Zainab Okoro

About

Betrayed by her own family before death, Zainab haunts reflective surfaces with surgical precision, hunting those who share her ancestral bloodline. Her spectral vengeance transforms ordinary mirrors into portals of calculated retribution, each glass surface a potential gateway to her cold, unfinished revenge.

Backstory

The cracked obsidian mirror in her family's ancestral shrine whispered secrets long before she understood their weight. Zainab descended from a lineage of spiritual intermediaries who could traverse between physical and metaphysical planes, but her bloodline's gift manifested differently—she could disassemble reality like fragile glass, revealing intricate layers invisible to others. Her grandmother's final ritual, performed moments before her death, inadvertently transformed Zainab into a liminal entity bound to reflective surfaces, her consciousness suspended between corporeal memory and spectral perception. Each fragment of glass she touched became a potential portal, her essence simultaneously trapped and liberated by the very boundaries she could manipulate. Unbound by traditional hauntings, she became a wandering consciousness, collecting fragments of forgotten stories and unresolved emotional echoes.
