Little is officially known about Zareen's past. That she was given to East Briar under special circumstances, and that her mysterious benefactor gave the school a large endowment for her care and upkeep. The Dean has hinted that she was a sort of Lab expirament that had been studied for some time and her particular project was about to be "Terminated" when she was rescued and brought to the school. She was mostly feral upon her arrival- uncommunicative, bity and prone to clawing. The vice-Dean Jasmine made arrangements for Amanda [an air cavalry officer in her father's organization] should be put in charge of her care. The two quickly bonded and Zareen has made notable progress since.
There are some theories though about Zareen's past, and her possible family. One is that her great-great grandmother is the Harpy Caelano. No one is quite sure how to prove this, however and it remains gossip..

Zareen has quickly blossomed into a happy young bird. She is taking early elementary classes and seeing the school's Speech Therapist. While it's clear she understands Greek, Turkish and English, her verbal skills are stunted.
Another interesting behavior is the continuous organic art she applies to the wall of her bedroom. Notable events are sketched on, usually with paint pens, of important [to her] people and things. Zareen has evidenced a fear of large birds, other harpies, fire and dogs. She has also expressed fear the "Lab People" will one day return to claim her.

Zareen's actual age is unknown. she doesn't remember anything before living in the labs where she was moved around as needed. She does display instinctive behavior and will weave "nests" if the right materials are provided. These are conical in shape and used for storage and sleeping.
She has evidenced certain behaviours in finding people with particular livers and attempting to subdue them. It is belived to have been trained into her as a search function in the lab. Currently these behaviors are deemed unacceptable and are being removed.
She displays several traits associated with the Harpies of Legend, namely when alarmed her feathers take on the quality of bronze, in weight and hardness. She is capable of shedding feathers as a defense mechanism. Unlike most depictions of harpies Zareen has fully functional arms and hands. At this time it is unknown if this is a mutation, a manmade augmentation or natural for her subspecies.
Her eyes are a warm shade of golden brown with a slit pupil similar to a cat. Her teeth are serrated much like a shark and she has four digits on hands and feet.


WIP From Liira's page: -Zareen "The Golden" is a young butter-coloured harpy. Records suggest she is the great grand-daughter of the Harpy Caeleno. She was found as a hatchling somewhere in Anatolia and captured. Since then records are few and information scarce. It is belived she was transferred from laboratory to laboratory as a test-subject. Her ability to sense "Good" livers was rewarded. She wears a shock-collar for the saftey of others. Currently she lives at East Briar as a special needs student, with efforts made to integrate and normalize her. So far the results are mixed. Her handler, a Sky Cavalry named Amanda, is teaching her to speak properly- though she seems to understand English, Greek and Turkish. Interactions with other winged people are not yet recommended.-
