Zena Roura
Zena Roura is a traveling cleric and devout follower of Xillios. She has been sent down to the Overworld not only to share her gift with others but to keep an eye on things for her God at the request of the Head Light Priestesses.
Zena is played by omnist_ibu in the Origins Timeline. Wants to make a place where everyone can be healed INSERT HISTORYAppearance
Zena stands at 1.5 meters tall (~5’1"). She has a chestnut complexion, light grey hair and blue eyes. Her right eye is struck with a yellow-shaped star in the iris. Her wingspan length is about 2.7 meters long from wing to wing (~8’4”). Her feet resemble a bird from the knee down and her fingertips are pink and clawed. Both are a gradient of pink to light red. The wings that are in place of her ears are the same shades as her bigger wings, normally folded against her head similar to the way her normal wings do so on her back but when struck with any strong burst of emotion (happiness, anger, embarrassment, endearment, etc.) they have a mind of their own, flapping and occasionally obscuring her vision and covering her face. On her right shoulder is a star-shaped burn which is normally covered by clothing.
She can be seen wearing slightly loose or backless tops that don’t hinder her ability to fly paired with baggy, loose calf-length pants when in a casual setting. Her official church business get-up is always a light blue dress with an off-white puffy-sleeved collared top paired with her prayer beads and pendant of Xillios. When tending the cathedral but not dealing with any outside affairs, she wears an off-the-shoulder, asymmetrical light gray top and loose white romper bottoms.
Personality
She's a friendly soul, opting to help others before helping herself. Definitely one to be the self-sacrificing type for all those she deems to be a good judge of character. Zena is patient with all, but that is normally the front she puts on when she is out and about as a Blessed Cleric of Xillios. When she's around her friends and close confidants, she is looser in her language and has quite a high level of sass for one so small.
Powers and Equipment
Solsken
A silver rapier with a swirling golden guard that has various golden eight-pointed stars and markings along its blade. Zena first uses it while "saving" The Enderchild from an enderman in Chapter One. She can summon Solsken at will by holding out her right hand, as well as dispel it at will, causing it to burst into golden particles. While flying, she can thrust at a much higher speed than on land, doing much more damage. If Solsken is too far away from Zena, it will be dispelled. The world Solsken is derived from Swedish, roughly meaning "sunshine"
AuroraA medium-sized silver bow engraved with glowing enchanting runes that shoots replenishing golden arrows. The quiver for said arrows is normally seen attached to Zena’s hip, a light blue body with lemon and white coloured stitching and tassels. Zena first uses it while "saving" The Enderchild from an enderman in Chapter One. She can summon Aurora at will by outstretching her arms in front of her and pulling back her right arm in a bow cocking motion, and she can dispel it at will, causing it to burst into golden particles. She can shoot up to 3 arrows at once, and she's often more accurate when she is flying level versus diving. If Aurora is too far away from Zena, it will be dispelled.
EstrelaA large thin white staff with a golden circular top that houses a hanging 8-pointed gold star with a bright clear gem in the middle. Estrela is only ever used during official church business and is housed and hidden within the Cathedral. If inspected closely, several glowing runes of unbreaking are delicately carved into the staff and star metal. When in use the star glows a bright white.
Xillios' ShimmerWhen Zena shoots something with Aurora, they start to glow, lighting up the area around them and revealing their location for a short period. Additionally, Zena can see this individual through walls and other surfaces.
FlightAs an elytrian, Zena has wings and can fly. She can also use her wings to glide.
Xillios' BlessingZena is one of the few individuals with magical abilities. Her magic stems from light and Xilliios himself resulting in the mark on her right eye glowing when her magic is in use or when it is at its strongest; during bright times of day, such as during the daytime or while in the Aether. Her powers include healing wounds, strengthening others by giving them tough skin and faster speed, providing light in dark areas, and summoning her weapons at will.
Weaknesses
Minor Claustrophobia
Growing up in an environment where every building has tall or no ceilings and large spaces to accommodate wingspans, Zena has never experienced close quarters or short ceilings before.
Brittle BonesAlthough her hollow bones are required for her body to be able to take flight, Zena’s weight makes her quite weak in overall strength whilst on the ground.
Stories
The Nightmare by rinkana1She heard a large bang in the next room over. Zena rushed over to see what the commotion was about, opening the door to find Elliot, sitting on the floor, surrounded by books and a lamp that was, thankfully, unlit. He sat with his knees pulled tightly to his chest, and he covered his ears trying to hide from the sound. He was having one of those visions again. She opened her mouth to call his name but paused, swiftly backing up and hurrying to another room. Elliot looked around him as the dark, spaghetified hands reached out to pull him down. Images from that moment, the moment the dragon- the moment Jean died, flashed in his mind. He was scared, he was alone, he was..
Suddenly, he was pulled back to reality. The familiar, soft hand he was used to held out a glass of water, carefully as to make sure none spilled on his skin. He reached out his shaking hand, grabbing the glass carefully, and took a small sip; the water stung slightly, but he didn't care. He looked up and met Zena's eyes, and for a moment, they shared a glance of understanding. Zena stood next to him, matching his kneeled height, and outstretched a wing around his shoulders.
It was warm.

History
Zena is the first person that Elliot meets (other than the Guardian of course). Because of this, Elliot grows rather close to Zena, viewing her as a big sister of sorts. Elliot has a tendency to want to be around Zena, a feeling that isn't always reciprocated. However, following the defeat of the Ender Dragon, Elliot and Zena get much closer.
