Zephyrus, who mainly goes by "Zephyr" or just "Zeph", is a high-end fashion model and minor celebrity.
They live in a fancy high-rise condo downtown, walk runways, star in advertisements, and can be found in many fashion magazines.
They are quiet- a smoldering fire burns in them, driving them forward, which is evident in their every interaction and movement.
They put on a serious, intimidating façade to protect themself from emotional harm.
They are graceful and composed, their body toned and muscular from years of dance and modeling classes.
*
They also have a secret.
They know about The City and it's true nature. They've made their deal with The City- become something Else- and have chosen instead to forsake it.
They refuse to feed it.
They want to find others like themself- before they succumb to The City's hunger.

Zephyr also knows Lucas, from their childhood. Before Lucas had moved into The City, they were elementary school friends.
They had known each other by different names- abandoned names- and are very different now than they had been.
Zephyr had left their elementary school as a child to move to The City, and had been living there ever since. On their last day together, Lucas had confessed their crush on Zephyr.
In return, Zephyr left them with a stuffed rabbit toy as a memento- and a kiss on the cheek.
They had mutually haunted each other's lives ever since.
*
Unbeknownst to Lucas, Zeph knew they were in The City and had been keeping an eye on them for a few years.
They'd gone to his concerts to see Odd Death perform. They'd lounged at the crowded bars and clubs that Lucas would frequent.
Zeph recognized Lucas, and wanted to approach- but was that even appropriate?
They had grown apart for so long...
*
Slowly, it dawned on Zephyrus- Lucas was like them.
Not just in the ways they had grown up, the kind of people they had become- but in their pact with The City.
But Lucas had no idea- he was about to be swallowed whole if no one intervened.

Zephyrus has the ability to see the future.
They are constantly living ahead of everyone else- able to see both the present and up to 7 seconds into the future at once.
At first, this was debilitating- but now they are able to move through the world with incredible purpose and intention.
With momentary focus, they are able to see several minutes into the future, from their own perspective.
With long meditation, they are able to see hours or days ahead.
*
However, the future is malleable, and constantly shifting- it is easiest to parse and most predictable when seen only seconds ahead of the present.
As they gaze further into the future, it becomes messy.
Erratic threads of possible future events flood them like waves, and they must keep incredible focus to sort through them all.
Because of the extreme mental toll it takes on them, they rarely go beyond seeing a few minutes into the future.

Zephyrus considers themself to be Indigo's protector.
They have watched over her since she was a homeless teen, and will fight tooth and nail to see her succeed. They have lived together as unrelated siblings since Zephyr graduated high school.
