Basic Info

"I could probably quote somebody far more eloquent than I am, but I'd probably misinterpret their meaning and twist it to match my situation. I'd rather just say what I mean to say, even if it is difficult and convoluted. Like this statement. I'll be quiet now." —Zhola Imani

Alignment

Neutral Good

Personality

Quirks

• Zhola tends towards being very matter of fact. Sometimes, this may come off as being rude, though she never intends it in such a way.
• Zhola will often repeat portions of conversations after the fact to determine if she could have been clearer in hindsight.

Flaws

• Though she attempts to do so with some amount of tact, Zhola is often eager to pry into the most private portions of others' lives, which can be very unnerving.
• Zhola will often verbally berate herself when she makes a mistake she deems embarrassing. This can make speaking to her difficult, as she often makes such mistakes in conversation.
• Zhola is terrible at picking up on social cues, but fancies herself very good at it. This can lead to many misunderstandings.
• Zhola often operates under the assumption that what she is doing is wrong, unappreciated, or otherwise undesirable.

Fears

• Zhola's most superficial fears include heights, needles (very specifically in the context of intentionally piercing her), and death.
• Zhola's deeper fears include nonexistence, failing so utterly as to be forsaken by those around her, and being responsible for the health and happiness of others.
• Zhola's deepest fears include the prospect of living her entire life being only pitied, being a burden to others, and the knowledge that the world will continue without her.

Talents

• Though she prefers not to do so in front of others, Zhola is a very capable singer
• Zhola has ligament laxity or "double jointedness", allowing her to contort in interesting but ultimately unhealthy ways
• Though she is master of no trades, Zhola tends to pick up on new ideas and skills rather quickly

Abilities and Skills

Personal

• Before she moved to Limsa Lominsa on her own, Zhola was a practicing herbalist among her tribe, and was capable of mixing rudimentary alchemical concoctions with little formal training. It is unknown whether she has continued to do so.
• Zhola has a knack for numbers that she puts to use mostly for accounting and archival purposes.

Weapons

None: Zhola is not a skilled fighter, and is eager to run from any possible fight.

Magic

None: Zhola has not undergone any form of magical training as of yet.

Crafting

• As noted above, Zhola was once an alchemist, and likely still retains the skills
• Zhola can sometimes be seen inspecting the forges at Limsa Lominsa's blacksmithies, though she has yet to make use of them herself.

Music Themes

Note: Vocal Songs are attributed themes in which the lyrics seem to relate or partially relate to the character. They don't mean to resemble the character's voice. The instrumental themes are meant to give an idea of the atmosphere around the character. Songs with character names (example: "Tidus's Theme") are NOT meant to indicate that the character is like the theme owner. I just find the instruments and melody fitting, not the character the song was originally addressed to.
