Personality


Zafina is a woman with a cold front but a soft heart. Her nickname Ice Queen rings true because she is a severe person with a regal and commanding presence where she is harsh with her peers and coldly merciless to her enemies, often employing a justice-based schadenfreude as well. Sharp-tongued and highly combative, Zafina is no stranger to furious chastisements, especially toward those who fail to live up to her high standards and expectations. As such, she has no tolerance at all for weakness, lack of willpower, and toxic behavior, fostering great distaste for her rich contemporaries whom she views as spoiled brats who are privileged and have never suffered a day in their lives. Zafina has a strong work ethic to the point of being a workaholic and wants to get ahead in life based on her own talents instead of connections or money.
 
One would think that Zafina is judgmental and stuck-up from the way she carries herself but that's far from the truth. She's actually quite expansive and down-to-earth but you have to break through her ice wall in order to see it. Zafina's biggest issue is trust which is the primary reason for why she acts the way she does. She has a lot of pain and trauma that runs incredibly deep and she has become quite bitter and resentful of life, convinced that there isn't really anyone who actually cares about her or who she can trust in hence why she is a loner.

Zafina actually struggles with low self-esteem and self-worth and hides herself away from the world because she doesn't think she amounts to anything and is insignificant. But little does Zafina know, she has much to offer the world and is quite talented and wise. This is where her soft heart comes in. For the people who are lucky enough to get past her cold exterior, they see Zafina's hidden talents and interests as well as how kind and understanding she truly is. Zafina will often uplift her loved ones and give them advice on how to better themselves and their lives, her criticism being brusque and she uses a tough love approach which only amplifies it. But Zafina only acts this way because she wants her loved ones to be the best versions of themselves and she wants to place them on the most direct path forward.

Unbeknownst to most people, Zafina actually does have an expressive and even wild side that she's kept hidden away for years because of her jaded view on people. When around people that she trusts completely, Zafina starts to show more emotion and will even become physically and verbally affectionate towards them. Her true colors start to show and she shines like the rainbow she is when she's in good company. Zafina has much to offer the world but she has to come out of her ice cold shell in order to rise to her true potential.

Past: Being the youngest of 8 children, Zafina was born into a military household that was filled with love, privilege, and chaos. There were many fun times in the Cartwright residence and Zafina had a happy early childhood, moving around quite often because of her parents' military careers. But when it came to school, things weren't so great. From the age of 12, Zafina was bullied and harassed to the point where she completely shut down and tried to commit suicide when she was 14 but was found by her older sister Beth just in time. The bullying was due to students being jealous of Zafina's talents involving music and because Zafina showed various symptoms of having Type 1 diabetes.

Zafina was evaluated and diagnosed with clinical depression for which she promptly began to get treatment and was put on medication as well to combat it. Recognizing Zafina's talent for music, her parents decided to send her to Blackwell Academy along with her twin sister Zuri to hone her skills and because of how prestigious it was. Zafina quickly gained a reputation as the Ice Queen of Blackwell and had difficulty making friends despite her talents clearly shining through. But Zafina did manage to become friendly with a few students from various cliques, including the Vortex Club.

Now that Zafina's a senior, she's one step closer to achieving her dreams but she still has difficulty maintaining her friendships and relationships due to her cold and closed-off nature.
