O. B.: march third ★ H E I G H T: five feet and three inches ★ W E I G H T: one hundred twelve pounds ★ A P P E A R A N C E: born with the complexion one might expect of someone of middle eastern heritage, eyes of a strange tone somewhere between hazel and orange, and strange white hair, zarah is a somewhat odd thing to behold. she's more on the short side, and in terms of her body type, she may be rather slender, but beneath this small exterior is hidden a very compact musculature; she's rather toned, but her muscles have never really grown outward. perhaps that's a good thing, though, considering how bizarre a petite hulk might look. in terms of clothing, zarah isn't quite sure of how fashion works. she wears what she likes, more often than not. however, what she likes typically consists of a black hoodie with a high collar (which covers the lower half of her face, more often than not, and as such is a sort of hiding place for her). it had sleeves once, but they ripped the first time she adopted her partial form, so she carefully cut them off and has them stored away at home, just in case. she can't remember where she found it, but she's had it for years, and as such, it's a little worn out in places. in fact, the only place she doesn't really wear it is her apartment at the hole-in-the-wall, since that's usually when it's being washed or patched up. she tends to wear shorts more than anything else, though when it gets cold, she'll usually put on warm underclothes- thermal shirt and leggings, that sort of thing. she's never really handled cold weather well, no matter how cold it got at night at home. perhaps if she were less shy and less prone to her own ways, then she might like to wear one of the more colorful things she keeps in her closet. no one can notice her change in wardrobe so long as she only wears them at home, though.
