Zoya Nazyalensky

she originally aimed to become a soldier of the First Army before she learned of her Squaller powers. After training in the Little Palace, Zoya quickly rose to become a favored soldier of the Darkling and was frequently assigned to missions around Ravka. During the Ravkan civil war Zoya fought alongside the sun saint and eventually became a member of the Grisha Triumvirate and the leader of the Etherealki. Zoya is a powerful Grisha and one of the few to have possessed more than one amplifier.

She is feared by many in the Little Palace and in Os Alta, due to her immense powers as well as her caustic nature. Often Zoya is shown to be ambitious, stubborn, and vindictive, and is capable of being extremely mean and disagreeable. Despite her prickly demeanor and her sharp tongue, however, Zoya is intelligent, hardworking, and deeply loyal to Ravka.

Zoya has long, black, wavy hair, brown skin, and dark blue eyes. She is half Suli through her father's ancestry. Nikolai humorously describes her to be "pretty as a picture and brimming with spite." She is constantly described as beautiful in 7 books of grishaverse. She is 6 feet tall or so.
