Appearance: Zanelle's style of dress is a bit more on the "vintage" look, her wardrobe generally consisting of mom jeans, denim/graphic shirts and sneakers. She'll usually dress up her outfit with a wacky patterned belt and jewelry. She has an industrial piercing in both ears, and a small tattoo on the back of her ankle. She also wears a pair of thick framed glasses, but prefers to wear her contacts due to a bit of teasing.
Personality: Zanelle leans much more toward introversion than extroversion. She cherishes her "me-time," prefers to observe before she acts, and contributes to conversation only when she thinks she has something relevant to say. Although having a few good friends, she isn't the "nicest" person you'll ever meet. When you do hear her speak, she's often blunt, sarcastic, or brutally honest. She also has a bit of a potty mouth. She seemingly doesn't give a damn about anything or anyone besides herself and her writing.
She can sometimes overly guarded and secretive. When everyone is talking about more personal subjects, she is good at hanging back and not contributing; she'll end up changing the subject, taking the attention off of herself, or giving vague, evasive answers. She hates talking about herself, but loves to listen to and analyze the problems of others. You'll more often than not find her with her head buried in a book or a blunt in hand. When you bring her out of her shell, however, she's an overall fun person to be around, as long as you're someone she finds to be a decent person.
History: Zanelle lives in a moderate sized, two-bedroom apartment with her single mother and pet hamster. She's always been a bit "nerdy," keeping her head down and getting her work done. It also doesn't help that she is very introverted and would much rather spend her time reading, smoking, or playing video games than at any social events. She's never gotten into any real trouble other than a fight in ninth grade; she won, but the girl she fought decided not to press charges.
Others: She wants to be the next Maya Angelou/J.K. Rowling.
Kanye West is her idol.
