Zin dresses for the seasons and over does in autumn and winter.

Composed: Calm and collected, Zin can seem languid. She's found her place between the darkness and the light and strives for balance.
Intuitive: A good reader of others, Zin relies on gut feelings when making a decision. This rallies against the logical mathematician at her heart at times.
Religious: Raised Ukrainian Pentecostal, faith is important to Zin. She took great pains to reconcile the darkness within her and eventually came to understand the beast that whispers in her ear. This leads her to bouts of philosophical rambling.
Truth-seeker: The truth is all that matters. Zin follows that mantra and while not above deception, she prefers honesty.
Uplifting: Zin saw a world without joy during the revolution and learnt much. Where there is darkness there must be light. And if there is no light, she will become it.
Mathematician: She had a head for numbers and enjoys formulas and equations. Primes are of special significance to her. Zin ascribes to numerology, but mostly for entertainment.
