| “ | I want to follow my own destiny, not one that my parents decide for me! – Zarina the Tiger |
” |
Zarina the Tiger (ザリナ・ザ ・タイガー Zarina za Taigaa) is a 15 year old anthropomorphic female Mobian tiger, a treasure hunter and a freelance mercenary, under the alias of "White Tiger".
She is the only daughter of Seth and Lilac, the younger step-sister of Felix, Carmen, Leya, Diego, and Leila, and step-daughter of Antonio (though at first it was believed that Zarina was the daughter of Antonio and the the half-sister to his children).
At 12 years old, Zarina ran away from home, since she wanted to choose her own destiny, not one her father chose for her. She is also the love interest of Sonic the Hedgehog.
Physical description
Zarina is a slim white tiger with black stripes, pale blue eyes and shoulder-length white hair with black highlights and a tuft of hair covering her left eye. Her attire consists of a black cape over a navy blue pirate's jacket over a white and black pirate dress, black belt and black boots. She also has a blue feather earring on her right ear.
In Sonic Boom, her attire is less bulky is more suited for "action".
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 the 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
When she was born, everyone believed that Zarina was a descendant of Riviera. However, after learning that Antonio was not her father, and Seth the Jackal was, her powers awoke, revealing that she inherited the power of lightning manipulation. In addition to her magical abilities, she is skilled in martial arts, stealth and hand-to-hand combat skills, having been taught Seth.
