She WAS an ordinary girl, or she seemed to be. She had her friends, she had her family, she had a normal enough life for any girl on her planet. Her hair was an odd shade, but everyone assumed that was just some result of her diet, an allergy or something. Hair the color of rust isn't that uncommon, though, unless your whole town is either blond or brunette, even if it does turn that color as you turn 12. Still, nothing to worry about, or she didn't think so. But then she turned 18, and things started changing more. She was fortunate, or so she thought, to never have to worry about zits and other blemishes.... but then she got something that trumped even zits!
Freaking SCALES! On her SKIN! Part of her, even! Growing out of her! Green and gold and silver, coming OUT of her SKIN on her BACK and ARMS and LEGS! The first one was worrying. The next few hundred showed up overnight, and she freaked right the hell out. Can you blame her though?
The doctors were baffled. They'd NEVER seen anything like this! They simply didn't understand it, and so Zayla was quarantined for study. Blood tests turned up nothing unusual other than higher than average levels of certain elements... copper, gold, silver, and a few others, in particular... mostly metals. However, she didn't have any disease, and she wasn't infectious in any way, shape or form, so they couldn't hold her. She was let go, but her life as she knew it was over. Rumors had started up in the year it took for them to learn all they could. NASTY rumors.
Her friends had deserted her. Her family had all but forgotten her. Her classmates shunned her. By this time, though, she was sick of it. A year all on her own was enough to change her mindset. SHE was different, too... at least in her feelings of those she had known. She'd saved up money for a few years beforehand, working some fairly unpleasant jobs that whole time to pay for college. Instead of college, though, she got the fuck out of there, hopping aboard the first ship with a chunk of her cash and saving the rest for later. She didn't even check to see what the destination was.... she could be ANYWHERE by now.
5'7, with long, rust-colored hair that comes down to just below her shoulderblades, Zayla has a nice, coppery skin tone to go with that rusty hair. Her eyes are green, now, with fleck of silver in them, and her scales have spread only a little since the first. They're almost entirely hidden, though she has some on her hands, prompting her to wear gloves at all times. Gloves, and stockings if she wears a skirt. It makes her look a bit odd, perhaps, but she doesn't mind much.
Other perks? There aren't any, really. At least, not so far as she knows. However, she seems to have developed something very like pica, with regards to precious metals of all sorts. Keep your rings around your fingers folks! She can't help it, though. Sometimes, she looks at humans that way, but she doesn't understand that urge. It's not like she can act upon it, after all. Right?
Zayla is meant to be an evolving character. She's meant to get a lot of roleplay with interaction and vore and many other things. After certain criteria are met, well... you'll see. You could encounter her ANYWHERE, too.
