Zara Smith

Zara is an agent in the Department of Mary Sues. She is written by Scarlett.

Appearance
Zara is a tall and skinny Caucasian with a runner's build. Her hair is bobbed. It's an shade of brown—no one has been able to figure out what shade—and fairly wavy. Her eyes are green and she's blind as a bat, but refuses to switch to more practical contact lenses; preferring to continue to wear glasses. Zara's general style is combat boots, cargo pants, and whatever shirt she can find. She almost always is smoking a Bleepette, and usually has earbuds dangling from her ears

Personality
If you don't know Zara, she comes off as a sweet, kind, innocent Catholic school girl. This is not the case. She's perverted, cracks obscene jokes, and tends to be very sarcastic. Her partner Diamond's snobbish attitude annoys her, and she deliberately will do stupid things to annoy her. However, she really does care for her partner, no matter how snobbish and irritatingly perfect Dia is.

While Zara is actually a nice and well meaning person at heart, she's been rather misguided in her attempts to be one. She has Bloodwrath, and a sadistic streak, and likes to come up with creative and painful methods to execute Sues.

She's very jumpy, a problem made worse by her excessive smoking of Bleepettes. She has an addiction to Bleepproducts, and gets very grumpy when she's forbidden them.

While she's usually fairly sensible, Zara tends to come up with Very Bad Ideas and if they hurt no one but her, will usually do them if encouraged (Thalia). She is quiet and shy with strangers, but will talk their heads off once she sees them as a friend.

And like most PPCers, she's insane. Not flamethrower crazy by any means, but just insane. It is speculated, however, that she never had much sanity to begin with, being a writer and all, so it probably wasn't much of a loss.

She's trying to learn German and Black Speech, although so far she only seems to be fluent in swear words. She also has a Brummy accent that she picked up from her three years in Birmingham (she’s one of those people who struggles not to imitate someone’s accent when speaking to someone with an accent).

Her real name isn't Zara, but she's unwilling to disclose it for personal reasons.

Much like Jay, she has a weird affection for monstrous creatures. Her current pets are Coco, the fell beast who smells like chocolate, and Bella, the mutated bear who screams.

Backstory
The story of how she got to HQ is similar to most World One agents, she stumbled into a plothole and landed in HQ. Zara had a relatively normal life for a modern-day teenager, until her stint at the OFUR where she developed Bloodwrath. This was due to the fact she had a fursona with Bloodwrath and thought it would be cool to have it herself, so she put it on her application. What she didn't expect was for it to stay with her even after she finished OFUR. Zara got expelled from her school in the states for fighting brought on by Bloodwrath at 13. Her family moved to England, where Zara was able to stay out of trouble for the next three years.

During this time, she began seriously collecting books and merchandise from her favorite fandoms. Eventually, this habit resulted in a plot hole opening and Zara fell headlong into an agent's dinner in the Cafeteria. After her initial shock and after her burst of fangirling after she realized she could visit her favorite fandoms, Zara signed up. Her parents think she's away at a private boarding school for prestigious students, after the letter she sent them using stamps swiped from the Sunflower Official's desk.

She still follows England's laws, mostly so she can drink Bleepka without feeling guilty about not drinking the non-alcoholic version. These laws are also her excuse for her Bleepette addiction.
