Physical Characteristics
Appearance:
Zikariss is usually described as an attractive and curious being not only for her looks but for the mysterious and foreign feeling she generates. Standing at a hundred and seventy-two centimeters height and weighting a mere forty-six kilograms, it is clear that she has a very light weight when compared to her statue. However, her lithe body still possesses an athletic build and most of those forty six kilograms are composed of lean, powerful muscle meaning that her small weight doesn't sacrifice her strength as much as it enhances her speed. To further remark this aspect of her specie, she subjects herself to rigorous training.
She has a fair complexion. Her skin is smooth, soft and clear. It is often cool to the touch instead of warm and might adopt darker shades if exposed to the sunlight for long periods of time, though this is not so common. She displays an array of small scars, scattered all throughout her body. Most of them are the result of minor injuries sustained during her hunts or while training. They are quite difficult to spot by the unobservant eye for they have healed quite well.
Zikariss' hair is long and very straight. It reaches her lower back and it is most of the time let down or up in a ponytail or a not-so tidy bun. It displays a dark brown pigmentation, a color that is not so oftently seen in the females of her specie but that has always been a recurrent characteristic in the females of her family. It creates great contrast when compared against her upturned eyes. These take a very, very light tone of sky blue for a color and have quite a mesmerizing gaze.
At first sight most wouldn't know the difference between Zikariss and a human but there is one that immediately belies the assumption and it is seen clearly whenever the girl smiles. As every member of her specie, Zikariss possesses two pairs of canine teeth in her upper jaw (instead of just one) and another one in her lower one. This makes for a total of six canines instead of four and all of them are sharper and slightly more prominent than those of a human.

Behavior
Most people don't know how to describe Zikariss' personality and the reason behind it is simple; there is only one word that describes her fully all of the time: unpredictable. The girl is a box full of surprises. She at first dislikes everyone she doesn't know and this is simply because she is naturally mistrustful. First impressions will most surely make or break a relationship with her. Zikariss often decides whether she likes or continues disliking a person upon minutes of meeting them. She is volatile and her reactions, both positive and negative, can be easily triggered by the simplest of actions. This makes others feel like they need to tiptoe around her, waiting for the next sudden change of events.
This is until one gets to meet her or at least start to understand what will trigger her hot buttons. When she feels more comfortable around someone Zikariss proves to be quite a charismatic person. She is outspoken, capable and sure of herself. She doesn't have any problem in letting someone know she doesn't like him and is not afraid of speaking her mind. Courage and a sharp tongue have always been good allies of hers. She might be very brave and courageous but she is not reckless or stupid. Much on the contrary, she has always been quite an intelligent girl and outsmarting her is certainly a feat to achieve.
Zikariss is independent and self-sufficient, she knows how to take care of herself and even of others. But something many people fail to notice is that she has a deep desire for stability and company. In other words, she hates being alone and she hates hating it. She is determined and stubborn as hell. Getting an idea to go through her when she truly believes something else is...exhausting to say the least. She is a quick learner and quick-witted.
Zikariss is fiercely loyal. Trustworthiness, secrecy and above all, a protective nature have always been great characteristics of hers. She is certainly a better ally than an enemy, but not only because how unforgiving and sadistic she is as an enemy. She is more than willing to lay down her life for those who stand beside her.
Curiosities:
~ Zikariss cannot stand being touched in any way by people she doesn't trust in quite a deep manner. This is a trait of her specie. It disturbes her in a very intense way.
~ She has a soft spot for everyone who does not have a will to fight.
~ She can't be alone but she hates strangers. This two make up for quite a conflicted Mahanaim who both wants be left to herself but seeks the company of people.
Abilities
★★★★★★
{Initiate ~ Adept ~ Proficient ~ Skilled ~ Mastered ~ Specialist}
Combat Oriented Skills
Marksmanship ~ ★★★★
Zikariss' naturally great eyesight and the training she went through during most of her life had made her an incredible sniper and shooter. Her aim with blasters and similar pistols is excellent but she excels with rifles and at very long distances. This is the reason why she will most oftenly choose close range combat if she cannot act as a sniper.
Close Quarters Combat ~ ★★★★
As every Mahanaim, Zikariss was instructed and expected to be able to defend herself and defeat an opponent both unarmed and with melee weapons. She was also taught basic anatomy of most humanoid species.
Aniokh: Aniokh is a martial art created, developed and used by the Mahanaim. It is a very destructive way of combat whose main objectives are to either disable or kill the opponent. In the later years, tactics to disarm the opponent have also been incorporated to the skill. Aniokh is designed to make the best out of the Mahanaim's natural strengths but anyone can learn it. It seeks to disable the opponent by damaging joints, bones and tendons but, if such harm is not meant to be inflicted in the other combatant, pressure points and nerve pinches are employed.
Melee weapons usage ~ ★★★
She was also taught to wield an array of bladed weapons such as swords, daggers and diverse types of knives. The Mahanaim are known for their fondness of vibroblades. Zikariss has a chosen few she prefers above the rest but is fairly skilled with almost any sharp-edged object.

History
Zikariss was born and raised in the far away planet of Mahan, home world to her species: the Mahanaim. Zikariss' father was the patriarch of their tribe, one of the most influential ones in all of Mahan. She had an older brother, named Lucan whom she loved very deeply. He was only two years older than herself and so soon enough both were trained together. They were each other's shadow and, in their younger years before both of them developed, were so similar people would often confuse them with each other.
Zikariss soon made a name for herself inside the tribe, even as a child. She was skilled, hard-working and naturally talented. Her brother was, too, but he seemed to have other interests. He dreamed of leaving Mahan and exploring the Galaxy and had always wanted to do so with the company of her sister, but she refused. Zikariss lived and breathed Mahan, she loved her tribe and felt a need to be the best she could be for them. At the tender age of thirteen she had already passed the combat trials, meaning her training as a child was complete and joined the adults in the harder tasks of the every day life. She became a hunter.
Lucan, on the other hand, kept on dreaming about leaving and as time passed he started turning that dream into a fact. He interacted with the beings that came to visit Mahan, learnt how to pilot a ship, basic engineering of them...Zikariss at first thought it was fun. She had never contemplated the fact that he was really going to leave their planet. He even taught her how to pilot and some other things he had learnt from the foreigners. And when they were nineteen realization hit down on Zikariss like a gigantic boulder dropped on her from many meters height.
Lucan told her he was leaving. Angered and with the feeling of betrayal deep within her she ran into the dangerous jungles of Mahan, infested with predators and other hazardous life forms. She hunted until exhaustion and then remained in deep within the depths of the wild, spending a very long and dark night in absolute solitude. The next morning she returned to her tribe only to see confusion and despair.
People had gone missing.
Her father, her brother...gone. The tribe that had once proudly counted up to a hundred and more members was reduced to twenty over the night. And notice soon came that every tribe had lost members. Even the Auzuhir, the biggest authority in Mahan had vanished. For many months she remained in Mahan, helping her tribe, hoping everyone would reappear just as they had gone. But she somehow knew this would not happen.
She missed her brother deeply. And so, having nothing left on Mahan than broken hearts and painful memories, she decided to fulfill her brother's dream and departed, venturing into the unknown places of the Galaxy.
