anna renner (zatanna zatara)
25 a WITCH ought never
to be frightened
in the darkest forest
because she should
be SURE in her soul
that the most terrifying thing
in the forest was HER
okay so because i am way too excited to be here, and i wasn’t sure my starter would fit for everyone, i wanna be able to write a starter for anyone who wants one! so like this and i shall give you a starter and probably message you for plotting! so a TWO FOR ONE like deal ! get’em while its hot !
“ no, no, NO, when i say give notice you won’t show, i mean BEFORE i’m at the restaurant, doug, ” anna hisses into her phone, growing more irritated by the second at her ( ex ) client. “ this is the third time you’ve stood me up, if you don’t want to commit to this, then tell-- ” CLICK. the bastard hung up on her. it takes every ounce of self control not to throw her phone across the room. instead, she settles for slamming it onto the table, which turns a few heads. " it’s rude to eavesdrop. ” as soon as she says it, she regrets it. it’s not fair to take out her frustration onto strangers. “ sorry. sorry. ignore me. ”
nico drags a thumb across his lower lip, and his eyes are just a little glassy. but, as always, he’s more alert than he looks. ( he’s always poised to pounce; old habits die hard. ) the delight on his face is a facade, a picture of a picture, but one that he wears goddamn well. if he does say so himself, that is. “ i like that watch, ” he says. there’s something in his tone, a lilt to his voice, that suggests it’s already his. but it’s no fun that way; he wants the stranger to give it to him. “ where’d you get a pretty thing like that, huh ?? ”
people in the new york streets do not talk to each other. a person could be shot right in front of them, and they’d get offended at having to step over the body. everyone has somewhere to be, no time for someone else’s bullshit. that’s why she’s immediately on guard at the man’s voice. “ how nice for you, ” she replies cooly. anna’s already thinking of the best way to reach for her pepper spray in her purse. “ my father. ” she shifts her purse further over her shoulder. “ my turn. ” her eyes sweep over him. “ where’d you get the penchant for asking strangers questions ? ”
Diane had typically seen the strangest customers. Maybe because it’s New York, maybe because of everything going on in the world. It doesn’t matter to her, but she observes from the diner’s counter curiously every time. Taking a drink from the milkshake that she got out of working her shift, her final count for tips was calculated. Not bad. Looking over, her eyes scanned the small dinner, stopping for a minute before flickering away.
Anna didn’t like to be a bother to service people, remembering her days of waitressing. The experience certainly gave her a healthy cynicism for humanity of today. When she entered the diner, all too late, she hoped that she wouldn’t be too much of a bother. There were a few customers filling the booths, but she only spotted one employee. Her gaze immediately drew to her, probably because of the money laid in front of her. That or she was a drug dealer counting her earnings. “Hello?” she greeted the woman with a slight smile. “Don’t mean to be a bother, but could I order something to go?”
№ — ( KAT GRAHAM, SHE/HER/HERS, CIS FEMALE, DC ) ┊ did you hear about ZATANNA? i heard that they also go by ZATANNA ZATARA - wait no ! they go by ANNA RENNER now - and are aged 25. they literally turned into dust for a hot second, so i don’t know how they’re doing, in all honesty. ( izzy / 19 / pst / she/her/hers )
hey y’all! i’m izzy and i honestly love comics and superheroes and have been in way too many dc/marvel rps before! still watch the old justice league and justice league: unlimited cartoon way too much just to give y’all an idea! i’m shit at intros though but i’m gonna try ❥
i’m gonna be playing zatanna based in her young justice storyline + a bit of her comic lore!
zatanna had a pronounced magic ability since she was a child thanks to being her father’s daughter
she never knew her mother, believing she died giving birth to her
she grew up in gotham
her father was always a bit overprotective of her, which is why he was wary for her to join in with other young heroes in the group they were forging
eventually she found a permanent spot
soon after, her father was forced to become dr. fate to free her from his power and she lost her remaining family
as she grew up, so did her powers and she found her way to position in the justice league
as a civilian, she was a stage magician in gotham
when thanos began his reign of terror on the world, she fought alongside other heroes, and anti-heroes alike
during this battle, she disintegrated into dust
and that’s where anna renner comes in!
anna’s a talent agent in new york, specializing in up and coming magicians
both her parents are dead
despite her work, she finds the idea of magic being real silly
the only real ‘memory’ she has of zatanna is the fact she can tell you what the backwards version of a word immediately
but she doesn’t go out of her way to hear the latest on thanos and the heroes in the world, focusing on day to day life instead
okay this is a whole mess! and i missed a ton im sure! but just lemme know if you wanna plot or anything i’d love to!
