Ziada--Outspoken, emotional, short-tempered, anti-establishment/radical tendencies.

Since Lilymud inadvertantly prompted me to phrase it, I thought I'd post here a little bit about the nature of Ziada and Kasiri's relationship.

While essentially friends, they're a typical on-again-off-again sort of couple. Not exactly love-hate, but the best way to describe it is more that each refuses to need the other ever, hence they quite often have long periods of not being with each other (not to mention spats and bickering,)...until they end up together again for a while, and then repeat.
So they ARE a couple, even if they aren't seen together often.

Short Character Description--Ziada
First appeared on TLK FanArt Archive

Ziada is the only one of Ajali's caravan that has no connection to the Elephant Graveyard Clan. Adventurous and perhaps overly emotional, her family is notoriously on the outs with the clan and under constant suspicion after a history of dissent and rebellion. She takes Kasiri as a mate for a time when he stays with her clan , and after a stunt gone bad when her future status seems certain to be unbearable, Ziada walks and searches out Ajali's small clan after hearing of it from him. Whereas most hyenas would be thrown into utter turmoil by having to leave their clan irretrievably, the young woman welcomes the change in lifestyle and becomes Ajali's unspoken second in command after probationary mistrust. She is easily the best hunter of the group, having fended for her desposed family throughout her "teen" years.
