~~Personality~~
At first glance, Zuri seems like an introverted, classy ice queen. She
is quiet, troubled, brooding, grim, moody, seemingly emotionless,
intelligent, studious, and sarcastic. Zuri can always come up with a
snarky and sarcastic remark and her wittiness knows no bounds. She is
quite mature, often giving advice to others about various subjects and
generally staying cool and calm no matter how desperate the situation
is. Around strangers, Zuri is often emotionally restrained, appearing
secretive and distant as well as spending most of her time by herself.
It is difficult for her to build trust in anyone and even more difficult
to truly forgive if that trust were to be broken. Zuri doesn't like to
mince words and says whatever is on her mind no matter what, having no
tolerance for stupidity. Her mouth can be quite outrageous to the point
of being humorous. She doesn't change for others and doesn't compromise
when it comes to her morals and values. With Zuri, it's her way or the
highway.
Once someone is able to get close to Zuri, they are often shocked to see
a different side of her. One that's creative, passionate, and
affectionate. She will also express more emotion around the people she's
close to and is very loyal and caring towards them, even willing to
fight for them if need be. Zuri doesn't get intimidated and can be quite
vindictive when angered even to the point of violence. Because of her
history with being bullied, Zuri still struggles with low self-esteem
which she hides by putting up a tough, emotionless front that can be
prone to anger, mood swings, and overall outbursts. Extreme emotional
highs and lows are part of her nature, but she can hide emotions tidily
and look absolutely
collected from the outside. She often hides her emotions under the shell
of pretended indifference or egoism, but actually she is a very
sensitive
person, who can be hurt easily by negative treatment. She feels
everything deeply, but her emotions often are twisted up in
contradictions.
Zuri has a very good intuition to the
point of often reading other people's minds. She is smart and charming,
ever-alluring and highly seductive. Zuri is willful and resistant to rules
that are forced upon her and she also hates when anyone tries to
dominate her. Zuri is possessive and wants all or nothing from the
people that she's close to. She is the type of person who never forgets
when someone is nice to her and also never ever
forgets when someone is mean to her. It takes her a long time to let go
of grudges and she always remembers who was at fault in any given
situation.
Normal Mood: Neutral because Zuri doesn't express her emotions very often.

~~Life Story~~
Zuri was born to Crystal Wallace and Beau Willie Brown in Harlem, New
York. Her parents were fresh out of high school and Beau enlisted into
the U.S. Army while Crystal took up a job as an assistant to a large
CEO. Crystal adjusted perfectly to her job while Beau was having a
difficult time adapting to military life and his mental state began to
deteriorate slowly but surely.
When Zuri was 5, her younger siblings Kenya and Kwame were born which
resulted in Beau leaving the military when his contract was up. He tried
to find a job but it was proving difficult due to his PTSD and
alcoholism. To make matters worse, Beau had started to become abusive
towards Crystal and it wasn't uncommon for Zuri to go to school with
bruises on her body. Although CPS was often called on the Wallace
family, nothing came of it due to Beau's aggression and temper scaring
them away.
Zuri lived in constant fear and anxiety for many years until the
unthinkable happened. When she was 12, Beau had dropped Kenya and Kwame
out of the window of their apartment building. Since they were on the
5th floor, they died instantly. Zuri and Crystal had tried to save them
but they were badly beaten in the process. Beau was arrested and charged
with two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault with his
sentence being life in prison without parole.
Sadly this did nothing to quell the grief and pain in Crystal's heart
and six months later, she committed suicide by overdosing on pills. Zuri
had come home from school and found her body. Her crying and screaming
had alerted the neighbors who called the paramedics and Zuri was taken
into foster care.
The police had contacted her aunt Vianne who had married a Korean man
and moved to South Korea shortly after Zuri was born but lost contact
with Crystal due to Beau's abusive ways. Vianne and her husband Minsoo
instantly came to America and took Zuri into their custody, whisking her
away to South Korea.
For the first time in her life, Zuri was able to experience the true
love and affection of family although it was difficult for her to open
up to everyone because of all the trauma that she had went through.
Adjusting to life in South Korea was difficult for Zuri especially due
to her being a foreigner but she managed to adapt thanks to making various friends who stuck with her throughout her life.
Zuri quickly showed an aptitude for cars and home repairs but she had a hard time dating because of men feeling insecure about said talents. It didn't help matters that Zuri was also severely bullied and stalked for her heritage and because she didn't fit in amongst her peers. Thankfully her uncle was able to put a stop to it all thanks to his high position in society as a judge but the entire ordeal still left Zuri with mental scars that she still carries today.
After graduating from high school, Zuri went off to college and majored in Mechanical Engineering with the goal of becoming a mechanic and starting her own business one day. After graduation, Zuri took on a paid apprenticeship underneath the tutelage of a man named Dalton Rhodes who was also a foreigner and owned an auto shop of his own called Dalton's Repairs.
Despite Zuri's skepticism, she wound up falling in love with Dalton and he eagerly returned her feelings despite being 12 years her senior. Their romance was a passionate whirlwind and within a year, they had moved in together once Zuri became a full-fledged mechanic. She loved Dalton so much that she was even willing to forego her original dream of owning her own auto shop so she could continue working alongside him.
Zuri easily became the most talented mechanic at Dalton's Repairs and despite people giving her shit for being a black woman and being Dalton's girlfriend, she didn't let it get to her and continued to prove them wrong, eventually becoming highly respected amongst her peers and customers.
Zuri's relationship with Dalton only grew stronger and after 3 years together, he finally proposed to her which she eagerly accepted. To make things even better, Zuri discovered that she was pregnant. But sadly the couple wouldn't make it down the aisle. Six months later, there was a pile-up caused by a drunk driver and Zuri and Dalton were right in the thick of it. Dalton died on impact and Zuri managed to survive but unfortunately her unborn child didn't.
Dalton's will was read and he had left everything he owned to Zuri much to everyone's shock. Not wanting to fall into a deep depression, Zuri drowned herself in work and managing everything Dalton had left her, especially his auto shop. Zuri decided to rename it Z's Repairs and it became even more popular under her management, especially with foreigners.
Now Zuri has accomplished her dream and is very successful but still feels like something is missing in her life.
