Universes

RWBY

Zilanna is the daughter of a newly wealthy family in Atlas. An accomplished huntress, she no longer goes out into the field, but remains as an instructor at one of the prep academies. Her mother was killed when she was 16, leaving her father an emotional mess, which led to her taking control of the family and caring for her 10 year old twin brothers.

During her time at the Atlas Academy, she dated Tetra, whom she fell deeply in love with. They remained together through their years at school and a couple years after graduation; until it was discovered that Tetra was part of an extremist group. He tried to kill her on a mission, but she retaliated and (accidentally) killed him. This caused her to move from fieldwork to teaching.

Her weapons consist of two swords that transform into pistols and two daggers. She also generally carries a little bit of dust on her person.

Semblance: Teleportation and manipulation of teleported objects. Objects must be teleported to be manipulated. Requires concentration, but not so much that she can’t do other things. Must be within reasonable distance

Final Fantasy XV

Zilanna is the daughter of a wealthy family in Insomnia whose origins lie in Tenebrae. She joins the Crownsguard after befriending Noctis and Ignis via a series of Royal Balls and run ins at the Theater where she would sing and play violin or piano.

During her time as a teenager, she dated Tetra until it was found that he was a Niflheim sympathizer terrorist who was trying to use his connection to her to gather information from the Citadel. Tetra was then captured, escaped, and his whereabouts unknown for a long while.

Zilanna travelled with Noctis and the other chocobros to Altissia and back, where it was discovered that Tetra had been working with Ardyn. It was also brought to light that Zilanna was descended from the Oracle line (specifically she’s descended from Aera and Ardyn). She inherits both the title and Trident of the Oracle. She’s able to commune with Lunafreya, who teaches her how to employ her newfound powers. She can also commune with the other Oracles of old, notably Aera, and is told of a way to cleanse the Scourge from Eos without costing the king his life.

As Noctis sleeps, she waits and trains for the day he might wake... and also so she can warp except that’s not how that works Zil plz

Stormlight Archive (WIP)

Zilanna is a lower ranked lighteyes. Her mother is a renowned an artifabrian, and her father an up and coming weapons merchant. Zilanna herself is a skilled musician, and spends her days generally tucked away studying music and artifabrians. She longs to discover a way to contain music generated in a device, if only so that she can give the her family recordings of their favorite songs. She enjoys nearly every kind of instrument, but, out of all the instruments (which have been few) that have been mentioned in the books, she’d be on the zither.

Her life largely consists of her simply living and playing her instruments. Her mom is super busy with all her studies, so she ends up taking care of her brothers a lot, and they’re still little troublemakers. They like beating each other up with toy weapons, as good Alethi boys do. They’re around the age of ten, and, while Zilanna knows that the boys will probably spend their near future in an army at war (be it on the Plains or elsewhere) she fears that they’ll be injured and/or killed. She does her best to stop them, but in little ways.

She comes to The Shattered Plains as a scribe for her father, as her mother is incredibly busy with her fabrials. Her father might be encouraging her to find someone to marry but in the gentle way. You know "isn't that [insert family name here] boy good looking?" "Dad plz. Stahp"

Final Fantasy X

Zilanna is a summoner of a well to do family in Bevelle. She started her journey with her two childhood friends, Tetra and Yamato. Over the course of the journey, she and Tetra fell for each other and became a couple.

The trio reached the temple where they were to obtain the final summon, and learned the full truth of the Aeons and Sin, and were stunned. Zilanna was willing: her guardians were not.

The disagreement between the three caused such a rift in their bond, that the two guardians completely abandoned their summoner in Zanarkand. With a heavy heart, Zilanna made her way home to her twin brothers, where she lives peacefully, healing the injured and supporting new summoners as they pass through the holy city.

Final Fantasy VII

Zilanna and her mother started as small time researchers for Shinra, interested in the use of materia as aid and relief for the Sectors below the Plate. In the processes of their research, they came across a way to use materia to enhance innate talents, powers, and further enhance materia’s power. When she wasn’t researching, she was learning how to fight with swords from her fiance. As time wore on, and after the death of her mother, Zilanna split from Shinra (fully believing them to be the cause of her mother’s death), taking her family and her research and disappearing below the Plate as best they could, which involves them moving from sector to sector a lot.

Zil probably vibes a fair bit in Sector 7, though never for too long.

When Zilanna vanished, Tetra, her fiance and SOLDIER 3rd class, spent all his down time searching for her. She would leave little letters and notes scattered through the sectors/slums, but was always careful to never to leave any trace of her whereabouts. She’s only seen him once since her flight from Shinra: the night that he died. Tetra finally tracked her down, but Shinra had followed him. She managed to escape, but at the cost of Tetra’s life.

Zilanna has since done everything in her power to upset Shinra’s plans, business, etc, though it hasn’t been much. Her individual fight has taken her to Wall Market several times, where she spends her time seeking funding and ways to develop her mother’s materia so that it can be used against Shinra. Rumor has it she has an assassin, though none have ever seen them.

Fun fact, I loved Aerith as a kid so much that she looks like Aerith, notably with almost the same hairstyle. Which I can never do irl. *cries*

Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows Of Valentia

Zilanna was a Zofian noble near the border between Rigel and Zofia. She was sent away at a young age to the Novis Priory where she met and befriended Celica for a time. Around the time she was sixteen, her parents called her back to their manor so she could aid in dealing with bandits and the ever increasing Terrors as well as aid her father in trying to mend relations between nobles on both sides of the border.

As Zilanna grew into her own, she met a butler to her house by the name of Tetra. The two fell in love and, after a few years, were engaged to be married.

Zilanna spent her years away from Novis with her betrothed and their best friend, Yamato. The three would often take on small “missions” for Zil’s father, which often were simple search and destroy style missions. Go, find the group of Terrors or bandits causing problems, and come back. A warrior priestess and her faithful bodyguards often made quick work of the threats.

Once she turned 20, Zilanna discovered the secret to the Lynn family: they stored not only the location of Princess Celica, but also kept the circlet which confirmed the princess’ identity safe. Additionally, the Lynn’s knew the location of Celica’s half brother, Prince Conrad, who was long thought to be dead.

Around this time, Tetra showed his true colors as a member of the Duma Faithful sent to spy on the Lynn family, and obtain the location of Celica. As his search proved fruitless, he began to plot to coerce the Lynn family into giving up it’s secrets. He had the perfect leverage: Zilanna. The eventual confrontation almost killed both himself and the noblewoman, but before he could land the killing blow, Tetra was forced to retreat by Yamato, to not be seen for years.

As the war between Rigel and Zofia, Zilanna found herself on the side of the deliverance, where she fought bravely as a Priestess of the Mother Mila. Their conquest brought them to the Duma Faithful, where she encountered Tetra and could put that piece of her past to rest at long last.

Under the One Kingdom, Zilanna found herself at the palace quite often, where she would nanny Celica and Alm’s children, or advise the King and Queen on relations between the formerly divided people.

We were too late.

The last we saw of Noct was his arm disappearing into the crystal and Ardyn, with that smirk of his, turning to face us.

“Adagium.” it’d flown out of Zil’s mouth. She’d looked really confused when she’d said it. That’d been happening a lot to her.

I was literally the first to shoot. I took out my pistol and just fired bullet after bullet at him. All I wanted was my best friend back! Was that too much to ask? I just wanted him back… I just wanted…

Iggy and Gladio had tried to go after Ardyn, but Zil had stopped them, saying that they’d only get themselves killed.

And then we’d waited. For Noct, yanno? We were sure we’d see him again that day.

Zil seemed to think otherwise, though. I’m not sure why. I dunno that she’s sure why. She did talk to me, and it really helped. She’s like a mom, like a real mom. Her brothers always say they find her stupidly strict but… honestly at least they have family, right? It’s what I always wanted. Yeah, I had a family. A mom and dad who were never around, and then that crazy psycho who apparently loaned me his DNA. That’s what Zil told me to think of it as. I think she told me that to help me distance myself from Bisithia, but…

Well, that has to be in me somewhere, right? Like, I have to have some sort of a… a… what’s the word? Predisposition? That’s a word I’ve heard Iggy use before, I think. But yeah, some sort of want deep down to hurt Lucis and Lucians. That has to be in there somewhere because of who...of what I am-

“Prompto!” A feminine voice broke him out of his concentration. He snapped the book shut, turning around to stare directly into a pair of deep blue eyes. The past few days had seemed to age Zilanna years. Her hair was unkempt, clothes wrinkled, with dark circles under her eyes.

“Oh h-hey, Zil.” He smiled, his gaze darting to the side.

“Hey there, Chocobean.” she cooed, her arms going around him and pulling him up into a hug. Had she seen what he was writing? “How’re ya holdin up?”

She’d definitely seen it.

“Uhhh, same as always.” Prompto said cautiously. Zilanna let out a quiet sigh before releasing him from the hug and holding him at arm’s length.

“You know you’re not him.”

“I… Yeah. I know. I just…” His voice trailed off as he hugged the writing book to his chest.

“Scared?” she asked in a whisper, concern flitting across her features.

“Y-Yeah.” he nodded.

“I’m pretty sure we all are.”

“Yeah, but they don’t have the same genetics as the guy that basically invented magitek.” Prompto shook his head and walked over to a chair. Sitting down, he looked her in the eye and continued, “You’re not all related to a monster.”

Zilanna sat down next to him, taking her time to carefully choose her words before speaking.

“Prompto,” she said firmly, “We are much more than DNA. If we were just strands of special chemicals, we’d be no different than any other animal. But we have a heart. A soul. And most importantly, free will. So what if you have Bisithia’s DNA? You’re not him. You’ll never be him. You chose to come back and help us. You chose to journey with Noctis in the first place. You chose to be a different human being than what Bisithia was. Okay?” She gave him a small smile.

He went quiet for a few minutes, and only nodded in response. Zilanna lightly patted his head before pulling him in for another hug, which was awkward since they were both sitting in different chairs.

“You feel at least a little better, kiddo?” she asked gently, standing as she did.

“Yeah.” he nodded. “Thanks.”

“Sure thing, chocobean. Oh, one more thing.” Zilanna turned, digging in the pocket of her black overcoat for a few moments before turning back around with a small, fluffy, black feather resting in her cupped hands.

“Remember that black chocobo chick we helped rescue? Well, it’s okay. I stopped by Meldacio on my last mission and it had molted some of its feathers, so I grabbed one for you.”

Prompto’s eyes lit up as he gently, almost reverently, took the feather out of Zilanna’s hands. It was attached to a sturdy string along with a few colored beads.

“Can...can I wear this?” he asked quietly. She smiled.

“Just tell me if you wanna attach it to your clothes and I can do that for you.”

Prompto looked at her, tears glistening in his eyes. She smiled and hugged him.

“Iggy and Gladio managed to find some food. You wanna go find them and join them?”

“Yeah,” he sniffled, letting go of her and standing. He motioned for her to lead the way. She nodded and started walking.

“Oh and Zil?”

She paused, turning to glance at him. He smiled at her.

“Thanks mom.”

“Don’t mention it kiddo.” she winked. “It’s what I’m here for.”

A/N: this was my submission to apply to the prompto zine that I recently was accepted into! Additionally, the idea for the chocobo feather came from @destiny-islanders headcanons for her FFXVxKH crossover.
