General Information
Zozo is a distant cousin of Lord Lolorito. Her parents are higher-ups in the East Aldenard Trading Company and she has lived with a silver spoon in her mouth for most of her life. But despite having every advantage, Zo has had no direction of her own and has spent her early adult years riding the coattails of her family's wealth. Until now. She has been cut off from her family due in part to her refusal to agree to an arranged marriage to some Hyur in Kugane. She now works for the Whispered Wish as an entertainer and some manner of research assistant. She is trying to carve out a new path for herself.
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.

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.
