#averys ocs

Her mother, despite not being around a lot because of her 'line of work' (being an assassin whoops), enrolled Zia in ballet lessons from the time she could walk. It was something Zia took very seriously, and prided herself on. She had a hard time giving it up when her mother died and her and Dmitri were left on their own. Occasionally, she can be found practising alone in her room.

Zia and Dmitri are, or are very close to, nearly full blooded Russians. From both their parents, there's almost no trace of any other ethnicity in their bloodline. 

Before TYL, she has 2 facial scars. One small horizontal scar right under her right eye, and a scar on her left eyebrow where one of her piercings got snagged on something and pulled out.  

She has a horrible laugh. A loud, high pitched cackle that will make anyone and everyone cover their ears. When something surprises and scares the hell out of her, she'll shriek in the same horrible frequency as she laughs.

Standing at only 5'4", she'll wear heels even though she hates them just to make herself at least a bit taller. Her and Dmitri are exactly one foot in height apart.

Views nearly every other woman as her rival. Her basis for this include how attractive they are in comparison to her, what their skill level in fighting is, and how similar their personalities are to hers. 

She refuses to believe there is another woman out there more attractive than her. She think she is literally the hottest thing on two legs, and every other woman look like farm animals compared to her.

Is partial to dark shades of red lipstick for formal occasions. For day to day make-up she doesn't wear anything but lipchap on her lips, though she wears much too much black eyeliner.

Aside from vodka and other types of alcohol, her favourite drinks are coffee (black), and orange juice. Hates water on it's own, and sugary drinks (mostly those made from powders).
