Zorya

"No need to worry 'bout it, love. I ain't gonna hurt ya'. Least, not that hard."

Zorya is one of the Guardians of the Mother Tree, known as the Courageous Dragon. She bonds with the half-elf Mavi Elnich.

Appearance
Zorya has shoulder-length white hair and purple eyes with blue, tear-like markings underneath them. As the Dragon Guardian, she has dark violet, stubby horns, and pointed ears that peek out from underneath her hair. She usually wears a dark teal and navy suit secured by a vest, dark brown straps, and a dark brown belt embellished with a silver brooch. The outfit is topped off with knee-high boots and bracers. She is 5'7", but 5'8" with her horns.

Personality
One of Zorya's most easily noticeable characteristics is the kind, calm, cool, and collected manner in which she carries herself. She tends to speak in a very composed manner, even in dire situations, and rarely acts without thinking. Her demeanor in a lot of ways can be compared to that of a secret agent. She is also more perceptive than she seems, and often tells people what they need to hear instead of what they want.

Zorya possesses a playful personality and is flirtatious, making her a capable seductress. However, Zorya harbors a more serious side, being rather smug and confident in her own capabilities as well as taking pride in it.

Zorya is generally light-hearted and gregarious, making jokes at her own expense and giving a mirthful laugh about it afterwards. In her interactions with others, she likes to pretend to be smug or selfish, upsetting them so that she could further rile them up with her humor.

Even as an assassin, Zorya is kind and compassionate, as well as a loyal friend and ally. She will do everything in her power to protect those in need, even if it means placing herself in harm's way.

Zorya also has a sarcastic sense of humor, as she is quick to make witty or snarky remarks, much to the chagrin of others. She is also a bit of prankster at times. She also finds it humorous to pretend to be human. She also doesn't like to fit in, finding it boring, and considers it more pleasurable to stand out.

Zorya is very cunning, clever and has good instincts when it comes to suspecting something about enemies. Zorya also tends to disguise herself as a human to explore human villages without raising suspicion.

Growing up alongside dragons, Zorya has a deep respect for them. As the Courageous dragon, she is noted to be courageous enough to fight against fear itself.

Powers and Abilities
Fire breathing: Zorya can breathe a large stream of searing hot, deadly, fiery-flames or napalm from her mouth and nostrils that can set anything aflame and melt almost anything it hits. In addition, she can also launch destructive, explosive fireballs.

Frost Breath: In addition to fire, Zorya is also capable of breathing a stream of ice from her mouth that can freeze anything it hits.

Shapeshifting: The ability to take on a humanoid form and to change into a winged-dragon, gaining the ability to fly and retaining the ability to breath fire. Zorya's actual appearance is humanoid with dragon characteristics, like her horns, but she can also change into any other form (i.e when she first appeared, she took on the appearance of a human adventurer). She often uses this to trick her opponents.

Speed, Agility, and Strength: Zorya has supernatural agility, endurance, and speed, giving her impressive parkour and free-running skills, as she was able to speed across difficult terrain, like sand and rocks, with ease and jump from tree to tree without missing a beat. As a dragon, she can fly with incredible speed, able to suddenly appear almost like teleporting. Her natural agility allows her to execute mid-air somersaults and flips with ease. These acrobatic abilities make her fast and agile in battle, able to outmaneuver almost any opponent as well as dodge their attacks, even when she is outnumbered. Zorya also has great strength, being able to scale virtually any surface of terrain quickly with the help of her blades, relying gravely on her upper body strength. She can easily overpower humans through sheer physical force, break through the thickest of rock walls, and have strength great enough to crush stone with ease. She is able to casually break and crush bones, toss a grown man like a doll, and easily lift and carry a handful of grown men and women and even lift 70,000-100,000 pounds, for over hundreds of miles. She can also jump exceptionally high and far, even from a stationary position.

Combatant: Trained from a young age, Zorya is a skilled sword fighter, specialized in dual-wielding swordplay. She was able to defeat multiple foes using only her swords, even when her opponents required precision attacks.

Invulnerability: Having nearly impenetrable scales, Zorya is near completely invulnerable.

Flight: Zorya can grow giant bat-like wings which she can use to fly. She is an incredibly capable flyer, able to move with great speed and maneuverability, and still demonstrate great stealth. She can also fly for great distances.

Superior Stamina: Zorya doesn't tire easily, she can fly miles at incredible speeds, and go through severe trauma without fatigue. Additionally, she can go weeks, decades, even centuries, without food or water.

Super Senses: Zorya possesses supernatural senses, able to smell, hear, and feel if someone is breathing, if someone is watching her, or even where they are, even if they are completely invisible.

Nigh-Immortality: Zorya is almost immortal and cannot be killed by any man-made weapon. She is capable of living for up to more than a thousand years.
