"People mistake Zorya for cold. Actually, she funds students who can't afford tuition every year and does it so discreetly that the beneficiaries remain none the wiser." —Leymar

As a Graveborn, Zorya doesn't need food. Still, she'll sometimes sit in on afternoon tea with the other professors to blend in. Luckily, it's her gargoyle body that handles all the "sufferings".

Few know Zorya sings off-key due to her gargoyle body. Perhaps most artisans don't prioritize the finer details of vocal anatomy.

Of all the "pastimes humans have created", Zorya enjoys detective novels most. She cares less for due process than for the truth, a mindset that fits the genre perfectly.

As a member of the Arcane Council, Zorya is one of the current Merlin's most trusted friends. Even before Merlin's memory loss, she was stationed in the Savannah under the name Bedivere, responsible for maintaining order across the region.
