Background: Zara was born in a small, quaint village that has long since fallen off the map. It's inhabitants were no strangers to magic as of them most were witches and warlocks themselves. She had always known she was of the Shade since her mother was a magic user before she passed away. Luckily, her mother had opened her eyes to her affinity of air, and taught her how to harness her power so that she would be able to survive almost any situation. Before her village was burned down by Hunters, she had taken a liking to botany, and was apprentice to an old witch with a potions shop. She never got far into that career, but was taught how to make basic potions and spot various herbs and their uses. 

Since her village had burned down, she became somewhat of a drifter. She didn't really socialize much, and made no friends she could call by their first name. She is skeptical of non-magic users, and tries to avoid them at all cost, though that hasn't worked out so well. 

Magical Element: Air

Magical Ability: 
Level 2
Gale: A small to medium scale, burst of concentrated wind that can send anybody under 300 pounds toppling over. It usually only affects whoever her target is unless more people are in the same path. Zara will sometimes use this attack to launch herself into the air, or to glide places as she can control the strength of her wind. 

Level 1
White thorn: Sharp, piercing air shoots out from her palms and drills into the skin of whoever her target is. It doesn't cause real physical damage, but it feels like you're being stabbed by daggers. 

Level 3
Wind Chime: A skill used by channeling the air to create ear splitting sirens that have the ability to incapacitate anyone in her vicinity. The wind blows fast, and hard so it may knock you over if you don't ground yourself. While channeling this spell, she is able to use White Thorn and Gale. This attack is extremely draining, and has to be channeled. If her concentration is broken, the spell will stop.

Additional Info: During her travels, Zara picked up a flying squirrel and keeps it with her at all times. His name is Luke.
