The Basics
Full Name: Zira Alina Tigorov
Nickname/Alias: Zee, Mrs. Tigorov, Mrs. T
Species: Siberian Tiger
Gender: Female
Age: 33
Occupation: Elementary school art teacher.
District: Rainforest District
Appearance
Fur/Tail: Zira is orange with dark stripes all over her body except for down the middle of the front side of her body. Her stripes are a dark brown, almost black, but not quite. Her fur that is down the middle is a cream color. Her tail is long, thin, and carries on the orange with dark stripes pattern. Basically she looks like most normal tigers.
Clothing: Zira loves to wear bright or fun patterned clothing, sometimes both together. She tends to dress in nice casual clothing. Usually skirts with a nice top or a dress that goes just below the knee or lower. She is fond of nice sweaters as well. She likes to wear necklaces and a bracelet or two as well. She also loves themed outfits for holidays or events or themed parties.
Overview: She is thin and a bit on the short side since she is a female tiger. She also has very nice green eyes, which are her favorite feature about herself. She is also very graceful in the way that she moves and carries herself, despite being a larger predator.
Personality
Personality Description: Zira is a free spirited, gentle, and creative soul. She has a crazy imagination that she mostly allows to run rampant on paper or a canvas, but it occasionally comes out in thoughts and ideas as well. Usually the verbal expression is saved for Ivan since others tend to look at her oddly when she starts speaking of such odd things. This makes her tend to be a quiet person, not necessarily shy, but afraid to speak until she knows how someone will react to what she is saying.
This isn't true when she is speaking to her class of young children though. She believes that young minds are the most accepting and most open to such imagination and creativity. She wants to be able to tap into this and make it so the next generation isn't afraid to express themselves and their ideas. She wants to help little ones to be the best that they can be by being who they feel they are.
She is very motherly and gentle in nature, despite what people may think since she is considered a predator. She cares for everyone and wants to help everyone. She doesn't really have much, if any, meanness in her. Of course this allows some to take advantage of her and makes her a sensitive tiger, but she is who she is. She'd rather be quiet and sweet and just take it than fight with anyone.

Weaknesses

Likes:
- Art: Zira loves art of all sorts from drawing to painting. She finds it incredibly relaxing as well as a way to allow her large imagination to run wild. This is why she became an art teacher. She wanted to be able to help kids be creative and imaginative.
- Rain: Rain is so peaceful and calming to Zira. There is nothing like falling asleep to the sound of a gentle rain. She enjoys being out in it as well, as long as it isn't pouring. She finds a nice rain on a warm day quite refreshing.
- Kids: Some people find children to be incredibly annoying and useless, but Zira knows that kids are the future. She wants to help them to express who they are, what they desire, and what they need in whatever way they see fit. She wants to encourage creativity in these young, fresh minds. She strongly believes that this will be best for everyone.
Dislikes/Fears:
- Stereotypes: She doesn't like to be grouped as a predator who is evil and out to hunt and kill prey. Zira doesn't have a mean bone in her body. She is sweet and would do anything for anyone. It feels horrible to have people judging her as something she isn't or even worse, afraid of her.
- Loss: Zira is very scared of losing any of the things that she holds dear. Her husband, her family, her home, her job, and her life. The idea of losing anything is very hard for her and so she occasionally gets a bit crazy and anxious if she feels like she is losing her grip on something.
- Sleep: Zira actually has quite a lot of irrational fears as well as realistic fears. She is prone to nightmares that can range from anything to her somehow becoming a predator, to their home catching on fire, to Ivan being killed on the job, to never being able to have children of her own. This makes sleep difficult for Zira. She lays awake for hours at night thinking and when she manages to sleep she ends up having the nightmares.
History
History: Zira has had a good life really. A loving mother and father as well as two older twin brothers who have always been incredibly protective of her. She is quite a bit younger than both of them, as they had the boys when they were young themselves and they proved to be a bit of a pawful. Once they were old enough to have calmed down, at least a little bit, they decided to have another and that was when Zira came along.
She was very much daddy's little princess and her mommy's little angel. Zira's gentle nature has been with her since birth and her parent's couldn't be more pleased that they didn't have to raise another rough and wild child. Of course she had her wild and crazy imagination, but it didn't seem nearly as dangerous. Especially considering that she seemed to love letting it out through art from a very young age. She would convince her brothers to build her these little blanket forts and she'd hide away in them for hours just drawing.
It was her mother who eventually got her into painting as well. She had been interested in art in her younger years as well, but had stopped painting when the twins were born simply because she didn't have the time or energy for it at that point. She decided to take Zira out to one of her favorite spots in Zootopia to let her try her paw at painting. Zira ended up loving it and this became a regular thing for the two of them. Still to this day they find time to go out there together and paint.
Her life was pretty ordinary, but Zira was content and that was all that mattered. At least some new did come into her life not long ago. She fell in love with a tiger cop named Ivan who nearly knocked her over, but caught her before she fell to the ground. It had been an incredibly awkward situation for Zira. He was big and handsome and he apparently decided that he wanted to hold a conversation with her. Of course she sat with him and talked despite being all flustered. She learned that he was a sweet guy and he seemed to be interested in her love of art. Being Zira, she wanted to teach him. Everyone should have the pleasure of expressing their imaginations through art. Their relationship just grew from there and now they have been happily married for a year.
