Zava is very carefree and often lazy at times. She enjoys living life her own way, and doesn't like when others try to interfere with it. She does things as she wants and often times does them on a whim. Despite her lazy and calm personality, she can be quite hot headed and aggressive when pushed. This can cause her to be fiery at times, and in turn it allows her to care deeply about those she calls friends.Despite being rather jaded due to her experiences with the real world she chooses to be an optimist and idealist, deciding to see the good in others rather than the bad.Zava is a social butterfly, always willing to strike up a conversation with those that pique her interest. She is just as likely to share a drink with someone as she is to challenge them to a fight. Both great ways of bonding in her eyes.

History

Everyone has their flaws and imperfections, but that's what drives us to work together... to make up for those flaws.

Zava Aziza is a rarity among the Keepers of the Moon having been born and raised in Ul'dah. Her mother died at a young age resulting in her father raising her by himself. He was an accomplished member of the city's Pugilist guild and would bring Zava to the guild starting at a young age. At first it was merely to watch, but at the young age of five she began to train at the guild. She would continue to train with her father and the Pugilist guild for much of her adolescence, occasionally participating in the cities Coliseum.At the age of sixteen she would leave Ul'dah in search of other martial arts. She would arrive at Rhalgr's Reach and train with the monks there for a time. It was also here that she would meet her first lover, a young male Miqo'te. The two would bond and at the age of twenty-one, Zava would have her first and only child; a daughter named Ahsa. Zava's lover would be tragically killed whilst protecting his daughter. Soon after the death of her lover, Zava left Rhalgr's Reach and took Ahsa with her. She would travel the world, taking up monster hunting as both a way to provide for herself and her child but to also keep her in tip top shape. At the age of twenty-five, Zava, along with Ahsa would move to Hingan, where they would live for the next two decades. She would occasionally travel to Thavnair, Yanxia, and Doma for both work and finding new challenges but would always return to Hingan, where she would train under the tutelage of Tadekore Munenori, an Elezen Martial Arts master. It was under him that Zava would learn various martial arts and skills before returning to Eorzea at the age of forty-five.Zava now owns her very own teahouse and lounger located in Shirogane called The Orchid Cup. She is extremely proud to have opened up her own business and looks forward to growing it. (orchidcup.carrd.co)
