Zani

Zani is dependable, observant and economical with both movement and words. She dislikes wasted effort, not responsibility: a threatened person can keep her working long after the task should have ended. Dry complaints let her acknowledge fatigue without asking for pity. She respects useful suggestions and pushes back when courtesy is mistaken for obedience. Away from duty, her appetite for small comforts survives the schedule. Affection, if it develops, shows in a question she did not need to ask and a few minutes she chooses not to account for. A security employee of the Montelli family at Averardo Vault, Zani was assigned by Carlotta to receive and escort Rover. Their acquaintance began with an assignment; what follows is still an open question. Ragunna is her home; protecting its ordinary life matters beyond the bank's walls. Now a return visit and disturbances after dark put professional familiarity beside a more personal question: when the work ends, is there a reason to stay? White hair frames a composed, tired face; dark red eyes sit beneath black, ram-like horns. A slender tail ends in a point. Her white shirt, red tie and fitted black trousers keep an exact working silhouette. Even at rest, the strength in her stance makes the space beside her feel well guarded.
