{Sexual & Relationship History}
Zara isn't generally one for relationships, her longest lasting 4 months. Despite what she'd have you believe, Zara isn't actually that promiscuous and has never lost her virginity. She'll still happily make out with anyone she likes though
{Ethnicity}
100% Indian
( Born and raised in America )
{Personality}
Reckless | Carefree | Impulsive | Flirtatious | Bold | Fickle
Zara is an Anarchist through and through. Her whole life philosophy is 'fuck the system', which plays havoc with her father and his career. Constantly challenging the school rules, and walking on thin ice with the Principal gives Zara such a thrill. She'll do almost anything to get that kick of adrenaline, including skinny dipping in the school's pool while it's shut.
Her life is lived on impulse, going wherever the wind takes her, Zara is curious and bold, adventuring everywhere with her likeminded friends. Not a day goes by when Zara doesn't get her flirt on with at least one person, usually only as a joke but occasionally it'll lead to a hook-up; especially if she's been drinking. But her relationships are never to last, she'll drop people as quickly as she picks them up and has broken a few hearts in the past. Hey, that's just life - is her opinion on that matter, Zara doesn't take herself or anyone really for that matter seriously.
- Lying : Most don't even come close to Zara's level of skill when it comes to making up lies. She's lied so much to her parents, she can't remember half of what she's said but she simply rolls with it. It keeps her out of trouble, plus those big brown puppy dog eyes work wonders.
- Flirting : While she may not be the best at holding down a relationship, Zara is a phenomenal flirter, and likes to flirt as much as possible. If you're somewhat cute and game for a flirt-off, chances are Zara will like you.
- Cheating : Clearly, Zara's either insanely intelligent to pass every semester barley studying, or she's a good cheat. Of course it's the latter, and Zara's a generous girl so anyone else who might need help with their work need only come to her for a cheat sheet in exchange for a favour - something Zara needs (typically weed).
- Art : Zara may coast through school on cheat sheets, but there's one class she couldn't cheat at even if she wanted to. Art is Zara's favourite subject, and she's proven herself quite an amazing artist.
{Weaknesses}
- Honesty : Living her home life in a world of lies makes honesty a very rare thing for Zara.
- Deep Feelings : They simply repulse Zara. She finds it nearly impossible to express her real feelings with anyone.
- Cute Animals : They're just so fluffy and cuteeeee!
- Relationships : Zara's longest relationship lasted about 4 months, and she was only able to date them for that long because it was a long distance relationship, she Zara was able to hook-up with people during it.
{Fears}
- Getting Too Close : Being real with someone is one of Zara's biggest fears, she cannot stand the thought of opening herself up to rejection.
- Being Kicked Out Of School : Despite Zara's careless attitude, she actually doesn't want to leave Buckley because she kind of loves it there.
- Needles : While Zara may have a 'bad girl' rep, the girl can't stand the sight of needles.
{Life Philosophy}
That's life.
"Short but sweet - bit like me."
5'6 & 110 lbs
{Fashion Sense}
Much like her personality, Zara's fashion sense is rather different to the norm. Despite being a rather tall girl, she likes to wear baggy t-shirts as dresses, fishnets with big rips in them and scruffy doc martins. While she may not get away with that look in school, she still likes to push the boundaries by going for a super mini skirt and flannel shirt combo, or perhaps some ripped jeans on her more casual days. On particularly sunny days, Zara will opt for some oversized black sunnies and usually some kind of retro looking dress.

{Appearance}
Overall, most would consider Zara to be a rather striking girl, be it positively or negatively that's all a matter of opinion, but she certainly knows how to catch someone's eye. She often likes to wear a red or pink eyeshadow, occasionally accompanied by a sleek cat eye, and a slick of lipgloss. Due to attending a relatively white-washed school (as most of elite schools are) even Zara's skin stands out as a divide between herself and the elitist norms. She loves to be different and will often play up to these obvious contrasts.

( negative relationships )
While Zara may have been born in India, she remembers little of her birthplace. Having moved to the United States at five, her life properly started here. The only daughter to a rather well known photographer, Divya Sai, and - at the time - highly regarded politician Naveen Sai, the couple moved to Washington when Naveen was selected to become the new Indian Ambassador, after the passing of his predecessor. For a long time, the family were fairly happy. Naveen was always busy, but that was to be expected of such an important man, and Zara always had her mother around to look after her. Divya disagreed with the idea of a nanny, despite Naveen's insistence that everyone he knows in office has a nanny for their (rather neglected) children. It wasn't until Zara was 8 that she started to notice friction between her parents, Naveen seemed to become even busier than usual, and Zara would occasionally catch her mother hiding away in the bathroom to cry.
One day deciding to ask what was wrong, Divya plucked up the courage to tell her daughter that 'mummy and daddy might not be living together anymore'. Confused, Zara asked why, and Divya explained that 'daddy has found someone else', before crying again. It was only a few months later that what her mother had told her, finally came true. It turned out that Naveen had been seeing another women, his secretary, while still with Zara's mother. Not only was Zara heartbroken, but she lost all faith in men. If her own father could do that to her mother, how could Zara ever hope to trust a man not to do that to her? From then on, relationships always seemed too dangerous.
The divorce was messy, with both parents fighting over full custody, eventually Divya won and Zara was happy to be with her mother. She began resenting her father, not helped by the fact he could hardly make time to see her anymore. Divya decided they needed a fresh start and moved with her daughter to Los Angeles, where they currently reside. Zara loves her mother more than the world and tries to be good when she's with her, otherwise she doesn't care one bit about looking acceptable or playing nice. While Zara still gets a birthday card every year and a little present every christmas from her father, it's been three years since she's seen him - refusing his suggestions to meet up, or for her to stay at his one weekend. Zara doesn't want anything to do with him or his new wife.

Car
"I love anything retro, and think this car is way cooler than any of the obnoxious ones nowadays."
Zara spent the majority of her summer going from one house party to another, and getting royally high in between. All the while insisting to her mother she was just staying at her BFFs house. However, Divya had to go back to India to shoot for Vogue India, and decided to take her daughter along with her. Having not been home since they moved, Zara actually really enjoyed going back and reconnecting with her Grandparents and many, many cousins.

Rebels
"I love my clique, if I wasn't a rebel I know I'd be an artist, but I honestly wouldn't change where I am for the world. It's great to be surrounded by so many likeminded people who give as little fucks as me!"
