Profile


A sailin' shark. Bones's first mate, was promoted after Foxtrot's betrayal

Species: Great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias)

Pronouns: she / her

Occupation: Sailor - first mate aboard Vain Star

Physical Description

  • Tall, thick, buff shark
    • Around 7' tall.  Significantly taller than her captain, Bones.  Still shorter than Gutt.
    • Wide neck, big head, made out of muscle in general
  • Very long dorsal and caudal fins
  • Five gill slits along her sides
  • Clawed fingers and toes, pectoral fins on elbows
  • Has rows of teeth like an actual shark, is capable of opening her mouth very very wide
  • Dark glossy eyes, can be drawn with or without eyelashes
  • Scar & spot placement is random

Personality

  • Gruff. Blunt. Does not mince words.
  • Stickler for order.  Follows Bones's instructions to a T.
    • Bones has to take extra care to use precise language with Zara, because she's been known to take things too literally
  • Needs to be in motion at all times.  Paces, fidgets, patrols, etc., can't hold still unless she's asleep.

Likes

  • Stormy nights. Likes seeing the ocean whipped up into a fury. It makes her a bit manic.
    • She has no fear of drowning, naturally. Her only ocean-related fear is of being dashed against solid objects, like rocks or ship debris.
  • Fatty foods - the quickest way to her heart
    • The more grease and oil the better. Lean meat is a no. If she's eating a mammal, it had better have blubber.
    • Can't get enough seafood.  Hates fishing (rod & reel is boring, trawling is too much work), loves eating fish.

Dislikes

  • Gutt. He's a nasty bully who makes things miserable because he can. Zara sees him as an overgrown child torturing his pets for fun, and she holds zero respect for him.
    • He would probably taste good, though.
      • Ugh, she's GOT to stop thinking about that. FUCK. 
      • For context: Captain Bones sometimes tries to intimidate Gutt by yelling about his taste for squid. One of those times Zara happened to be hungry, and she found herself drooling over the thought of calamari. Now she has intrusive thoughts about literally taking a bite out of Gutt. Thanks a lot, Captain.

Personal Info

  • Needs to go overboard and swim on regular occasions.  Gets cabin fever from being cooped up otherwise.
    • Being stuck on a ship with no access to water makes her more irritable and destructive, and way less productive.  Bones just lets her take extra-long lunch breaks so she can fuck around in the ocean and then return with renewed energy.
  • Firm believer in morality among pirates. Thinks she and the rest of Bones's crew are a step above common thieves, and takes pride in it.
  • Loses teeth constantly. She barely notices. If you find one, you can keep it.
