A teacher at Dragon Magic School (working title.) She teaches the integration of magic into machinery and how magic has been used to assist in scientific discoveries throughout history. She calls her class Technomancy since its a much, much shorter title and it tends to draw in more interested dragons than calling it "History of Magic's Effects on the Scientific World." She is a bit eccentric and is constantly working on inventions.

Born in a frozen fortress in Ice, Zara was always quick to escape from her mother and explore the clan’s home. The progenitors believed it had been sent to them by a god who had no need for such a building and were very invested in its upkeep. Zara felt a tad less respectful for beings she couldn’t prove were real and would get in to trouble for dismantling parts of furniture for her odd inventions. Her favorite part of the fortress was the library that hosted books with pages so cold they were brittle to the touch. She would let books warm in the sun before pouring over the history held in them. The majority of them were hand-written journals in an archaic script that detailed experiments with magic and technology together. They fascinated her, and at a young age she left her clan to find other places in the world to read up on the history of both magic and technology. She became an expert in her niche field and was eventually reached out to by Spiralshine. While reluctant to stop her travels, she agreed eventually.

Zara’s teaching style is incredibly example-based. Even if what she’s demonstrating never worked in the first place, she will build a fully accurate replica and let it do whatever it did best (or worst.) She often walks around the room as she reads passages. Her energy far exceeds that of her students, who couldn’t care less about how long it took to realize fully magical clothing was perhaps not the best idea. She has become more than accustomed to bored students and pays them no mind as long as they do well in her class.

Her room is painted a stark white, though through the layers one can see stains from all sorts of materials. Most notably is a deep red stain in a splattered arc on the far back wall. A massive chalkboard fills the front wall. Layers of chalk dust are accumulated on it. A black scorch mark is visible on the bottom left corner. The wooden floor is often host to bits of her less successful experiments. She has a rack of tools and supplies behind her desk, but most prominent in the room is it’s fully electric lighting. Zara wired it herself, and it has surprisingly held up over the years. It is powered by a large contraption in the back closet of her room that produces a constant hum. The windows in her classroom are constantly opened, no matter the weather. The books for her class are stored safely in large metal lockers in the back of the room.
