[b]Trait Advancement:[/b]
--Investigator (Sharp Rank 2): Knowing your enemy is important. Hopefully being able to read his opponents will help Zayn in the hundreds of battles to come.

--Slippery: Zayn was lucky to survive his first real combat after joining the Blades. Realizing that no one’s luck holds forever, Zayn is taking advantage of the Queens’ resources to learn a valuble lesson: how not to get hit.

--Hostile Fauna: Animals are fueled by emotion and instinct. As a budding empath, Zayn is quickly discovering the uses his powers could have on such creatures. He is able to manipulate animals to perform actions. The effect is subtle: convincing a rabbit to attack a wolf is hard; convincing a wolf that your enemy looks delicious is less so. If Zayn spends significant time with an animal, the bonds he forms can be made deeper and more profound, granting him more control over the beast in question.
