History


Date of Birth: December 7th, 1974
Home: Alexandria, Alexandria Governorate, Egypt
Family: Najib and Israa el-Eid (parents), Asghar (younger brother); Jaya and Nisha (son and daughter)
Chrysalis: Personal Tragedy (born into a relatively poor family, father a grocer and mother a clerk, she was still a curious child and eager for old stories such as Scheherazade would tell; she got her chance to "live" it when salafi terrorists kidnapped her along with other civilians; her fear and poise combined to spur her Chrysalis), 1992
Mentor: Manas Kusari
The Test: Trial by Influence (the surge of Glamour confused her captors with the Mists, an opportunity she and the other hostages used to escape; but fearing they would chase her home and hurt her family, she kept fleeing, smuggling herself aboard ships and buses to halfway cross the world, stopping only when she reached New Delhi; there an Eshu Grump recognized the Chrysalid's swirling and uncertain, wild Glamour, and the old guru took her under wing to teach her and see to her Saining)
Comrades: Lon Ember, Oberon Martinet, Floyd Lannon, Yasmin Farley, Lauren Early, Keegan Ormond, Priscilla Ormond
Key Event #1: Awe & Wonder (once she was Sained, she bid her master farewell and began traveling, this time without fear but instead confidence and earnest; she visited many courts and commoner mews across Central Asia, the Near East, and North Africa, pausing often to absorb the culture, and trading stories for access to freehold Glamour)
Key Event #2: Awe & Wonder (then she crossed the Atlantic from Casablanca, continuing her storytelling as a trade, making it even into a mortal career as a sort of cabaret-styled entertainer, taking stage names like "Allyson Smith" and "Airlea Smythe" to smooth over concern or confusion about her ethnic identity, which she deliberately left mysterious and even flat-out lied about sometimes)
Transition: Shift in Nature (as she grew older, she yearned for a deeper connection and found it in a Liam Sidhe named Lon Ember, whom she wooed and seduced; they fell deeply in love, Oathed and married, and even had children: fraternal twins Jaya [boy] and Nisha [girl]; while a Grump now, she was content to "settle down" in San Francisco with Lon and their growing family, so long as "settle down" included frequent travel destinations/vacations!)

Remembrance


Magnitude: Zeena's fae memory extends back a few centuries to a period after the Shattering.
Details: In addition to recalling additional tales she can tell, she is also haunted by unfortunately tragic past lives, her previous incarnations murdered or left to fade into Banality. Such visions often manifest in paralyzing flashbacks.
