Mental characteristics
Gender Identity
She always knew that she was a woman, the fierce kind like her aunt was. Maybe it was luck or perhaps her devotion to Konsagra paid off because she was granted the role of a daughter at her spiritual awakening and the masculine "h" was removed from her name. She then studied politics until under special circumstances she was switched the the military track and began training at 15.
Sexuality
She is a worshipper of Ihamorasa.
Education
She had a tutor who taught her basic academics and combat training.
Employment
The military.
Accomplishments & Achievements
Spiritual Awakening at age 13
Colonel at 17
General at 19
Mental Trauma
Grei gets up and walks over to her door. Opening it and stepping outside, she sees Ozra heading towards her room. She looks terrible. There's hair falling out of her bun, her clothing is soiled from battle and weather, and there is a thin layer of ash dusting her face. Most alarming are her eyes. They have a hollow look to them that Grei has never seen before. On top of that, Ozra looks more tired than she had been in a long while.Generational trauma, family secrets, social dysphoria, child soldier at age 15, kidnapped by an assassin in her own home...nothing compares to that night at the Gladiolus Inn.

Hygiene
Always washes well after a mission. Used to brief and cold body-washing, and while she enjoys the warmth of baths at home feels unsafe and exposed.
Social
Religious Views
The Rid girl smiled at this. While they weren’t quite the same, Ozra understood feeling out of place. It was an uncomfortable feeling. One that leads to confusion, internally and to those around her. The disinterest she felt when her sister, Grei, talked about boys. Or the frustration that boiled in her stomach whenever she signed her name with the masculine letter h at the end. At the back of her mind, she knew she wasn’t alone. All her life she heard stories of the restlessness that came with one’s youth, and the peace that they would find as they matured and became old enough to connect with a divine. And people finally listened. Hearing someone in her own age group, a younger person even, experience what she felt; a need to connect, a hunger for answers? It made her own feelings somehow less strange, less isolating.The divines served as a special comfort for Ozra growing up, and it was through her families temple that she got to know herself and her close companion and future second in command, Jemin Ibēma.
Social Aptitude
She can navigate most social situations by the book if made to, she prefers not to. Often getting through them by focusing on listening, keeping her statements short and to the point, and letting Jemin or Grei carry the conversation. When given a specific task however she excels, it's what made her such a good colonel. After being promoted to General she faced challenges being in the highest rung but her familiarity with the squad, her second hand knowledge from her mentor, and the support from Jemin were enough to keep up her confidence and her competence.
Mannerisms
Stiff movements, the demeanor of someone who grew very fast and still isn't used to their body. The tightness of someone who mirrored the strength training she saw in others but wasn't warned to take care of her flexibility.
Hobbies & Pets
She sketches and occasionally paints in her free time. She finds it calming.
Speech
She speaks with the sharp, short, and clear tone of a hedoni soldier and with the command of a general. If she sung she would be a baritone.
Relationships
Relationship Reasoning
Taking Ozra’s hands in her own, she said softly “The night before I left to be apprenticed, my father told me ‘Stick with that Ríd girl. No girl has looked at you with the amount of love that she does. Don’t let anything distract either of you from keeping each other safe.’ That was the last time we spoke.” “Your father was a wise man,” Ozra said. Jemin gave a sad smile. “Indeed he was.”

Of the elites, most of their wealth is in property. Her mother is a Lady and her father is an Officer.
