[Name]: Lady Zozo (Real name: Milk Macchiato)
[Canon]: Code of Princess
[Age]: She's an immortal necromancer, so it's unknown.
[Gender]: Female.
[Canon Point]: Right before encountering Distille in her newly regained body.

[History]: Here and here, just to be safe.

[Personality]:

Zozo is, to put it simply, a gloomy character. If there is a chance that things can go wrong, Zozo is most likely aware of that chance and will not hesitate to inform the party of what could happen as bluntly as possible. That isn't to say she's always depressed or looking on the down side of things, though it's understandable why most people would think that. When speaking, Zozo's voice often sounds bored or disinterested. It's not that she can't express emotions, it's just that she's really bad at it. It's possible to tell how she's feeling, sure, but even her angry or happy tone still sounds apathetic.

Aside from being gloomy, there is her bluntness to take into account. Zozo sees very little point in censoring herself, and as such tends to say exactly how she feels without pulling any punches what so ever. However, this can end up being a bit on the weird side, as Zozo isn't exactly what you'd call normal. Because she doesn't filter what she says, often times Zozo will start talking about something (usually body parts) so long as it has some relevance to the conversation at hand. For example, she states in game that none of the characters in the party (at that time) are men...but follows up with a mention that some of her body parts came from men.

When one takes into account her gloominess, bluntness, and difficulty showing emotion, one would probably imagine that Zozo lacks social skills. And they would be correct. She herself states that she does not like talking with people and hasn't had a friend or friends in a long time. Despite this, she doesn't seem to hate people. It's just that, for the most part, she doesn't usually understand them and they usually don't understand her. So obviously she doesn't see much point in interacting with them. Best if they just stay their separate ways; less frustrating that way.

However, that isn't to say that she cannot form bonds with people. She doesn't really hold grudges against people, even when they do something pretty bad. Hell, Liongate sliced her arm clean off and she was just happy to be alive. It's unknown why she's like this, but considering she's immortal it's possible that, since she could just replace the arm anyway, it wasn't a big deal. It's also possible (and implied) that she's just used to people being mean to her and has more or less accepted it. Showing emotion is hard for her, but it's also because she is just...cool with most things. The only things that really set her off are annoying people and being called a zombie.

Being a necromancer isn't just Zozo's specialty when it comes to magic, it's also a part of who she is. By that, I mean it's clear that she has a different set of morals regarding death and the dead. Most people see corpses as people who have passed on that need to be respected, to be buried and laid to rest and even visited on occasion. But to Zozo, they're just things. People are what matters, and once you die your body is just a sack of flesh and bone. There's no person there, so why shouldn't she just take whatever parts she needs? That person is dead and she's still alive, after all.

Finally, there's one last aspect of Zozo's personality that needs addressing. Specifically, how selfless she is. Zozo joined the party, despite the fact that they were basically wanted criminals, simply because she was bored and because she wanted to help. She didn't actually think it would lead her to the owner of her body, and even when it did, when presented with the option to chase after her body (which her friends were okay with), she chose instead to help the party go after Distille and find it later. In addition to that, it should be noted that Zozo did not inform the party that if the Empyrean Stone (the source of all the world's magic) was destroyed she would die, as her soul is only bound to her current body by magic. She could have very well told them this, which would have effected the party/Solange's decision, but instead she kept her mouth shut. She was willing to sacrifice her own life for the sake of her friends and others. So while she is gloomy and doesn't like talking to people, ultimately she is fully capable of self-sacrifice.

[Abilities / Strengths & Weaknesses]:

ABILITIES

Being a necromancer means that Zozo has a large set of magic and curses that she can use to her advantage. They are as follows:

CURSES:

Petrify: Turn people/animals/things to stone for a few seconds/1 minute unless they get away from the circle.
Poison: Make an opponent feel incredibly ill for a short amount of time.
Stun: Effectively paralyze her target for an extremely short amount of time, no longer then a few seconds.

MAGIC:

Levitation: Can however over short distances fairly high in the air for a limited amount of time
Fireballs: Can conjure and shoot a set number at her enemies from the top of her staff.
Laser: Fires a huge laser from the top of her staff at her targets. Sends them flying backwards, but unfortunately can hit her friends in the crossfire.
Shockwave: Summons a massive shock wave that manifests as a large spike of energy coming out of the ground in a straight line.
Regeneration: Can heal her body over time. Cannot regrow "lost parts".
Part Replacement: If a part of her body falls off or is cut off, she can replace it so long as she has the proper corpse part. Has some level of customization over the part, but ultimately it will take the shape/size/etc of its original look, as shown by her bigger arm.
Mana Restoration: Using spells and curses takes up power from her, but over time that power naturally restores itself. Cannot use up too much, otherwise her body gets harder to keep together.
Voice Projection: Because her tongue fell out a while ago and Zozo doesn't see much point in replacing it, since she doesn't like talking to people, she instead projects her voice through the little skull on her staff. So her lips do not move, except during expressions. No sound actually comes out of her mouth.

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES

+ Strong magic
+ Can fix her body
+ Loyal
+ Forgiving
+ Selfless
+ Does not need to eat
+ Effectively Immortal
- Needs exact body parts to replace lost ones
- Often loses parts over time
- Cannot take too many hits
- Lacks social skills
- Cannot reattach old parts
- If her soul is separated from her body and she cannot form another body then she's as good as dead. Period.

[Limited Powers]:

I'm fine with limiting them if need be, but as it stands Zozo is quite the glass canon, so I think they should be fine.

[Other Important Facts]:

She HATES being called a zombie.

She loses body parts a lot.

Her staff's name is Staffy. The skull hanging from Staffy, which she uses to project her voice through, is named Joanne. This is obviously Very Important™.

[The handwriting on the page is a bit on the messy side, but it's large enough so that isn't much of a problem. It does seem like the message was written with a bit of difficult, though.]

Hi. My name's Zozo, but it's cool if you don't remember my name. Most people don't. It kinda sucks, but trust me when I say you get used to it after a while. No big deal, really.

[Clearly this message is off to a good start.]

Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone could show me to a cemetery? It's kind of important. I'd be willing to pay you, so...yeah. If you're interested, please reply. Like fast.

Thanks.
