  • Looks 
This is a female chaosborn with glowing white skin, auburn hair, and rainbow eyes.  She is
known as Zhara famed for her pioneering of crystalline and chaotic magicks in her research for the
Courts of Chaos.  She was known to explore the Exoma often; however, she never returned from her
most recent expedition. She is permeated by a haze of surging radiance, a blue-white radiance, a
vivid, pulsing chaotic glow, a thick shadow, a shimmering radiance, a silvery light, a sparkling
light, lightning, and glinting pattern.  She has a few thin wisps of wavering iridescence within
and around her.
  • Info

hand, right leg, left leg, right foot, and left foot.  Zhara is an instructor and responds to the
