Appearance
Zerahza is a Mink of the Zebra species. She stands quite tall and is defined by very long legs attached to broad, curvy hips. She has large, heavy hooves shod with iron horseshoes with primarily functional design. Her figure is stunning, muscular yet shapely and beautifully curved. Her F cups hang heavily from a broad, slightly masculine chest. Her stripes are primarily resigned to her back, arms and legs, leaving her abdomen as white as snow. Her long arms give her an impressive reach even for her natural height.
She wears her mane in a Mohawk that extends down to her shoulders and ties off into a three foot long braid. She prefers to wear clothing that is stylish but functional. Baggy pants made of fine cloth, a loose fitting blouse or fur jacket. Rarely she will adorn a dress, however she almost always prefers to be mostly covered. One of her favorite outfits consists of shoulder length black gloves, thigh high leg warmers, and a knee length, turtleneck sweater dress. Her long, silky tail reaches the back of her knees, and is tied off at the tip by a black ribbon.

Fighting Styles
Name:– Thunder Clinic
Focus:– Electro Enhanced Martial Arts
Rank:– E
Description:– Zerahza has trained herself in a form of kick-heavy martial arts resembling a combination of Muay Thai and Tae Kwon Do. As a surgeon her hands are incredibly valuable, and she prefers not to risk them in a fight. She utilizes her long, powerful legs to keep opponents at bay utilizing rapid flutter kicks and sweeping strikes. Her height and leg length allow her to fight fairly defensively, her favorite stance being one where she balances on a single hoof, holding her other leg up, ready to snap out like a furred viper at anyone that comes within her impressive range. She has an iron horseshoe on each hoof, which conducts her electro quite well when necessary to greatly empower her attacks.
Name:– GMN-1 Speed Booster - 125 pts
Fighting Style:– N/A
Rank:– 2
Description:– Zerahza swallows a large blue-green pill containing a dose of her unique hormone enhancing drug she named GMN-1, or Gemini. She then focuses her Electro inward, catalyzing the drug in order to give her a temporary and immense boost to her Speed and Agility. She can only use this drug once per day at its current rank. Using it a second time will still give the same benefits, but will render her nearly incapacitated afterwards. The combination of Endorphins, Testosterone, Adrenaline and other assorted chemicals provided is potent, causing an incredible drain on her systems afterwards.
Name:– Storm Flicker - 125 pts
Fighting Style:– Thunder Clinic
Rank:– 2
Description:– After charging one of her hooves with Electro, Zerahza stands on one leg and delivers a barrage of rapid snap kicks, discharging an electric shock with each one. She aims to debilitate, targeting weak points and nerve clusters, though she can sacrifice accuracy for speed and force, opting for pure offense when necessary.
Equipment
Name: Medical Gear
Fighting Style: N/A
Rank: 0
Description:. Zerahza always carries on her person a bag of basic and specialized medical gear. For the most part it is a standard surgeons kit, though it also includes some basic ampules and chemical testing/dilution/extraction items which allow her to process and do basic experiments in the field. Carries an ample supply of scalpels.

Background
Zerahza Zira was born Zerabra Zuuro, and grew into his teen years on the Mink home island of Zou. From a young age he was obsessed with herbalism and he made a hobby out of foraging for medical plants the city doctors could use for medicine. He was a solitary youth, somewhat detached from his peers and preferred to spend his time in the woods. Possibly the only subject he enjoyed being involved with the other youths was his Electro training, which he took to with no small amount of zeal. One day while foraging, he lost track of time and was attempting to pick a particularly rare flower when the Eruption Rain occurred. With no safety in sight, he was swept from Zunisha’s back and into the sea below. When he woke up he was on board a merchant vessel leaving the New World via paddle ship across the Calm Belt. They had no idea where his island was, and having never been off of it, neither did he. With no way of getting him home, they took him with them on their journey. When they arrived at their first stop Zuuro left the ship, not wanting to impose. Instead he was able to find a local doctor with his own clinic who took the Mink on as an apprentice after the youth impressed him with his knowledge of the herbs the doctor was growing. This doctor, Dr. Verigold, was an eccentric sort, and a true curiosity to Zuuro. The human used a secret concoction of chemicals and extracts to functionally change his gender on a daily basis....mostly for recreation as far as the Mink could tell. This behavior was fascinating to Zuuro, but more so the idea that one could use chemicals to manipulate their hormones to such a degree.
He became obsessed with the concept of manipulating ones hormones through science and natural herbs. He spent months musing over the potential of altering ones mind, body chemistry, and even physical traits through experimentation. Zuuro spent years at Verigold’s clinic, acquiring exotic herbs and adding them to the doctors pesonal garden. He experimented, searching for new combinations of ingredients that could expand upon the doctors design, searching for ways to manipulate an individuals hormones to achieve different results. Verigold discovered these experiments, and actually loved his ideas, pushing him to try more and more daring combinations, helping him acquire more rare and powerful ingredients. The doctor would even let Waltor test the experiments on him/her....once they were determined safe that is.
One day though Zuuro came across a very rare and unique form of fruit brought by a trader from the New World. It had truly impressive qualities that Zuuro became obsessed. Too excited to wait, the youth decided to create a variation of his most successful drug....and tested it on himself. Zuuro transformed quickly and painfully, the combinations of chemicals sending him into a strained, uncontrollable state. In his thrashing, he knocked over some experiments starting a fire that would engulf the laboratory wing of Verigold’s clinic within minutes. He passed out to the sound of screams and dreams being burnt away. When he finally awoke, he discovered Verigold next to him in a hospital, dying from severe burns and breathing too much smoke. His master had braved the chemical fire to save Zuuro, and in doing so sacrificed his life. His masters last words would come to define him....her, for the rest of her life.
“Good scientists take risks with ourselves and the willing, never the innocent or unaware. Learn from this. Let it make you....a better doctor. But don’t let it hold you back. My life has been full of wonder and joy when I think of all those I saved. Those I could not, helped me save even more. Live, love, laugh....and defy nature with every wonder you make! Tyahahaha....” Inspired and moved by Verigold’s final words, Zuuro took over her clinic, looking after anyone willing to come to her for help with the same passion and dedication shown by her master.
It was later that Zuuro realized his gender had shifted in an unexpected way. Her special concoction had made the change both permenant and incomplete. And further attempts to dose resulted in no change. He was stuck. Through her further experiments, and sifting through the ashes of her old lab....she discovered something amazing. Her final concoction had survived, preserved miraculously beneath some fallen rubble....but the heat of the fire had caused a chemical change. After months of research and atrempting to recreate the chemical she succeeded. This new formula when consumed did create temporary and profound increase in hormonal fluidity in a subject. However it seemed to be uncontrollable. The individual volunteers could see all manner of side effects depending on their own personal bio chemistry with no way to guide the changes.
Finally becoming frustrated she tested it on herself. And she reached a revelation. The hormonal responses where hyper receptive to electrical current, which her Mink abilities could readily provide. She was right! The changes COULD be guided. The individuals could potentially manipulate the changes with their minds....however it requires more electricity than the subject can produce naturally....and survive artificially.
She however, as a Mink, could channel her Electro internally, directly through her anatomy enough to partially guide the changes. This was incredibly difficult, and dangerous. She subjected herself to years of grueling training and weekly dosing in order to gain even a modicum of functional control over the hormonal changes caused by her drug, which she referred to as GMN-1, or “Gemini”. Eventually she found that she could no longer continue her research without going to the New World. There had to be plants and chemicals and variations of the key ingredients that she could use to perfect Gemini. What’s more she, having come to terms with her transition for the most part, desires to finish the job. She wanted to perfect her drug and make the final step, becoming who she believed she was meant to be.
This required more than just safe passage. Even as she was planning her excursion, and finding people to take over the clinic in her absence, a local marine investigator discovered her research. The agent made her an “offer” to work for the World Government, creating a version of the drug that could be used to empower their marines like a steroid, or create spies that could change their appearance or gender on the fly. He promised a position in the Navy, along with substantial compensation for her efforts. However she had no desire for her work to be used in such ways. She wanted to help free all sapient beings from the confines of their born biology, and push life to the limits of evolution through her work. After promising to take him up on his offer, she took all her research, and left in the night. She would need a ship that could handle the voyage, a crew of strong and compassionate friends who would look after her, and that she could take care of in kind. With everything she knew behind her, she felt herself called forward, driven by the lure of adventure and the unknown ahead. She didn’t know how it would work out, but she had to try. Zerahza had wonders to make.....and nature to defy!
