Biography
Zella was born sometime in the 19th century in the Caribbean Sea. By her looks, Zella was born sometime in the early 1870s. She only had one sister; Tara, and through her maternal side had a distant cousin; Nettie. Growing up, she was very close to Tara and upon her arrival, grew extremely close to Nettie. Their bond as a trio grew so closely that Tara and Zella agreed to personally train Nettie as a Hunter. Personality-wise, Zella is portrayed as the more "jokey, care-free and laidback" one of the three.

Not much is known about Zellas personal life, though her father is a member of the Council of Eight in their bubble city. Due to this, Tara and Zella are powerful Hunters; typically of the higher ranks. Due to this rank, Zella was able to train Nettie. In 1895, upon Nettie training her vocal range; Zella was summoned to attract a sailor. After Theodore McDonald exposed his widgae form, Zella alongside Tara were scared away, knowing the possible dangers. Upon Nettie returning and telling them of Theodore's investigation, Zella was keen to know where the situation with the widgae was going; eventually convincing Tara to help Nettie. Zella later returned to Theodore alongside Nettie and Tara and told him of her finding. After this, Zella forcibly disowned Nettie upon her growing attractedness to the widgae; her decision was mostly influenced by Tara. It is unknown if Zella will re-appear due to the disowning.

In mermae form she was about 7 foot, possibly being around 5 foot in human form. She had pearly white teeth and white illustrations across her body, like her sister. Her tail was green, matching her hair color. Her voice was very slow and word-grabbing, like she was high; aside from this she showed a very strong Saint Lucian accent.
