NOOOO MADAM Z IM SORRY FOR THINKING YOU WERE VOICED BY AI (Context: at this point of the story. she was reminiscing the past, the child she was and the person she could've grown up to be and be around with, had it not for unfortunate circumstances)

everyone, please greet Madam Z a genuine happy birthday

Yk who's interactions I wonder about? Madam Z and Madam Hofmann.

Hofmann believes that if arcanists were raised under the idea that they could be taught to self-regulate in the same ways humans were, that arcanists could be rational people too. Madam Z also believes in peace among arcanists and humans where they both see each other as people first. They're both characters with a lot of empathy and who believe in true peace within us, and peace without sacrifice.

tootz late night drives on tooth fairy's motorcycle. tooth fairy not caring that they shouldn't be out so late, and madam z is very much the opposite but she does not protest when tooth fairy asks her out.

tooth fairy finds out madam z's not used to being on the back of the motorcycle and reassures her that it's okay if madam z clings on to her–and she does so.

tooth fairy says that madam z has quite the grip on her and laughs a little, flustering madam z. the closeness doesn't bother them at all. in fact, it felt right for the both of them. whatever. i don't care about these two at all

Madam Z is an arcanist

So, I've seen some debate in the fandom wether Madam Z is a human or an arcanist, and I decided to make this post because there is actually a canon answer that's been given to us two times; first in chapter 4 of the main story, and then in the Green Lake event.

First, in chapter 4-14 we get a narrator trail that clearly states that Z is an arcanist that somehow made it to the same level of hierarchy as the humans in the Foundation comitee.

Then, in the final part of the Green Lake event we see Tooth Fairy and Z in a car, and TF notices she has a headache, but Z denies it and then confesses that she doesn't want to eat tooth fairies because the texture "creeps her out", revealing that she has consumed them before (remember that TF will only give tooth fairies to arcanists, as said to Blonney). Upon this, TF says she also has human drugs, which Z accepts.

This caption yet again confirms Z is indeed an arcanist.

I don't blame anyone for not remembering these details because Z is unlike most arcanists we typically see in the story; mainly, she has no fancy powers, and doesn't seem to be facing direct discrimination for her origins.

Now, maybe she doesn't have powers; we know this is possible thanks to Kumar, who was born in a family of arcanists yet she couldn't use arcanum. She could also be a half-blooded arcanist, which we know struggle a lot using arcanum as well. She could even be the same case as Greta; having 1/4 of arcanist blood, which would mean she she'd have practically no arcanist characteristics (which is why Greta considered herself a human). However, Tooth Fairy once treated a kid with tooth fairies, and we know the only arcanist in his family was his grandma, so he was also 1/4 arcanist, yet he was arcanist "enough" to consume fairies.

Now, regardles of if Z can use arcane skills or not, I think it's likely she's not "out" to most people in her workplace. We know many of the members of the commitee are rather prejudiced against arcanists, and often are openly racist towards them, and while I don't think they'd stop themselves from saying these things if they knew Z was an arcanist, I think they would definitely use this fact against her, especially when they were trying to stop the storm reformation from being approved.

That said, I think some trusted people in the Foundation do know of Z's status. First of Tooth Fairy, since she won't give people tooth fairies unless they not only are an arcanist, but also accept themselves as an arcanist.

While this is the only confirmation we have, I'd like to think other people like Greta, with whom Z seemed at least amicable, or Katz are also on the loop. Vertin too, probably, and finally... Constantine. I actually think the whole thing with the kids and the storm was also Constantine's subtle way of telling Z "this is what happens to arcanists who rebel", so she could control her better, but of course that's only speculation.

Does anyone have any idea on who the voice actor is for Madam Z? Her voice in this part felt so off-putting. I don't know if its just the direction for her to be as emotionless as possible or not, but it really felt like AI. I can hear the accent yes, but her voice just didn't match everything that was happening. Was that an intentional part on the VA and the VD? I'm trying to find the VAs for the eng dub but the only ones that were revealed were the main cast. (If that was the intention for it, then great job bcs it actually felt so uncanny that I had to take a break for a couple minutes to research and confirm to make sure no AI was used but if its not...)
