcohol on the bad days. Regardless, she is ever-so-grateful for her friends, and is starting to finally look forward to the future.

RP Hooks
-
Prodigal Daughter of Ul'dah
Daughter of wealthy merchants in the East Aldenard Trading Company and distant cousin of Lord Lolorito, she is seen as a disowned disgrace to both company and family. If you are from Ul'dah or work with merchants in Thanalan, you may have heard tell of this strange girl.
-
Whispered Wish
Zozola Zola is a host and entertainer at the Whispered Wish, and is often present at the famous Wishing Hour. As one of the few lalafell employed by the Wish, she is easy enough to recognize!
-
Red Apprentice
Azzy Crannach is her instructor in the Red. You may have witnessed them training in Central Thanalan.
-
Songbird
In her adolescence, Zozola would sing beautiful songs at various festivals and high-class events in Ul'dah. You may recognize her from these early life performances, or perhaps from more recent performances both in and outside of the Wish.
Preferences
RP Preferences:
I am open to all RP backgrounds! Feel free to walkup if you see me out and about in the world with the RP tag on!
However, I have the following requests:
- Please keep IC and OOC interactions separate in /say by keeping OOC comments within double parentheses ((like so!)).
- Romance is fine if it develops naturally, but please respect that Zozola is polyamorous and will be open to multiple relationships at once. And on that note, please respect that IC and OOC are separate!
- Please clear Zozola's involvement with any huge storyline with me OOC before dragging her into it. I am typically open to big storylines, though, so don't be afraid to message me!
- While Zozola does work at a brothel, please don't proposition her for ERP outside of the Whispered Wish. That's sexual harrassment, kids! I'll be reporting you to the FC if you behave inappropriately.
- DDLG & Age Play Fetishists - DO NOT INTERACT.
Thank you! ♥️
