maite

she likes punk rock music, and also metal. but she doesn't listen to music much, especially if the lyrics are particularly deep, as she doesn't like how that makes her feel - too many feelings resurface.

she stares at paintings for hours, however.

she puts an ungodly amount of sugar in her coffee. dante says she drinks sugar with coffee.

she tans very easily and everyone else on the team is jealous, since they all get sunburnt easily.

it needs to be truly very cold for her to be bothered by the temperature.

she barely gets sick - and wonders if klaus did something to make her that way.

she has two birth certificates, the original one, and the one klaus made for her. not knowing when it was, klaus set her birthday on january 1st. zhalia doesn't celebrate it anyways, especially as it's a reminder her identity was constructed practically from the beginning (she's not aware her first birth certificate is actually the original)

her original name is ژاله  (jāle/zhāle), but it got lost in translation and became zhalia. she has no idea.

so, i ended up writing a little something. dante x zhalia, she tells him about bits of her past while they’re in ethiopia.
