Name: Zara Hardy (Z)

Age: 27

Zara has a very limited family. She doesn’t know her father and has a non-existant relationship with her mother, Zara spent her childhood passed around family to family, foster home to foster home. She never settled, always too volatile to be kept in one place. She ended up on the streets at the age of 18 making her money as a pickpocket. After about 6 months she got herself into a bit of trouble. She’d fallen in love, or so she’d thought. At the same time she started working in a bar, she was underage but it wasn't the kind of place to ask too many questions and she was good. Over time her relationship got more and more violent. 

​

When Zara turned up for work with a bloody lip and bruises around her neck the guys at the bar decided to step in. Zara never saw him after that but she was left with another little reminder. She was pregnant. The next 9 months were a struggle but the people she worked with rallied round her, making sure she was ok, making sure she was safe. On the 10th May she had her little girl, names her Lilith and gave her up immediately. Deciding that this was no life for a child and she would only get herself or Zara hurt. Over the next 7 years Zara focused on work. She trained and trained hard, deciding she was never going to be put in that position again. 

​

She started picking up a few of the jobs that came through the bar and soon realised she was very very good at it. Eventually she bought the bar and became one of the best Assassins in New York. She had a reputation and a good one at that, priding herself on never failing a job. That was until Mr Renwik LeBeau’s file crossed her desk. Something about him just stopped her. She couldn't quite bring herself to complete the mission and he was the first person she ever let go, deciding she'd rather  take the hit to her reputation than kill him. Something about him spoke to her, they were the same after all. 

​

Since then, to her surprise they have grown closer, what started off as a casual fling turned into love, something Zara doesn't take lightly, or ever thought she would have. She was never one to believe in soulmates but if she did that would be her first guess. Zara doesn’t make friends easily, after all it makes her job easier if she doesn’t. But the friends she does have she protects with all her strength. She does have a weakness for kids however. Not in a gushy maternal way but she’s nowhere near as blunt with them as she is with adults. Part of her wonders what Lilith would be like now, every now and then she gets the urge to get in contact but shrugs it off. 

​

Zara has a limited number of mutations but she doesn't consider herself a mutant. She posses limited teleportation abilities. In complete darkness she can ‘flicker’ from one place to another. She is unable to use this ability in daylight and can’t take anyone with her. 

She also possesses ‘Electrokinesis” but again, this isn't particularly strong. She has enough control to cause a small electrical surge, making lights flicker or fuses blow out but nothing more sophisticated. Mostly she uses these as tools for intimidation, preferring to take down her opponents in more traditional ways. 

​

Her weapon of choice in her knives or a gun in a pinch. But after all, bullets can be traced and she’d never leave a knife behind.
