Picture
A reference sheet for Zabava. She is an original character inspired by such games as Hollow Knight and Bug Fables. Zabava is a rare breed as she is a rare pink mutation of a grasshopper, who are usually grassy green. She is also a mercenary and, as such, wears armor. The armor is close to a natural earthy color, though with a pinkish hue that matches the wearer. Zabava is a yo-yo master in a sense that her weapon of choice is a spiky yo-yo, which gets even spikier when used. The yo-yo is made from the same material as her armor. The sheet shows her in three different poses: standing facing the viewer, laying on her
About
She offers her fighting skills to anyone in need as long as the price is right. Due to her current contract, she is traveling all around. 
She knows her way around a few more traditional weapons, but prefers to use a bigger than usual, metal, spiky yo-yo. Most of its spikes are hidden when it doesn't move and show themselves as soon as she throws it at her enemies. Even if disarmed, she can defend herself thanks to her strong legs and small wings. Her wings don't allow flight, but they still help to reach new heights when jumping.
Although very good at hurting things physically, Zabava is very caring and cheerful outside of combat. Whenever there is a chance for a peaceful solution, she will take it, even if the solution is intimidation of her opponent. 
Relationships
Roseline 
What is a traveling merchant without her trusty mercenary? On a professional  level, Zabava is contractually obligated to keep Roseline and all her possessions safe from many a hazard, like robbers, monsters, cold lonely nights and so on. On a personal level, Zabava and Roseline are very good friends. Trust them, just very good friends. Nothing more. 
Weird Ant Colony
Many years ago, before Zabava had hatched, her egg was found by a group of scouting ants. They couldn't find any bugs who knew whose egg it was. Feeling sorry for the poor unborn kid, they took the egg back to their colony and took care of it until it hatched. Then, although having absolutely no idea how to look after a baby grasshopper, they took it upon themselves to raise Zabava. Even now, after leaving the colony, she considers those four ants her mothers.
