Zuri Sabah

Female, age 18

Hair - black; Eyes - reddish-brown; Skin Tone - dark brown

Preferred Clothing - robes and long dresses, but will not put on a headscarf as she's a non-believer in her mother's religion. She likes silks and cottons equally, and loves a single color against either black or white.

Specialties - Charms and flashy spells which are aided by her own pyrokinetics. Zuri adeptly incorporates her wand use with performances and music, not quite like a conductor's baton, but very close.

Weaknesses - though she's not truly of the Muslim faith, she holds very strong beliefs based upon them, and still has a hard time dealing with any Dark Arts. However she does feel the need to report any and all use of them around her, even if that need is based more on supernatural fear than a sense of duty.

Wand -
Length: average, 12.5 inches
Wood: Pine (life)
Core: Gryphon Mane hair (environmental protection)

Familiar - See below

Dragon - none yet

Unusual Studies - Zuri is a natural pyrokinetic, meaning she can produce or manipulate fires at will, without using any spellcasting. This power appeared before she was sent to Domina, and is part of the reason why she knows consciously that magic and religion are not the same thing. She can produce shapes, very bright light, or even 'cool fire' which can be touched and not harm anyone. She's gotten quite good with those.

Zuri was vain, but then she knew she deserved to be. She'd gotten a late start in her magical schooling, so she was a year older than many in her class. But she studied as hard as any, got terrific grades on her mundane classes as well as her magical ones, and eventually passed her OWLS and NEWTS with flying colors. Her father was proud of her too - but her mother would always remain stand-offish and quiet around her magical daughter. Mistrustful of such things, her mother refused to visit House Domina on open days, even if her father was happy to come and see the place. She'd probably flip out, they decided, if she knew that House Domina also was a dragonry of sorts... They had the typical selection of magical animals on hand: unicorns in the forest, some kind of monster in the lake nearby, ghosts aplenty. But they also had dragons that were unearthly in nature, and some even able to perform the same kinds of magic as the Wizards could. Though Zuri did want to find a dragon, it wasn't necessarily to fly on. She wanted to be able to perform safely, so maybe there was some kind of creature that could serve as a familiar, rather than a mount. She'd want one of those too, perhaps, but not just yet. For now, she was content to listen to the dragon-riders tales of this location or that place... Waiting to hear about one in particular. Holic was it's name, and though it had sustained some "interesting" times, it was open for business once more. Zuri watched through one of the instructors' scrying mirrors, as they tuned in on what might be in store there. Zuri was startled to see gorgeous cat-fox-ish creatures staring right back at her. "Those," she said, "what are those?" "Those are Zalor," Professor el-Din said. "They're so very pretty, but I've got my hands full with my own fluffballs already." One of those fluffballs lept from the rafter to his shoulder, gnawed on his hair, and scampered away again. Zuri however couldn't take her eyes off the elegant, smoothly moving animals in her view. "I have to go there," she said, confidently. "Then we shall take you there," Photha replied with a smile. Zuri knew he was attracted to her, but then...who wasn't. And, who wasn't he attracted to! Shortly, Zuri was packed up and ready, and they moved through one of Professor Kalkin's portals. It took less than an hour for Zuri to root out two extremely beautiful Zalor to come home with her. *** Baridi and Kali were named for the cold and the heat - and they lived up to their names. What Kali could do beyond that wave of warmth was patrol the edges of any given area unseen, or practically so. Baridi was good for cooling things down if the pyrokinetics or spells got out of hand, landing a gentle rain over the nearby area. And though he grew to the size of a horse, Zuri couldn't even imagine riding him - he was just too sleek and delicate, in her eyes, and she wasn't sure how best to ride anything - in a dress!
