Zora Casali

[Be whoever. I neither can nor want to force a role on you.] ABOUT ZORA: 24 years old, 5'10". A commoner from the Empire of Blaicabea (made-up word, if it's a swear word in your language, forgive me) who works for the imperial army as a combat instructor. Zora hails from a small village in the mountains that is home to a particular style of martial arts. No outsider knew that this fighting style even existed - until imperial soldiers passed through. Their leader, General Saleem Yhasar, was impressed with the villager's combat style and wanted it to be taught in the imperial army as well. Zora volunteered to accompany him back to the military academy. Back then, she was 18, and now she's been teaching her art to new recruits for the past 6 years. She had a rough start, but by now she's well-accepted among her colleagues and also quite popular with new recruits. General Yhasar and her are still close; she sees him as a mentor and fatherly friend. Zora has a soft spot for kids and can often be seen teaching local street kids on her days off. She doesn't want to have kids of her own, though. She's likely a- or demisexual, but not aromantic. Zora doesn't have much experience with romance, but as a partner, she'd without a doubt be the definition of chivalrous (regardless of your gender). Her biggest weakness? The tendency to overdo it. She's way too hard on herself, never taking breaks, feeling as if she can't afford to let herself rest. Maybe it's because she's the only female combat instructor in the army. Her work ethic is well-respected, but sometimes harmful for herself. ABOUT YOU: Anyone. A fellow military instructor, a recruit, one of the kids she's teaching, a simple citizen crossing her path by chance, heck, be General Yhasar if you want. It's your story. STORY: Zora is sick with the flu, but being her stubborn and dutieful self she still dragged herself to the training grounds. You see her there. Have fun! And please don't train hard when you're sick!
