Personality
- Sharp | Prone to childish outburst | Socially awkward | Pessimist | Weird | Questionable moral and ethics | Think before act | Somewhat prideful
Zhiva is an odd duck, or at least she grew up as one. Common sense doesn’t always work for her; something she deemed as “normal” might not be as normal to others. Moreover, her sense of morality and ethics are often questionable. She has very blurred view of what’s right and what’s wrong and what justice is. Does that mean she’s evil? That’s depends on your view of what’s evil and what’s virtuous. She won’t break any laws. But in this world, there are many things that can’t be covered with laws. And sometimes, even laws failed to deliver what it promised.
Although quite pessimistic and eccentric, Zhiva is responsible person, to some degree at least. She generally tries to control her behavior, weighing consequences which will come with every action. Alas, there are times when she can no longer hold back her emotions and lashed out childish outburst; blindly defending her view and refusing to listen to others’ opinion, even when they’re right; mostly when they’re right. She usually feels ashamed shortly after done yelling, but always refused to retract her statement. Pride isn’t an easy thing to subdue, after all.
Her social skill is actually pretty good; she’s no social butterfly, but definitely far from asocial. She cares for her friends and will go a long way to help them. The only problem is her eccentricities sometimes made people feel…well, repulsed. That‘s a part of reason why she chose to be a beast tamer. No matter how often she whined and complained and doing odd things, her beasts won’t look at her any less.
Miscellaneous
- She's mostly known as "That female beast tamer with gaudy clothes."
- Chewed her lips whenever she's upsets.
- Uses her jacket as pillow when sleeping outdoors.
- While the feathers in her skirt are fake, the ones on her necklace are real. So do the furs on her jacket. It came from the beasts that died in her care, be it by natural causes or killed in battle. She skinned and plugged them not out of cruelty, but out of love and compassion. By wearing them, it served as memento, keeping their remains close to her so the memory they shared together won’t fade away.
- Once talk, can't stop.
