Zafirah Qian

Zafirah Qian is one of the main female protagonists of the Nalvolia series. She is a 15 year old Magics/Artistics Cross-Status. She aspires to one day become either an artist or an Animal Rights Activist. She is in her third year at Mysteria Institute.

Appearance
Zafirah is about tall for her age and gender, standing at around 5'7 and has a heart shaped face. Her protruding eyes are hazel coloured though, when casting a spell or using magic, they glow an amethyst purple and seem to swirl in her iris. Zafirah rarely smiles due to the fact that her front teeth are slightly crooked. Her mouth usually sits as a slight frown, though that isn't always what she is thinking. She has a light golden bronze skin tone with a small mole on her right lower cheek and below her left cheekbone. She has 3 moles on each arm, all of them almost perfectly mirroring each other. She also has a birthmark on her left wrist, a small circle that is a slightly lighter shade of skin than the rest of her body. Her hair is dark brown and has a strip of blue through it and it goes to about halfway down her back in length. It is usually worn in a side part and in a low ponytail with a purple ribbon. Zafirah typically wears an assortment of blue, purple, black and white. She also loves to wear denim along with some purple glasses that match her Magics eye colour. She has a magical backpack, similar to Mary Poppins', that can hold almost any item, as long as it fits into the opening. Her jewelry is a black slider bracelet with a purple and blue water droplet shaped gem. Zafirah also has long fingers, which I found important to add for some reason.

Personality
Zafirah, due to being both a Magics and Artistics, is very antisocial and prefers to be alone. She is independent and smart but also believes in standing up for her beliefs. She is usually used to following others and blending into the background instead of stepping up and leading. She can also be very emotional sometimes, along with her powers being emotion-based. Zafirah is smart and picks things up faster than most, but she still misjudges her capabilities. She also bases others off of first impressions, often seeming rude and cold to people who didn't have the best impression. She isn't much of a talker either, though she does when she has to speak her mind about something.

Family
Zafirah is the daughter of Juliet Qian and Ryker Qian. Her younger sister's name is Addison Qian, who is 11 years old. Her parents met when they were assigned to be work partners.

Juliet Qian is a Naturalists. Her Unique Power is being able to defy gravity, either for herself or for certain objects.

Ryker Qian is a Naturalists/Artistics Hybrid. His Unique Power is appearance alteration, meaning he can change the appearance of other objects but not himself or other humans.

Addison Qian, due to being 12, does not know what her class is yet.

Powers and Abilities
As a Magics/Artistics Cross-Status, her Provided Powers are Telekinesis and Animation Creation. Her Unqiue Powers are Hydrokinesis, Photokinesis and Zoolingualism.

Provided Power
Zafirah has advanced levels of both of her provided powers. She has the ability to move, manipulate and slightly alter the appearance of objects by using her eyes or by using her arms or fingers as a guide. She also has the ability to bring her drawings to life and make them both 3D and tangible. She can also create 2D versions of this.

Unique Powers
As a Magics Cross-Status, Zafirah is granted 3 Unique Powers. Her first one is Hydrokinesis, the ability to manipulate water. Her second one is Photokinesis, the ability to manipulate light. And the third is Zoolingualism, the ability to talk to and understand animals. While she has some control of these powers, she doesn't have full control. She also cannot use her photokinesis to a full extent in darkness and cannot use hydrokinesis at all when exposed to a large amount of fire. Her Zoolingualism also doesn't work on most mythical creatures.

Abilities
Zafirah is a strong swimmer and also has an amazing connection with animals of different kinds. She is also fluent in many of the languages of Nalvolia, including Old Nalvolian, Faeri, Elven and Fawnicus. (Fawnicus is the language of the majority of Nalvolia.) Zafirah is very creative and smart, making her the ideal plan-maker.

Weaknesses
Zafirah is weak to both fire and darkness. Not only do they limit her Unique Powers, but she is terrified of both. She is also not the best at standing up for herself and lacks faith in her own abilities. Due to having a slightly unstable mindset, her powers are not nearly as powerful as they could be and it can also cause her powers to randomly set off. She has terrible hand-eye coordination and is bad at close combat, which is why she will use either her powers or a bow and arrow.

Subjects
Zafirah takes many subjects at Mysteria Institute. She takes Divination, Meditation, Power Combination, Self Control, Telekinesis, Animation Creation, Unique Powers Classes, Astronomy, Swimming Creativity and Willpower. Her favourite subject is Swimming and her best subject is Foreign Languages. Her least favourite subject is Divination and her worst subject is Self Control.

Social Standing
Zafirah is the best swimmer in all of Mysteria Institute and one of the best in all of the schools. She is also one of the best at Foreign Languages. Zafirah doesn't have a specific group as she prefers to be by herself, causing her to be a bit like a loner. During the Mysteria Institute vs Thyme School fight, she did not participate because she didn't want to argue with others but she still holds a grudge against the Thyme School students.
