zahra is a very social person who thrives off of communication and having plenty of friends. she loves being around people, and it's no wonder why she's longing for a romantic relationship. the problem is, her expectations are always too high. for anything really, but this especially. which means endless complaining about that fact too. how much she wants to find the perfect guy but the ones she dates just aren't kind enough, or tall, or just don't fit the long checklist she's created. when she's not talking about her unlucky love life, she's a very fun person to be around. a little overdramatic sometimes, but her ideas are always exciting even if they don't quite work out. zahra wants to get the most out of life and puts a lot of effort into everything she does. she's also the kind of girl who isn't always paying attention, there's a lot on her mind, and that's why she's such a chatterbox. but she tries her best, and really, that's all one can ask.

zahra grew up in a relatively quiet suburb, which left her always seeking more. she took up plenty of extra activties at school and found clubs outside of school to join also, so she had things to do. now though, she has no clear direction on what she wants to do. everything sounds pretty fun, and there are so many little details that stop her from picking something. zahra also grew up knowing she wanted to find the perfect guy, or at least that she should want to. she's dated a few but they've never met her standards, and it's never felt right. she just can't figure out why.
