"A slave has no voice."
Experience & Occupation: The girl who would later be given the name "Zahra" was sold as a slave girl since she was 12, observing life's horrid throes. Once a bedslave, handmaiden, and entertainer, Zahra knew many practical things. She, however, only learned how to speak. She doesn't know how to read or write, and most of her actions are driven by instinct and a will to survive. Having dabbled in thievery and owning a silver tongue, Zahra is perhaps the epitome of "street smarts." Once in her life, she was even driven to kill her master because of torment. Currently, she is an bartender and waitress, as well as occasional female bard in Istek's decrepit pub and inn, along with other exploited women in servitude of a fat, greasy nobleman.
Ability & Aptitude: Having been a bedslave, Zahra is able to allure both men and women alike, seeing as in those dark seasons, she was able to understand the inner workings of a man and woman's mind. Her experience in this has enabled her to know what men and women want to see and hear. She honed her practical skills in cooking, cleaning, and basic service work as a handmaiden, and as an entertainer, Zahra is blessed with a beautiful voice and proficiency with flutes. As a corollary to her skills in music, she is able to memorize countless oratory epics and songs. A party would lover to have her, as she is an expert masseuse. She is also skilled in bellydancing and other gypsy dances. These skills all hide, however, a cunning unknown to her clients–her allure and gentle hands are able to sneakily steal small items and conceal them within her garments. She also brandishes a whip and a long cloth in battle, but rarely partakes in it.
Hopes & Dreams: Simply, freedom. Treasure is a secondary reward.
Values, Morality & Worldview: Zahra's worldview is drab, yet she accepts the neutrality and random nature of life. She is open to positivity, and even regards miracles are true and possible, but more often than not, she's pessimistic. Her alignment is true to chaotic neutral, and Zahra possesses no grandiose principles. She is, however, very passionate about the topic of freedom and one's personal will, and would gladly advocate the freedom of maltreated slaves, such as herself.
Prejudices: Most wealthy people are horrible and care only for themselves. Their fortune is built on the hard work of others.
Garb: She is dressed in a simple black grey made of silk and other linens with a black scarf-like
hijab that she either wears to conceal her face or wears down to show her short, brown hair. She has Arabic-inspired tattoos on her arms, a red dot on her forehead, a bellybutton ring, and earrings.
Weapons: She only wields a simple whip, but prefers to use her flexible, agile, dance-like way of fighting. She uses her legs and hands, and can snap necks with her thighs.
