Sorority: Martial arts club

Part/Full Time Job: Seamstress / Costume designer/ Blacksmith

Appearance:

Zaku Stands a simple 4'5" tall, however many assume she is far shorter as when in public she tends to shrink in on herself and ends up looking much smaller, she tends towards simple clothing, ankle long skirts, sweater tops, things to hide herself in, she wears her Brown hair long and usually loose though she actually has a constant massive cowlick that would stand about as tall as she is if it didn't sag down due to gravity, though some have noticed that it seems to react to her mood. Her earth brown eyes are slightly hidden behind a pair of glasses.

Despite her size she is actually very well..."developed" for her age to the point that her hips and bust measurement tends to make a lot of other girls her age feel inadequacy at their own "development", which is half the reason she tends to hide her body in loose fitting clothing.

one would think Her skin would be rather pale, due to her time working on the hobby she is most known for, but she actually has a great deal of strength in her body, and a deep tan from working near fire all the time when not at school. maybe would be quite surprised if they seen the muscle definition under the loose clothing, Though not Body builder proportions, her muscles are formed from hard work and dedication to a craft she has been training to perfect, as well as dedicated to the only club she had joined....and started herself.

Alternate Appearance:
Zaku gains a set of armor on her body, the helm blocking out her face with a totally opaque visor, the armor protects vital parts of her body while granting her mobility, the opaque helm visor actually being quite clear to her. the only indication of where she is looking is a solitary red glowing "eye" that moves along the visor when she looks around.

The pauldurons on the armor have spikes on them hinting at their secondary use, the armor also changes her skin tone to a far paler color, and keeps her hair tucked in under the helm. The armor looks highly advanced, even hinting that the person may in fact be an ASSW, the thrusters on it also hit at this, as well as it's overall "all out war" look

Personality:

Zaku is introverted, she stammers and pauses her speech when talking and barely if ever makes eye contact, always shirking away from people when they try to get closer to her due to being used to only being bullied due to her height...her glasses...her matured body...basically everything people can make fun of they do.

She also does it to make sure she doesn't hurt anyone, as her strength is quite great due to her own pass times and she constantly worries that she might not be feminine enough.

She greatly loves Cosplaying however and is quite the talented seamstress and Ancient fighting styles even modern military tactics and training catches her interest, they are her greatest passion, but her greatest love is her love for Smithing, to the point where she actually made herself a set of armor and a large axe that she could actually lift and wield.

pic of Zaku's last cosplay:

When in cosplay or in her club training, or even when making armor, she gets a large boost in confidence, talking and holding herself with a more determined air about her, she loses herself in her cosplay at times, or in her training, but after it all she always returns to her normal Introverted self. only thinking of the cosplaying and training as only a fantasy, her worry that she might not ever get a guy to notice her always making her quite the awkward one when not in her "element"

The Background
History: Zaku Has lived a rather normal life, other then the constant bullying she had undergone for quite some time, but there was one thing that always got her through a lot of things, and that was the hope that maybe she could end up amounting to something. It was that hope that made her slip into her hobbies so wholeheartedly, making costumes, sewing, and smithing all took up her time, making her more distant and socially awkward even as she trained her body and skills. She even let her passion lead her to making a club for such things, where she could teach blacksmithing and even ancient fighting styles and the like, but the blacksmithing class fell through, and her club currently only has one member....herself, but she doesn't feel sad about it, she still runs the club and hopes to get more people in it, unlike out in "normal" places, in the club and even in a forge she finds it easier to be more out going as she has skills and knowledge that she knows others don't have. Though she has been plagued by dreams lately, Day dreaming of being someone that others looked up to other then in a forge or club, she wants to prove herself, but at the same time she constantly worries that she may not be feminine enough to have something else she wants to eventually find, if something like that even exists, a husband, a wife...love really and she wants to teach any children she has to follow in her footsteps, though even the Idea of being in a relationship still scares her. Not to mention her height being something of a worrisome issue with a lot of people around her who think she may be younger then she is based solely on height.
