While Ziola's pale colouring and delicate features make her appear soft, the way she carries herself is anything but. Her face is usually neutral, only the occasional small tell giving away any emotion. At 5'6" she's fairly average height, but stands tall even in fraught situation, her mannerisms either purposeful or defensive.

[b]Equipment:[/b] First aid kit, various surgical tools

[b]Attunement/enhancements:[/b] Ziola is attuned to Life, able to heal wounds, as well as affect the body in various ways - not all of them beneficial. While she prefers not to cause harm, she's capable of it if it's unavoidable, or if she's pushed too far.

[b]Unique Ability:[/b] Ziola is able to temporarily boost someone's physical functions, either her own or someone else's, such as strength, pain tolerance, or senses. She can only affect one person and one function at a time, and if she maintains the effect for more than five minutes, it becomes taxing on her - using this ability for too long will cause her to pass out. Aboard the ship, she can only use it to a tiny extent, and for a matter of seconds at a time.

[b]Personality:[/b] To those who don't know her, Ziola is difficult to read. Her face is an impassive mask most of the time. This emotional restraint, combined with her tendency towards dark humour, makes her appear cold - and what really adds to this is her wariness. She's slow to trust, and even slower to forgive. Those she's particularly cynical about are those in authority or those who are otherwise widely esteemed, as she knows firsthand there's often more to them that meets the eye.

Gaining her trust, while not easy, will result in a loyal, protective friend - who will unleash her more brutal side to defend them if necessary. If that trust is broken, however, it'll be exceptionally difficult to rebuild.

[b]Bio:[/b] Money and power aren't everything, and Ziola is living proof of this. A medic of wealthy origins, she was married off to a high-ranking politician, Aedar, since her family wished to gain some political influence. Aedar was unable to use magic, and while non-mages typically compensated by seeking other forms of power, he still bitterly envied mages. Behind closed doors, he'd take out his resentment on Ziola. Frequently.

If she spoke out, he told her, nobody would believe her. And if she tried to do anything to him, she'd suffer for it. Everyone, however, has a breaking point. Aedar forbade her from doing her job, claiming it was because she was meant to be devoted to him, but really it was because he envied her abilities. Nonetheless, she'd sneak out and continue to perform medicine on the sly. When he found out, Aedar was furious. He sent his men to track her down, one of them killing a patient to get at her while the others restrained her. They brought her back home, and the moment she was left alone with her husband was when she snapped.

As he'd warned, she suffered for it - especially considering how brutal and drawn out his death was, multiple organs failing. Having taken the life of such an important figure, she was sent right away to the prison reserved for the worst criminals, the Alcatraz.[/hider]
