Zozola Sil Zola

"The rivers of time flow ever onward. They split, and pool, and on rare occasions they converge. Ultimately, we steer our vessel through it, rowing blindly in the dark. But perhaps... I can be your compass."

Descended from Monetarists and a secret royal bloodline of a dynasty long thought dead, Zozola Zola is a force to be reckoned with - but this has little to do with her unique heritage. A Songstress Performer and an accomplished Time Mage, Zozola Zola will make her mark on this star...

AppearanceDespite her diminutive size, Zozola is hard to miss. It's clear that she values and takes great care in her appearance. She has soft dark skin, which darkens slightly at her nose at the tips of her long, pointy ears. Her makeup, though lightly applied, is always perfect. She has a rather chubby frame, but she moves like a dancer. In fact...she seems to almost float about.Her long wavy hair is a pale mint blue-green in color, with pink highlights on the tips. She usually wears her hair in braids and ponytails - the bigger the better. Her striking lilac dunesfolk eyes are often full of mischief.She is often seen draped in pastel colors or jewel tones that compliment her hair color. Her fashion style might be defined by more casual folks as ... extra.Though her vocal range is impressive, this lalafell typically speaks with a lilting, bell-like tone.

So much so that her own tendency to create chaos is often underutilized...but when she has the chance to sow seeds of chaos, Zozola revels in it.More than just about anything, Zozola is a believer in autonomy - in taking charge of her own fate and empowering others to do the same.She enjoys the simple things in life. Good food, good drink, and good company...who could want for more?Zozola can often be found...

Plot Hooks

Talk of the Town
Zozola's name has been mentioned a lot in Ul'dah - among the nobles and monetarists alike, of late. Rumors have been circulating that she was of some interest to a thief who broke into the Sultanate library. People cannot seem to agree on what it is about her that is of such interest, but a young woman of the Thorne Family has expressed an unusual interest in her.
Arrested for Matricide
In a rather high profile case in Ul'dah, Zozola was once arrested and accused of the murder of her mother, Nanasa Nasa. She was since proven to be innocent, but nonetheless, her presence often turns heads in Thanalan.
Prodigal Cousin
Zozola's father, Zuzurito Lalarito, is the first cousin of Lord Lolorito Nanarito. It is tradition for all members of the family to help the Family Business of the East Aldenard Trading Company - and Zozola's rebellious deviation from familial expectations is a thorn in Lolorito's side. Why, it even seems that she is influencing her father - who is making moves to start his own business free from East Aldenard's influence! This is unheard of!
Legatum Mysteria
Translated as the Legacy of Secrets, this Free Company based in Lavender Beds is the creation of Zozola and her comrades. An organization dedicated to pursuing the secrets of this star, this organization has already caught the attention of a number of powerful people...for good or for ill.

Aiding and Abetting
A number of powerful individuals in Ul'dah are befuddled by the magicks of a masked woman involved in the escape of the fugitive Mynne 'Rosie' Rosalia on the day she was set to be executed. Magicks which left combatants frozen in time.

Sil'dihn Royalty
NOTE: This is a well-guarded secret! Please ask first!
Zozola's late mother, Nanasa Nasa, was secretly a descendant of the Sil'dihn Royal Family. No records remain of this fact - nor do any records remain of Nanasa's relation to the late Sultana Nanasha Ul Nasha. Only a few select Sultansworn - as well as a group of descendants of Sil'dihn survivors called the Knights of the Lost - know of these details.
Life Swap
Zozola temporarily swapped places with a version of herself from another timeline. A version of herself that likes to party a little too hard. Did you perhaps see this version of Zozola passed out drunk at a party somewhere? Did she perhaps mistake you for someone from her timeline?

Lover of the Stage
One of Zozola's passions is a love for performing! You likely have seen her grace the stage of your local watering hole, where she sings, dances, and weaves magicks on stage! Or perhaps you saw her singing at high class events in her youth?
A Not-So-Arranged Marriage
Those familiar with the East Aldenard Trading Company might recall the awkward moment a few years ago when Lord Lolorito attempted an arranged marriage between a young woman in his family and the skeevy Hyur Hancock Fitzgerald of the Ruby Bazaar. It did not pan out.
Primal Slayer
"Eater of the Four and a half ponze Primal Slayer Burger - Zozola Zola" - says the plaque on the Calamity's End Bar and Grill Wall of Fame. It sounds like this small lady can EAT. Perhaps you've seen her face on the wall of this venue?
Chronomancy
Over the past few turns, Zozola has become a powerful Time Mage, though she is still studying the weave of time and fate quite seriously. While she actively avoids manipulating fate due to the massive responsibility that comes with it, there are little ways that she manipulates time without thinking, such as floating instead of walking when it's more convenient, or reversing gravity to prevent something from dropping to the floor. Have you noticed this anomaly?
Drawn to the Flower
It is no secret that Zozola has been in a relationship with the beautiful and charming Lily Nibelung for a number of years now. It is a relationship that has been as open as it is loving...but still quite serious, culminating in a beautiful wedding! The brides are very, very happy together.

Bonds

Family

Zuzurito Lalarito
Relation: Father
Zuzurito is a strict patriarchal figure in Zozola's life, ever pushing her to fulfill the expectations required to thrive in Monetarist society. He is a cousin of the Syndicate leader Lord Lolorito, and has ever stood in his cousin's shadow as a merchant within the East Aldenard Trading Company.However, despite butting heads with his daughter over these past few years, her independent nature has certainly begun to rub off on him, begrudgingly. He has broken away from East Aldenard recently to begin his own independent venture, called Threads of Time Textile Company.He and Zozola are on strained, but otherwise cordial terms.

Nanasa Nasa
Relation: Mother (Deceased)
Unbeknownst to many, Nanasa held quite a secret - that she and her younger sister, Nanasha, were the last remaining descendants of the house of Sil - the royal family of the destroyed kingdom of Sil'dih. While Nanasha married into the Sultanate, Nanasa married a wealthy monetarist, Zuzurito.She was gifted with the Echo, but she was also afflicted with progressive memory loss, and in time she forgot the whole of who she was, and fell into the expectations that were thrust upon her as a Monetarist's wife - and then proceeded to push those expectations onto her daughter, even arranging an unwanted marriage that fortunately never came to be.These truths only came to light because of a time magic mishap that led Zozola's friends to meet her in the past.Sadly, Nanasa was murdered just as she and her daughter were growing to understand each other - and for a time, Zozola was the prime suspect.

Closest Confidants

Lily Nibelung
Relation: Wife
Zozola met Lily several turns ago and they instantly hit it off. Zozola admires Lily's warmth, her kind heart, and her tenacity in the face of all things.Lily is a devout follower of Nophica, with a sacred heritage all her own, stemming from an ancient legend.In so many ways, they balance each other out - and they are an exceptional team.

Daerin Roda
Relation: Confidant
It was Daerin that gave Zozola the strength to pursue independence when she was just a lost rich girl trying to get out from under the thumb of her parents, and to this day, the viera is ever a desired confidant for the lalafell. Not just on matters of business either - they are very good friends.Daerin is a sensible, money-driven woman with ever an eye for opportunity...and a rather different moral compass from Zozola. Even so, they respect each others' approaches to dealing with problems, and work well together.

Taronius Thromgwar
Relation: Confidant
In so many ways, the lalafell and the elezen could not be more different, but all the same, there is an understanding between these two. They began their friendship as so many do between gay men and lesbians - commiseration.The threads of fate have pulled them together in so many strange ways, but ultimately, they are confidants for each other - looking out for one another, always.Taronius was Zo's Man of Honor at her wedding to Lily.

Lalamune Zazamune
Relation: Confidant
It's hard sometimes to see Lalamune and Zozola's relationship for what it is - one based on care and mutual respect. Zozola can often seem quite hard on Zaz ; some might even wonder if they are even friends. But it comes from a place of genuine care for the lad - who has a history of getting in over his head.Even so, she respects his academic prowess and his dedication to not only furthering his respective fields but also to his friends and comrades, even at the worst of times.

Mynne Rosalia
Relation: Confidant
Once Upon a Time, these two could not have gotten along less. Zozola, being descended from wealthy monetarists, and Mynne being an Ul'dahn streetcatte with a chip on her shoulder - they basically hated each other, only working together to save Lily.In time, that hate turned to begrudging respect, and then to genuine respect and admiration. Now these two trust each other implicitly, and care immensely for one another, even risking their necks for the other.

OOC Notes

I will roleplay with veteran and novice RPers alike, assuming I'm not AFK or busy with something else! However, I have a few notes to consider:

  • I am not my characters, and they are not self-inserts for me. While I am happy to make friends with people OOC and IC alike, it's very important to me that fellow RPers recognize that I have a hard line between my characters and my IRL life, especially when it comes to relationships.

  • I am open to all kinds of storytelling, including mature or dark themes. However, please clear anything especially dramatic with me OOC beforehand.

  • I stay relatively lore compliant but I do believe in the "Rule of Cool" and bending the lore (not breaking it) to make a more exciting, engaging story. I like to take vague obscure lore bits and expound on them to make something unique.

  • Because my characters and stories tend to lean toward the mature side, please only engage me in RP if you're over the age of 18 IRL.

  • Do not interact if you're only interested in ERP. I'm not against ERP, but it is not a focus for me. I do not enjoy it unless it is the culmination of a story beat, with players that I trust.

  • I really enjoy exploring peoples' character histories and building their stories! If any of my characters' hooks sound like something you could build off of, I'd love to have an OOC conversation about that! Perhaps we could even plan a story arc together. ♥
