Zarina the Tiger

Zarina the Tiger (ザリナ・ザ ・タイガー Zarina za Taigaa), also known as White Lightning, is a 15 year old anthropomorphic female Mobian white tiger, a treasure hunter and freelance mercenary.

She is the oldest daughter and child of Seti and Alina, the younger half-sister of Leya and Diego, and the step-sister of Felix and Carmen. For most of her life, Zarina had believed her father was Elio, the King of Mystique. It wasn't until she ran away from home, and became a mercenary and was hired to collect something called Tesoro de la Verdad (Treasure of Truth).

A few days short of her fifteenth birthday, Zarina learned she was being set up to an arranged marriage with her friend, Callum the Cougar of the House of Bagheera. Not wanting to be through an arranged marriage with someone she sees as a brother, Zarina ran away from home, with the help of Seti's daughter, Kenya (who she later learned was her step-sister).

Physical description

Zarina (Humanoid)

A possible look for a humanoid (kemonomimi) Zarina.

Zarina is a slim white and black-stripped tiger, with short, shoulder-length purple-silverish hair, and purple eyes. She has a blue feathered earring in her right ear. She often wears a black hoodie jacket over a black top with gold accents, matching pants, and boots. She has the Thunderstorm Staff, in the wand form, attached to her waist, and also wears a blue and gold feathered earring. She sometimes wears a black cloak covering her entire body.

If she were a humanoid, Zarina would be a slim and slender, olive-skinned, young woman with silver-purple hair, and purple eyes. She wears a black hooded jacket with purple and gold accents, over a black and gold shirt, matching pants, and boots. In this form she would also have the Thunderstorm Staff on her person, but in its smaller, wand form for the longest time.

Personality

Zarina is seen as calm, mysterious, and stubborn, at times. She doesn't like to reveal her past to anyone. Zarina hates being told what to do, but she lets her charges tell her what needs to be done during missions. She would have joined G.U.N. but wasn't thrilled about being told when she had to go onto a mission and when she can't. Though, she will help G.U.N. when they need extra help. To most people, Zarina seems cold and heartless, but she really isn't. In addition, she has a soft spot for children.

Abilities

For the longest time, it was believed that Zarina was a descendant of Vulcan, even after when her magical abilities didn't show up. Forgoing the laws of Mystique, Alina had Zarina taught combat in secret, by her former lover, Seti. Zarina spent almost ten years improving her skills in stealth, hand to hand combat, and learning how to use almost any known weapon. When she ran away and became a mercenary, her skills helped her and allowed her to gain a reputation.

When the truth of her parentage was revealed, Zarina's power awoke, apparently from a comatose state, and revealing she is a descendant of the House of Cleone. The reason for her powers being comatose is still unknown.

Powers

  • Lightning manipulation: From her Cleone bloodline, Zarina inherited the power to control lightning. She is able to create and control lightning. She can naturally generate and absorb electrical energy, which they can discharge through destructive bolts. However, given that her powers have been dormmate for the past fifteen years, her powers are a little out of control.
    • Electricity generation: She is able to generate electricity and project them in various forms of attacks. Due to her out of control powers, Zarina is always unleashing lightning, which causes her to shock anyone that touches her.
      • Electricity attacks: She is able to unleash electricity and lightning in the form of various attacks, such as beams, bolts, blasts, waves, balls, and scattershots.
    • Electrical Immunity: She is able to resist electricity and be unharmed by it.
    • Electrokinetic constructs: She is able to create tools, weapons, armor, appendages, and barriers out of lightning.
    • Electrical telekinesis: She is able to manipulate matter using electricity.
    • Storm manipulation: Zarina was the one of her generation to inherit the power to control storms. However, Zarina doesn't use this power, mostly due to her the unitability of her powers, she doesn't want to see what would happen.
  • Enhanced speed and agility: Zarina possesses enhanced speed and agility. While she is unable to match Sonic, she is still quite fast.
  • Heighten senses: As a canine hybrid, Zarina possesses heighten senses, which help her in her mercenary work.
  • Fang retraction: Due to Seti, Zarina is also able to retract her fangs.
  • Enhanced athleticism: She is highly acrobatic and athletic, able to perform amazing feats of speed, balance, and dexterity.

Skills

  • Combat mastery: Zarina is incredibly skilled in combat, able to hold her own over several assailants.
    • Electrokinetic combat: Since her powers appeared, Zarina is constantly training with her father to better understand how to use her lightning with her fighting skills.
  • Weapon mastery: She has learned several forms of armed combat, able to work with anything she finds if her standard equipment is beyond reach. However, she prefers to use her martial arts instead.
    • Enhanced staff proficiency: She is skilled with staff and can easily hold her ground against foes.
  • Tracking: Zarina is a relatively skilled tracker, able to keep a tail on her targets.
  • Stealth and infiltration: Zarina is well trained in stealth and infiltration, able to conceal her movements from enemies and sneak into fortified locations without alerting anyone.
  • Extensive knowledge of crystals and gemstones: She has extensive knowledge of crystals and gemstones.
  • Multilingualism: Born in a Spanish-speaking kingdom, Zarina is able to speak Spanish and English.

Weaknesses

  • Physique: Despite her constant training, Zarina still has the physique of a 15-year-old girl.
  • Overdeveloped powers: Due to her powers being dormant for fifteen years, Zarina's powers are extremely overdeveloped to the point she can barely control them. This forces her to wear her inhibitor-like gauntlets, originally belonging to her ancestor, Cleopatra, to limit how much power she can release.

Equipment

  • Thunderstorm Staff: Before running away, Zarina stole the staff that was hidden in her stepfather's office. Upon touching it, the staff glowed and with the small amount of Chaos power inside, teleported Zarina out of Mystique.
  • Lightning Gauntlets: Once learning her true parentage, Seti took Zarina to Veton to meet his mother, her grandmother, Nefertiti. Zarina was given Cleopatra's gauntlets upon seeing her granddaughter's overdeveloped powers, something that Cleopatra had issues with herself, many centuries ago. Like Cleopatra, the gauntlets help Zarina limit how much power she can release, at the expense of not hurting anyone or herself.

Trivia

  • Zarina was originally not going to have any powers, but that was later changed.
  • Zarina was inspired by SupaSilver's Sonic character Sakura the White Tigress.
  • She shares the same name with the Tinker Bell Character of the same name.
  • Zarina would be voiced by Jessica Rey who played Alyssa Enrilé in Power Rangers: Wild Force.
  • Zarina's gauntlets are based on RWBY character, Yang Xiao Long's weapon, Ember Celica, inactive mode.
