✕ ⸻ BIO
Zara Jade Cesar was born on April 7th, 57 years ago, into the prestigious Cesar family, the founding family of Greywood. The Cesars were renowned for their pure werewolf bloodline, with each generation producing strong werewolves. Zara, however, was the only human child born to her parents, a fact that caused her family great shame. Despite their love for her, their pride in their heritage led them to send her away to a boarding school when she was 13, hoping to avoid the embarrassment of having a human child.
At boarding school, Zara found a temporary refuge. Away from the expectations and judgments of her family, she thrived academically and socially. It was here that she met her future husband. In their senior year, he revealed to her that he was a werewolf. Zara accepted him and confided in him about her family's legacy and their reaction to her being human. This mutual understanding and acceptance laid the foundation for their future together.
After graduating from college, Zara and her husband got married and started a family. They were blessed with two children, both of whom inherited the werewolf gene. Their family life was idyllic, filled with love and happiness, until a fateful full moon changed everything. During one particularly painful transformation, Zara's eldest son, Xavier, bit her in a fit of uncontrollable rage. This bite transformed Zara into a werewolf, altering her life irrevocably.
At the age of 50, Zara's family was kidnapped by a group of hunters. Instead of killing them outright, the hunters subjected them to years of brutal torture. Zara endured unimaginable pain and suffering as she watched her children and husband be tortured alongside her. On the night of a full moon, when she was 56, the hunters decided to kill her family, starting with her children and ending with her husband. In a fit of uncontrollable rage and despair, Zara tapped into her darkness manipulation abilities and killed the hunters, managing to escape the hell she had been living in.
Traumatized and fearing for her life, Zara went into hiding. She spent months moving from one abandoned building to another, living off the grid, and avoiding any form of human contact. On full moons, she would retreat to the woods, afraid of what she might do if she lost control again. The constant fear of being hunted and tortured again kept her on edge.
Eventually, Zara found herself back in Greywood, the place of her birth and the origin of her family's legacy. The familiarity of the town and the presence of her pack provided a semblance of safety and stability. She took on the role of a librarian at the Greywood Historical Library, a job that allowed her to be surrounded by the knowledge and stories she loved. Her position also helped her reconnect with the community and find a new purpose in life.
As the leader of the Cesar Pack, Zara dedicated herself to protecting her pack and ensuring their safety. Her experiences had made her both a formidable leader and a compassionate figure. She organized events at the library, providing a safe space for others to learn and grow. Her German Shepherds, Sativa and Indica, played a crucial role in her healing process, offering emotional support and protection.
Despite finding a new home and purpose in Greywood, Zara continues to struggle with the trauma of her past. She has trouble sleeping and often goes on long jogs to exhaust herself in hopes of finding some peace. Her home is filled with the calming scents of lavender and other gentle aromas, providing a small respite from her haunted memories. The heart-shaped locket she wears with pictures of her family is a constant reminder of what she has lost and the strength she has gained.
Zara's journey has made her a respected and trusted figure in Greywood. She is a pillar of the community, offering support and guidance to those in need. Her ability to manipulate darkness is both a symbol of her past struggles and her current strength. Through her resilience and determination, Zara Jade Cesar has become a beacon of hope and a testament to the power of healing and perseverance.
