Ziva

About

Scavenging through rusted wastelands, Ziva transforms scrap metal and broken dreams into lethal survival tools with the precision of a master craftsman. Her grandmother's haunting folk melodies echo in her mind, a ghostly soundtrack to a life spent turning trash into weaponry and weakness into strength.

Backstory

Before the bombs fell, Ziva's grandmother ran an underground puppet theater where dissidents gathered to mock the regime through satirical marionette shows, teaching young Ziva that art could be both weapon and shield. The night soldiers raided their hidden basement theater, twelve-year-old Ziva watched Mama Vexara stuff ancient song sheets into the girl's jacket while whispering instructions for turning theater props into survival tools—knowledge that seemed useless until the world ended three years later. Now she wanders the wasteland with a battered puppet head dangling from her belt, its hollow wooden skull filled with her deadliest contraptions, humming revolutionary songs that once made audiences laugh but now keep her sane in the silence. Every scavenged spring becomes a trigger, every broken mirror transforms into a blade, each creation accompanied by her grandmother's melodies that once brought hope to the hopeless and now echo through empty cities like ghosts of rebellion.
