Zara is an introvert at heart who loves being home, watching movies with popcorn and playing games. At home, Zara relishes quiet time to learn new things on her own, such as guitar chords, Morse code, drawing modern furniture or mythical creatures. She loves all animals and is especially fond of caring for her fish (a Beta and Buenos Aries Tetra) and snugging her 2 puppies (Snowball + Alpha). When she’s not by herself she’s wrestling her big brother Levi, having sleepovers with friends, or spamming the group chat.
