| Description: |
Zef is a storm bound in feline form, his charcoal-black fur etched with darker crackles that crawl across his pelt. His unkempt coat bristles constantly, standing on end with a restless static that's more emotional than literal. His blue eyes gleam electric and staring, and his forked horns rise like jagged lightning bolts from his skull, their tips glowing faintly. His wings resemble a storm petrel's -- dark, sleek, edged in white -- and his thick tail is ringed with dark bands.

| Personality: |
Zef experiences the world like a thunderstorm in his skull, with every sound, color, and feeling of sensory input crashing recklessly into the next. To stay grounded, he builds rituals of quiet: licking static-free dewdrops, staring at cloudbanks until they blur into silence, and curling inside hollow logs where the world softens. He speaks rarely, in broken phrases, but his body language says what he won't: flaring tail sparks, dimmed horns, a tremble in his fur. He keeps maps of "soft places" in his mind, safe zones where sensations don't scream.
He guards his solitude like treasure, but there's one exception: Nif. Her voice, for reasons he can't explain, makes the chaos hum instead of shriek. Around her, he endures the noise. For her, he'll even venture into the storm.
