Other Characters: Maureen Johnson, Anna of Arendelle
IC:
Character Name: Zari Tarazi
Age: ~33
Canon: Legends of Tomorrow
Canon Point: End of series, as they're being arrested
History: Here
Personality: At first glance, Zari is assumed to be arrogant, egotistical, selfish, and rude. Certainly, she is somewhat all of those things. Since she rose to fame quickly and built her multi-million dollar empire centered entirely around herself and her brand, she gives off those vibes. But much of that is a mask for her own deep-rooted insecurity.
Because all she has going for her is her brand, she feels as though her parents favor her brother over herself. He’s the one going to college for a business degree, after all, and is constantly doted upon. Even when she became a sort-of member of the Legends, when there was talk of a “different her” potentially being there before timelines shifted, she found herself extremely insecure at how awesome and competent said her could have been. She’s only a half decent hacker because of the meshed memories, and the first version of her had been the totem wielder unlike herself. It’s the first time that Zari really lets down her mask and shows her vulnerability.
Even though she is jealous of other-her and her brother, with how awesome they are- she is seen to be very nurturing to those she cares about. Whether it’s doting on Behrad if he gets hurt or if there’s a possibility of him getting hurt… Or even when her relationship with John Constantine flourishes and she constantly plucks cigarettes from his hands to keep him on track with quitting smoking. She can also be found primping other female members of the crew, making sure their hair is always in place and they always look 100% on point.
Flirtatious and socially savvy, Zari isn’t afraid to use her social butterfly status to manipulate things in her favor. Zari used her knowledge of influence to assume the identity of Cleopatra when she and John were stuck around several hell encores who would have murdered them on the spot. And it wasn’t through a slip up of hers that they were discovered- it was through his own slip up. When she first met Nate, who showed his obvious interest in her without even bothering to hide it, she attempted to use that to her advantage to figure out what Behrad was up to.
Though many of her initial qualities may be seen as negative, through her time with the Legends she’s become less of the negative and more of the positive, even turning to use perceived negative traits into positive ways to help her new friends.
After her very rocky relationship with John ended and she and the others found themselves trapped in the twenties, Zari's more comfortable at showing the Real her- not the mask she was putting on. She'll still slip back into old habits, but she's getting better at being vulnerable and showing how much she cares. (Which is probably the best outcome of her doomed relationship with John- she was comfortable enough to be herself around him and he loved her for who she really was... not her social media persona.)
Abilities: Since she gave Nate her totem, Zari is not arriving in Requiem with any powers. Non-superhero abilities, however, include: speaking 3 languages fluently (english, farsi, french), using her social savvy to deceive or manipulate (she's just really good at acting- which btw she's a classically trained actor), and she has fantastic memory recall... generally used for ridiculous things like carb counting or keeping track of how long it's been since she's had a donut.
Because she's the second her to exist on this earth thanks to timeline shenanigans (please, it's DCTV, there's always something weird happening)- Zari has some computer hacking skills that she honestly doesn't know what to do with. She'll mostly just resort to "unplugging" something instead. But if it's for her Brand, she might spend a little more time figuring it out.
Inventory: Her clothes, ofc. But a box of her brand of herbal supplements called "Dragon Ash"... honestly it's just herbal supplements in powder form to add to drinks for like help sleeping, better focus. Stuff like that.
And the pocket dimension key that John gave to her after they broke up. Essentially it creates a doorway to John's pocket dimension version of his home. Doesn't go anywhere else- and no one can get in there other than by using this key.
Very okay with it not working/not working immediately here.
Eternal Reward: Well, she'd like for all of her friends to NOT go to time jail for life.
Goals/Ideas: Zari really needs to regain some of her confidence- it was really fucked over when she and John were having trouble/breaking up/he died then came back just to be like "yeah no, i'm stuck going to hell for a while now"... other than that, I'm just excited to vibe with her and see where the flow takes us
