◊ Name:
Zaria Bathos

◊ Age:
423 [Appearance: early 20s]

◊ Gender:
Female

◊ Height:
5'6" / 168cm

◊ Kingdom:
Gula [Gluttony]

◊ Element:
Wind

◊ Rank:
Lesser Demon

◊ Occupation:
Performer / Entertainer: Zaria is a freelance performer; one who performs anywhere, anytime, anything. Though her forte is dance, she can also do something simple stunts, sing and generally do things to entertain you. Her prices depend on how much she likes you, though the first performance is usually free of charge. She accepts payment in the form of food and if you really have nothing else, she accepts jewelry and money. Service with a smile will require an additional plate of food.

◊ Abilities:
Feather Dance: The wings on her wrist bones are able to produce a shower of white and gold feathers, but at low speed and is pretty much harmless. She is unable to control where the feathers go unless she uses her element and uses this ability in her performances. Occasionally, she also uses it to escape certain situations as a 'smoke' screen. She has a limit to how many feathers she can produce (though she never counted) and once she hits the limit, her wrist aches to the point that she doesn't want to use her hands for the next few days. Also, once she hits the limit, the wings will be featherless and look like really ugly chicken wings.

High Metabolism: Her metabolism allows her to eat and digest almost anything and everything as long as her teeth is strong enough to bite into it. It would come in handy as a survival skill if it weren't for the fact that it requires her to eat a lot more than the average demon in order to function normally as her energy intake and energy output occurs at a much higher and larger rate. If you see her lying at the side of the road, do shove some dirt food into her mouth to revive her! Despite being able to break down most compounds, she is still susceptible to diseases and poisons.

Elemental Ability: She is unable to use her element well. In fact, the only thing she can do with it is make the feathers produced by her wrist-wings dance around in the wind. Low velocity wind, really harmless except to cool herself down and create effects in performances and only in a 2m radius.

◊ Personality:
TL;DR - Practical, Polite, Appreciative, Dislikes trouble and other unnecessary situations, proud of demon looks, carefree, reserved, distracted.

Zaria accepts what she is given. If she is given one portion when it should be two, she does not ask for the other one. Getting into unnecessary trouble or even necessary trouble is something she avoids with a passion. Zaria would very much rather live a peaceful, low key life, even if it means telling you lies that you want to hear. However, for some subjects (such as food) she can become very opinionated though after blurting her thoughts out she quickly drops the subject. She would much rather let most things slide, unless she's with a companion who is picking a fight with others and getting her involved. At that point, you can probably expect a quick hit on the head and a disappearing act from her.

She doesn't like to speak unnecessarily much, especially to strangers. Perhaps it's also because she doesn't think too much, especially when it doesn't really concern her. In those cases, she would much rather go with the flow. For example, with humans. She doesn't have any particular reason to resent humans or to work them, but she does say that she dislikes them because everyone else seems to do so, and it's much easier to explain disliking them than just feeling neutral. Rather, if she thinks anything about humans, it's that they are a wasted opportunity. They're so... plain. Demonic features are the best no?

And that brings us to her pride in demonic features. Having grown up in a family with every sort of trait, she's come to appreciate every single one of them. Especially her own. She takes pride in her appearance, her wings in particular and cares for them deeply.

She is polite, as her livelihood depends on her reputation. She tries her best to be nice to everyone and to give her full attention but when her stomach is hungry nearly all the time, you will usually find her distracted, halfway to dreamland or gnawing on something that really shouldn't be eaten. In some cases even passed out in a tree or by the roadside. Once she opens up to you though, she tends to laugh more easily and express more than just the basic, accepted manners - in fact, manners are more often than not forgotten. It's the environment she was raised in. She'll be much more prone to insulting you and definitely in making jokes. Her favourite jokes are sexual innuendo jokes by the way. Also to get into trouble, but that's only if she perfectly trusts you. She has a bit of a mean streak though, as she also likes to tease the people she's comfortable with.

At this point, you probably realised that yes, she doesn't like doing unnecessary things. She's a practical person who looks for the shortest way to get to something, and mostly focuses on survival. However, that doesn't mean she can't appreciate good food or have fun and such. Good food is an insatiable desire, not only because of her metabolism but because of her upbringing. It also doesn't mean that she is lazy. In fact, she works harder than she should for the things which she feels should be pursued; like her career and food.
◊ History:
Zaria grew up in a large and loving but somewhat spartan family. So large in fact, that she doesn't even know how many cousins/aunts/uncles/great aunts/great grand uncles/etc she has. Their gene pool was messed up to the point they couldn't consider themselves a particular race or demon anymore. Chimeras of Chimeras, they called themselves. You could just go up to her and tell her you're a Bathos when you really aren't and she probably won't doubt you. Though the batch of youngsters she grew up with is now scattered over all the kingdoms, their roots lie in Gula, and each of them grew up in Gula. Most come back to Gula in order to raise their young.

Now, with a large family you can only imagine how it is. All the kids squished into one tiny room to sleep and entertain, no privacy, the sharing of pretty much everything, the fights during dinner time... The fights. Their large family had one rule. And that was, 'The strongest Demon gets the food.' And with all of them being such gluttons, the fight got out of hand more often than not. In the beginning, she would join in the fights with the biting, tearing, slashing... Soon, she didn't even bother taking off her bandages anymore. She continued to fight for food until one night, one of her horns broke. Her prided horn, one of her demonic features... broken. She began to withdraw then, and feeding on the leftovers. Even though most of it was bones and other inedible stuff. That was when she discovered she had a knack for eating those inedible things.

Her family, worried about her lack of tenacity in getting herself fed, threw her out into the wild on her own earlier than usual family tradition. If she didn't want to fight for her share of food, then she'd have to at least learn how to hunt to feed herself. Pretty stupid train of thought, but her family was never exactly the... brightest species of demons. They probably aren't even a species anymore. She did try, but without any prior experience she began eating whatever she could and nearly getting killed on a minutely basis... until she wandered to the central. She was lucky - that day there was plenty of performances going on; dancing, singing, juggling... It fascinated her beyond belief. She sat there the whole day, watching.

An elderly demon saw her fascination and invited her to dance in front of the crowd with her. Not wanting to miss this chance, she raced up and tried to do so. To put it nicely, she was horrible. But the elderly demon lady was nice, she gave some food and offered to teach her the ways of an entertainer. She grew better at the arts but her family was looking for her, worried despite their actions. And so she returned with her brother. They didn't really approve of what she had done but she struck a deal with her family - she would be allowed to return and study the art of performing if she could prove that she understood the family rule.

She requested her eldest brother teach her the ways of a fight and she learned, albeit more than slowly. Her brother, seeing that her body had grown nimble and flexible from the arts, attempted to teach her how to slip in between their defenses; how to use her tail... All in a span of three days. (To this day, her elder brother still thinks she's a horrible horrible fighter - which is true. She didn't learn much in that period of time.)

Dinner time soon came. She stood poised, ready to get the largest share of food to prove her strength.

And she did.

Simply by biting all of her relatives (making sure to disappear into the fray before they noticed it was her) and digesting their meat while they were busy fighting over the prepared food. <3

And so she continued on her merry way, living life the way she wanted to, studying under the elderly demon until she was capable enough to live on her own.

◊ Additional Information:
> Her necklace was a gift from her mother when she left the family's traditional way of raising their young.
> Despite having left the family, she still visits them every week and performs for them. Her family is the one place where she can laugh freely and truly let go of herself.
> As stated in the history... Chimera of chimeras. The horns of a cashmere goat; the wings of a bird of paradise; a tail like that of a snake with a sharp ending that is similar to an angel fish. And rainbow feathers because rainbow.
> The tattoos that she has on the back of her hands and shoulders doesn't really symbolise anything, she just really liked the shape. The feather tattoo on her stomach too. In fact, some of them are actually hennas - temporary tattoos. Usually has more 'tattoos' on days that she has to perform.
> She can often be found sleeping in a bed of leaves / in a tree / haystack / anything soft, and she has a habit of chewing on things while passed out or sleeping.
> She has no idea why her horn didn't grow back. Perhaps it is, just very slowly.
> Accessories: Ankle bracelet (Edible beads), Necklace + Gold Manicured Nails, Wings on her hand [body part]
