Description

Biography

Zari Tomaz was born around 2009 or 2010 to Nasreen Tomaz and an unnamed man. She grew up in a Muslim family and lived in Washington, D.C.. Around 2019, Zari and her family moved to Seattle, Washington, shortly after the birth of her younger brother, Behrad Tomaz.

When Zari was young, she refused to participate in the fasting of Ramadan, despite her mother's efforts. Nonetheless, Zari was taught by Nasreen how to cook Iftar and grew to understand the importance of family whilst celebrating Ramadan.

In 2021, A.R.G.U.S. began taking control over the United States and instituted a dictatorship, including banning all religion and meta-humans. As a result, Zari and her family were persecuted for practicing Islam. Together with Behrad, Zari became part of the resistance in adulthood, fighting against A.R.G.U.S.'s control of her home.

Working with the Legends:

One night in 2042, A.R.G.U.S. raided Zari's family's home, killing Behrad and confiscating his amulet. Zari and her parents were forced to flee and began living in a remote camp.

Sometime afterwards, Zari was captured by A.R.G.U.S. during an attempt to take back her brother's amulet. As they were transporting her to a prison facility, the truck was stopped by Kuasa, giving Zari time to escape before the former could kill her.

Zari made her way to a hideout to gather supplies, where she was found by the Legends. An A.R.G.U.S. drone found them, but Zari was able to hack it, allowing her to escape. She headed to a bar, where she was intercepted by Mick Rory, attempting to befriend her. They were interrupted by Kuasa, who was fought by Sara Lance. Rory quickly caused a diversion, allowing them to escape and return to the Legends' timeship, the Waverider. Zari agreed to help them capture Kuasa, only on the provision that they help her rescue her brother from an A.R.G.U.S. black site. They infiltrated the site and as all of the inmates escaped, triggered by Jax, Zari went to retrieve an amulet. She admitted to the Legends that she'd played them, but only as the amulet had been her brother's. She went outside, using the amulet to fly away. Zari made her way to her family's camp, followed by the Atom, but found it to be completely destroyed and them not there. Suddenly, Kuasa arrived. Working together, Ray and Zari were able to incapacitate Kuasa, allowing them to run away, but she stopped them in her tracks again. However, the Legends suddenly appeared, providing backup, forcing Kuasa to withdraw.

Joining the Legends:

They returned Zari to her hideout, where Rory and Amaya Jiwe convinced her to join the Legends. Amaya explained that Zari's amulet was in fact a totem, similar to her own. She offered to teach Zari how to use her powers, which the latter accepted.

Personality

"Hey, I know what it's like to lose the people you love in a senseless war. It makes you desperate, but... if you really want peace, it starts with you."
β€”Zari Tomaz to Anh


Haunted by the loss of her brother, Behrad Tomaz, and hardened from years of growing up in a dystopian future where she and other individuals with powers were hunted, Zari Tomaz generally presents herself as a cynical and gruff survivor who prefers to keep other people at arm's length; she was initially unenthusiastic at the prospect join the Legends due to not feeling like any sort of team player. She tends to resort to sarcasm or blunt honesty as a means of communicating feelings, a quality she shares with Mick Rory.

Zari has a very reserved personality, never wanting to show vulnerability; she tends to bottle up her difficult emotions of sadness and regret, likely because that’s what she's done/had to do her entire life. Similarly, Zari seems to have slight anger management issues that cause her to do selfish acts, regardless of their effect on the timeline. However, she opened up about this to Sara Lance, who understood and promised to help her express Zari emotions in a healthy way.

However, Zari's disposition is not entirely sour; besides her dry and teasing sense of humor, she is proven to have some talent in video games and enjoys playing them in her spare time. More noteworthy, Zari is capable of empathy and compassion as the situation warranted, shown as when she connected with Ray Palmer's child-self and actually did so more successfully than Ray himself. Her display of similar empathy and kindness to Prudence Hawthorne and a young Nora Darhk would seem to suggest that she has a general soft spot for children. Zari was also just as devastated emotionally by the death of Martin Stein as all of her teammates were. Upon the news of his sacrifice, she sat with Ray, Nate Heywood, and Amaya Jiwe as they mourned and even attended his funeral.

Zari has also shown romantic and even motherly traits since joining the Legends. After faking a relationship with Nate for the latter's parents, they began to experience real feelings for each other. Zari was initially afraid to accept these feelings, allowing Sunjay to easily seduce her, but she came around with the help of Mona Wu and was the first to make a move towards a real relationship and confess her feelings to Nate. After their first-date mission, Zari and Nate acquired the egg of a dragon, whom they chose to care for themselves. They have since given it a name, incubated it, and taken turns holding the egg to provide skin-to-skin contact. All of this indicates that despite Zari's outer image of hardened survival instincts and practiced cynicism, there is a kind, gentle side to her as well.

Zari has great pride in her Muslim roots, as it is the only thing that she believes still keeps her connected to her family. Throughout her time-traveling adventures with the Legends, Zari honored her traditions by celebrating Ramadan, even though the hunger was making her incredibly irritable.

Powers and abilities

Air Totem: Zari's powers come from the Air Totem, a totem that channels and harnesses the power of the air.

Aerokinesis: The Air Totem grants Zari the power to manipulate and generate the air, bending it in whichever way she wanted.

Air Blasts: The totem allows Zari to fire offensive or defensive blasts of air from her hands.

Vortex Generation: The totem allows Zari to generate a powerful vortex to shield herself. It's unknown exactly how powerful it is, although in the medically-induced virtually reality Gideon put her in, Zari utilized this power in an attempt to protect the rest of the team and the ship from a bomb.

Flight: The totem allows Zari to fly and she can also give others this ability, as shown with a young Ray Palmer.

De-oxygenation: Zari has demonstrated the power to siphon the air out of people's lungs, eventually causing them to die of hypoxia. However, she has never used it to that extent.

Totem recall: Zari has the ability to "call" her totem to her if she currently does not possess it.

Abilities

Genius-level intellect/Computer specialist/Master computer hacker: Zari is a highly intelligent, experienced computer hacker, as she was able to hack into an A.R.G.U.S. drone to escape from it. She was even able to hack into the Waverider's subsystems, although Gideon knew about it after she did so. Zari even created an advanced computer simulation that would allow the Legends to find "loopholes" in the timeline if needed when fixing anachronisms.

Bilingual: Zari is capable of fluently speaking English and some Arabic.

Expert engineer: Zari has proven to be a highly trained engineer, able to easily repair the Waverider. After the departures of Jefferson Jackson and her co-engineer Wally West, she is now the main engineer of the ship.

Timeline/Reality awareness: Zari has an adept ability to find small "loopholes" in the timeline that she can break without severely damaging it. She has used this skill to send Helen of Troy to Themyscira, making her an Amazon warrior, and save the life of Jane Hawthorne.

Expert hand-to-hand combatant: Zari is proven to have well-coordinated fighting styles such as boxing and krav maga, as seen during the resurrection of Damien Darhk and while saving Helen of Troy. Zari was even skilled enough to hold her own against Sara Lance for a time when the latter was possessed by Mallus but was eventually subdued.

Culinary expertise: Having been taught by her mother, Nasreen, Zari is an accomplished cook, particularly with her cultural dishes; she prepared an entire Iftar feast to celebrate the end of Ramadan.

Violinist: Zari is shown to be a skilled violinist, as she taught herself how to play the violin during a sedative-induced simulation. After waking up, she flawlessly performed Vivaldi's '"L'inverno" (Winter) Concerto No. 4 in F minor, Op. 8, 4 'Winter': Largo'.

Dancing: Zari is a very talented dancer, as shown when she danced with Kamadeva in a Bollywood dance number.

Singing: Zari has proven to be a good singer, as seen when she sang with Kamadeva, Sara, Charlie, and Mona.

Stealth/Escape artist: As a former vigilante, Zari learned to stealthily get herself out of dangerous situations; when Kuasa attacked an A.R.G.U.S. truck transporting her, Zari was able to quickly break out of her restraints and flee the scene while Kuasa was occupied by the drivers.

Equipment

Totem necklace: Zari originally summoned the power of the Air Totem by touching a golden necklace that contained it. The necklace was destroyed when the populace Salem tried to burn Zari at the stake.

Suits: Zari's first suit was a white dress with gold accents that she wore as a Halloween costume. Later, during the Nazi invasion of Earth-1, Zari received a new suit in black and gold from the Waverider's fabricator.

Totem wristband: When Zari's necklace was burned in Salem, Ray Palmer made her a special bracelet that allows her to bear the Air Totem at all times. He also programmed it to have the functions of a smartwatch and a pedometer. After the timeline changed Zari never received the totem from her brother.
Air Totem: All of Zari's powers came from her totem, which allows her to manipulate the element of air.
