Mental characteristics

Intellectual Characteristics

Zemfira is a very inteligent person. Despite most Steppe Riders can't read and write she was able to learn it. She took advantage of the fact the caravan stays in Westfort for a few days and sometimes even a whole week and asked a traveller, that she met in a tavern, to teach her. After a week Zemfira was able to read simple texts and write her name.

Morality & Philosophy

Zemfira tries to see the best in people and believes that everyone can change. In her opinion no one is good or bad from birth, but he becomes a certain perosn because of the influence his surroudings and people around him have on him.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Zemfira wants to explore the world, meet new people and experience new things. Unfortunately, her possibilities are limited as a Steppe Rider. Riding with the caravan helps her with that, but she wants more. She wants to explore the world of the City Dwellers beyond Westfort. She wants to see the cities and empire of the East.

Zemfira's mother lives in the camp and Zemfira spends time with her every time the caravan returns. Her father died a few years ago when the camp was attacked by the Kiryk.

Religious Views

Zemfira believes in the spirits of the ancestors protecting the Steppe Riders, but she is also intrigued by the Susannite religion. However, she doesn't want to convert because it would hurt her mother very much, who is quite traditional and believe that the Steppe Rider culture should be cultivated.

Social Aptitude

Zemfira is a social person. She wants to meet new people. Being in the camp and around the same people all the time was boring for her. When they reach Westfort she always sneaks of to a tavern where she spends hours talking to everyone. What she like hearing the most are the stories about the lands to the east. Zemfira hopes to visit them one day.
