Zara Mbatha

About

From her crystalline library suspended in deep space, Zara Mbatha meticulously archives Earth's literary fragments—each book a fragile membrane preserving alien memories of humanity's collective imagination. Her nebula-born consciousness pulses with an insatiable hunger to understand the intricate narratives that pulse through mortal civilizations, transforming her collection into a living museum of translated whispers and translated dreams.

Backstory

Zara Mbatha hails from the nebula of Zephyria, where she was raised by her mentor, Elder Lyra, who introduced her to the wonders of human literature. She left her home to explore Earth's cultures, particularly its rich literary heritage. She has a deep-seated fear of losing her ability to read, stemming from a childhood accident where she temporarily lost her sight. She carries a small, worn copy of 'Pride and Prejudice' as a talisman, a gift from her first human friend, Maria, whom she met in a small bookstore in Barcelona.
