𝐅𝐂 & 𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄 ✶ Tia Jonsson + Back, hands, and forehead covered in scars, Zaneta is known to wear her hair long with a silk veil that’s ornately held back by pearl-encrusted clips. There are two tattoos on her wrists and two on either side of her hips. No one can ever see what the ones on her wrist say, and only the Elders know of her hip tattoos.

𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄𝐒 ✶ Bubble gum (she has a pack pre-apocalypse and chews a piece a month), flirting, talking your ear off, dancing, staying up late into the night, stealing bites of the food she helps make in the kitchen, desserts of any variety, the smell of rain, adrenaline rushes, the feeling of “living on the edge”, Grimes and Led Zeppelin, writing love letters in cursive, chaos in the kitchen, meeting new people, reading (her and Benigna get along given their obsessions with Tolkein), thinking analytically, slaughtering animals, the outdoors, soft bunnies, the shininess of the knives hanging in a row in the kitchen, coincidences, fate, bloody food, watching someone get a paper cut, cacti in cute, painted pots.

𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄𝐒 ✶ Menial tasks, when her mind starts racing just before bed, when her expectations are not met, being seen as less than, grammar mistakes, eyelash glue, being corrected, the lack of junk food in IS, nun attire (known to accessorize with her favorite color- red), people who eat with their mouth open, idle time, the elders (they tend to criticize her), sidelong glares that aren’t from her, being made to wait, the messiness of having to be the kitchen’s butcher, cutting her finger on something sharp, suffering, vivid dreams, feeling left out, being seen as anything less than perfect, treated as though she is stupid, being laughed at

𝐁𝐈𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐄 ✶ Austin, Texas

𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒 & 𝐅𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐘 ✶ Zephyr Typhon [mother], UNKNOWN [father], Madelena Rigera [mother’s girlfriend; only present in Zaneta’s life ages 4-10]

𝐁𝐄𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐏𝐎𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐘𝐏𝐒𝐄 ✶ In the before times, Zaneta was a developing teenager on the verge of her senior year. She lived simply with her mother (her father unknown), busting knee caps on her roller derby team (If you want to know, her nickname was Fridge. Don’t ask). Zaneta was called “Zaney” and loved by almost everyone who got to meet her. Sure, she had ultimate Elle Woods energy, and her grades were abysmal, but she could’ve gone to college with a little bit of effort. At the very least, she would’ve graduated and could’ve gone to cosmetology school. Except, Zaneta had always been smart. She’d just never applied herself and was blonde so everyone assumed the party, it-girl was stupid beyond recognition. No, Zaneta simply enjoyed putting her skills to other uses. Like turning their rival school’s entire football team against each other because she was dating all of them at the same time, resulting in them turning on each other in the middle of the game (she had shown up to kiss one of them during halfway) and allowing her school to go to states for the first time in almost fifty years. She did the same thing with the Debate Team, but no one wants to note that they were gullible to let her do it twice.

The summer Hell bore its nasty teeth, Zaneta was planning a road trip to Florida with her galpals where they were going to do all the things they could only do on the weekends in Austin. Her mom came home that day, greased up from working on the underbelly of a car at work, and turned on the news to discover that the entire world was falling apart. Something shifted in Zephyr that day, and she forced Zaney to throw out anything she had packed in her Jeep for the trip that didn’t have a survival use and revealed to having hidden a duffle bag filled with an entire Army base worth of weapons under her bed for years. They set off towards Nevada that evening and Zaneta woke up the next day to find that her friends, who had set off without her, had been killed by a swarm of killer bees. Or what she could only figure were killer bees. It was how it was described on the radio.

After everything turned to shit, Zaneta and her mom roamed for a year and a half before they finally found the Imperium Sanctus. It wasn’t long before her mother would take her to see the outskirts of the Deza, getting braver and braver each time. Then, one day, her mom got too brave and the crazy look in her eyes that came about the day everything fell apart became even wilder. Everyone else tells Zaneta her mother went mad, took her on an adventure too close to the Mouth of Hell, and she was consumed by one of the many horrors that lie there. After all, Zaney returned with cuts on her hands and back, marring up her forehead and cheek. It certainly didn’t help that she couldn’t remember anything that happened. Still, even though she can’t get answers about her wounds, she blames herself for her mother’s death and thus her inspiration to become a nun- to give back and repent to some degree.

⤠ 𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐓 ⤟

𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 ✶ Imperius Sanctus

𝐆𝐎𝐀𝐋𝐒 ✶ Well first and foremost, Zaneta needs to get the hell out of this nun garb and the kitchen. What about her screams "scullery maid"? Nothing, that's what. Being praised and adored by fellow Mortals for your vessel-dom? Sounds like a sweet deal to naive Zaney. She isn't making much of a difference in the world by peeling potatoes and trying not to think about her mother's death when her mind begins to wander. Perhaps she could be more productive as a Vessel? At the very least, she'd be adored again. No longer forced into the background without even the thrill of consistent battle to keep her occupied.

Yet, there's the pipsqueak voice that whispers doubt of this goal becoming a reality. Most days, Zaneta can silence it. Still even as she tells herself she is occupied by the dream of being a Vessel, she can't help but dream of wild adventures, of fighting for something, of participating in the slaughter, something that makes her live on the edge. Curiosity killed the cat, but Zaney thinks she could survive the attack. It's why she spends an unusual amount of time staring off into the distance, noting the what the sun falls on the dust of the Deza and highlights the pockets of fires and neon signs. The way the last light glints off the Nefilim's horns and their boots' spurs. The smell of whatever they cook at night makes her mouth water, and that's usually when she tears her gaze from the window to return to the stuffy kitchen.
If the Vessel thing doesn't work out, Zaneta has some ideas. Hell (pun intended), she might not even wait long enough to find out.

𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒 ✶ Being permanently unhappy. Finding out that the urges she’s had for years along with her Jeffrey Dahmer-level fascination with roadkill in her early years will end up being exactly what her mother feared. Getting confirmation that her mother’s death if her fault. Rather- remembering her mother’s death and finding out the true reason why Zaneta is covered in scars.

𝐎𝐂𝐂𝐔𝐏𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 ✶ Scullery nun (imagine her gagging because she surely is)

𝐑𝐔𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐒 ✶ People say that Zaneta is too flirtatious to have been celibate for three years, much less a virgin like she claims. They also say that her mother and her originally lived on the Deza and embraced the darker side of things before living at the IS out of desperation.

⤠ 𝐖𝐄𝐀𝐏𝐎𝐍𝐒 & 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐑𝐎𝐁𝐄 ⤟

𝐖𝐄𝐀𝐏𝐎𝐍𝐒 ✶ If she could get away with her hands, Zaneta would. Otherwise, her medieval-looking sword with an emerald set at the hilt is her go-to (she had to trade her scullery shift for janitorial duties for three months to get it). Oh, and her set of four daggers that are always strapped to either side of her thighs, even when she’s just working kitchen duty. It also helps that she still has her mom’s old machine guns, pistols, and double shoulder holster. Needless to say, Zaneta is over-prepared for battle on the regular.

𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐑𝐎𝐁𝐄 ✶ Pearl hair clips, organza and silk veils, black dresses with plenty of lace, black and white skirts that barely pass for sensical clothing, a wide array of tube tops, sweatshirts, and pants, and even her old derby jersey (most of which she never wears beyond her bedroom, given the snide remarks she receives), an array of rosaries she’s added chains from her old sets of jewelry to in order to spice things ups, ridiculously big cross or hoop earrings, cowboy boots and go-go boots (once more, from the time before), Docs with the heels so worn down it’s a miracle they are even wearable, platforms that make her too fashionable for the apocalypse, black mom jeans, black bustier, and white pirate shirt for when the Nefilim comes a-knocking.

⤠ 𝐓𝐘𝐏𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐒 ⤟

𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐄𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄𝐋𝐘 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 ✶
✶ Staring out the second-story window in the West Wing
✶ Bent over a trash can or sink in the kitchen, probably slicing her fingers while peeling potatoes
✶ Checking for monsters under the bed with the child refugees (or, alternatively, riling them up before bed with a game of tag or capture the flag)
✶ Trying to start a catfight somewhere
✶ Perhaps… flirting with anything that moves? Just a little bit?
✶ Skinning an animal of some variety or convincing the butcher to teach her how to cut a new piece of meat correctly

𝐏𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐄 𝐌𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄𝐋𝐘 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐄 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 ✶ Zaneta, even before the apocalypse, was one of those types of people that you enjoyed talking to, but you never really sought out afterward. Because of this, she’s likely to only seek out a handful of people on a regular basis. Benigna and Davide are probably the nuns she would be closest to. However, it’s simply not a full day if she hasn’t talked one of the Elder’s or her fellow kitchen nuns’ ears off about some silly story from her life before the end of times. Oh- and one simply can’t forget the hour or two she spends chatting up a hunky refugee or playing tag with the kids.

𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐓 ✶ Discounted her entire life as a silly, little airhead, Zaneta prides herself on her confidence that often translates into foolish bravery and strong headedness. If someone needs a spider killed, a lamb slaughtered, or a front runner for the next battle, Zaneta is the first to volunteer. Always open to talk to strangers, even ones with horns while she's trying to stab them in the heart. Simply put, it's easier to let Zaney run free than to abridge her adventurous nature because good things happen more often than bad things. Usually.

𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐌𝐒 ✶
✶ Zaneta always needs to have people see her from her left side, given the scar on the right.
✶ Fidgets with her fingernails on the regular, biting at the hangnails. Alternatively, her left leg is always rocking when she’s sitting down or standing still
✶ Baby blue eyes constantly locked in a state of wide-eyed innocence. She can usually get whatever she wants with a bat of her eyelashes.
✶ Needs to knit or sew in order to keep her hands busy
✶ Never sleeps for more than two hours; otherwise, she starts having weird dreams
✶ Has an old iPod with her favorite songs from 5th grade on it that she still listens to
✶ Probably chewing on something, even if it’s a potato peel or a piece of fat
✶ Gets a little too happy with a knife in her hand
✶ Always has a cigarette in her hand
