Zina
The divided soul
Pale markings make Zina’s changes visible before she says a word. Observant and unsure where she belongs, she studies other people for signs of welcome or rejection.
She wants safety without surrendering her conscience. Neither fear of the ordinary world nor the promise of superiority makes that choice easy.
- Ability
- Heightened reflexes, senses and agility; retractable claws are part of her emerging physical changes.
- Limits
- Too much sensory input can overwhelm her. Greater strength does not remove her need for belonging.
“I don’t know which frightens me more: the people who hate us, or the people who want us to rule them.”
