The one who gets shit done
no-nonsense • proud • socially awkwardZera knows what she wants and does what she must to get it. She's serious and put-together, especially in public. Fond of goth aesthetics and a little too enthusiastic about the concept of death, she's usually the one lurking like a shadow in the corner, dressed in monochromatic blacks, whites and greys.
As a sailor, Zera is quick to the punch and acts before asking questions. Once a junior short course champion, she was talent scouted by the AmaShiru sailing branch, and was quick to make the move, even if sailing under AmaShiru means doing beverage ads that she would really much rather not.
She's reserved and sceptical of attention, which means she hasn't quite taken to the celebrity life that offshore racing entails. She smooths over her social discomfort by being matter-of-fact and agreeable. Or at least, she tries. Many people are intimidated by her, and she can't for the life of her figure out why. Even Xye will often fall in line when she gets pissed, which very few people could claim.
Zera's family lives in Oriens, Sonora. She moved to Niro to pursue her sailing career, making waves as a teen before going into the big leagues.
Zera and Xye have a mixed distribution of tasks on the yacht, taking the helm or the mainsheet as the situation requires. She hates being seen in public with Xye when he's being embarrassing. Which is almost any time they're not sailing. His public relations presence is...questionable to her, but who is she to stop him.
Trivia
Zera's name is pronounced like it rhymes with "terra". I associate her with greyscale colours, metal, rust and decay. She collects animal skulls; she just thinks they're pretty. She calls herself a lesbian but she's more demisexual, and is still waiting for someone who seems worth the time.Likes
• Lurking and watching people• Peace and quiet
• Animal skulls
• Weird stage shows and live music
Dislikes
• Being embarrassed in public (i.e. by being near Xye)• Doing ads for the team's sponsor company
Connections
Xye • teammate
Zera both loves and hates Xye. On deck, they're a killer team, both equally driven to win and great at picking up each other's slack. But Xye is a magnet for negative press attention and can't seem to stop making tabloid headlines for all the wrong reasons, or rankling their rivals. Zera is the only person who can get him in line, and puts this "skill" to use often.
Jinai • rival
Unbeknownst to many, Zera actually admires Jinai and was partially inspired by her to become a competitive sailor. She's not especially open about thinking positively of her team's biggest rivals, though.
Anqien • rival
Anqien is mostly on the periphery of Zera's attention, but from their interactions outside of the races, she thinks they're easy enough to get along with, and likes their fashion sense.
