PERSONALITY: Zara comes across as being very confident, and wields her looks and charm like a weapon. Lying and deceiving tends to come very naturally to her, and she likes when a con runs smoothly- a.k.a. on her terms. She tends to get a little bossy and dislikes not getting her way, but she's adapting to working with a team and knows she has to curb that attitude more often than not. Regardless of how much she might argue, her comrades have become important to her, even if she doesn't outright say so.
FACTS:
- Twin to Dax, she was born six minutes after him to a junkie teen mother who wound up abandoning them at the age of 5. They were left all alone in a shithole house when she went off with her boyfriend and wound up overdosing.
- Scared and living off of what few provisions they had, a couple of thieves on the run broke into the home in hopes of finding a place to stay low. What they didn't know was that the house wasn't abandoned, and found the frightened twins huddled in the closet.
- Despite robbing stores and homes, Will and Lisa still had the hearts to take the twins under their wing. It was hard having to feed two extra mouths, but the couple adapted, and the four eventually became a happy, little family. They were constantly on the run, but the thieves gave Dax and Zara a life they otherwise wouldn't have had. They would have likely died in that house.
- The twins were 16 when the feds finally caught up with them, arresting the Becketts and forcing Zara and her brother into foster care. They were moved from home to home, never separated, until at 18 they took off on their own.
- Having learned the thieving trade from their "parents" (they even legally changed their surname to Beckett), the two improved their methods and went after bigger and wealthier targets. They took classes in self-defense, learned to use light weaponry, and enhanced their skills. Whereas Dax took a more athletic approach, Zara turned to her other "assets" to get a job done.
- When they were 32, Mick Devin approached them in the middle of a theft to offer them a job. They've been with him and his team ever since.
- Always dressed to impress. She loves her skirt suits and sleek, Louboutin heels, but will sometimes dress down on rare occasions.
- When she wears her signature red lipstick, she means business.
- Often wears a lot of rings, but other jewelry is kept simple.
