Job: Basically, she is a veterinarian that works in the sea. In her village she was an animal healer thanks to that she mixes her knowledge as a traditional healer with a more modern kind of veterinary approach outside her island. Because of her beliefs she also considers that part of her job is to put a stop to the illegal animal trade and illegal fur trappers of all the seas.
Hobbies: She loves to read and learn different and traditional dances of all around the world. She thinks of exploring more as a pastime than a necessity.
Personality: Zumaya is usually a person who gets carried away by her instincts and first impressions. She is very extroverted with those with whom she feels comfortable. In addition to be very determined once the decision has been made, following it to the end at all costs. She is very curious and that shows in her love for books and her interest in knowing other cultures. She has no ambition for money and believes strongly in helping others out of pure solidarity. She is also a person who likes to have fun and within those diversions she does not say no to a little of inoffensive flirting.
Although it seems that she forgives very easily, she does not really forget, and she spends a lot of time thinking about the matter. Because of that she can become resentful, although that ultimately makes her feel worse. She can also be quite stubborn, she doesn’t like to be contradicted when she thinks she is right, but she is capable of accepting defeat if given sufficient arguments, although she will not be happy with the result. She cares a lot about the opinion of others so she sometimes feels very insecure when acting according to her customs or giving her opinion due to the “what they will say?”.
She is a tolerant and sociable person with the towns she visits. She always shows herself well mannered with different cultures and interested in knowing them and learning from them. However, getting to know the people on the ships and the pirates makes her nervous, which translates into a serious and withdrawn attitude, so she may seem unfriendly at first. Although this usually changes after the initial encounter.
She loses patience with extreme ease if they interrupt or disturb her while she works, depending on the circumstances and the person’s attitude she will be more or less hostile, but in any case her uncomfort will be noticeable at first glance.
With her enemies and those who trade illegal animals and skins, she is extremely cruel and vindictive, bringing out the worst in herself. There is no mercy in her words or actions. Because of this, some people who know her think that she gives more value to animal life than to human life.
Allies: Crew “Ishakurk” (Belonging to his brother Casimiro)
Her Ship: The ark of the one-eyed dog.// Old allies: Leti’s Fangs
Bounty: 203.005.000 B
Past: Zumaya was born on the island of Ishamaru that is in North Blue, being the island populated by the inhabitants of the tribe “ Ishamuru ”. A tribe of pacific character but that understands the necessity to be prepared before possible eventualities, whose culture it’s based on their interactions with the fauna and flora that surrounds them (if you want later I can write a post about the culture of this tribe).
Since she was a little kid Zumaya felt a great admiration for her mother’s job (village healer of both people and local fauna and flora), she liked to see how her mother worked, especially with animals. This was what impelled her to follow that path in life, learning from her mother the trade. On the other hand, her father taught her and told her about the outside world and what he had learned from his birthplace and on his travels before ending up stranded on that island, where he met his wife and where he decided to stay. The words of her father awakened on her the desire to learn much more about what was beyond the horizon and the methods of animal healing that it hid.
At the age of 14, her tribe considered that Zumaya had already obtained the basic knowledge to be considered one of his healers, but only in the applications on animals (since contrary to her mother she did the same as many of his companions and specialized only in an area).
When he turned 19, Zumaya and her older brother Cain decided to leave their home in search of a future outside of their Island. They decided to look for luck in Water 7, theirs father’s hometown.
Two months after arriving at Water 7 her older brother has already found training and work as a ship builder. Meanwhile Zumaya meets the captain of the crew “Leti’s Fangs”. It is a ship that considers itself as a traveling (itinerant) animal shelter although its most extreme and radical activities have given fame to its crew as animalist terrorists. The captain offers her a place in his crew by promising her the veterinary training they know. Zumaya decides to join them after several discussions and fights with his brother who is convinced that his sister can find training in other ways and with much less dangerous people. In the end his brother allows her to leave reluctantly and dismissing her in the port wishing her to be wrong about his own impressions.
Despite the good intentions of the crew members, their rules were extremely radical at times, although Zumaya in her young naivety accepted them and obeyed them without hesitation, allowing herself to be influenced by the ideals promoted by the Captain. In the missions they were forbidden to leave alive anyone who participated in the illegal trade of animals or in the sale of skins and even in legal sales of animal skins. After torturing and killing their enemies they often burned shops and ships belonging to those who they attacked. During her first year Zumaya barely participated in this kind of missions due to her inexperience, but that changed over time.
Seven years after joining the crew, and Zumaya with 26 years, the ship was sentenced to 65 years in prison and someone of them to die for trying to destroy the secret black market of animals belonging to the world government and for the rest of the crimes committed in their missions . Luckily for Zumaya her brother Cain never stopped looking for news about the crew where her sister was traveling and when he found out he sought help from his twin brother Casimiro, who had been working as a pirate for two years with a crew of his own called “Ishakurk”, together they manage to free their sister and run away from the marines.
After this Zumaya returns to Water 7 with her older brother Cain who despite his concern and his anger (for not paying attention to him at the time) creates a custom ship to Zumaya, so she can travel comfortably without the need of a crew doing what she likes most: her work.
Her history with Tristan: She met Tristan when she started sailing for the first time in the crew. Leti’s Fangs
The captain was a cocoon who didn’t care his crew suffer.
At the beginning Zumaya and Tristan never speak, they caught each other’s attention but they did not talk until they saw each other for the third time When Zumaya was rescuing and helping a poor animal, that’s when they exchanged some words for the first time.
When Tristan and Zumaya already considered themselves good friends, Tristan get worry about her because he knew the captain well enough to warn Zumaya that she had to be careful not to trust her captain.
She ignored him and even got a little upset, but one day the captain wanted to use Zumaya on a mission where she was the bait for the “enemy”:
When the captain called Tristan to ask for ammunition, Tristan finds out about Zumaya’s bad situation.
The captain made such an action not only to get the mission, but also to get the free ammunition that Tristan would provide. The deal was that if Tristan gave him the ammunition for free, he would give him where to rescue Zumaya. Tristan was agreed, after rescuing Zumaya, he insists that she must leave the crew.
She refuses because she wants to continue saving the animal’s life, at that moment they begin to argue and as a final result she involuntarily slaps Tristan. Without saying words Tristan leaves and he didn’t negotiate with that crew again.
Zumaya knew that what she did was wrong and she deeply regretted it, because she really miss him, and regretted her behavior.
From there, Zumaya took seriously Tristan’s words, that is, she had many things that she didn’t like about her captain from the beginning, but now she was sure she would not lower her guard.
Months later the crew of Zumaya is in jail and she is rescued by her brother.
The months pass and Zumaya and Tristan coincide in the same bar and since then they have seen each other several time. Soon they begin a 5 year relationship. They decide to look for a home on a little known island, to be able to live peacefully. Where Zumaya and Tristan take care of the animals that Zumaya has rescued, and then release them in their respective islands. Until they finally get married and have 3 children.
Currently: At this time her life consists of exploring the Grand Line alone helping on her way to the wounded creatures that she finds in the sea, ships and coasts, while writing down in her notebooks the new species and healing methods that she is finding and learning throughout the trip. Whenever she is on her routes when she encounters some form of animal abuse she will intervene to put an end to it in the best of her abilities, sometimes it is she herself who starts the search for skin and animal smugglers to dismantle them, but being alone on many occasions she does not have enough capacity to make them disappear or to really hurt them.
Also she steals money or jewelry in missions
But soon she becomes pregnant with her first two children. So she asks Tristan to rescue the animals and bring them to her so she can heal them. After several years she does not resist and occasionally leaves her children with her parents on Ishamuru Island, while rescuing animals. It’s something that Tristan does not like too much, so he allows it if they go together and it’s only for a few days. He does not want his children to be left without a mother and he does not want Zumaya to take risks. Years later they have a daughter.
Weapons:
-A rifle with tranquilizing darts (she uses it with those dangerous or difficult-to-handle animals she has to deal with, but if necessary, in situations of risk she will use it with humans without caring too much about the side effects on them).
-A revolver to defend herself and attack.
- Syringes with all kinds of medicines, sedatives and poisons (she has to be very careful when using them to avoid mistakes, it is more a last resort than a usual weapon).
-A knife with an edge of about 30 centimeters used for the most intense fighting moments.
-A small traditional scalpel of her tribe, which not only used in medical interventions but also for the most unpleasant things of their interrogations and revenge.
- Her poisonous nail polish (the nail polish it’s created by mixing it with different animal poisons, depending on which poison she uses the effects on her enemies will be different. Luckily for everyone she usually wears gloves except in situations of risk or when she is not wearing the painted nails).
Abilities: She is good at making plans in a short period of time, if needed she can be sneaky and she is quick to her feet in case she must run away.
Weaknesses: She is not really good at hand-to-hand combat and she also gets tired very quickly with physical activities.
Pets: Num (invented animal. It’s looks like a cat but it’s not a cat xD) Toroteo (mechanical horse created by Caín). She has more pets on the two island.
