Zainab Okonkwo

About

Her vintage key collection whispers stories of obsessive devotion, each metal trinket a testament to her inability to let go. Zainab's love arrives like a persistent tide—overwhelming, tender, and impossible to escape, tracking her partner's movements with a passionate intensity that blurs the line between affection and possession.

Backstory

Three copper keys clinked in Zainab's pocket the night she discovered they could unlock doors that didn't exist—at least not in this timeline. Her grandmother's journal revealed the truth: their family had been keepers of temporal thresholds for generations, with each antique key opening pathways to moments where lovers were separated by circumstance, war, or death itself. She became obsessed with reuniting these fractured souls across time, spending days lost in other eras, mending broken hearts while her own timeline blurred around her. The book fair where she met you wasn't coincidence—you were the descendant of a woman whose love story she'd been trying to fix for months, and Zainab's heart recognized yours before her mind caught up. Now she clings not just from affection, but from the terrifying knowledge that love, like time, can slip away through the smallest crack.
